these instances as the cause of our present world-wide stagnation is somewhat startling. The whole attitude is so grotesque that it needs no refutation among intelligent and unbiassed persons. But if a man thinks he is only going to be employed until the Employers' Federation may issue a £at for dismissals, in which he may be included, then he is not likely to be interested in bis work. He will do as little as possible and take things freely. It is this lack of effort which is the curse of industry. It brings no benefit to any man, woman, or child, and has no relation to any intelligible ideal. Its elimination would do much to restore employ- ment and prosperity."
STANDARD WASE.
"
Another fallacy which was particularly damaging, added Mr. Barues, was the belief? that if a standard wage for naskilled labour was set up by the public authorities then private employers must pay at least as much. It was this idea which led to the firing of municipal employees', wages at about £1 per week. Here, again, was the same delusion in regard to wages and foreign trade. The policy was that they could get more out of industry than they put into it. All public expenses were charge or indus try, no matter whether they were imposed by a local authority or by the Imperial Government. If rates were high, the prices of goods made the particular area ast inevitably go up, and the cost of production would rise proportionately, so, therefore, the chance of private employers paying above the municipal rates were lessened, instead of in- creased, by municipal extravagance. En- gineers wages were now below those of dustmen, and there was a movement for further reductions. The only chance of engineers wages rising was by lessening the cost of production of engineering products. It was the same in regard to the transport of goods and the cost of coal. It was a fundamental error to think wages could be paid without any relation to output. "My view is that industry must be viewed from the pro- ductive end," said Mr. Barnes, in con- clusion. "I know in times past labour
