RESEARCH.

EXAMPLES FROM TIN PLATE.

[By the Right Hon. W. Graham, LLD., M.P., late Financial Secretary to the Treasury]. The celebration this year of the bicentenary of the inven-. tion of tin-plate gives special interest to the following article by Mr. William Graham on cer- tain aspects of the industry to- day. It is interesting to recall, in connection with his refer- ence to the Stabilisation of Price Committees in South Wales, that the question of stabilising the price of tin has recently been before the in- producing industry.

Tin-plate has been the subject of some of the most interesting Inves. tigation of the Industrial Fatigue Research Board. They cover such problems as the effect of hours of work, including the arrangement of (Specially Authorised by Presidential the working day per week, the per- sonal factor in accident causation, Mandate of the Republic of China
