In civilised society, he said. avery worker had a right to a living wage, and this had been accepted by all sections of thought at any rate, in theory. During the war there was such a improvement in wages that it could be said that practically every worker was receiving a living wage, and in 1819 the Government issued a pamphlet which stated that wages would never be allowed to return to the position of ten years ago, and that a reasonable standard of wages should bo a first charge on industry. Unfortun ately wages had returred to the position of ten years ago. There were now a Larger number of workers in receipt of loss than a living wage than when the first Trade Bourd. Act was passed. The Labour party did not ask for a universal flat rate. They recognised that that would be inpracticable under present conditions. The suggestion they put forward was that boards similar to Trade Boards should be established to x minimum wages with When in doubt about your eyes variations according to the conditions in different districts.

Major Boyd-Carpenter (Parliamentary Secretary Ministry of Labour). replying to the debate, said it was not want of will but practical diBculties that stood in the way of the realisation of a rational minimum wage.

Major Boyl Carpenter: The hon member is incorrect. I have had ne salary,

Mr. Jones: You have got a rise, anyhow.

Alajor Boyd Carpenter: Somis people get a fall. (Load lauzhter.) Ony difficulty, he continued, was as to what basis should be selected for a minimum wage. Was it to be a subsistence basis. or a family basis, or was there to be any recognition of the value of output? (A Labour Member: How did you fix the minimam?) The question must be looked at. from the point of view of what could be done without destroying industry, and also with regard to some definite principle: as to basin. In existing circumstances it would be impossible to arrive at it sound Coachssion as to what that basis should be.
