N. R. A. PLAN FOR BRITAIN?

COTTON INDUSTRY.

BILL PROGRESS

STATE CONTROL OF WAGES

London, May 17. The scheme for the control of wages in the Lancashire cotton industry, which has been likened to the American N.R.A. codo system, on a modified scale, ad- vanced a stage further to-day.

The House of Commona' passed the second reading, without a division, of the Cotton Manufactur- Ing Industry Bill, which makes temporary provision to enable statutory effect to be given to wage scales agreed between re- presentatives of the employers and employees,

The Bill also provides for the appointment by the Minister of Labour of a Board of Three from which will be excluded any perman connected with the cotton industry.

EXPERIMENTAL BILL.

The Board's duty will be to determine in cases where infringe- ments of the wage agreements may bo alleged.

The proposals are frankly ex- porimental and it is considered probable that if the system should prove successful, the principle will be extended to other basic industries. Reuter,
