By EDWARD C. GAYLER, Sunday Dispatch Finance News Editor

BRITAIN'S wage bill has gone up by well over £2,000,000 a werk since the war started. This sum represents the increases which employers are paying to their staffa to meet the increased cost of living.

It does not include overtime payments. Were this sum to be included, the total increase would be somewhere in the neighbourhood of £7,000,000 extra a week.

Part of this "extra" wages is going into the National Ex- chequer in the form of Savings Certificates and Post Office Savings Bank Deposita.

Since the National Savings Committee started its campaign, well over £190,000,000 has been raised to finance our war effort. Last week's total "small" savings was nearly £11,000,000, or the best week since the beginning of last December.

ALL HOLIDAYS'

After meetings between representatives of workers and cm- ployers at Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, iron and steel works it was announced that all holidays had been cancelled at the request of 15,000 workers.

Soldiers carrying revolvers mixed with the crowds on the sea-front of one town, and also patrolled the pier.

Bridges, main cross-ronds, and other strategic points in the area were under armed guard.

At a civil airport in one town, troops in steel helmets, with fixed bayonets, guarded all approach roads and kept watch from the tower of the Administration building.

In some towns every N.C.O., although normally off duty, is carrying a rifle and ball ammunition. Certain police officers have been issued with automatic revolvers.
