British industries in war time



We lately pointed out the remarkable readiness of British workmen to suit their activity to war times and apply their industrial skill from one subject to another. A Dundee correspondent writing to an Anglo-Indian paper now complains of want of labourers in factories even with the offer of higher wages. It is said, he writes, that "many of the married women whose husbands are now at the front have sufficient money coming in without going to the mills. Girls are also finding other outlets and are not going to public works as they used to do." Evidently the war has made them prosperous in quite an unexpected manner. This is an experience which we imagine cannot be common to all other countries in Europe.
