A stage in every could be made a power for Pe They | | men. Another instance in which the eight-hour day has been a fallure was brought to light dusfug the in- [ vestigations being made by the | French senate commission on finance. |In giving evidence before this com- mission, Senator Cheron admitted | that the French railroads are operat- jing at a loss of eight million francs la day. The deficit last year amounted [to "three billion francs, -even the state-owned railroads failing to meet expenses by eight hundred million francs. . When asked for an explanation of this loss, Senator Cheron said that ir was chiefly due to the fact that the eight-hour working day restricts transportation to such an extént that | the collapse of the entire system is threatened. He severely condemned f the eight-hour policy, which, he sald, tends to induce idleness, much time being lost in changing shifts, which could be overcome if the workers Were allowed to work more hours a | day, especially in the loading or un- | loading of freight cars. The evil ef- | fects of "the eight-hour day on the | shorter lines were especially stressed, {as on these lines there is omly-one | train each way dailly, which necessi- [tates two complete crews, neither of | whom actually work more than halt i time, but have to be paid for the full | eight hours, Efforts to hold over the unloading operations to meet this con- dition have resulted in a decrease of ten thousand carloads between Nov- ember and February 1st, this alone representing a loss of ome billion francs a year if continued at the pre- sent rate. The experience of France is not held up as an example of what would happen in Ontario if the eight-hour day law were adopted, as the differ- ence in local conditions might influ- euce the success of the experiment. But the plan has been an economic failure in Sweden, it has proven dis- astrous in France, and these results should be sufficiently conclusive to at least give food for serious thought to those who have the matter under consideration in this province. -------- THE STABILITY OF LLOYD GEORGE, One of the wonders of the pres- ent day is the manner in which the coalition government in Great Bri. tain, headed by Premier David Lloyd George; has weathered the many storms through which it has passed since its formation. In France gov- ernments come, and gohe in rapid succession since the war end- ed. In Italy, Belgium, Greece, Ger- many and in the United States the war-time governments have fallen by the wayside. The electors have simply overwhelmed them, or their own sup- porters have deserted their ranks, Canada still retains what is, techni cally, her war 'time government, but the people have had no opportunity of expressing their approval or dis- approval of it. While governments on every side have been defeated and deposed, that of Lloyd George goes serenely on its way, gaining strength in spite of a few desertions. The strength and popularity of the Lidyd George government was amply demonstrated by the ¥Yote on Horatio Bottomley's resolution of censure in the House of Commons. ¢ wag a Straight test of the strength of the * "But money doesn't talk to-day, It honks." | Paw Kuows Everything. iw illie--~Paw, what is a slip-on?
