A COTTON WAGES SUGGESTION.


Anything tliat will assist tho Lancashire cotton


trade to arrivo at a reasonable sottloment of th« wages question deserves attontion. “ Chartered Accountant,” writing in tho


“ Manchestor Ouardian," suggests a bettor h’no ot approach than that put forward by tho em­ ployers and now before tho oporativos’ trade unions tor thoir decision. To demand an immediate reduction o( wages by Os. in tho pound, when they aro already attenuated by short time, does not appear to " Cliartorod Accountant ” to bo practical politics. And tho trade has not boon so successful in its rocont wages ngrocraonts that it con afford to adopt a stand-offish attitudu towards suggestions from outaido. Tho ngnJemont for a fixed period wliich expired a year ogo told heovily against tho oporativos towards the end, and it wns only by tho distribution ot bonuses that they were iii- ducod to let it run its course. The present agreement, on tiio other hand, has bound tlio employers, in a time ot almost unexampled depression, to pay a much higtior rate of wages than they did in their most pros[ieroua days. Tlio operatives linvo not. in fact, been bonofitted by tills higli scale in tlio Inst six or eight months, but production costa hnvo boon raised novor- theless, and that is a point tliat concerns all interests.


" Chartered Accountant ’ ’ points


out that tho opocatives have no intention of ever reverting to lOlI wages and many employers agree that it is not in the |x>rrannent interests of tho trado that they sliould do so, for it is essen­ tial tliat tho mills should coutinuo to attract a good typo of operatives. Our CorroB|>ondont’a view (says tlio “ Guardian ’ ’ ) is that tho wages question slluuld bo dealt witli by a scale de|Xind- ing upon tho coat of living. Tin's, ho says, would give tlio employers an immediate rsduction ol 16 [n'r eent. ou current wages, and more could bo doduciod as tho cost of living fell, but a limit sliould bo placed upon tlio reductions and tho worst possible should bo bettor than tho actual rate of 1914. Tho dotiiils, of course, are oiwn for discussion ; it is only tlio prineiplo that matters just now. Can it not bo said that tho priiioiplo is worthy of acco]itonro J
