British workers are threatened
with wage reductions, or -already

in pay, ' a survey by the United
Press has revealed. .. "
The movement is part of a . gi
gantic effort by industrialists to
accomplish a twofold purpose?

Second Kejuvenate industry to

Some Cuts Already .
Workers, whose wages already
have been reduced Include 1,000,.
000 engineers, 200,000 shipbuilders.
100,000 chemical workers, .800,000
building workers, 600,000 railway
men and 100,000 boot manufactur
ers. Possibility of carrying the
reductions into the hard-hit textile
Industry is being contemplated.
Leaders of the woolen industry
are said to be considering a total
reduction of 14 per cent. Thou
sands of civil servants, whose sal
aries are based on the .cost of liv
ing, are making less than $16 a
