Lloyd George, the British premier,
in a speech the other day in parlia
ment. said that British industry has
run i^foul of the law. One of the
arguments in favor of reducing the
number of working hours, he said,
was that the reruction in time would
not involve a reduction in output.
i
There has, the premier said, been a
substantial reduction in the hours of
labor and it has been found that the
output has been reduced almost in
the same mathematical proportion.
Lloyd George said he thought there
was evidence of international slow
ing down in production and that it is
necessary for not only the workmen
but the managers and the foremen
to put their shoulders to the task of
increasing production. It was a dan
gerous and fatal fallacy, he said, that
the less men worked the more work
there would be for others; and it Is
highly important for those having
influence with the workers to do
their utmost to explode that fallacy.
