SHIPBUILDING WORKERS
MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY NOT REACHED. London, January I. The shipbuilding and engineering masters aro not satisfied that maximum efficiency has been reached. They do not complain that the men are drunken, but, owing to the great increase in their earnings there has been an extension of the habit of alcoholic refreshment. Men formerly drank during week-ends; now they drink every night. A certain slackness has crept in, and some jobs now ' take 50 per cent, extra time. The liquor restrictions have made little difference., the lost time being still 20 per cent. The masters believo the Clyde workmen would accept prohibition without any great outcry.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
