INDUSTRIAL POSITION IN ENGLAND.

TIBWS OF BISHOP AVERILL. Auckland, August 26. "Hopelessness is written on the faces of the people living in the poor quarters of the great eities in England. The workers are struggling along without hope of improving their hard conditions of work. There is a great deal of poverty in fchfe big cities, industri.il -tnrest ■prevail*, and thousands of people are leaving Great Britain. In fact, I think there is trouble waiting ahead for the Old Country." Thus the Anglican Bishop of Waiapu (Dr. Averill) slimmed up his impressions of Great Britain in conversation with a Reporter. "Visits I paid to different manufacturing centres revealed the unsatisfactory < conditions under which the women and men worked, and showed the absence of iome life amongst the workers," said Bishop Averill. "Numbers of married women are employed in factories. The home and the children are neglected, ana eonsequently there is terrible mortality amongst young children. lam afraid there is not much chance of stopping this, 'but public opinion is against it, and I think that before very long it will be stopped to some extent."' He eaid that thousands of city dwellers appeared to be devoid of ambition, *ad a general air of hopelessness surrounded them. Workers were employed for long hours for very small pay —in many industries the weekly wage was [■only equivalent to.a day's pay in New Zealand. There was much Buffering amongst women and children, poverty was frequently met with, and. the difference in the physique of England's city children and the young folk of New Zealand was very marked. "I was struck by the absence of young people in the villages' in England," remarked the Bishop. "life in the villages appeared to be stagnant, and the pleasant rural atmosphere, Which once surrounded the villages, is not there now. The majority of the inhabitants' were old people, the young folks having gone away. In most cases they have gone to the cities. I observed a growing disposition amongst young men not to become apprenticed or to go in for any ' fixed jobs.- Now this will .prove very detrimental to England, for apprentices are dying out, as it were, and consequently only email numbers of 'trained artisan* are entering the industrial world. Youths prefer to take up one kind of work, then change to other employment, and so o,n, until eventually. ! they awell the great army of unemployed. The result of this changing employ-' i ment is disastrous, and the disappearance of the apprentice is to be deprecated. Then when one remembers that thousands of workers are leaving Great Britain for the colonies ;t is evident that the ranks of the wo/kers are being considerably weakened. Now, it is very "good for ua to see people coming out to New Zealand, for there is room here for i a large increase in'population, but most ] people overlook the fact that while Can-: ada, Australia and New Zealand are I benefiting by this emigration. Great Bri-1 tain ig suffering.' From what I have seen, I "think there is' trouble ahead for I the Old Country."
