6 SEPTEMBER 1924, Page 3

We mentioned recently, not for the first time, the flow

of skilled artisans to America. It was a pleasure to read in the Westminster Gazette of Friday, August 22nd, a statement, which we hope is well substantiated, that many of these artisans are returning from America and arefinding work here. An official of the Amalgamated Engineering Union, which controls an American-Canadian Branch, declared that the men were " returning steadily." He admitted, however, that some have only returned temporarily, and intend to go back to America when the general disturbance of trade caused by the Presidential Election is ended.
