Description:Excerpt from The Engineering Magazine, Vol. 15: An Industrial Review; April to September, 1898Britain, on terms that could not have been offered with profit, had they been depended on, as British terms always are, for dividends.In one important condition affecting competition, apart from natural resources and efficient labour, there has been a wide difference in the past between the chief competing countries of the world, which is not likely to be perpetuated to the same extent in the future. I refer to the inﬂuence on cost of production exerted by the action of the State. The effect of legislation in the increased cost of producing coal has been very serious in Great Britain, authoritative estimates having placed it at 15. 3d. To 15. 6d. Per ton. In Germany the effect of the introduction Of the system of workmen's compensation for acci dents has been to greatly increase the burdens on industry, the aver age of some large works being as much as 4 to 5 per cent. On the total amount of wages paid. One large concern that I have Visited in Westphalia has paid as much as 96 25, 500 in rates, taxes, and State obligations on a capital of only J800,000, and apersone! Of In Great Britain the Workmen's Compensation Act of last year will come into operation on July 1, and will lead to similar results, although probably not to so serious an extent. Hitherto the United States have kept comparatively free from such burdens, as well as from the more serious burdens of conscription and the maintenance of a large standing army. Will this continue to be the case in the future? Will the United States continue to be as free from war bur dens as hitherto, relatively to other countries? If the United States were on an even keel with European countries in these respects, the balance-sheets of manufacturing firms would in some cases be likely to show very different results. As it is, it is notorious that comparatively few of the leading American iron-making corporations have been making large profits, and that some of them have incurred heavy losses. I am aware that there are notable exceptions, -or, rather, one notable exception, that has made really handsome profits, due to an efficiency of administration and a singleness of purpose rarely equalled in manufacturing annals.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
