AMERICAN COMPETITION.
In conversation with a correspondent of the ' Telegraph,' -Mr Seymour Bell, the British Commercial Agent at Chicago, said he considered that Americans were heating us, because, in the first place, they -were using to a much greater extent labor-saving machinery; and, in the second place, because British working men need educating to turn out work in larger quantities by using such machinery more extensively. Mr Westinghouse, of the British Westinghouse Company, states that for their place now in course of construction at Manchester his company will rind employment for 6,C00 workmen, and will depend almost exclusively upon British labor. Touching the important question of low prices, German manufacturers are quoting for electrical contracts, he says the reason for this is that German works are closing down for want of orders, and they are cutting down prices to secure trade.
