THE FOLLY OF IT
A plasterer damaged a brick in the course of his work on a new housing estate in South London. He started to rejilace it, but was told by the foreman that was not his job. So the plasterer waited till a bricklayer working three miles away could be sent for to rejilace the damaged brick. The plasterer, in exjiostulating at the delay, accidentally put his arm through a window. As a practical workman he wanted to rejilace the broken glass. He was not permitted to do so. A glazier had to be summoned from an adjoining estate to do a simple job and neglect his own work. That is the latest examj.de of Britain’s trade union regulations. —“Sunday Express.”
