“ MAKE THIS THE AGE OF LUXURY WAGE.”
LONDON, September 20. "Make this the age of the luxury wage,” said Sir Charles Highaxn at Leicester last night. "All this talk about minimum wage and living wage is wrong. "The American workman earns a luxury wage—the English workman can earn it too if he will, but he has got to put the same heart and soul and energy into his job that the American workman does. "Next year is going to be a big year. The shipyards are getting ready for laying down ships; it is the first time they have done it for many a year—and that is an indication. that things are coming our way again.”
