THE PHILADELPHIA PLAN.
Probably the most important movement now go-
ing on in industrial America is what is sometimes
called the Philadelphia plan for the open shop. The
union labor chiefs met in Washington last week to
outline plans to meet it. They claim that it is a
bankers' movement and that the banks will refuse
to lend money to contractors who accept the closed
shop. There is no evidence available that this is
true. It is true that advances by skilled laborers
have been made to industrial managers, these skilled
workers advocating a system whereby they can be
paid for what they do and not according to the
average amount of work mass labor does. The
fight is to be a national one and has already begun
in several of the most important cities. It is spread-
ing to the smaller towns and the plan is for it to
embrace every community in the nation.

BRITISH EXPORT CREDITS.
According to the American Chamber of Commerce
in London, a return just issued by the British De-
partment of Overseas Trade of credits granted under
the export credits scheme shows that during the
three months ending September credits actually
granted amounted to £27,395 sterling. In view of
the fact that £26,000,000 sterling has been set aside
for the purpose of financing- exports, it is thought
that the scheme is not proving as successful as was
anticipated and that British business is not availing
itself of the facilities afforded by the scheme.
