‘ Modern Industry and National
Character '
Mr. WILLIAM FERRIE
IT is a big jump from the employer of industry to the working man, and there must necessarily be a wide divergence in their points of view. We heard last week an employer's analysis of the problem of the effect of industry on national character, and this evening we are to hear that of William Ferrie , who is an employee in a large engineering works.
William Ferrie 's views may or may not represent those of the majority of his colleagues, or of the working man in general, but they are those of a man who has been employed all his life in industry, and knows where the shoe pinches.
Ferrie will give listeners an account of his day; he will tell them what his workmates are saying and thinking; of the effect of machinery on them, and of the conditions under which they live at home.
Next Monday listeners are to hear the views of a working woman.
