from a London Correspondent len Squire , engineering officer of the T&GWU, spoke of “shocking cases of corruption" when he addressod a meeting of the Council of Citizens of Bast London, at Toynbee Hall last week. “Amongst the lower levels of administration, there are men who dewand bribes from coloured workers, and it is as well that this is said and said publicly, as there are laws by which this sort of thing can be overcome,” Mr. Squire’s area covers the Southall district where there is a large Indian community whose tradition for bartering is being callously exploited by labour managers who have found that jobs for Indian workers have a market value of several pounds. £10 is quite a usual figure. There have also been regrettable instances of money being accepted by foremen in exchange for week~end working, despite constant vigilance from shop stewards and the firm line taken by thé Union's Executive on this issue.
