German Workmen VS.. American.
I walked through the works with the as
sistant manager, Mr.. Cotton. who was for
merly with our Westinghouse Company in
the United States. and as did SO chatted
with him about the difference between the
German and American workman. In reply
to my questions he said:
Il have not been here very long, and may
have occasion to change my opinion. but
so far l don't think the Germans can do
more than 90 per cent as much work as the
Americans We pay our laborers about half
as much as similar men receive in the
United States. and we work them more
hours but proportionately the Americans
do as much for the money. Take the man
over there who is filing at that piece of
machinery. Notice how carefully he works,
and how he keeps at 1t until every tooth Is
exactly right and beautifully shiny He
turns out fine work. but he wastes time in
doing 1t. The machine Is no better for the
extra finish. An American would give that
machine dozen strokes of the file and
smooth 1t up well enough for all practical
purposes. The German Is not contented
with anything but perfect finish. His
work looks better. but it is no better as far
as utility Is concerned. This Is one of my
greatest troubles here l can't get these

Yes, We find they can was the reply.
''They will work as well as the Americans.

chanics receive wages equal to what they
could get in the United States and the
