- OREMEN are born not made This
t- is just as true as the old adage con-
corning poets. man must have
the making of a leader of men In him
If he is to become leader And
foremansis essentially leader. There are
undoubtedly, plenty Of instances where the
foreman of a shop is anything but leader
Of men, where the only qualities that he
possesses to recommend him for the position
OF /" boss is a complete knowledge Of the
work he has in hand and years of service

But the foreman, when he is the man for
the place, is the man who comes to the work
with the qualities that make for leadership.
and who learns the work that Is to be done
rapidly, and actually forces himself into
the position of foreman through his SUPERIOR
ity and capac ity for the handling of men,.
While itamay appear that am suffering

What Stock Clerk Must Do

A sample of what the stock clerk has to
do to earn his pay may be seen In the busy
time at any large FIRMS stockroom. Stock
Is constantly being taken away by the wagon
load and new stock added Everything Is
going al top speed, orders must he filled In a
hurry or not at all, and II any part Of the
stock Is allowed to go short there are dis
appointed customers, lost orders. and angry
employers. The stock clerk is the man who
must bear the brunt of all this hustle and
responsibility OF Bookkeeping lie IT. is who
sees that the stock Is kept complete as 1t
should be- That is, he does or he loses his

stances will be easily worth $50 week.
The chances for the stock clerks advance

Confidence Of Mon Vital.

A foreman must, above all, know all about
everything that Is connected with his work.
He must be able to teach new men surely and
quickly. and when a question comes up he
must be able to decide It in the manner that
speaks of authority, II he is atal undecided
in his manner 1t will soon be apparentto the
men. and II the men have not the idea that
the man who is over them is no more compo-
tent than they, the foreman is going to have
trouble governing them. Confidence in him
self and his Knowledge Of the. work under
hand must be the keynote to the foreman's
charactersand nothing will give him this air

This was reason number one why I should
come to the foreman's notice. Reason num-
Der two was because I =. made ready \ faster
a nd better than any man In the place, ana pc
cause convinced the pressfeeders that they
could feed sheets just little faster than
they had been In the custom Of doing.
This last act incurred for me the enmity
of the foreman, and eventually brought about
his downfall He had everything arranged
in the shop to SUIT himself He had the work
laid out to be done on a time schedule. When
my presses got through with one line of work
and were ready for anot her the foreman was
palned. He ntimated that would better
leave things run as they had been In the GUS
tom OF doing, and that further arrangement
OF his plans would mean my discharge. He
also took itupon himself to make life mscra-
Bile for the two feeders who worked according
to my orders.
& Foreman H DIST by Own Petard
A foreman cannot afford to let personal
spite eriter into his ma nagement OF the men
under him.
y What followed think is proof Of my con-
tention that the foreman Is to the manner
born. ST The old foreman did his best to hurt
me and the men who had worked ahead Of
his plans. When some Of the other press
feeders commented on this he proceeded to
do all In his power to make them tired OF
their jobs. Nothing would have pleased him
better than to see the entire crowd OF US
thrown into the street Il
ssf But 1t didn't turn out that way at all a
month had not passed before lie had antag-
onized every man In the shop through his
broWbeating tactics, 5a
It was about this time that the additioni1
had made to the presses came to the attention
of the proprietor Almost simultaneously
the two pressmen whom the foreman had
been nagging went to him with a complaint
4 as to the trea tment they were receiving. Tho
foreman promptly secured their discharge.
Then there was a strike In the shop and
the whole truth OF the matter came out,
There was not one of the men int the fifty
employed in the shop who did not stick by
3 n when the foreman Informed the owner
i that I was the source Of all the trouble. And
not one Of them that did not insist that the
#old foreman be dlscha rged.
