In the engineering shops or certain
English firm the worlzmen a year or two
ago originated what they called the Lazy
Club. Il was entirely their own idea,
which for obvious reasons has received
neither recognition nor financial support
fron1 the management. but has been a
most excellent means Of reducing the
number Of late comers-
Whenever a workmen is more than five
minutes after time he finds the gate
locked and he is not allowed TO enter IN
til the half hour is Up. This half hour IS
deducted from his wages. but in addition
be has also 70 pay 20 the treasurer Of the
Lazy Club ab0at cents for coming late.

fact. and the second or third time he
makes his appearance after starting tine
he IS greeted with terrific combination
of noises prodGced on any available ma
teTial by his fellow -workmen.
~ certain periods the accumulated
funds Of the Lazy Club are divided. not
among those who have produced them II
should be noted but among the entire
staff equally. Thus the late workman is
made to pay the early c0mers for his lazi-
ness. The last distribution was just prior

during twelve months were distributed
