of treating workmen. Even though 1t
does not push the harsher methods
to the limit, the private manufac.
turer will do so from a consideration
of profit.
While we believe in all progressive
methods, and that economy is re-
quisite in government shops. we fail
to see the necessity of introducing a
system embodying such drastic I'M
democratic principles as follows:
1. The overworking and enslav-
ing of employees.
2. The elimination of the skilled
mechanic.
8. The tremendous unemployed
problem which will be caused by the
elimination of workmen who cannot
attain the maximum Of efficiency.
4. The evil of denying employees
a voice in determining the conditions
under which they are to work, and
the manufacturer assuming the right
of doing This own business" in his
''own way" irrespective of the rights
Of his employees.
This state of affairs has resulted In
the horrible labor conditions existing
in the steel industries of Pennsyl-
vania, where the maximum of en-
durance is the test.
5. The assumption that the
amassing of wealth is the question of
prime Importance, and the effect up
on the working people of secondary
consideration instead of regarding
the industry of the country as being
a. 81
tire people, and the fortunes made
to be allowed only as an incentive
for the maintenance of industry.
6. The assumption that this sys-
tenn acts as a labor saving invention
which would create a new field for
the manufacturing of commodities
but Is in realty a philosophy which
eliminates the average man.
z. The assumtion that it is proper
to use stop watch for the purpose
of ascertaining the maximum
amount of work that can be done by
an employe without applying the
same principle to the manufacturer
and ascertain the maximum amount
of wages he is able to pay.
8. The process of securing a body
of satisfied workmen by eliminating
those who are dissatisfied, thus
creating a situation where a work
man will refrain from divulging his
real feelings for fear of losing his
position.
Any system whose fundamental
basis depends on Mr.. Taylor's stop
watch theory for ascertaining the
of work a workman should

Charles E. Fearons in charge Of the

ern, kept the travellers supplied with
smokers.
One Of the points of interest at
Mathersville is the store of the Cable
Mercantile company, conducted by
]. A. O'Neil of this city. Mr.. O'Neil
was on the train with the boosters
and took pride in showing them the
establishment which he manages. He
was formerly in charge of the COM

and now has under his direction a
store at Silvis in addition to the one
at Mathersville.
All were impressed, both with the
physical construction and equipment
of the Rock Island Southern and the
magnificent country through which
it passes. That it has a fine future
and one that will mean much for
Rock Island is certain.
Every town along the way looked
good to the Rock islanders.
