Testify System Is Harsh.

"Workmen who have worked under the
system in private shops. and who testified
before the committee, stated under oath
that the system is harsh and oppressive,
and altogether disagreeable under which
to work.
Mr.. Taylor does not think that his
system Is oppressive or relentless, and
does not see why worknen should not
thrive and be happier under it.
1.-The question to determine is-what is
harsh treatment? We submit that GER
tain methods Of scientific management
are harsh. and should not be permitted
in government shops.
1.-THE War Department is at present
working out the details of the Taylor
system at the WATERFOWL arsenal, Water
town, Mass, SO as to make them appli-
cable to the manufacture of ordnance
material, and the testimony at the hear
ings also shows that the preliminary fea-
lures of the system are being installed
at the Rock Island arsenal in the machine
shop, where gun vehicles, nmbers, Gals
sons. etc, are manufactured, and that 1t
is the intention Of the ordnance depart
ment to introduce there the other fea-
lures Of the Taylor system as soon as
their application has been perfected at
the Watertown arsenal"
After quoting testimony from Gen. Gro
zier. chief of ordnance, regarding the cost
of manufacture in these government
plants, the report continues:

Experts Taken as Standard.

I'm setting tasks, the most capable
workmen are used. When it is desired to
ascertain how long it should take to do a
given job the time study man takes OBJ
servations Of one Of the fastest ,workmen
who has been selected for the purpose
and notes the time it takes, by means
Of a stop watch, to do each OF the ele-
mentary operations of the job. All of
these elements or unit times are added,
and their resulting time is supposed to be
the standard time set for that job"
y The Senate committees report refers to
an investigation of the systems of 'scien-
tific management" by committee Of the
House. and comments that Its findings
we're against the features Of the system,
which were designed to stimulate the
workmen to extraordinary exeruons."
Continuing, the report says:
1.-THE employees of the government, who
seem to be unanimous in their opposition
to the system, are of the opinion that to
carry out a program based upon the prin-
ciples and methods of the Taylor system
above outlined, would mean relentless
speeding up. destroy harmony among the
employees. and would result in various
other forms of oppression.

City Troop of Philadelphia
Has Fastest Combination.
WON EASILY YESTERDAY
Gave Five-Point Handicap to AL.
Stars and Yet Won
by 10 to 8lA.

BY it's playing yesterday against the
all-star combination of army men the
crack City Troop of Philadelphia DEM
onstrated it's superiority over other
branches of the army at polo yester-
day. The Qual0ers had no trouble win
ming. Notwithstanding the five-point
handicap which they voluntarily gave to
the team against which they were pitted.
The final score was 10 to 81, which
really means that 1T was 10 to 3M. as the
all-stars' five-point handicap is included
in the first mentioned score.
The City Troop played brilliantly. 1t
gave about the classiest exhibition of
polo ever seen here. It's players, both
Individually and as a team, gave a won-
derful performance in riding. driving
daring work and in the accuracy of their
movements.
NJ. g. Rosengarten. who played No. 3
for the Quakers, was the individual star.
His brilliant work was the feature Of the
contest. There was not q period dur
ing the entire match when he was not
all over the field, almost sustaining the
bulk Of both the defense and offense of
his club. He scored six of the ten goals
made by that team, and two Of them
were wonders. In the sixth period, from
almost the center Of the field, RoSen-
garten shot the ball true as die through
the goal posts, and again in the same
period he scored q difficult shot from an
angle.
Capt. Browne did the best work for the
Army team. Had it not been for his
fine defensive play the score run up by
the Quakers would probably have been
much larger.

No Necessity for System.

1T will be observed that the very shop
In which ordnance materials are manu-
featured at less than half the cost of
purchasing from private contractors is
the place where it is proposed to install
the Taylor system. We submit that the
necessity does not exist for the installa-
ton of such a system of intensive pro-
duction, with its accompanying disregard
for the welfare of the employe, in a
plant where efficiency has already reached
an advanced stage.
THE ordnance department Is to be COM
mended for its ability TO manufacture
economically. but this much-desfred
achievement should not he further aug
mented by the introduction Of any system
Of shop management so apparently unjust
to the employees.
"As long as the department insists upon
holding these features in the background
with the understanding that they are to
be used at some future time, 1t will be
impossible to secure the cooperation Of
the employees as to other changes which
might be advantageous. due to the sus-
picion which now exists. The passage OF
this bill will allay fear and suspicion and
for that reason win be for the good Of
the service"

IS BEST AT P0[O|NAVY YARD is C|TED|
Used as an Argument Against
scientific Management"
OPPRESSIVE TO WoRKMEN
Senate Committee Refers to Results
Attained Here in Oppos-
ing Systems"

The Washington navy yard is cited as
an argument against the adoption by the
government of the Taylor or other sys-
tenn of scientific shop management by
the Senate committee on education and
labor in it's report urging the passage of
the bill aimed to prevent the use Of the
oppressive and harsh features of such
systems in navy yards, arsenals and other
government shops.
1.-THE machine shops of the Midvale
Steel Company Of Philadelphia, Pa,
where Mr.. Taylor perfected his system
has since his advent there abandoned
most Of 1t as an Improbable method of
management" says the report. Some of
the features of the system which are
obnoxious to workmen are still in vogue
there, however. One of the strongest
competitors OF this concern for govern
ment work is the Washington navy yard.
where the system is not used.
THAT the navy yard is strong COM
petitor Is shown in the testimony OF Capt
Washington navy yard, before the naval
affairs committee Of the House, February
2S, 1905, in which he shows that the cost
Of manufacture at that yard is less In
most cases than by contract"
Local Employees Long in Fight.
Employees Of the local navy yard have
been fighting against the introduction of
the Taylor system in the shops there for
many months. And 1t is their fight, Joined
with that of employees In other navy
yards and arsenals, that brought about
the demand for the legislation favored by
the Senate committee on labor.
The committees report discusses at
length the features of the Taylor system,
saying in part:
I'm the selection of working force it
Is the purpose of this type of manage
ment to displace as rapidly as possible the
high class of workmen ordinarily en-
ployed on such work. with common labor
ers, who are cheaper and are glad to
earn little more than formerly, even
though 1t is not SO much as was earned
by the mechanic whom they displace.
This desired achievement Is not always
attainable. however, and depends upon
the condition OF the labor market.
This principle Of the elimination of
high-priced help also applies to the
bosses.
1T is also proposed to stimulate the
activity of the employees by Offering pre-
miums and bonuses ranging from 80 per
cent to 100 per cent more than was for
merly earned by the employees in order to
induce them to reach the daily task that
is set That is, If a mathinist getting S.
per day is displaced by a laborer getting
81 so per day, the laborer gets from 30 to
100 per cent more per day than he for
merly received If he succeeds in COM
pleting his task

Not by the election of Colonel Roosevelt,
because it is clear that by no miracle

is obvious, therefore, that he too would be

that Gov. Wilson is the only candidate
