SHORT HOURS AND EFFICIENCY.
James McAdam Contributes to Present
Discussion.

Writing to THE Monumental News,
James McAdam of Barre makes the
following contribution to a discussion
that is going the rounds of the granite
industry:
"A question of much interest to gran
lite manufacturers and granite cutters
alike has recently been preached by VIM
J. Crawford, Of Buffalo, as discussed
editorially in the June issue OF The
Monumental News.
| "Mr. Crawford believes that granite
cutters work too long hours; that in a
shorter workday they would be able to
| produce more work on account of hay-
| ing greater energy to eXpend in
| the given time. An experiment has been
made at the Crawford plant in Buffalo by
having a picked workman employed
seven hours per day instead of eight
hours, and the result has been that the
said workman accomplished more in the
seven hour day than he used to do in
the eight-hour day.
THE experiment is to be tried on a
larger scale, and ii still successful the
whole OF the firms cutters will ulti-
mately be put upon a seyen-hour day
Nov, at first sight, all this seems
very specious and highly progressive,
but upon due consideration is it really
sol | hardly think it is.
I'm the first place, even allowing that
the experiment may work out all right
with first -class workmen, ii certainly
viii not he a success with the rank and
file all through. for the average men,
and those below the average, are at
their limit now. To force these men to
greater effort by cutting down the work
ing day, because fast men can do more
in seven hours than in eight hours,
would look to me like putting a pre-
MUM upon rushing" and | fail to see
at all how the scheme is going to bene-
fit granite cutters as whole, but rather
the contrary.
III workman does more work in
seven hours than in eight hours, he has
to speed mp to accomplish it, and we
know that the pace is fast enough now
in all conscience, as the heavy death
rate among granite cutters from lung
trouble amply shows.
"As bearing out Mr. Crawfonl's the.
DRY, it is pointed out that as much
work or more, Is produced now in eight
hours than used to he turned out in the
ten-hour day, But that is accounted for
by the introduction OF machinery main
ly, and in lesser degree by the fact
that granite cutters work harder now
than they did under the ten.hour sched-
ule.
There is a limit to this short day
idea beyond which it is neither advis-
able nor desirable to go at the present
time. Shorter hours will undoubtedly
come in due course, but in view of the
changes in the wage scale, recent and
prospective. that time is not yet come.
And while high wages and short hours
are desirable things in their own way,
there is something OF far greater inn
portance to both workman and employer
which is often lost sight of in the
strenuous scramble of modern indus
trial life-namely, the reasonable and
proper conservation of the health Of
the human machine

MAINE LIQUOR LAW ENFORCE
MFNT.

| According to the Portland Press, the
Maine prohibitory law is having its first
real test in fifty years, and other re-
ports tell us that where liquor has been
plenty heretofore there Is decided
drouth. In other words, Maine has been
deluded by the belief that it was pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor, while all the
| time liquor was being sold where there
was demand for it. The situation APP
pears to the Boston Herald like this
"All this rigid enforcement means that
the people of Maine are having good,
if not their first, opportunity to judge
the prohibitory law, and that when they
vote in 1914 they can vote according
to known conditions and not according
to theories, for the continuance of en-
| forcement, if not the continuance of the
law, viii be leading issue at the 1914
election. The law will stand or fall
by this trial. It can never be enforced
better than at present. If the results

accidents, business conditions, social con
ditions, and so forth-justify rigid en-
forcement and dry regime, the friends
of the law will go into the 1914 cam
paign with a greater degree of confidence
that they can stem the tide that for
years has been running strongly against
them in the growing cities
That appears to be fair statement
of the possibilities which lie before the
voters of Maine The election in 1914
viii give them a chance to vote in sin
certify and with full understanding
whether they wish to continue under the |
regime which is in control at the present
time. Heretofore, they have not had
full understanding of both sides of the
prohibitory law, the enforced side as |
we'll as the unenforced side Manifestly. |
therefore, the Maine election of 1914 is
bound to have an important bearing
throughout the entire nation.

Although he touched upon about every
other point in explaining why he was
to remove part of his Strtevant blow
err plant to Canada from Massachusetts,,
Governor Foss failed to enlighten the
public on the price of labor in the On
tario city of Gait, where he has pur-
chased land for the erection of factory
buildings, In giving such elaborate ex-
plantations of the other features, he
ought to have given at least passing
attention to the labor matter.

INDUSTRY earns money anu pTu-

Experience teaches us that
it is the part of prudence to
save a portion of ones earn
ings for that proverbial rainy
day." which, sooner or later,
comes to most of us.
Experience teaches us. also,
that it is the part of wisdom
to deposit those savings in a
well-managed savings institu-

FOUR per cent. interest.
1t is said that in 1920 there
were only 5000 savings de-
positors in the whole United
States, while to-day, less than
a century later, there are
more than 100000 savings
depositors in this country.
There must be a reason for
this wonderful increase-peo-
pie have learned that if they
would have they must first

lesson and profited by it, you

MAYOR SHANK
QUITS OFFICE
Resigns When Told Another
Strike Is Brewing.
UNREST At INDIANAPOLIS
Employers Threatened Impeachment
Proceedings in Case Of Further
Industrial Disturbances.

indianapolis. Nov. 29.-Rather than
face Impeachment proceedings Sam
uel Lewis Shank resigned as mayor
and was succeeded automatically by
Harry r. Wallace, city comptroller. A
committee Of business men had pre-
pared proceedings to remove Shank
from Office in case Of any further labor
trouble in the city and when the may
or was told by labor leaders that a
strike of union teamsters was immi-
nent he sent his resignation to the
city clerk.
Il feel that l did everything on my
part to be fair to both sides during
the recent street car strike" Mayor
Shank said in announcing his resigna-
ton, "but after the criticism that has
been heaped on me by the safety
board of the chamber of commerce
feel that l probably could not retain
my position and do my duty to the
general public as mayor on account OF
the bitter feeling that has grown out
of the labor controversy"
Mayor Wallace said the police sit
uation is so critical that he will take
personal charge of the department for
time.
New Mayor a Republican,.
The new mayor has been prominent
in Republican politics for some time.
He served one term as county auditor
and is on his second term as county
chairman.
Shank is probably the most novel
figure that ever occupied the mayors
office in Indianapolis. He achieved
wide notoriety by his handling of the
saloon problem early in his admins
tration Saloon keepers who violated
the law were taken before the mayor
and in many instances their licenses
were suspended for periods varying
from few hours to sixty days. One
saloon keepers license was suspend.
ed until he could show the mayor a
certificate, signed by a minister, that
he had attended church.
Shank also gained nationwide fame
in 1911 by his fight on the high cost
of living - He found that the city mar.
ket was failing in its original purpose
to bring the producer and consumer
together and he imported sixteen
carloads of potatoes which he retailed
at Is cents a bushel. Potatoes then
were retailing at $l.4O, but prices tum-
bled over night.
