BILL IS AIMED AGAINST
"STOPWATcH" METHODS.
Mr.. Peppers Measure Makes
Timing Of U. S. Employees
Work Illegal.

A bill affecting thousands of government
employees in offices. shops and govern
ment bureaus of all kinds Is now before
the House committee on reform in the
civli service. introduced by Representa-
tive Pepper OF Iowa, who does not believe
that the government should use any
'stopwatch' methods to keep tab on the
amount of work done. This bill is a slap
in the face of the various schemes to have
standard of work and a standard of
ehciency toward which all employees must
strive. 1t affects particularly such bu
reaus as the census bureau, and, OF course.
the Washington navy yard, along with all
navy yards and arsenals where govern
ment employees are at work, would be af-
fected.
Mr.. Peppers bill reads:
THAT it shall be unlawful for any of
hcer. manager superintendent. foreman
or other person having charge of the
work of any emplOye of the United States
government to make or cause to be made,
with a stopwatch or other time-mea sur
ing device. a time study of the MOVE
ment of any such emplOye, or to pay or
cause to allow to be paid to any such
employe any premium or bonus as wages
or otherwise
Cash Prizes Not Barred.
The bill further specifies that moth
ing shall be construed in the bill so
as to keep any employee from being
paid any cash prize offered under au-
thority of law for suggestions resulting
in improvements or economy i'm the
operation of the plant in which he is
employed.
Further. the bill provides that any
violations of the proposed act shall be
deemed misdemeanor and shall be
punished by fine of not more than
$500 or by Imprisonment of not more
than six months
