MAY SELL MONTICELLO
TO U. S. GOVERNMENT
Representative Levy Influenced, It
Is Believed, by Secretary Bryan's
Suggestion Of Patriotic Duty.

Representative Levy of New York,
owner of Thomas Jefrerson's home.
Monticello. intimated today that he
would sell that much discussed prop
erty to the United States government.
Secretary Bryan wrote Mr.. Levy let
ter few days ago, suggesting that
the property be transferred by sale to
the government. and Mr.. Levy had a
talk with the Secretary this morning
Although Mr.. Levy has not declared
his intention of making any agreement
as to a sale, he said the letter from the
Secretary of State has put the matter
in a new light" and that the admins
tration seems to be "in favor Of acquir-
ing historic Monticello"
Mr.. Levy has always fought the idea
which Mrs. Martin Littleton has urged
that the government should condemn
Monticello by law and take 1t from its
owner. Secretary Bryan's recent letter
stated 1t would be a patriotic move for
Mr.. Levy to offer the historic property
to the government for outright pur-
chase during this democratic admins
tration.

'DENOUNCES WATCH
IN SHOP MANAGEMENT
House Labor Committee Declares
Against Taylor Efficiency System
for Government Employees.

A report in opposition to the Taylor
system" OF stop-watch management IN
government shops was fled by Repre-
sentative keating of Colorado. from
the House Committee on Labor today
The report urges the passage Of the
Dietrich bill prohibiting stop-watch
management in any government shop
and hnds fault with Brig. Gen. Crozier,
chief of the division of ordnance, War
department. for making SO strong a
plea for the system. The report takes
the view of organized labor all the
way through and condemns nearly
everything shop management and effi-
cheney experts have said about the
system.
The report says:
Inc Taylor system regards the
workman as machine, to be 'speeded
up to its maximum capacity. When
this human machine fails to function
to the satisfaction of the management
1t Is to be cast aside to make room for
new machine fresh workman.
The authors of the system do not ap-
pear to have concerned themselves
ABOUT the ultimate fate of the human
derellcts who may be compelled to
drop out because they cannot stand
the pace: Mr.. Taylor boasts that when
he Installed his system in the Bethle-
nem steel works he purposely made
the tasks SO hard that not more than
one out of five laborers (perhaps even
smaller percentage than this) could
keep up.

That may be the kind of efficiency
which produces dividends for the steel
