CONDEMN SCIENTIFIC
SHOP METHODS
Industrial Relations Commission Has
Within Its Jurisdiction Power to
Do Service by Exposing Them
CONDITIONS NEED REMEDY1NG
Object Lessons Severe Former Of
Taylor Method Gives Reasons Why
Form is a Calamity
BY Congressman c. H. Tavenner

BY Congressman C. II. Tavenner
Washington, April 15.-The In
dustrial Relations Commission has it
in it's power to do a great service to
humanity by exposing the inhuman-
ity of the so-called scientific shop
management originated and devel-
oped by Frederick w. Taylor, of
Philadelphia. This Commission was
created to investigate and offer So
lutions for the great labor problems
giving rise to the industrial unrest
in this country. You can get in
Washington both sorts of opinions
about the Commission-that it is go
ing to show the way to ultimate re-
forms at one extreme, and that,
through timidity and discussions
among It's members, it will prove to
be failure.
Whatever the Commission does in
the way of recommending legisla-
tion or proposing no solutions what
ever, it is evident that some of the
members see clearly conditions that
need remedying. This is shown by
the fact that the Commission is now
entering upon a study of scientific
management. It recently heard
Taylor as witness.
We're this Commission to condemn
scientific management in strong
terms as inhuman, the force of it's
decision would do much toward alb
olishing this horrible treadmill bust
ness system, even though Congress
and the States followed with no
legislation prohibiting it. Public
opinion can do much. It is surely
abolshing child labor, and it could
abolish the Taylor system.
Scientific management is fine for
everybody except those who have to
work under it. Mr. Taylor himself,
in his handbook for manufacturers,
gives some of the reasons why sci
entific management is a calamity for
labor. e..
At one place in this book he says:
For the success of the system the
number of men employed on prar-
tically the same class of work should
he large enough for the workmen
quite often to have the object les
son of seeing men laid off for failing
to earn high wages, and others SUBJ
stituted in their places" 49,.
For refined cruelty there in moth
ing in modern life to equal this. One
can easily imagine the value of the
objeut lesson on John Smith, who
has a sick wife, perhaps, and three
or four little children who look to
him for bread and clothing. We
will say that John Smith is not SO
delft of hand as his fellow en-
ployees in the department. under sci
entific management. He drives
his clumsiness to the utmost to keep
up and earn living wage. He
cannot afford to lose single half
day of work, Then he sees other
temperamentally slow men laid off OF
discharged for an object lesson to
him. The torturers of the middle
ages missed something in not know
ing about scientific management and
it's 'object lessons"

Attorney Andrews Still in Favor Of
Uniting on Senatorial Candidate
Strong for County Option
TINE TO SELECT PROPER MAN
Urges That Effort Be Made to Bring
Out Candidate At Least Accept
able to Majority Of Voters

=
the senatorial situation of this dis
t1'ict was reviewed, A.. A. Andrews,
one of Bemidji's best known lawyers,
who several months ago announced
his intention of becoming a candi-
date, says:
Suggests Withdrawal
editor Pioneer:
i feel that your article and your
editorial in yesterdays Pioneer calls
for somestatement on my part while
/ have been in the past and am
still willing to withdraw in favor
of anyone that the people can unite
upon, still it seems Inat Mr.. Wilson
is not willing to do so. If Mr. Will
son insists upon being a candidate
for the senate at all hazards, then
certainly will file in opposition.
However, 1 hope that some pressure
can de brought to bear llpon Mr..
Wilson so that both of us may with
draw for the best interests of the
district. There lis some, little time
yet before the time in which one
must file and trust that in the
meantime some effort will be made
to unite upon some candidate that
will be acceptable to at least a ma
jority of the people of this rounty.
Disgrace To State
Il feel also at this time that I
should declare myself definitely as
to my views on the liquor question.
/ believe that the saloon as it is
conducted today is a state and ma
tdonal Disgrace I further believe
that the persistent and obnoxious in
fiuence of the liquor interests in
jected into our political affairs is
one of the greatest evils the State
of Minnesota has to contend with
The Minneapolis Journal in an edit
lorial some time ago stated that the
Liquor interests would bend every
effort ito get control of the senate
of this state at the next election.
Some of our good friends say, do
not bring the liquor question into
this fight The liquor interests
stand back and say amen. That is
just what they are willing to do
because they dare not come out in
the open and support any candidate.
Favors County Option
cit is therefore clear to me that,
should I Ibe candidate, I would
stand first, last and all the time to
do everything in my power to remedy
the existing evils of the liquor bust
ness, and the strongest argument in
favor of county option is the fact
that the liquor and brewery inter-
ests are against it.
! Therefore l am squarely in favor
of County Option.
"Yours Sincerely,
"a. A. ANDREWS
