To be exacting in the demands made
upon employees is to advance their own
interests as well as that of the house
itself. No greater injustice can be
worked upon force of operatives in
any avocation than federation of care
lessness and indifference. Not only
does it stand as handicap against
the development OF efficiency and APP
