Says Ida M. Tarbell to In
dustrial Commission of
Working Conditions
."UNLESS HE
is CARED FOR
Employers Cannot Expect to
Make Their Business
Successful

New York, Jan. 20.-Scientific manage
ment is silent revolution aiding dl
workmen, in the opinion of Ida NJ. Tar
bell, original muekraker. She so testified
yesterday before the federal commission
on industrial relations. Several of the
commissioners took exception.
Commissioner Garretson heckled Miss
Tarbell somewhat severely, but she held
her own we'll in the face of series OF
questions destined to show that the
plan, instead of making for industrial
democracy and better relations between
employer and employed, really created
individual despotism that threatened the
annihilation of the entire labor move
ment.
you say there is silent revolution
going on in business ?" asked Chairman
Walsh. "Tell us just what you men,"
Business is to-day finding out that
the common man is the great thing in
this world" she answered, ITO give him
justice and opportunity is now the idea
of many employers of labor. The per-
sonal equation and the individual man
is now the big subject confronting en-
ployers. | believe there are in this coun-
try to-day more employers than ever
before who realize that unless the com
mon man is properly cared for, they
themselves cannot hope to make their
affairs properly successful"
Miss Tarbell explained at great length
the investigation she has completed re-
Gently as to scientific management.
Wherever the question of scientific
management has been worked out hon
estly and definitely she stated, sit has
benefited the worker. But there has
been great deal of taking in this re-
gard. 1t is because of this taking that
labor has complained of scientific man
agement which had for its object only
speeding up. When scientific manage
ment is rightly in force it makes for col
lective action between capital and labor

Auto in Water Department Money
Saver.

Coinciding in nearly every detail with
the report of the departmental superin-
tendent is the report of the aldermsnic
water committee. In 1914, the report
states, an adequate supply of water was
furnished without the necessity Of resort
ing to the pumps. Under the heading,
Unforeseen expenses" appears the low
ering of 200 to 800 feet of main line
pipe because of the regarding along the
East Barre road. Valves installed at the
reducing chambers have stopped undue
waste of water. Superintendent Rey-
nolds' recommendations referring to
change in the departments financing sys-
TEN, as noted last week, is echoed by
the committee Mr. Reynolds services
are warmly commended and the tone of
the report, on whole, is quite optimis-
tic.
Referring to the well known auto
truck, this tone is consistently main
tanned in the following words; TN the
early spring we bought for the depart
ment Ford auto, which has proven
success far beyond our expectations TO
Illustrate this fact: The superintendent
states that when working on the main
line above East Barre the truck saved in
time on the men and horse hire from 50
to S. per day; also the purchase price
and total running expenses were only
$3.50 more than was paid for team and
auto hire in the year previous. We feel
bat il would be for the best interests of
.he department to dispose OF the team,
md TO hire when a team is required, as
he cost Of keeping team is increasing
yearly."

NO SHORTAGE OF FOOD
STuFFSuKELYSAYS
U.S.. DEPT. AGRI.

Washington, Feb. % The Department
of Agriculture No. II, issued the follow
ing statement:
The 1914 wheat crop OF the United
States was estimated to be s9l OF, 600
bushels. Teh estimated surplus carried
over from the 1913 crop was about 500
900 bushels. There was therefore, to-
tai available supply of $500 coo bushels.
AS the normal annual per capita con-
sumption Of wheat in the United States
is about 55.3 bushels, 520.00l00o bushels
should meet our normal domestic require
ments for food: in addition. 5000 go
bushels are required annually for seed
ing. Six hundred ten million bushels.
therefore. should supply the normal do
mestic demand. This would leave a sur
plus Of 357 10000 bushels. OF this surplus
about 218, 900 bushels were exported by
January 30. This left 100000 bushels.
or 100000 bushels more than our aver
age annual export for the past five years,
for export between February l and the
appearance Of the new crop. or for car
rying over into the next crop year. The
amount is sufficient to permit the export
Of nearly 1900, 600 bushels a day until
July 1, before which time the new crop
will begin. to be available. This is about
the average recent expectation.
The large demand for our wheat arises
from the fact that there was an estimated
worlds shortage Of over 40o.vUo,0oo bush
els outside Of the United States; from the

If We Were Prepared for War?

Today America should ask herself
one question: II the United States
were prepared with a powerful and
prepared navy, and great and
equipped army would our protests 20
Great Britain and Germany be as
ccnciliatory and patient as they have
been up to this time?"
How many American citizens are
today thanking God that we are I'M
prepared for war; that we have little
to inspire a war spirit. or to crea.e
war enthusiasm?
Hon. John D. Long, former secre-
tary of the navy, has written a not
able letter to the secretary of the
American League to limit ornaments,
as follows:
Il see no objection to Congressional
investigation of our resources and
preparedness in that respect and Of L
report in due season with reference
thereto. But We must not let the
European situation throw US into d
panic. So far from its operating as
a stimulus or warning to US i'm
mediately and abnormally to increase
our war forces and armament, the
argument, it seems to me, runs the
other way. All the nations whose
antagonism would be Threatening TO
should arise. will come out of the
present CONFUSION exhausted and
bankrupt and with a pretty keen ap-
probation that years of peace are
vital to their recuperation.
Then. too. if We were now at once
to put ourselves on the partly en-
larged war footing so urgently advo-
Gated at present, our equipment would
probably be Anticipated and not up to
inventive advances before any emer-
gency called for its use against a
world power. ! am in favor of a rea
sonable, normal increase of our navy
for coast defenses and international
police duty. and of maintaining, in
ships and men. our continued rate OF
military preparation, but at presen:
it seems enough to keep to that pro-
gram without getting into a panic.
OF course. it is true, as claimed,
that If any chance of war with bet
ter prepared nation should arise. our
comparatively modest, but by no
means inefficient. preparation nigh.
not permit US to resort offhand to tn,
immediate arbitrament OF arms. But,
after all. would that really be a sor-
row. and might it not lead to some
other means Of adjustment that would
be less bloody and costly? Would
the Kaiser, who by a turn Of the fin
ger could have prevented the present
CHASTITY horror of mutilation and
death. have deliberately inaugurated
it If his war preparation had been no
greater than our own? And would
not Germany, with its splendid peo-
pie. have been all these later years as
well. if not better, off commercially,
industrially and socially. and in every
other good thing true to modern
civilization? If my memory serves
me right, there is a prayer which con-
tains the words. Lead US not into
temptation
