OBJECTION IL TO
POSSIBLE INCREASED COST

Much Of the criticism OF tho ordi :
nance is directed against Section 10.
which. II is claimed. by clothing the
Mayor with certain powers Of appoint
incnt the exercise OF which might
entail heavy additional expenditures,
might saddle upon the city a subStan-
TALLY larger upkcep cost than is now
contemplated by Juvenile Court work
crs. This section empowers the Mayor,
among other things, to appoint ma
iron or matrons and such other en-
ployceS as may he necessary.
Juvenile-Court workers have assured
the Finance Committee. with whose
approval the ordinance IL before the
Council. that the new court with all
its machinery will not cost more than
$4,000 Il year for the next five years.
The city is now appropria;ing $500
a year for Juvenile court and proba :
ton purposes which Will be embraced
in the new ordinance. Tho new court,
therefore. its friends claim. will in
volve an additio:iu appropriation OF
only $500 year.
The Council will act Tomorrow night
also upon the ordinance fixing a build =
ing line for the south side OF Main
Street. between Linden ana Cherry
Streets. The ordinance has already.
been passed by the Board Of Aldermen
and Will he on the Councils special
docket for concurrence.

FEAR OVER COMPLICATION AND
DELAY IN COMPUTING RETURNS

The preferential ballot is CT com
rarttiNely modern origin, and it's
adoption by the city of Richmond
would represent a radical departure

Of tho opposition to il voiced in the

ever, point to its successful operation

III answer 10 this objection.
one advantage claimed for the pref
ercntial ballot by its friends is that
1t would materially minimize the pre-
orc!Zcd ploycc vote The criti-
cism has been frequently made that in
field OF five or six candidates con-
testing for two offices. il Is possible
for the TWO candidates who receive
the solid support of the so-calIed
regular" vote to win easily, although
neither of the two polls anywhere
near q majority of the total vote cast,
which is split up between INC several
candidates In the field.
Under the preferential system Il

would not be nominated. Since every
voter would be compelled to vote his

the solid shot vote would be mini

open to tie voter who desired TO
throw his strength TO one or two
favored candidates the cxpedicnt OF

ORGANIZING SOUTH

Washington, Feb. 26-In reporting
on efforts to organize the mill workers
at Knoxville, Tenn, an American Fed
Grafton of Labor organizer writes to
Secretary Morrison:
"The employees of the Appalachian
mill are trying to organize. They re-
ceived their charter last Wednesday,
and IN that length of time the COM
pany has discharged. over fifty peo-
pie. The president Of the organiza-
|tion and his five children were dis
charged. He earned $1.10 per day.
Not any of the children earned over
go cents a day. The father called on
me today and told me that they had
not anything to eat. He paid his
grocery bill Saturday. 1850, all the
money he had. This morning they
refused to give him any groceries.

(Wm. J. Foster in The Timber
worker.)
Perhaps the thing that strikes the
visitor most at the Ford Motor Com
pany plant is the immensely Of 1t all.
Not to mention the other hugh de-
partments, the machine shop alone
covers ten acres, all in one open
room. In this vast room. there are
thousands of machines of infinite
character. They are. manned by a
veritable army of workers. who, to
save space, are often huddled SO
close that they can hardly move from
their work places. AT, present, as
business is somewhat slack. there are
but $4,000 workers employed. They
turn out TOO autos daily. The ca
pacity Of the plant is 1900 pei :
AS the Ford company does not
ufacture the bodies, lamps,
forgings and various other ps
the autos. there are probably /;
Is, 900 workers in outside Fl.
directly engaged in producing Foro
cars. -
/ Another striking feature Of the
Ford plant is the speed Of the work
ers. This is perhaps most noticeable
In the assembling of the automobiles,
though a similar haste lis everywhere
evident. A skeleton frame is laid
upon a sort of skid; conveyor chain
grips 1t, and, as it slides along, the
various parts are added by the work
ers. Each worker has some little
thing to add or, do, which he, does
walking beside the ever growing
ever-moving car. There is no let-up
whatever to the process. When the
worker has put on his wheel, set ON
the gasoline tank. frightened nut,
or finished whatever his simple task
thing to the next oncoming' car. From,
the starting point 1t takes a car but
fifteen minutes until lit runs out Of
the building under its own. power.
The record time for assembling an
auto is eleven minutes. At the Ford
plant they will build you an auto
while you wait.
j The system at the Ford plant is
also a thing to marvel at. 1t is
native Ford product and is hardly
excelled by the Taylor system.
Though this system is everywhere
evident it seems most striking in the
handling Of materials. All through
the plant the raw and finished ma
