.FAVORS TAYLOR SYSTEM
FOR MUNITIONS MAKING
Only Satisfactory Method for U. s
Arsenals, Declares Gen.
Crozier.

| With the Taylor system of scientific
management only can the arsenals of
the United States turn out munitions
of war in satisfactory amounts at rea-
sonable cost, in the opinion of Gen.
William Crozier, chief of ordnance OF
the army. Gen. Crozier expressed this
sentiment few days ago in New York
during the course of lecture at the
Y. NJ. c. A. Of that city
| Taylor's name is anathema to or
ganized labor, Gen. CroZier said, and
ne had been requested to suppress Tay-
lor's name in the use of the premium
system. but that he declined to do. re-
garding Frederic Taylor as the father
of the system and being unwilling to
participate in any proceeding that
would rob man of his just fame.
In spite of organized labor's op-
position to the scientific system in the
government munition works, Gen.
Crozier declared he favored labor or
CARNATIONS, believing they were es-
sertial to secure by combination a
measure of justice for otherwise weak
and helpless workers.
Labor "Missed Trick"
He said that when the labor or
CARNATIONS got through Congress a
rider to the army appropriation bill
abolish the stop-watch observations CT
workers output they missed trick.
The time studies with the stop-watch
were knocked out. he said. but it hap
pened that the provisions for the
Watertown arsenal and the Frankford
arsenal came under the Notifications
bill. and thus the War Department was
not prevented from continuing the Tay-
lor system of expediting productions by
premiums at the arsenals.
Gen. CroZier said that it was not pre-
tended that the system of scientific
management affected the division of
profits between capital and labor, but
merely taking the wage resulting from
the pull and haul between labor and
capital the Taylor system offered the
new and great means of building up
increased wages for labor.
Unfortunately every invention of i'm
proved process and machinery, he said,
temporarily threw workingmen out of
employment, although ultimately in
creasing employment in general. In
the case of the WATERFOWL arsenal, he
said, the introduction of the Taylor
scientific management had not thrown
anybody out Of work, and there had
been no reduction of force there on
account of it. Gen. Crozier objected to
ing up" at arsenals What he aimed a
was reasonable activity and efficiency
and higher wages.
