SENATE REJECTS
SPEEDING SCHEME
No Stop Watches in Army and
Navy Factories
Senators Refuse to Concur in Favora-
Bile Committee Report by Deci-
sive Vote Of IS to Is

Last Tuesday the Senate, BY vote
OF 80 to 10, refused 20 concur in the
recommendation OF its committee on
military affairs that an auti-stop watch
section be stricken from the army ap-
preparation bill Advocates Of the Tay-
lor system in government factories have
suffered continual reverses, altho sup
ported by General Crozier, chief Of ord
nance United States army. the National
Association OF Manufactursrs and the
usual long list of other auti-union in
fluences that have been repeatedly de-
feated by organized labor
Senator Weeks Of Massachusetts, led
the fight for the con uittec's report to
favor stop-watch methods. He assured
his colleagues that the stop watch Is
only used to time what a man is doing
in a particular movement to try to de-
termine how long it should take an aver
age man to do that particular piece OF
work"
Against this sugar aT-coated defense, op-
ponents of the stop watch, led by SEN
ators MARITIME of New Jersey and Reed
of Missouri. submitted the testimony of
impartial investigators bat the Taylor
system is not organized efficiency, but
is intended to secure the last ounce of
energy from working men and women.
Senator Reed declared that, as class,
the majority Of so-called efficiency eS-
perts are fakirs. He said:
you place one OF those inexperienced
fakirs in a great factory where hun
dreds of American citizens are employed,
and Mr.. Fakir, who never put hand on
a lathe. who could not assemble mon
key wrench, proceeds to say how long
and how short time piece OF work
shall be done in. II he makes an unjust
decision. every man in the plant suffers;
but il he is really an expert, according
to the Taylor idea, he works out
scheme in which every man is worked
at the highest tension OF muscle and
nerve and brain"
Opponnts OF the system presented an
ANALYSIS of this theory by Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts. which states;
Now, to put the stop watch on hu-
man beings may tell how fast they can
work. but it can tell nothing of the
quality of their work. Nor how long
they NAV work. \ horse may be very
good for a short spurt and absolutely
worthless for a four mile race. 1t is a
poor test. 1t is a promoter Of the idea
that the one thing 20 do is to turn out
Just as much as we can just as fast as
we can. That has gone thru everything
in this period of ours. 1t has deterio-
rated style it has dcterioated literature,
it has deteriorated art 1t is deteriorat-
ing manufacture.

DIR. Sauer. a well-known Specialist who

of fact, real and true strength can only
come from the food you eat. But peo-
pie often fail to get the strength out
of their flood because they haven't
enough iron in their blood to enable
Ii TO change food into living matter.
From their weakened, nervous condi-
ton they know something is wrong
but they can't tell what, SO they gener-
ally commence doctoring for stomach,
liver or kidney trouble or symptoms
of some other ailment caused by the
lack OF iron in the blood. This thing
may go on for years. while the patient
suffers untold agony. If you are not
strong or we'll, you owe Ii to yourself
TO make the following test: See how
long You can work or how far you can
walk without becoming tired. Next
take two five-grain tablets Of ordinary
nuxated iron three times per day after
meals for two weeks. Then test your
strength again and see for yourself
how much you have gained. I have
