Representative Browne Attacks Fea.
ture Inserted in Naval Ap-
preparation Bill.

Representative Browne of Wisconsin.
who wrote the House labor committee
minority report on the Tavenner anti
stop watch bill. yesterday led lively
but losing fight against the antistop-
watch feature which had been inserted
in the naval appropriation bill in COM
mittee. The vote against Representa-
tive Brownies amendment to strike out
was 100 to "A, but during the half hour
debate he received the support of sew
eral democratic leaders, notably Rep
resentative Sherley of Kentucky, chair
man of the subcommittee which framed
the Notifications appropriation bill
Representative Brownies amend

from the labor group of Congress. as it
has been the contention of labor lead

tary Daniels advisory board. assert the
Tavenner bill is based on fallacy.

ITO determine the cost of any article
there are three elements which must be
determined. First, there is labor; then
material. then the overhead or managing
charges. The greatest of the three is labor.
The greatest scientific experts on efficiency
hold that the only way to find out what
an article costs is in some way to find
out how much labor and how long it
takes that labor to accomplish that task
and see how long it takes him to do the
work. they make this time study by use
of a stop watch"
