tenn. A great many efficiency engineers
declare that the use OF the stop watch
on human being does not make Ior
efficiency, but, on the contrary, makes
for inefficiency, that it destroys the
human machine.
Now. my friend the gentleman from
Ohio Mr.. Gordon1 has referred to the
cloak makers of Cleveland. He has IN
vestigated their condition, he says, but
| wonder if he knows that the men
who used to work in the cloak indus
try in Cleveland attempted to form
unions and were driven out by the ad-
vocates of the stop-watch system and
their places taken by women?
Mr.. Gordon. l do not, and 1t is not
true.
Mr.. Heating 1t is, and if the gentle
man will investigate it he will ascer-
tain those facts.
Mr.. Gordon. But I know better.
Mr.. Browne. Will the gentleman
yield for question?
| Mr.. Heating. No: I have not the
time. The gentleman from Massachu-
sets offered an amendment providing
| that If the employees in the arsena
shall petition for the stop watch ant
premium and bonus systems they shall
be granted. l am opposed to that prop
osition being tackled onto this amend
ment, and l will tell you why.
In January, 1915, when we attached
the antistop-watch riders to the army
and navy bills General Crozier wired
to the commandment of the Frankfort
arsenal and told him to suspend thu
payment of all premiums and bonuses
| That was almost six months before thu
law took effect, and before it had beer
passed by the senate of the United
States.
1t has been testified to on the foo
of this house by distinguished mem
Der of this body that the foremen il
that arsenal went to women who hat
been getting s1.45 and $1.75 day un
der the premium system by exertin,
themselves to the>limit of human en-
deayor and told them that if thes
riders became law their salaries woult
be cut to $1.16 day And" said tn
foreman, you will have to turn gu
just as much as you did when you wer
pdld 9l.0U or 91.i5 DAY.
II was under that kind of pressur
that the employees of the arsenal sen
to congress the protest that the gentle
man from Pennsylvania has read here
After the antistop-watch rider had be
come law this same General Crozie
boosted before the labor committee tina
!, he had discovered a scheme by whic
he could nullify the evident intent O
: congress. If you adopt the amendmen
offered by the gentleman from Massa
chusetts, General Crozier will put tn
, screws to every employe in every arse
, nal under his jurisdiction and fore
them to sign petitions asking for tn
installation of the stop-watch system

It is claimed that the United States
Is crippled in the matter of machine
gun supply for its army because the
allies engaged in the European war
control by contract the output OF the
American factories. With Congress

ton could not exist.
