| LABOR MEN SCORE
TAYLOR SYSTEM
Tell Machinists' Lodge Scien-
tific Management Scheme
Is Unjust to Them.
CITE SPECIFIC INSTANCES

That the public should be kept fully
advised as to the attitude Of organized
labor with reference to the passage Of
legislation iii the last session OF Con-
gress prohibiting the introduction Of
certain of the so-called systems Of
scientific management in the navy
yards and arsenals Of the country was
the consensus of opinion ct q meeting
Of Columbia. Lodge. No. Ia, Interna
rional Association of Machinists, held
last evening in Naval Lodge Hall.
More than 400 attended and in the
addresses it was pointed out that the
public has been ill-advised on this
question, it having been presented
heretofore largely from the viewpoint
of the employer. All upheld the recent
acts of Congress in curbing through
Legislation the Introduction of drastic
systems of shop management"
THE Taylor system of so-called sci
entific management said n. P. Alifas,
president of District No. "A, Interna-
tional Association of Machinists, which
includes in its membership all the ma
ch1nists in the government service in
the country. was worked out By a Mr..
Taylor of the Midvale Steel Company
at time when C. II. Harrah was presi-
dent of that concern.
Quotes From Harrah's Testimony.
The spirit which prevailed there was
indicated by air. Harrah while testi-
lying before the committee on labor of
the House March !, 1900. when he ex-
planned to the committee the shop prac-
tees of their firm: We had men with
stop watches over workmen working
on an axle lathe. or whatever else it
might be- said Mr.. Harrah, and every,
time man looked up they took his
time; every time he stopped to brea he
they took his time. and in that way
they got absolutely the amount of time
employed in doing a certain amount of
work We made it rule to run a ma
chlne TO break. He also declared If a
lathe, the natural life of which might
pe TWO years, does not break down be-
Tore that l would go for the engineer
m charge, as well as We have abso-
luteiy no regard for machinery or for
men,
This was the sort of atmosphere
under which the TAYLOR system of shop
management was perfected; and this
spirit pervades it throughout, as a
careful study will disclose.
That scheme SO conceived and so
constructed should commend itself to
any government official was naturally
looked upon with alarm by the en-
pioyes upon whom it was about to be
imposed, and they protested most Wig
orously.'

Experience at Rock Island.

Mr. Atlas also pointed out that, in
the first place, the navy yards and ar
senals were already being operated by
the government at considerable saw
ing, and therefore the necessity did not
exist for unduly speeding up the en-
ployes.
For instance" he said, at the Rock
Island arsenal, where it was proposed

management, work was being produced
without the Taylor system according

appropria tons committee of the House
or December IL, 1913. by the chief of
ordnance) for from 25 to 80 per cent
less than private contractors charged.
" ork at the Washington navy yard
was turned out at a saving to the gov
eminent. During the recent hearings
before the Senate naval affairs COM
mittee on the armor plate plant Secre-
tary Daniels testified that a fourteen
inch gun was built at the Washington
navy yard for $4,000. The bid of the
Midvale Steel Company, of Taylor sys-
tenn fame, for the same guns, was s7S,-
600 each.
Under the new and fair accounting
system inaugurated by Secretary Dan
1els. It is being developed that the last
battleship built at the New York navy
yard. the Arizona, was built for far less
than the private bids and even for less
by the navy yard, besides being COM
pleted on time. The alleged excess
costs of government construction is ac-
counted for by the fact that faulty
accounting system was employed I'M
der Secretary Meyers administration.
At that time charges were made
against the cost of the ship that prop
erly belonged elsewhere. Mr.. Meyer
was said to be opposed to government
construction and manufacture and
may. therefore, not have been seriously
concerned about prejudicing govern
ment construction Of battleships in al

referring again to labor's OPPOSE
tfon to the Taylor system. an employer
who is satisfied with a reasonable days
work does not want to keep tab on a
workman's performances with stop

toists aflicted with an abnormal desire

cause some individual should discover

while we all want efficiency, let US

that the average man and woman can

should be measured by its ability TO

fare i'm the Future
TOINSTST ON RULES OF
INTERNATIONAL LAW
President Firm on This Principle as
Applying to Undersea Attacks = No
Report from England Regarding
Plans to Attack Submarines.

WASHINGTON, Feb 29-The latest
formal note from Germany regarding the
future conduct Of the submarine warfare
was before President Wilson and the cab-
net today
Secretary Lansing took to the White
House a pouch understood to contain the
German memorandum and other papc.
relating to the case.
1t was indicated in wel-informed circles
that the President would insist on a strict
Interpretation Of the rules of international
law as applying to Germany's new subma.
rine warfare.
Information forwarded from Berlin, pur-
porting to contain proof that the British
fadmiralty had instructed captains of armed
ships to attack submarines, had not ar
rived, Mr.. Lansing said. The delay was
believed to be due to conditions resulting
from the war.
Cabinet members carefully avoided
questions on whether Germany s posi-
ton as outlined by Count Won Bern,
storff in a note to Secretary Lansing
yesterday was acceptable TO the Ameri
can governmnt. 1t was reiterated
however, that the United States would
| continue to stand firmly upon its posi-
tion that attacks should not be made
on merchantmen unarmed for defensive
purposes and would hold Germany ac
countable if that position is not OBJ
! served.

Capt w. f. Mckay of Boston, the

started to investigate a noise which he
thought might have been made by {

For several weeks the plant, which il
