WATERFOWL PROTEST
HITS TAYLOR SYSTEM
Arsenal Machinists Ask Massachu-
setts Congressman to Support
Tavenner Bill.

A protest against the Taylor stop
watch system in government arsenals
and other shops has been received by
the Massachusetts members of the
House of Representatives in the form
OF resolutions adopted recently by the
machinists at Watertown arsenal at a
meeting of lodge of the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists. The
Massachusetts, members are asked to
support the Tavenner bill, which pro-
h1bits the system in government work.
The letter to the representatives
reads, in part, as follows:
Our lodge books are open to the
public, and the records show that 95
per cent Of the machinists employed
at the arsenal belong to this lodge
and are opposed to the system. We
therefore come to you. as representa-
tive from this state. and ask you to
support the bill 1t is likely that
others will ask you to defeat it; but
they are few. and will not represent
the body of machinists or any consid-
cradle number of other workers. They
gang bosses and other office help, in
terested in retaining the system chief
ly because it is pecuniarily profitable
to them. But we contend that the
against the interests of the many.
THE conditions are such that~ex-
perienced men are leaving the arsenal
in large numbers. We refer you to
the civil service records for facts in
this connection. Proof that we are not
getting proper management in this ar
senal is found in the fact that we do
not receive the going rate of wages
for skilled machinists that neighbor-
ing plants are paying"

The Pipedream Boy.

"My son. l heard the father
say, the boys are playing ball
today, SO, prithee, cease your
round of toll, your delving in the
fertile soil, desert the onion and
the bean, and join the lads upon
the green. For growing boys
should romp and play, and not
plant squashes all the day" ooh,
father DEAR the boy replied. Il
take more pleasure and more
pride in raising pumpkins which
will wear blue ribbons at the
county fair. than l would take i'll
playing ball. which is but trifliug,
after all. What shall it profit any
youth to make a three-base hit,
forsooth? Let idlers all such
games pursue, and entertain an
idle crew, while I am raising
things to eat, the prune, the nut
meg and the beet, the little early
riser pea, the wiener and the
banyan tree" The father burbled
for a spell, and then he. tottered
to the well, with feeble, slow and
hating tread, and there awhile he
soaked his head.
