German steamship lines were prepar- ing to resume sailing by the end of the year.

THE HIGH COST OF
 DlSCHARGlNG EMPLOYES

Hiring and firing" all large em- plOyers of labor now recognize, forms the greatest leakage in modern busi- ness. In many establishments the men who do the employing have come to be known as the fortune -tellers." IL is the one place in which everything is haphazard. MT Magnus w. Alexan- der one of the engineers of the General Electric company, has demonstrated this great waste mathematicaily. Talk
 ing the employment statistics of twelve metal factories, located in six states, he has found that these places en- ployed 37,274 persons at the beginning of the year, and 43,97l at the end. Their normal increase in employees, therefore,

was 6,697. Had matters worked effic- iently. these factories should have em- ployed only 6,697 men-or slightly more, making due allowance for death, sickness, and other natural causes of dismissal. In reality, these factories had hired 45,571 new people. We must ponder these figures carefully to get their full significance.
 In order to obtain 5000 new em- ployes, these establishments, all rep resentative and efficient" American concerns, had to employ 45,000, Out Of seven men taken on, only one stayed After making liberal deductions, MT Alexander calculates that these twelve factories employed 24,500 men and women whom they were unable to re tain. Each person represented an ex- pense ranging from $50 to s200. The companies had to keep a clerical force to hire these people and place their
 names on the payroll. They had t6
