Fifth, introducing a severe sys-
tenn Of discipline. This is abso-
lutely necessary, due to then in
tricate nature Of the Taylor sys-
tenn in order to make sure that
every workman performs his part
of the task in schedule time in
order that collisions of plans and
procedure Of work may not take
place.
Sixth, Taylor system advocates
believe that their system will en-
able them to so change the nature
and conditions Of work as to be
able to break up a trade at any
time, thus making solidarity and
unity Of action for workmen i'm
possible, due to taking. away their
sense Of common interests.
Seventh, each workman under
the Taylor system will have his
task and pay regulated that the

workman in the United States, if
this system goes into effect gen
orally, can. expect the Manu-
facturers' Association and other
employers associ iations to have
on file complete analysis Of his
value as an industrial worker.
With this knowledge in the
possession Of the Manufactures
Association, and with the power
Of selection which comes from it,
the American workman will be
absolutely at the mercy Of the
employer and will have become
enmeshed in an industrial scheme
from which it will be difficult, if
not impossible, to extract himself.
Advocates Of the Taylor system
acknowledged in a hearing be-
fore the Committee of Labor Of
the House Of Representatives that
the Taylor system was built up
in accordance with the law Of
"the survival Of the fittest, and
they expected to operate it in ac-
cordance with the law of supply
and demand. = 81. !. s.'. f.fs. {. /.

The American workman may be

called "scientific slavery" We,
as laboring people, loathe the
term "slayery,'' - but if a despotic
and autocratic system of shop

work shops all over the United
States there will be absolutely no
liberty left.
So-called ''scientific manage

contemplates the analizing and
classifying Of everything that re-

such as his general health, his
eyesight, his hearing, his reli igion,
his politics, his home environ

personal matters that the self-re-

with clause to be presented by
Congressman Tavenner Of Illinois,
as an amendment to the Fortifi-
cation bill when it comes before
the House. It was expected that
this bill was to be considered be-
ginning April 26th, but owing to
other legislation intervening it
may not come up until about May
Is. The fortification appropria-

Tavenner is similar: to. one in

far as it went. The provisions Of
the clause are substantially the
