Two Men, Four Machines Increase
Push Rod Production BY $500, 900

Before the installation Of this
equipment each push rod was labor

ing and polishing Of 900 to 200 push
rods was then considered big days
work for these two men. This pro-
duct, besides requiring more time,
was not to be compared with the
present output for finish and
accuracy.
To this additional production can
be added the yearly saving OF thou.

motor and in their place we find two
|V-type fan pulleys and a continuous
V-type belt on the outside OF the
motor performing the same work.
By making this change, several i'm
provements in operation were effect
ed. First, all noise was eliminated,
Then, too, the weight of the parts
concerned was reduced considerably.
Last, but not least, by transferring
this driving mechanism from the in
side to the outside of the Cole Eight
engine, quite contribution was made
to the accessibility of the motor.

For this increased traffic, for

who suddenly have had it impressed

that this industry cannot be raised to
anything like efficiency without an i'm

in this matter and a donation was
also voted toward the fund to de
fray expense thereof
1t was reported at this meeting
that the manager of the McCrory
and 10 cent store said that no one
holding a union card could longer
work at this store and that several
of those holding cards walked out.
1t was then decided to publish the
fact that this store is unfair to or

Trained from doing so, trying and
doing all they could to persuade
Mr.. Malone to live up to the
agreement but to no avail The
union then ordered the card re-
moved. In the Labor Day parade
the clerks carried a banner which
read that the McCrory stores are
Unfair.
The day following at quitting
time Mr. Malone lined up the EN-
ployes telling the union clerks to
stand or one side Of the room and
the ron union on the other side.
He then addressed the union girls
and in few words told them what
he thought Of organized labor,
which isn't very much He said
that the unions are a low down
ounch, that whether they make s.
or $40 they spend it and that they
are no good generally He also
said that the unions had tried to
bluff him before and that he always
fought them and don intend % let
them bluff him here. He also said
that no one in his employ in the
future could hold a card and work
Three of the girls then walked cut
leaving two girls and the assistant
manager, who were members of the
union, still at work
The assistant manager is quoted
as saying that be had been instruct
ed to see that any one belonging
TO the union tear up their card in
his presence before being allowed
TO go 10 work. Whether the girls
who remained on the job did this
or not is not known at this time

The McCrory 5 and 10 cent store
in this city have been placed on the
unfair list by the Retail Clerks
Union. 1t seems that some time
ago an employ was discharged and
all the clerks walked out in protest
of the managers action. All OF
them joined the Retail Clerks Un.
ion and refused TO return to work
until the discharged employe was
reinstated and the uuion recognized
The manager at that time agreed
to this and signed contract with
the union agreeing that all those
taking positions at these stores
would join the union Within thirty
days after their employment
Shortly after the signing of this
agreement there was a change OF
managers, Mr.. Malone who is the
present manager coming on. II
soon became apparent that Mr.. Ma
hone didn think much Of union
labor. The girls belonging to the
organization were being let out one
after the other and replaced by
non-union girls until all but six Of
the union clerks had been let out.
In the meantime the Retail
Clerks Union protested time and
again to Mr Malone who always
made some excuse for the discharge
OF these girls But when asked
why he failed to insist on the clerks
employed joining the union he said
he didn't propose to let any union
tell him what to do. He was re
minded that there was an agree
ment to that effect but he emily
said that the former manager had
no authority to sign any agreement
and that as fas as he was concerned
the clerks could remove their card
whenever they saw fit, The clerks

the unfair list, and that's what It
