TEN COMMANDMENTS
FOR MANAGING
From Oregon Voter

Under the caption Of Ten Rules for
Foremen and Others there is pub.
lished an interesting and inspiring out
line for managing men. 1t is IN re-
cent number of Going Some, the
organ of the St. Johns shipyards of
the Grant Smith-Porter Ship Co. The
rules reflect the spirit and, we suspect,
the language of Eric V. Hauser, the
head of the enterprise that in two sue
cessive months secured the honor
awards for wooden shipbuilding from
the Emergency Fleet Corporation in
competition with all other yards of the
entire, country. They are worth read
ing in full:
Be Fair.
Have no favorites and no scapegoats.
A foreman has to act as Judge many
times every day, therefore he must be
just.
2 Make Few Promises and Keep
Them
A foreman must be exact in this
particular. Sometimes foreman for
gets that his job requires high stand.
ard Of truth and honor.
lJOll L w dSlG Angel. Use IL.
Anger is the most valuable thing
and should not be used carelessly
Keep your most forecful language for
special occasions. Before a foreman
can control others successfully he must
control himself.
! Always Hear the Other Side.
| Never blame a worker until he has
! been given a chance to give his point
of view.
5 Don't Hold Spite. Forgive.
i When YOU have had to scold a work
er, 90 to him later, in friendly way
There should always be blue sky anc
sunshine after a storm.
Never Show Discouragement
Never let yourself be beaten.
! foreman must have perseverance, ant
never ay die.
Notice Good Work as Well as Bad
Mingle praise and blame. Let the
workers see that you can appreciate 4:
we'll as condemn.
8 Watch for Aptitudes.
Take keen human interest in YOU
workers. Notice them. Study them
Put each one where he can do best
9 Be an Optimst.
Don't let your worries and troubles
deform you into a pessimist. Inspire
confidence. Put the 'righto!" spirit
into the works Say, Come along
men, all together"
10 Take Full Share of the Blame.
This is the most difficult of all |
is heroic. But the foreman who cal
share both blame and praise with hi
workers will have discovered the Sc
cret of managing his men.

JERSEY BOXING MEN
must OBEY rules
Failure TO DO SO Will Bring
Repetition Of New
York's Experience
GOOD COMMISSION
MOST IMPORTANT

New Jersey promoters Of sports since
the legislation Of boxing In that State,
have indulged in such tremulous pro-
test against a threatened invasion by a
horde OF rapaclous eXploiters Of the
manly art OF self-defense from the
island OF Manhatten and immediate vi
cinity.
Frawley law frightfulness has beeen
painted In vivid colors ana the halo
crowned Jersey sportsmen have sobbed
In convulslye terror over the prospec-
tive ravaglng Of their fair state by the
ruthless promoters OF the Empire COM
mouwealth.
The picture Is a pathetic one, ana
might draw tears from any one entirely
unacquainted with the Jersey promoter
past and present. To possessors OF 'ac-
curate knowledge Of the sporting condi-
tlons In Jersey Il would appear that
those interested In the proper conduct
Of boxing in that State have only one
reason for fear, and that relates to the
internal management OF the game.
The Jersey sportsman, notwithstand-
ing his plalntive appeal for protection
from the corruptlng influence Of New
York promoters. is far from unsophistl-
Gated, and II the boxing game In that
state Is not handled In a straightfor-
ward and satisfactory manner it Will
be due entirely to the performances Of
the difldent persons who now arc beg
glng 10 be saved from the wicked pro-
motars on the New York side Of the
Hudson River.
It would not be amiss for the Jersey
sporting innocents % take a leaf from
the book OF experience Of those who
erred during the existence Of the
Frawley law.
First :. would be the part Of wisdom
for Governor Edge to appoint as COM
missicners men In whose integrity he
has confidence and who can be de-
pended on 10 enforce the Hurley iav
without fear or favor. II that is done II
will be a Ions step In the direction OF
honest conduct Of the sport
Second, II the promoters and mana
gers will obey the rules as laid down
and not attempt 10 evade them by
trickery or sharp practice that will also
have an excellent effect on the future
Of boxing.
Third, II offending boxers. managers
or promoters are punished 70 the limi
Of the prescribed penalties the efiec
will be salutary.
That Is about all that the Jersey com
nissloners, promoters managers and
boxers can do TO keep their boxlni
game clean. II the Jerseymen for bust
ness reasons desire 20 bar out promo
ters from other parts OF the country
that is their privilege. But no amour
of railing at the misdeeds Of New lorl
promoters will tend 70 improve tn
morale Of the New Jersey promoters.
First, let them be sure that no hom
talent Is afflicted with the beam the'
have dlscerned In The eyes OF New York
ers. Then 10 VIII be time 20 point th
anger OF managerial scorn across Oh
waters Of the Hudson.
