Housekeepers generally will be
pleased to learn that the ban on
-four substitutes has been raised
and that whole flour may be pur-
chased without substitutes. We
learn, from persons conversant
with the manufacture of -four,
that millers generally favor the
manufacture of whole flour only
and in preference to patent"
grades, as it is: healthier and less
expensive to manufacture.
And the daily inquiry heard on
every hand, "when is the payment
coming off," receives no definite
response. One of the reported
excuses is that the prevailing in
fuenza has crippled the agency
Office force and this lack of clerical
help causes the delay, etc. Then
Why. does not the Indian bureau
dispatch a special agent, as has
been done on past occasions. and
conduct the annuity payment.
There are many people who are
in sore need of their per capita
share and the payment should be
made before the severe cold
weather sets in. ~ ~

labor TURNOVER
Loss Of EFFICIENCY

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-In speech
in this city Secretary of Labor Wilson
referred to labor turnover as the Gin
dividualistic strike" which brings a
greater loss to the country than all
the collective strikes and lockouts
combined.
prior to the war;" said Secretary
Wilson, ''it was nothing unusual to
find establishments having a 200 or
800 per cent turnover annually, to
find establishments where the move
ment of men from one job to another
was so great that it required the en-
ployment of 200 to 800 workmen to
maintain an organization of 100.
"Since the war there have been
numbers of instances where the turn
over has gone above 1000 per cent,
and in one particular instance it went
to 100 per cent a week for a. period
of eight weeks.
1.-The turnover of labor means a
loss of efficiency. In addition to the
loss that takes place in the time be-
tween the leaving Of one and the COM
ing of the other no man can reach
his highest efficiency in any industry
or on any machine until he has be-
come familiar with his machine, ia
miliar with his shop, with his fore
man, with his shop surroundings gen.
orally and so there is always a loss
of efficiency by virtue of a turnover
of labor.
'The turnover of labor is in reality
the individualistic strike. It is the
strike of individual. either union Or
nonunion man, dissa tisfied with con-
ditions, and either unable or unwilling
to secure the cooperation of his as
sociates in a collective protest.
my observation is that the individ-
ualistic strike-the turnover of labor
brings us greater loss than all OF
the collective strikes and lockouts
that occur in the country and any,
thing we can do to reduce that turn
over of labor will assist in maintain
ing efficiency. It is with the hope of
being able to reduce that turnover to
some extent that we are seeking to
build up an organization by which all
labor will be handled through one
agency"

Pacific Coast Workmen Make
Possible New Speed Record
in Building the Defiance.

CALIFORNIA; labor power has again
shown it's mettle in the remarkable
time made in the building of the Def
ance, the wonder ship of the world"
which was one of four 12,000ton
cargo carriers launched in the Ala
media yards in one day. The Depart
ment Of Labor finds that many records
are going in this war.
1t was just SO days from the time
the keel was started until the vessel
was launched. These 80 days included
Sundays and holidays. The Defiance
was built by the Bethlehem Shipbuild-
ing corporation.
The men have received much praise
for their splendid effort in turning out
the Defiance in so short a time. The
record really SURPRISING the 81 days
required for the building of the Tt-c-

Quired for building, the Defiance than

point signs ready by the time the skip
stop system goes into effect Sept 20.
AS, with few exceptions, INBOUND cars
will stop at the corners skipped by the
outbound cars, it means that prac-

stopping place.
A great deal of time and labor are
required to install these signs and the
company may not be able to complete
the work before the date set for the
new system. However, even if the
signs are not ready, the skip-stop plan
will be put into effect and the public
will have to figure out the stopping
places for few days until the paint.
