How VanderIip Treats His
EMPLOYEES.

Frank Vanderlp tells in the January
American Magazine the things he con-
siders necessary in the making Of
faithful and happy employee. As
President of the National City Bank OF
New York he employs many men and
women, and so he say:
II you will let me speak imperson-
ally, would say, first Pay enough.
Unless men and women are paid
enough to live on with reasonable COM
fort they cannot give the best that is
in them or enjoy their work as they
ought Without this foundation OF
good pay, you cannot, by any amount
of welfare or other benevolently in
tended activities, build satisfactory
structure.
Then give employees all the re-
sponsibility they will take. Get them
70 feel that they are as real a part of
the organization as the President or
any other officer and that they, in
their own sphere, carry their share of
theresponsibiIty for the organizations
policy and its reputation.
"Of course, every member OF a
force has to be treated fairly and must
be made to realize that he or she can
depend always and under all circum-
stances upon receiving this fair treat
ment.
Employees should be given the
fullest credit for anything meritorious
they do. 1t is mistake for the Off
GERS OF any concern to withhold from
anyone lower down deserved credit
for good ideas or suggestions or initia-
tive.

CHANGES In
DRAFT LAW
Young Men Who Reach Fl
Will Have To
Register.

AT the request Of the war depart
ment, Chairman Chamberlain, Of the
senate military committee, has intro
duced bills for the registration for
military duty Of all men who have
become 81 since June 5 last year
when the draft law went into effect;
providing furloughs for National
Army men for harvesting crops and
other agricultural duty and putting
the quota Of States on basis Of avail
able men in the first class instead Of
population.
The respective bills will probably
add 700, OoO men yearly to the draft
available, exclude entirely enemy
aliens from the basis of state quotas,
thus making the system more equita-
BILE and thus provide men for harvest
time and other agricultural work vital
to the food supply.
Another bill would prove a dis
tinctive badge or button for exempt
ed men.
The war department. in consider
ing the registration bill, rejected any
plan to raise the draft age limits to
more than thirty-one years.
