Interviews and
Consideration

1.-The fifth distinct idea of the
Baltimore plan concerns itself with
the technique of receiving and inter-
viewing soldier applicants for work.
Here the recipe calls for the use Of
endless common sense, tact, patience
and personal consideration for the
individual veteran.
eve start being considerate to
the soldier before he gets inside our
gates. Every morning, when men
line up outside seeking work, man
is sent out to put soldiers at the
head of the line. These soldiers are
admitted first, and civilian appli-
cants are not considered until all
soldiers have been seen. We do this
because we realize the soldier is
justified in feeling that he should
be given some little preference in
crowd of miscellaneous applicants.
''Inside the gate, we interview
each soldier, in private if possible
We consider this necessary, even if
the soldier is former employee, and
particularly if he is not. For we
find the returning soldier very sem
sitive. He hates to voice his need
for work before other people. Pri-
vately he will say to my face, I've
got to have work Publicly he will
only say, What have you got?' OF
course, private interview also
means a much better chance of
fitting the soldier into the place he
is best suited for.
After a soldier is hired we per-
sonalIy take him to his place in the
yard, introduce him to his foreman
and fellow workers, and do every
thing possible to start him off in a
mood likely to produce harmony,
efficiency and cooperation in his de-
partnent. We want him to have
friends in the plant the first day
and be one Of US. Once the soldier
IS working we keep in touch with
him and arrange for him to see US
at certain intervals.
"The last principle of the Balt-
more plan concerns the means used
to avoid discharging civilians to find
Jobs for soldiers. 1t is our expert
ence that with thriving business con-
ditions and no obligation to hire
transient veterans from other con.
munities, careful study of labor
turnover in any plant or community
will enable employers to place every
returned soldier without displacing
civilians. "

The plan, which has had six
snonths' trial, may be adopted by
the government for national appli-
cation to the problem Of the de-
modified soldier, sailor and marine.
Colonel Arthur Woods, former po-
lice commissioner of New York City,
now working with the Federal en-
ployment service to place discharged
veterans, thinks so highly of the
plan that he recently went to Balti-
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-05-18

N the day the armistice was
declared, the employment
~ manager of a large Balti-
more shipyard inserted
curious advertisement in the
Baltimore papers. To the ordi-
nary business man, drunk with joy
over the news from Europe, it
looked like the work of a crazy man
celebrating the armistice. With the
German surrender clearly foreshad-
owing the possibility of an acute
unemployment problem owing to
the rehabilitation of the American
army, the Baltimore Drydock and
Shipbuilding Company began spend
ing several thousand dollars adver-
Using for returning soldiers, sailors
and marines from Maryland-for-
mer employees and others-to come
and work in its plant!
That was the beginning of what
has become known as the "Balti-
more Plan" Briefly, it is a "horse
sense" scheme to return the dis
charged veteran to civil life in the
shortest possible time and with a
minimum of disturbance, present
and potential, to the machinery of
industry. AS matter Of fact, the
--plan implies much more. 1t calls
for a man in every large industrial
plant, who may be technically called
an employment manager" to link
labor and industry. He will do this
through seeking the best interests
of both, without unjustly favoring
either, by using common sense, tact,
patience and consideration for labor
as human commodity.
Here are some of the apparent
merits of the Baltimore plan:
First, it benefits the veteran by
quickly reemploying him. 1t aims
not merely to give him job, but
to inoculate him against Bolshevism
and leave him full of enthusiasm
for advancement. 1t means no I'M
employed soldiers, no soup lines
Second. to the employer it means
increased labor and factory efficien-
cy-profits. 1t cuts down labor
turnover. 1t builds up a body of
workmen whose loyalty will insure
the plant against future scarcity of
skilled labor, which is already
threatening.
Third, it insures the nation
against Bolshevism. 1t avoids the
critical unemployment problem usu-
ally coincident with rehabilitation.
1t tends to stabilize labor on basis
of inestimable value at time when
the country faces a period Of recon-
struction.

FORTY BIG LEAGUE STARS
NOW PLAYING IN CIRCUITS

Twenty one former members of
the Giants and l players once with
the Yankees are still drawing salaries
from other clubs in the major leagues
Yet the pennant chances of the local
teams led by John McGraw and Mill
er Higgins seem much brighter than
at this time year ago. Of the former
Giants who remain in the National
league McGraw might be glad to re-
gain Heinie Groh and Eddie Roush of
the Cincinnati Reds although Roush
probably would be compelled to sit on
the bench as long as Burns, Kauff
and Young were able to cover their
positions
The Reds also are carrying Bill
Rariden, Slim Sallee and Jimmy Smith
who were with the Giants last year
and have not been missed. Eddie

released to the Phillies two weeks ago
before the ii player limit was increas-
ed to %. The Phillies also have
Catcher Adams and Pitcher George
Smith, who was traded by McGraw for
Pitcher Joe Oescheger the other day
The Giants are represented at
Braves field, Boston, by Hank Gowdy,
Dick Rudolph, Charley Herzog Wal
ter Hoke A TT Wilson and Al De-
maree none of whom McGraw would
care to take back. The roster of the
St. Louis Cardinals includes Red
Ames, who pitched great ball for the
Giants many years ago; Milton Stock,
who once was tried unsuccessfully by
McGraw, and Eugene Paulette, a
first baseman, who was a diamond in
the roueh when the New York Ma
tional f4gue club took him out of the
minors.

Robinson, who formerly was the

of the greatest left handed p itchers
that McGraw ever handled, and
Catcher Ernest kfIeger who was
tried by the Yankees before the Gil
ants signed him as an experiment two
years ago. Fred Merkle. who played

BREAKS I'M VARIETY OF STOCKS

New York, June 11.-More consider
alton was paid today to the money sit

change. Rates for call loans were
again elevated to 8 per cent following
a similar rise yesterday for aCcomrno-
dations on industrial collateral The
increased prominence given to the cur
rent active speculation in connection
with the warnings emanating from the
federal reserve board as to the danger
of overspeculation, together with the
fact that the money market will still
be called upon to supply considerable
funds for government purposes, has
brought about a decided modification
of the bullish sentiment which was so
rampant for so many weeks among
outside spectators.
Lacking the force of this public buy
ing, and with pool opera lions necessa-
rily largely curtailed in view of the at
titude of banking interests who are not
entirely in sympathy with the opera
tons of some of the active big specu-
lative combinations, the markets tech
nical condition was ripe for further
decline. This occurred in the early
hours, when breaks from three to six
