glass was made and put in place by
love and faith before Columbus dis
covered America Through the ages
the sun sent through it to the dim

the heavy hearted. Then came hate,

Imagine Laon, sister of ruined Rheims.
Laon Cathedral began Romanesque,
continued Gothic, and cost not less
than S2O,000,0o0. The towers were
rebuilt seuen times. To Judge effect
the old architects did not make p little
blue print. They built a tower, saw
its fault, tore 1t down and built again |!
To help raise money, ten canons OF
Laon Cathedra. and ten burghers of
the town, after having collected all
over France. went into England-and
came back with 120 sacks of gold.
Had not twenty English bishops been
formed at the school of Laon, where
Anselm taught? The work itself

In seeking subsidiary causes which
may correlate with the true cause,
some interesting things were found,
that IL not part Of the true cause are
linked to 1t. These are the appalling
number OF young -old, men among the

Unlike the American custom TO join
cause and effect, as they run closely
together, and not to go looking for

chanic class with n grievance passes
over in silence the conditions which
have made living high and comforts
difficult to procure while luxuries are
forbidden. They ignore the war and
tho disruption of business in the vari-
Gus qualifications 1t has taken since

period antecedent to the entrance OF

Metz Cathedral has not a scratch.
Once-just once-did French and
Americans shell a German church. II
was not a cathedral, but a humble
little country building, all by itself in
a Lorraine valley. 1t was the church
OF Barkirch - famous now for the

about it 1t was a mixed battery
The guns were French 1855 longs.
The gunner in question was an Amer
lean boy-'the master gunner of Bar

story.

the Captain. He came, a young fellow
under 80, with blinking eyes behind
spectacles. He looked worried. The

Yes, a church. But l have reflect

method OF manufacturing throughout
all its branches, and they say:
There are thousands of men laid
on the shelf to-day and tens of thou
sands OF young-old men able to do
only a moiety Of the work they for
mcrly did owing to the false standards
that are kept up by manufacturing
concerns"
Asked to define these charges with
out paraphrase they give this answer:
Go into any of the big factories and
see what is expected of a man nova
days. It's the hell of a pace set by
tho bosses that cripples and ages men
and turns them out finally when they
can no longer keep up, worn out
and useless. Then ask yourself where
the elements on which Bolshevism can
feed are to be found. Make an old man
out OF fellow of %, turn him loose
to hunt for a Job and not get it and
you've made pretty good revolu-
ZIONIST"
over statement is usually to be ex-
pected and it was so here, but when
instances were multiplied of mechanics

many SpSthtTS Oh lut SuDJSCl IL
seemed as we'll to investigate condi-
tons at the factories, or at certain
representative factories, to discover
how much truth, II any, abounded in
these charges.
1t was not difficult at all to find how
matters of this kind were handled in
large repair automobile shop, per-
haps before the war the most extern
sive one in the country. There tho
foreman stated that only young men
were wanted and those of ages from
10 to % did the best and fastest work
I'VE do not insist on a certain piece
of work being done in a specified time
although we have schedule" the
| foreman said. "This we show to our
men to encourage them, and we find
splendid results from the spirit OF
emulation thus awakened"
A glance at the schedule followed as
q matter Of course. 1t was divided
thus:
Time limits on magnetic. SO min
utes; on engines, 40 minutes; on car
bureter, 80 minutes, and on differ
entails. 40 minutes.
1T is a pretty rapid pace" said the
foreman proudly, land a man has tc

keep right at his work to get IT out.
No loafing around this shop. II a new
hand who claims to be expert on mag
neto falls outside this schedule we
slide him along to some easier Job, and
If he can't get that out in time to
still an easier one, and finally we slide
him out. Its devil take the hindmost
hereabouts."
The men were working in a wild
scramble as If the devil We're, in fact,
after them. With rapid and almost
ceaseless motion they were picking up
materials, hammering. thrusting, driv-
ing, and all with motions that seemed
almost the antics of crazy men.
Men Don't Last Long.
How long can they keep this up?"
was the question that involuntarily
uttered itself.
We'll" said the foreman, sit is a
fact that the men don't last long, but
that amt always the fault with the
work or the pace we go at. There's q
good many reasons for a man falling
out. We prefer young men with lots
of stamina and they keep 1t up at least
five years"
rs it always the best work pos
sible?"
You bet 1t is, time or no time" he
replied stoutly, ITS got to pass the
test or back 1t goes on their hands"
"Oh' is the work piece work."
NO all wage. Before the war when
everybody else was paying $3.50 or
perhaps 81 a day we gave the hands So
a day Now we've gone up AZ every
other repair factory has had to and
we are still at the top. The hours are
from TO S, with half an hour for
lunch, and the pay attracts"
Near the gate of this factory was a
group OF men, among them several
who looked to be over so years OF
age. These were said to be old hands
who had quit or had been laid off. One

gines inside for four years and had
then played out. He was 25 years old.

ETTINa the work out" is al
ways the bugbear Of every
manufacturing concern. It

ways DedT every
manufacturing concern. It
is just as much trouble to do it In
modest establishments as in vast en-
terprises. and the foreman of each
often is selected because he is known
to possess driving power.
In these days this trouble has
reached climax. Always to be over
come, 1t now is almost the leading DIFF
hculty in the way OF success, and
without getting work out OF the way
there is neither efficiency nor satisfac-
ton in any plant. For these are the
days when fair minded employer
recognizes that there exists in the air

| for relaxation that the let down after
the prodigious efforts engendered and

But too much stress is laid on this
natural falling off in enthusiasm, say
the employers, and it is offered as an
excuse for every falling, including
| l6Ziness.
~he mechanics. on their side, urge
that employers have been spoiled by
| the sentiment of patriotism which
urged every worker to do his best in
times of stress and are trying by all
sorts of means to keep up this war

/ nounces was pace that kills.
Employers pooh pooh this statement
The prevailing standard OF work in
the minds of the men they depend ON
for getting it out is to give as little as
ne may for his wages. Not one OF his
subordinates will give more work than
the average man can do, and not one
towever emulous and ambitious he
may be individually, will suffer any
fellow workman to exceed the stint
kept down to its lowest notch. The
! minimum work for :he maximum wage
is the ambition of the workingman
employers say.
1t is an old quarrel and a great
many old and tired things may be
uttered in 1t. What the purpose OF a
visit to certain factories was hoped to
bring out is how to define that pace
