Now that so much is being sad
about "giving labor a larger share in
earnings" many are wondering what
the tendency to maintain or raise
wages while reducing hours is going
to do to the cost of living, says the
New York Evening Post. 1t is as
sumed that all increase of labor cost
is automatically passed on to the con
sumner, and that workmen are only
deceiving themselves if they expect
to profit by it, But, as Prof. j. Lau-
renee Laughlin points out in his book.
money and Prices" the relation be-
tween wages and prices depends prin-
cipally on the efficiency of labor or
of management.
Prof. John R. Commons argues in
industrial Goodwill what HoXie had
demonstrated before him, that "scien-
tific management" under the Taylor
system has failed to live Up to its
promise, largely because it has been
imposed from above. Time and mo-
ton studies are forbidden by most of
the strong unions, and even where
they are practiced with unorganized
labor they arouse furtive antagonism,
which often defeats their purpose.
Labor has the power to cancel the i'm
menSe possibilities Of scientific man.
agement-but it also has the power
to further them. Improvements OF
this nature are dependent on good
will A noted printing establishment
in Massachusetts introduced efficiency
methods under joint supervision with
shon committees. These committees,
with their intimate knowledge of the
workman's mind, safeguarded the EN-
ployeeS against the kind of speeding
up" the profits of which go chiefly in
to the owners pocket. The proceeds
of superior methods were equitably di-
vided. AS a result, the delegates from
this plant to the national convention
of their union favored abOlishing the
tan against the Taylor system. Here
is an almost unlimited stimulus for
higher productivity, which remains to
be put in play.
Few laymen realize the great differ
ences in efficiency between the leaders
in an industry and the stragglers who
barely meet expenses. TOO often 1t is
the weakest plant which determines
the wage level When a manufactur-
er is called upon to raise wages he
frequently asks how he can compete
with the cheap labor" in some other
section or in some other country Nine
times out of ten the cheapness of the
labor elsewhere is more than Cancelled
by its comparatively low efficiency
We read for instance, of employees
in Japan working u and IA hours a
day for a few cents. Yet the habit
Of the japanese laborer is to work
in grOups-several men being required
for a process ordinarily handled by
one American-to prefer smaller and
less productive machines, and to take
recesses every few minutes for tea
and conversation.
