BROAD POWERS
FOR EMPLOYEES
New York Department Store
Grants It's Workers a
Constitution"
HAVE VOICE IN MANAGEMENT
Scheme Is Modelled After the Govern
mental System Of the United States
Fixing Of Wage Scales and Work
Ing Conditions Part of Duties.

The Republican form of government
for employees, introduced in certain
indusWal plants throughout the cOun-
try, has been adopted by a large New
York department store.
Employees of this store, numbering
LOO have voice In virtually all mat
tiers affecting their relations with the
management, through elective bodies
modelled after the bicameraI system
of representation prevailing in the
government of the United States.
The employees elect members of
their house of representatives and
senate directly, while the executive
department, consisting of cabinet of
five, Is named by the corporation Off
Gals. The judiciary functions are car
ried out by joint justice committee
from the legislative bodies. All
branches of the store government de-
rive their powers from a constitution
somewhat similar to the Constitution
of the nation.
The fixing of wage scales and work
ing conditions are included in the
broad powers of the house and senate,
while the justice committee may bring
about the expulsion Of an employee
from the concern, or If it finds a work
er has been unjustly discharged it can
have him reinstated. The acts of the
legislature may be vetoed by the cab
met, but this has not been necessary
as yet, it was said by officials of the
concern.
Improvement of the service render
ed by the store to it's customers is the
aim of much of the legislation enacted
by the workers, but the lettering Of
the morale of the force of employees
also brings many bills to the floor of
the house and senate, which convene
one day each week.
