The higher the cost the more money the
contractor made. That Is the reason
the cost was so great.
Increased wages
They increased peoples' wages with
out their asking them 10 be increa sed
In many cases much TO the surprise OF
the workers themselves. The big plants
1T Nitro were constructed within the
very shadows of the state capItal Car
loads OF material were burned and half
of the men employed were working on
the same Job. In other words they had
two men for each position. Girls who
were employed 1T Charleston at S76

They often did rN< work more than an
hour or two q week. Many Of the mon

DO you wonder at It costing us
eighteen billion dollars? 1t is II wonder
II was not more.
some Rolling Pins
THE girls employed at Nitro formed
a domestic science class and they
wanted some rolling pins. One OF th'
girls went to = foreman and told MN
they would like 10 have the pins. she
did not mention the number desired. TIA
foreman placed an order for 5000 pins.
Another instance OF efficiency. \
carpenter who applied for work was put
on the pay roll. They had nothing Tor
simply TO walk around. He walked
around all morning and noticed a man
following him when no went to eat his
lunch the man sat down with MIN. NJ,
ter luncheon he continued his walk and
always found the same man Following
him. Finally he turned and asked him
who ne was. The$hlan replied Why |

There Is no district in the United States
