HONEST PAY FOR HONEST EFFORTS

In Mondays edition OF the TimesFfCayunc, Mr. +. w. Evans Of the
D. Il. Holmes CO.. gives ut a frank statement as to how the employees
at Holmes are paid their salaries, the system and basis upon which their
salaries are increased, and the payment of bonuses semhannually. for
extra money earned during the year. The statement not only deals with
the subject II the salaries and how they are paid. but Mr.. Evans also
gives put in the statement the annual sales OF the Company tor the past
two years.
In commenting upon the d. II. Holmes plan and the method Of en-
ployment If their sales people. W might say that this system goes back
to the principle Of paying a man what he is worth and paying him well
for what he does. In the present labor unrest throughout the country
today. much dissatisfaction from the employer comes from the fact that
through labor unions, they are compelled to pay II workman a much IS
the other in any certain line of trade, whether or not. he is efficient in the
particular trade to which he is attached. The carpenters today are de-
handing IL dollar an hour. but there re ST many different kinds OF
carpenters. from the saw and Ratchet variety to the finish mechanic that
it is unjust to the contractor to be compelled Ito pay One Dollar al hour
TO a mar. whose knowledge OF the carpenter business extends only to the
use of a saw and Ratchet. The "a and Ratchet man is not m more
entitled to One Dollar a hour for his service than would a Fifty Dollar
railroad clerk be entitled to a Ten Thousand Dollar salary just because
sol other man in his office IA promoted to this high position. We be-
liev that every mn should be paid well for what he does. but it is a
wrong principle for "A labor union to foster upon ntracto men n are
not capable to perform the duties of their profession. Coming back again
is classed as a finish carpenter, he must have had at least several years
OF apprenticeship to entile him o the full wages of a finish mechanic.
Prior to "a there a a distinction between a carpenter helper
and a carpenter, but war times brought o n such a unprecedented de-
mand for me that anyone who could Sc carpenter tools to any extent was
given full wages. The Government is mostly to blame in this respect
We believe that in order to bring conditions back to he normal the Union
themselves should classify their lei in such a manner that the pay will
be in keeping with the amount and quality of the work performed. But
W e re again getting away from the main point and that is the right OF
al employer to employ who he desires. The L. FieblemanS store in Canal
St, is being posted by Union employees, because the firm would not
recognize their union. Investigation shows that this store is paying sal
aries and employing its help on the same basis as the other big depatr-
ment stores.

A public telephone meeting
was held in the town hall last
night and was attended by about
70 men. H. O. Tracy and Mr..
Roos were here and explained
the matter in cold facts and fig
ures. Making a long story short,
Mr.. Roos is physically and finan-
cially unable to continue the
construction of the modern
telephone system in Askov and is
DESTROYS Of disposing OF all the
material he has here. His total
investment here to date is
S9,523.12. this includes poles and
setting Of same, cross arms, ca
BILE, wire, etc, etc. On this ma
terial he owes the st. Paul Flee
trio Co, something over $4,000
The proposition offered the cltl-
,zens was as follows: That we or
oanize a local stock company and
take over Mr. RS oill o! $3.50
and pay him the balance or about
$4,000 on this latter sum Mr.. X.
would take notes due Jan. 1, 1921
without interest. There is still
the switch board and telephones
and few minor things to get
but these Mr.. Roos has a con-
tract for at prices much lower
than the prevailing prices. These
contracts would be turned over
to the probable local organiza-
ton. The material left to get
amounts to $4,000 at Mr.. r.
contract price, whereas if we
should buy it at market price to-
dav it would be about $4,000 or
$500 higher. Hence the total in
vestment for material would be
about $l2,50O, add to this about
$500 for labor to complete the
construction and you have a
pretty good idea Of what it
means financially to install a tel
ephone system in Askov. The
matter was discussed to some ex-
tent. The principal difficulty
was Of course the raising Of the
SIS, 900. The result of the meet
ing was that chairman Svend Pc
tersen appoint committee of {
to thoroughly investigate the
financial situation, such as get
ting terms on the balance Of ma
terial to be purchased and thu
sum $1,000 due the st. Paul cleo
trio Co. and if in their opinion
the community is able to handl,
the matter they will canvass ths
community in an effort to organ
ize a stock company.
