PRINTING WASTE
 CAN BE OVERCOME,
 REPORT DECLARES
Individual lndustriaIism De- cIared Failure and Coop eratiye Effort Recom-
 mended as Remedy
By Associated Press

HSW 1Ork, August zl.- IGIhCE oous wastage in the printing indus try, which can be overcome by CO., operative effort, was described in a report issued tonight by the com mittee on elimination of waste in in dustry of the American engineering council. Overequipment representing a capital outlay of hundreds of mil lions of dollars was mentioned as an important factSr in printing losses.
 The committee, which was named by Herbert Hoover and previously had investigated various other indus tries, declared that individual efforts to eliminate waste hsve proven im- potent except for the individual pocketbook." Individual industrialism was held a failure as applied to the printing industry
 Printing, the report said, repre- sents a total investment of approx imately billion and a half dollars and has an annual production of more than three billion dollars. These figures are based upon the inclusion of such dependent industries as printing machinery, ink. type found ing and two thirds of the paper in- oustry.
 The report referred to a survey conducted by the United Typothetae of America. which estimated over equipment at from 50 to 150 per cent. Strong competition everywhere and the necessity for prompt production were given as causes for this condi- ton.
 Methods Criticised
 The committee criticised some methods used by both employe and employer, deploring the profiteering which has existed during the last few years and the distortion of the ,lsw of supply and demand, as well as the eurtailment to which labor has undoubtedly resorted."
 Recomm endations were made that printing unions should insist upon reasonable hours and the best pay ohtainable, but that they should also cooperate and even be aggressive ,l insisting upon the determination and use of production standards in ap- praising their service, and that they should lend themselves to the great est possible fleXibility in the utiliza- ton of economy of the service of Il cir membership.
 Tt is distinctly to labor's interest rather than to it's detriment," added the report, that it's service shoGit not only be as effective as possible. but also be definitely recorded and understood"
 The report said that labor's respon- sibility for waste is notably less ir

TENNESSEE FARMS ARE REVELATION ID
 ANN|STON PARTY
Visitors Greatly Impressed By Spirit of CordiaIity Met In East
 Tennessee

Newport, Tenn, August 21.--(Spe- cial)-The Calhoun county farmers drove the e5 miles from Knoxville to a splendid luncheon served at the joint clubrooms of the Clifton and kiwanis clubs by Stokeley Bros, l. s. Allen and John NJ. Jones, the names of the local packers being familiar one among the people from whence
 the farmers come.
 The party made an inspection trip to the Angus stock farm of pr. Hug
 gins, near Dsnbridge, this morning,
 nearly every one of the live stock
 fanciers in the crowd having the
 privilege of rubbing their hands over a s3oOOO bull imported into this
 country from Scotland and seeing
 some of the very finest types of beef
 cattle at the same place.
 Fourteen years ago MT. Hugs.ns
 bought his farm at s33 an acre, paid
 one-third of the purchase price and gave a mortgage to cover the de- | ferred payments. What was a barren
 waste 14 years ago Is now one of
 the typically prosperous stock farms
 in the entire state of Tennessee. | Driving from the stock farm to the
 French Broad river four miles away
 the excursionists decided that the | waters were too high for a safe 1 crossing. went back to Cambridge
 and drove the remaining 20 miles to
 Newport in 45 minutes over one of
 the typically perfect lime rock roads abounding in this particular part of l the state.
 1 The dinner to which the excursion
 ists were invited upon arrival at | Newport consisted of fried chicken, tomatoes with cottage cheese, fresh. beans, creamed potatoes, iced tea, to-
 mato sandwiches, fec cream and cake, and Ii would have done the hearts of hef Anniston friends good to have
 seen Mrs, G. Wilbur Taylor (Henri
 Linn Barr) go after that dinner which was just about three hours later than the schedule called for. The visit to the canning factory here was a genuine revelation to
 many of the people in the party and a general treat. The owners and op- orators started out few years ago on small scale. and they are now recognized a among the leading can ners in the south, growing much Of their own produce and making this part of the state a thrifty center by furnishing a market for the pred ucts of the rich farms surroun1ing Newport.
 We passed through some of the most picturesque and promising country in East Tennessee, and many of the farmers in the party began the homeward "trip Friday morning with the distinat determination to

nonunion plants because of lack of restrictions enforced by the unions, and the resulting flexibility in main taining a balance between labor and production.
 Lack Production Standards
 Declaring the management within the individual plants still "typically individualistic," the report said the "crux of waste within the individual printing establishments is the lack of accurate production standards constituting fair basis of ap- praisaI for the individual workers" Standardization of equipment was urged.
 Concluding it's report, the commit tee makes these recomme ndations:
 ITO the manager of an individual plant that the large establishments develop conscientious technique of management including the develop ment and use of production quotas.
 "To managers os the industry as a whole that the United Typothetae Union of America undertake the pro- duction quotas for the beneft of the smaller printers along the line of it's present work in cost keeping; that the printing and allied trades. inciuu- ing the National Association of Pur- chasing Agents, in joint action, de- vel6p and adhere to CO ordinata standards for printing products, ma terials and machine equipment and conduct publicity campaign for the education of the buyers of printing as to what the standards affecting them are and the advantage to them in their use.
 ITO labor. that labor individually and collectively advocate and CO., operate with the employing printer in the establishment of production quotas. that through the induhtriai relations department of the United Typothetae and through the interna- . tional joint conference council they cooperate in the elimination of re- strictions affecting output. and they urge the use of employees within one establishment for more than one class of work
 ITO the department of commerce, that it cooperate with and support the printing and allied trades in bringing about joint conferences, and in conducting publicity campaign for the education of buyers as to standards determined upon and the advantages to be gained through their use"
