Mleh" as a city of excellent labor conditions. and the
writer attributes the satisfactory conditions which he
tound there quite largely to the character Of the work
'tse'1. Grand Rapids is, as everyone knows, a great
furniture manufacturing city. While there 1. plenty Of
deal OF hand work. and not a little, in the better grades
OF furniture, which calls for the exercise of much in
dtv1duaI taste and individual initiative on the part of the
workman. Because of this individuality there is greater
incentive for tho workman to take pride in his work.
and that condition is always one which promotes good
relations all around.
1t has sometimes been said that the use of machin-
cry would destroy. and was already destroying the souls
OF worknen, and that men were becoming as mechani-
cal as the machines which they operate. This ia an
over statement, Tor there are few occupations in which,
no matter what machinery is employed, there is not op-
portunlty for the workman to perform his work well or
ILL.,, and where this possibility exists there will always be
found men who will take pride on doing their work
well.
But the use of machinery, and the development of
business institutions into sreat machines, Undoubtedly
nave dangers which it is the business Of progressive men
TO guard against. Specialization leads to ef6ciency. In
work. But over specialization narrews the workman,
and IN the end makes him less efficient. There are now
large manufacturers who are seriously considering the
plan OF sniftinE worknen from one branch Of employ
n1ent to another at stated intervals, the idea being, il it
may be stated that way, to make Of the employees general
practitioners rather than specialists and specialists only.
Ihose who have this subject under consideration admit
tnat the first result will be a decrease In efficiency, and
consequently in profits. But they believe that this i'm
mediate loss will be more than counterbala need by the
ultimate increase in the efficiency OF the plant as a whole.
and in the broadening influence which will be brought
to bear on all who come in contact with the work Of the
