signed the owner is told who the
union contractors are-we play no
favorites. We give them all the
names and they select the one they
want from the list.
The owner holds these general
contractors responsible for the acts
of the sub-contracts, and all are
told the work must be done on a
strictly union basis.
The trades take care of the cree
ton of the building; it is erected
without delay. The very fact that
the owner realizes on his investment
at a date far in advance of when he
expected to get returns is the best
advertisement we can get"

Workers "Bunked"
By Harvester Trust

Chicago, Sept. 24.-The harvester
trust comedies that it's employees
usually got considerable bunk and
fell far short of getting a fifty
fifty square deal.
I'm some plants the foreman of
the various departments had in the
past been encouraged in practicing
trickery on the employees"
The above statement was made
by Arthur H. Young, manager of
the trusts industrial relations de-
partment in his address before the
convention of the American Drop
Forge Association.
The speaker was explaining the
trusts company "union" while
acknowledging that the trust was
guilty of trickery on its employees.
He further said that the COM
pany union" has increased the
piece work output but it remains
to be seen" whether wages can be
reduced. He added that some man
ufacturers expect to sit in the
grand stand and do the cheering
while the employees do all the
work"
In commenting on this speech,
Editor Martin of the Blacksmiths, ,
Drop Forgers and Helpers Maya
zine, said:
"Here you have it Mr.. Young
frankly admits the practice of
trickery on the employees, also that
in some plants foremen had in the
past been encouraged in this de-
ception. How, under Heaven, and
in the name of common sense, are
employees to believe the employer
in the face of such frank admis
sion? If they trick him once will
they not trick him again and de-
ceive him oftener? And this is q
strictly piece work shop.
"The trickery surely must be
more cunning, more fooling and
more convincing in order to give
the boss more than twice the piece
work production and at a less cost.
"Mr. Young tells you, Mr.. Piece
Worker, that the directors of the
company erpect to sit in the grand
stand and DO all the cheering, while
the employees do all the work, and
in the very next line or two informs
the convention that it remains tC
be seen what will happen when il
becomes necessary to reduce the
present scale of wages"

Union Trade Rules
Blamed on Bosses

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 24.-The
great indoor sport of aiding en-
ployes to change union regulations
which they claim is Objectionable
to them, was reversed by DR.. John
A. Ryan, Of Catholic university,
Washington, D. c., in speech in
this city.
The speaker said that fear Of
unemployment is behind regula-
tons of this character, and that
this fear could be removed by guar
anteeing labor regular employment.
The failure to do so, he said, j.
poor industrial management, and
labor should not be censored while
no effort is being made to end the
causes which lead to such steps.
DR.. Ryan's reasoning is in oppo-
sition to the position taken by
penny-a-liners and publicity seekers
who ignore causes and who deal
with effects.
The speaker declared that for
several restrictive measures en-
ployed by the unions there is a
considerable measure of extenua-
ton, if not of justification"
mo abuses can be remedied by
mere denunciation," he said
Causes can be removed only by
comprehensive measures which will
give workers security in their jobs
and interest in their work.
when we turn from the subject
Of deliberate restriction of produc-
ton to that of waste, we find that
labor is much less responsible than
industrial management. In the re-
port Of the American Engineers We
find that waste in six great indus
tries is charged against manage
ment as GO per cent. while only 16
per cent is attributed to labor"

TWENTY SEVEN
BILLIONS i. s.
SECURITIES
Bought BY Small Investors
$4,000. 900, 900 Savings
Bank Deposits

Treasury Department records in
J dictate that thrift has found firm
foothold in America. Figures made
/ public today by the Savings Division
show that, despite the economic de
preston and unemployment, the
| savings of small investors through
out the United States total APP
proximately $27 000,000,000, OF, TAX
ing the population at 108 100000, a
per capita savings of about $3.50
for each man, woman and child in
the nation.
Of this vast sum of working dol
lars, $21, 000,000,000 is invested in
government securities, while the
other $4,000, 100000 is represented
by deposits in more than 10000 saw
ings banks. To the holders of Third
Liberty Loan Bonds, included in
the investments referred to, the
government is today paying semi
annual coupon interest amounting
to more than S77,G00,000. At the
same time the holders of these Sc
curities are being invited by the
Savings Division to re-invest their
interest money in Thrift Stamps
and War Savings Stamps with the
view Of keeping as much as possible
Of this money at work.
Government war issues are held
mainly by persons Of small means.
according to Treasury officials. No
lesson which came out Of the war
was more thoroughly learned than
that which inculcated in the wage
Garner and the child the habit Of
systematic saving. The needs plant
cd during the great National emer-
gency are now during the postwar
period of re-adjustment, beginning
to bear fruit.
Reports of the Comptroller of the
Currency show that savings banks
deposits total approximately S6,000,-
900, 900. Deposits during the period
Of depression have exceeded the
large Withdrawals. The savings have
proved the salvation of thousands
of families where the breadwinners
have been thrown out of employ
ment because of the general cur
tailment Of production.
Commenting on the value of the
investments in government securi-
ties, the Washington correspondent
Of the Philadelphia Public Ledger
says:
Gone hundred dollars saved six
months ago now will buy securities
worth $50, compared with the ear
lier period. This is because the
wave Of falling prices involving ev-
erything from shoes to bonds and
stocks.
"The person who began saving
during the war period and has re-
tanned the habit therefore now is
in position to realize a double
return, it is pointed out. The first
return is that of interest on the
amount saved and the Second is
the additional value of the commod-
ity purchased or the investment
decided upon. At this rate inves-
tors of small means are now in a
position to turn into commerce and
manufacturing more than $50,00O,-
100000 in comparison with the pre-
war period"
Orrin C. Lester. Acting Director
of Savings, declares that the people
have come to realize that, basically,
the prosperity Of the worker de-
bends upon thrift-upon his own
thrift and the National thrift.
