A few days ago, when he filled the

UNDERPRODUCTION
is AGAIN BLAMED
UPON EMPLOYERS
"a. F. of l.. News Service)

New York.-Once again have anti
unionists and their editorial and polit-
ical cuckoos ignored the challenge of
mechanical engineers that employers
are inefficient and responsible for re-
stricted production.
The first challenge was when a
committee representing the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers, af-
ter a survey of industry, published
figures to prove their statement.
The second challenge is by Fred j.
Miller, past president of the society,
who stated in a speech before 1000
engineers, manufacturers and educa-
tors that labor's inefficiency is insig-
nifcant compared with the employers.
"Too many there are" he said,
who would place inefficiency entirely
upon the employee. Production has
been and is restricted by workers,
organized and unorganized, and most
of such restriction is wrong, econom-
ically, if not officially.
I'm most industries, however, |
think it can easily be shown that re-
striction of production by workers is
insignificant compared with the re-
strictions caused by financial Jug
Cling; by avoidable irregular employ
ment of labor and of plant; by I'M
necessary large inventories; by made
quate control of the movement of ma
terial through the works by made
quate or entire absence of provision
for teaching or training, and by abb
sence of effective means of recording
attainments of workers"
Mr.. Miller also stated that "the
transcendent Importance of the hu-
man element in our industries" must
be fully recognized.
