WHITE ADOPTS
BON Us IDEA
FOR EMPLOYEES

Manager MeAhren of the White
Truck Sales company, has received
information to the effect that the
White Motor company has inau-
gurated at its factory in Cleveland,
Ohio, a bonus system to ultimately
affect all factory employees. The
bonus is in addition to, and entirely
independent Of hourly wages and
is not to be confused with the orr
binary piece-work plan. from which
II differs most materially.
The quality OF work performed is
Of prime Importance. and only good
pieces that pass rigid inspection
qualify the worker to earn bonus
Briefly. the system embodies the
analyxing and classifying Of all jobs
according to the skill required Of the
operator. Every job is assigned to
one of ten bonus classificati tions.
Standard job and bonus classifica-
tion charts are posted in the fac
tory and others are in the hands
of superintendents, where anyone
who wishes may find out what job
and bonus class covers his work.
In addition to the job and bonus
classification a standard table of
fatigue and rest allowances. classi-
| fled according to the job is adopted;
| from 10 per cent to % per cent al
lowances are made for fatigue and
rest. the most being of course ap-
piled to the work which puts the
greatest strain on the worker.
When a job has been studied and
classified, a bonus chart and in
struction card is filled out and
given to the worker The instruc-
| ton card shows the method by
which the work should be done,
giving equipment, set-up, total time

tigue and the standard time for
doing the job.
In order to arrive at the stand
ard job and bonus classifications,
time studies were made by men
who formerly had been practical
workmen and foremen and who have
had from three to five years time
study experience. At least three
time studies are made OF each job so
that the chance Of error is reduced
to a minimum.
The bonus chart is set on the
standard time OF the instruction card
for 100 per cent efficiency, but a
man begins to earn the bonus when
he reaches so per cent of the stand
ard and the bonus chart also shows
the amount of money which may
be earned by increasing the out
put.
AS long as an operation is per-
formed In accordance with the in
structions, equipment, method, etc,
outlined on the bonus chart and in
struction card, the bonus will not
be lowered, nor will the standard
classification, together with the
fatigue and rest allowances, be
altered.
Briefly, this bonus system is an
attempt to pay the workers accord
ing to their ability. AS in the past,
an hourly wage is paid TO all en-
ployes; this is entirely separate and
Independent of any bonus earnings.
The employe who earns a bonus
knows each day just what bonus
he earned the day before. Daily
tne number OF pieces ne produced
is inspected and counted, the time
checked and the amount OF bonus
computed. Then a bonus pay slip
is made out showing the amount
of bonus is earned. The bonus pay
envelope contains the total OF all
the bonus pay slips received by an
employe during the preceding pay
period

LEE HIGHWAY IS
MAKING HEADWAY

Considerable attention has been
drawn in the last month to the need
of a trafscontinentai roadway. max
ing an automobile trip from the At
lantic to the Pacific possible at all
times during the year. While 1t Is
possible to use certain sections of the
present transcontinental highways
most of the time, still there are occa-
sions when an automobile trip from
coast to coast is beset with insur-
mountable hardships.
"Plans are now taking shape says
Bob Coulter, manager of Snow q
Tufts Auto company, Oldsmobile. dls-
tributor, under the auspices of the
Lee Highway association. with the
assistance of the A. A. A.. for the
actual consideration Of a cross-conti-
mental roadway that will prove prac-
ticable for motor cars touring every
month and day of the year.
Among the states interested in
this proposed road are Virginia. Ten
nessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas,
New Mexico, Arizona and California.
1t has been suggested that the new
road connect washington, d. c.. and
some point in southern California,
whence the trip should be made up
the coast or valley to San Francisco.
Already the route has been selected
from the national capital in south
west diagonal down the valleys of
Virginia and Tennessee, through
Roanoke, Bristol and Knoxville to
Chattanooga. The next step will be
to extend the route from Chatta-
nooga to the Pacific.
"The construction of . this road
would add one alore link binding the
eastern section to the far west. We
cannot have too many good roads,
and these trunk lines are proving
more popular year by year. In the
old days a transcontinental trip by
motor car was not to be thought of,
but now quite often women are found
directing a car from the east of mid
die west to this state"

Nervous disorders are on the

quite often r.eglect their
health to such an extent that
a breakdown is the inevitable
result.
Such neglect is criminal, In
many instances it leads to
fatal consequences. When
you have moody spells, feel
