Is the bonus idea an unmixed bless-

II would be hard 10 convince any re-
eipients Of such extra compensation
that IL is undesirable TO accept a bonus,
yet the question raises q practical
problem. Some banking institutions
reject the bonus idea. At least one
large bank prefers 70 compensate It's
employees in straight salary and wages
only. It's theory is that IL a man gets
$500 a year In salary and $500 in
bonus he looks upon himself az a 81, 200
a year man, whereas by doing the same
thing financially In the form Of salary
he will regard himself ns a $500 4
year man, end conduct himself accord
ingly. That view, II seems TO Us, raises
a highly eontroversiAl Psychological
question, and we are hy no means GER
tain that Il represents the ultimate an
swer to the question Of relations be-
tween employers and workers..

Object OF Inquiry

For the information OF the American
people let me say that the object OF this
investigation, which was a pure public
service rendered by the engineer with
the aid Of the Cabot Fund, has been TO
determine;
i. What is the extent Of continuous
work In American Industry
2, What are the alternatives 70 the
twelve-hour shift
3. Are there technical difficulties IN
changing from two-shift operationf
4. How does the change from two 20
three shift operation affect the number
OF shift workersi
3. What are the factors 20 be con.
sidered in changing from two % three
shift operationsG
8. What Is the effect Of eight-hour
as compared with twelve-hour shift
operation on the quantity OF produc.
ton, absenteeism, labor turnover and
Industrial accldents7
Z, How do wage rates on eight-hour
shit operation compared with wage
rates on twelve-hour shift operation
3. What Is the general opinion OF
managers Of three-shlft plants regard
ing three-shift as compared With two
shift operationi
3. Do employees make good use Of
the increased hours Of leisurei
10. To what extent have plants re-
verted TO two-shift operationf
These questions may be thus an
swered: More than forty industries
engaged In continuous work; the logi.
cal alternative TO the two twelVe-hour
shit system is the three eight-hour
shift system, and this Is the usual pro-
eedurei no technical difficulties have
been encountered By an overwhelming
majority Of the plants which have
changed from two 10 three shift opera

uive data as 20 the effect upon the
number Of shift workers Of the change
from two 20 three shift operation be-

shift workers has increased IN proper
