PIECE WORK ON RAILROADS.

Not tho least interesting of the re-
suits of the strike of the shopmen is
The organization of company unions"
on many of the railroads and the adop-
ton of piece work The statement
that rs per cent OF the mileage is not
represented in formal settlements with
the strikers Is accompanied by intima-
tons that a policy of local rather than
national agreements is to be generally
adopted. Expressed In another way,
here Is to be more direct dealings be-
ween the men and their employers.
This IL suggestive OF a great improve

eliminates interference by outsiders
who TOO often are more Interested In
starting trouble than In the establish

pay for. efficient and industrious men
Figures from the Altoona shops OF the

FORD THINKS 40
ACE To BEGIN
CAREERS
Says Men Can Then Start to
Make Money After Gaining
Experience.
By Cosmopolitan News Service.

BOSTON, Nov. l6.-"A mans ca
reer doesn't really begin until he's
around forty" says Henry Ford
when he is forty years old a man
has just about reached the age wher
he may begin to think seriously about
making money.
Until he IL forty a man should be
gaining experience; he should be
learning all he can. particularly how
10 spend money. That is why I said
two weeks ago the best advice
could give to young men anxious TO
succeed is: Spend your money-on
yourself: get all the experience you
can. Don't try to save money and be
q miser."
Mr.. Ford delivered the foregoing
advice In an interview I'm his private
railroad car, parked in the yards of
the back bay. Mr.. Ford had spent a
busy day around the tool plants OF
Boston.
Disagrees With Osler.
Mr.. Ford disagreed with DR.. Osler.

saying that a man had passed the
age Of efficiency and usefulness at
forty and should be "chloroformed.

nine years DID," said Ford. before I
began to think very much about
making money. Before that / was

SHINES Has Plans.
Some representatives of Hugo
SHINES came to our Detroit office
recently. l asked them what SHINES

after. They admitted his motive was
70 make money; they were out to get
stock control Of business and to make
all the money they could.
IF that were our motive l would
not be very confident of our future.
We are now employing about 100, 900
people and we hope to employ many

our purpose-to provide lucrative
