TECHNOLOGY Plan
BENEFITS INDUSTRY
Cooperation Started in Bay
State Six Years Ago
Grows in Favor.
BY tn" Associated Press.


CAMBRIDGE, Mass, December 25.
Six years ago industry and educa-
ton got together in plan Of co-opera-
tiona and industry has been coming
back for more ever since. Today the
division of Industrial cooperation at
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology has more orders than II can
fill.
This idea of cooperation is called
the Technology plan" Briefly. II
operates to place at industry's door the
services of highly trained technical
and scientific workers. as well as their
equipment. In order that problems
confronting the business world may be
solved without a disruption Of pres
ent method or let-up in production.
Keeps Both Sides Alert.
Results Of the plan have been TO
bring men from many factories into
the institute 10 work and study in Its
Laboratories to send research workers
from the institute into the factories
and to keep these workers and pro
fessors alive to the growing demands
and needs of the industrial world.
Aside from these results, Prof.
Charles !. Norton, director Of the d.
vision. believes this cooperation has
caused many manufacturers TO In
crease the amount of research work
done In their own factories TO the
end Of lettering their products he
cited the example Of manufactures
of woolens who believed his product
! to be, the best obtainable. A customer
complained as to the quality or his
goods and he appealed to the institute
for help. Research professors found
the trouble and means OF correcting
it. The manufacturer built labora-
tory of his own, manned IT with
Technology graduates and kept the
research worker as visiting IN
structor until he was sure things
were running as they should.
Advantage to Students.
Prof. Norton is of the opinion that
the plan also has worked to the ad-
vantage of Technology students. He
further believes that the work OF the
| professors in the field tends to keep
| the students in close touch with indus
try while they still are students.
Some opposition to the plan was de.
veloped at its inception, Prof
Norton said, because 1t was felt the
outside work would interfere too
much with the duties Of teaching.
Prof. Norton says 1t has worked in
! the opposite direction.
! Some of the problems that the in
| stitute professors have been called
upon to solve include determining the

The American bankers, headed

curbed their enthusiasm over the

SHA
Taxpayers Worrying
ST. JOSEPH, Mich, Jan. 25.-Ber-
rien county taxpayers are becoming
incensed by the increasing burden of
taxation the trials of the Commun-
lists being prosecuted there under the
Michigan criminal syndicalism law
are causing. Thousands of dollars are
being spent by the county on every
trial and there are thirty-one more
yet to be held.
The storm Of protest has been so
great that George Bookwalter, Berrien
county prosecutor, is beginning to
worry about his political fortunes.
He has, it appears, been frightened
into announcing that there will be de-
lays in the prosecution of the Com
munists.
Voters Kick.
But that is mere talk for the vot-
ers. Brookwalter knows there will be
no shortage of funds for prosecuting
the Communists. This recalls a SINH
lar situation that existed in 1923.
Then too, there was a kick from Der
rien county. But it was soon hushed
Fhe taxpayers were given to under
stand in various ways that they were
not paying the bill.
The Michigan state legislature, for
example, passed a bill about that
time, authorizing the state board of
appropriations to supply all the neces-
sary funds for the prosecution of
criminal cases in any county in the
state. This was obviously meant to
bear the financial burden of the Ber-
rien county cases.
A Little Check For BerrIen.
In January Of last year, the DAILY
WORKER published the photograph
Of check for nearly 100000 issued
by the state Of Michigan to Berrien
county to help cover the costs of the
prosecution. This was only one OF
many checks. Beside this, the state
took the lead in the prosecution and
lightened the burden in that way as
we'll.
