THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Hiring and Firing.

AS business in the United States
moves further from savagery toward
civilization in it's methods, leaders
are frowning more and more upon
the old fashioned system of hiring
and firing.
Ruthless discharges perhaps do
more to break the spirit of men In
the rank and file than any other
avoidable abuse.
Progressive employers are taking
pride in reducing labor turnover-not
only because excessive changes are
inhuman, but also they are expensive.
Every time corporation employs
"a man or woman. it makes an invest
ment in the individual. The new
conner does not reach his full pro-
ductivity Immediately. The time re-
quired TO learn the requirements Of
new job vary. The intelligent work
er, through experience, becomes
cumulatively more valuable, and
other things being equal. he Is of
greater worth to his present en-
plOyer than to any strange concern.
However, unfortunately, some reac-
tionary employers never perceive the
true worth of their workers until
some outsider bids higher for their
services.
Selection Of Applicants.
Scientific study of the employment
problem-and all large and progress
experts to deal with this question
indicates that turnover can be mini
miZed IL care is exercised in the Sc
lection Of new applicants fer jobs.
Some concerns use psychological
tests to determine the fitness Of Job
seekers. but others will rely on rule
of thumb devices.
Among employers Of the higher
rank the tendency to work on con-
tracts Is growing. A definite assur-
ance of tenure in office adds to the
dignity of executives. A man who
Is uncertain Of his own job cannot
function efficiently as department
head or as a supervisor OF others.
There is a growing tendency also to
select men from the ranks for execu-
tive jobs, thus building up morale
and a feeling Of loyalty.
One large concern, when 1t decides
to get rid of department head.
transfers him to other work for, a
full year without a. reduction in pay.
He thus gets plenty Of time to find
new employment commensurate with
hiC CdpdNAIys
Weed Out the Unfit.
Sometimes employers, in trying to
spare the feelings of workers, are a
little less than frank in discussing
their prospects. Although competent
workers should be encouraged to sue
ceed, the best service to the unfit Is
to weed them out promptly. Some :.
times employers and department
heads use fine words to soften the
blow. and thus build up false hopes.
Efficiency in business requires a low
labor turnover, and this can be as
sured not only by paying fair wages
and treating employees justly. but also
by firing incompetent applicants be-
fore they are hired.
incidentally, clearing houses for in
formation about jobs are still made
quate, especially for executive and
semi-executive types. Too many jobs
and men are brought together
through a random recommendation
Of an outsider.

BY these subtle devices Of recapi-
talization, the management achieves
the same results without setting them
selves up as targets for criticism.

GUS Hearing.

Justice Wendell Phillips Stafford, il
Criminal Division 2 today declined tc
postpone the case of Mamie Campbell
charged with a violation of the anti
narcotic law, when requested by At
torney Abner Siegal. Mr.. Siegal yes
terday won delay in another case by
his claim that the action of the court
IN discharging II men from the pane
of jurors had the effect of intimidat
Ing the remaining jurors and his client
could not have a fair trial.
Justice Stafford then explained tC
The jurors remaining on his panel that
during his 26 years of service on the
bench he has dismissed jury panels
on onIy two occasions. These We're eX-
ceptional cases, the court said, and
were not because the court had a diff
ferent view of the questions of fact
from that entertained by the jurors,
because the jury is under the law the
sole judge Of fact, but because 1t was
apparent that little or no considera-
ton had been given to the testimony
for the Government.
When the Government makes out
particularly strong case" said the
Justice, IAN the jury walks in and
put and the jurors announce their
verdict with passion and prejudice in
their voices. then it is an exceptional
case and justifies the court in taking
action"
