Had we followed the maxim.
"In time Of peace prepare for
war" Gefmny would have hest

anything to threw us into the
balance against her.
During the war we wasted
thousands of precious lives; we
wasted untold millions Of treas

avoided had the American peO-
pie insisted on having Congress
make suitable preparation for

Sweat Each Other.
Summed up, the gang system &C.
composites the following: /. Super
vision is automatically accomplished
by the men themselves. 2. Inventory
of materials in process is automati-
cally controlled and production of
parts is harmoniously balanced with
car output schedules. 3. Economical
administration is attained. 4. Wages
can be adjusted without changing car
costs. 5. Company obtains average
labor costs while providing efficient
workers with higher than average
wages"
Under this system the pay Of all
the workers may be adversely affected
If one man or one group falls behind
the production schedule. Hence the
men are induced to sweat each other
The man who fails to keep the pace is
forced out by his fellows. Similarly, if
a gang feels that it could turn out the
work with fewer men and so increase
its average pay it quickly insists that
the surplus manpower be laid Off"
The slave-driver type of foreman,

keepers and checkers are obsolete.

INSULT AND NEW ENGLAND BANKERS
IN WAR TO GET CONTROL OF POWER

on the Merrimac River, will enable
the Boston group to checkmate the
onward sweep Of the insult group.
The New England Power system
operates over an area of 5000 square
miles in Vermont. New Hampshire,
Massachusetts and Rhode Island, its
chief sources of power being the great
hydraulic stations on the Deerfeld and
Connecticut Rivers. The New England
Power Co, is also hooked up with
the st. Lawrence River. Thus the
complete elimination Of the small To-
cal light and power companies have
been eliminated either thru mergings
or sale, and going into the control Of
either the insult or the New England
power interests.
Now that the process of elimination
of the small fry is about complete,
and the insult group having planted
its feet on New England territory,
the main bout will now be fought to
a finish between the two heavyweight
champions for the control of New
England's light and power. Either it
will be draw by merging of the
two giants or the insult interests will
lick and take over the control of the
New England Power interests. In any
event the monopoly of the natural re-
sources Of New England will be COM
pletely in the hands of the financial
lords of America.

MOTORS COMPLETES WITH
FORD SLAVE-DRIVING SYSTEMS

Men, materials and machines scien-
tifically handled are pouring millions
of dollars in profits into the Golfers of
the Hudson Motor Car Co. How this
is accomplished is described in six
articles prepared for the Wall Street
Journal by its Detroit bureau. The
pride of the management, according to
this survey, is the gang system, by
which the workers are induced to act
as speed bosses over each other.
The first series Of labor-displacing
devices affects the handling of mate
rails. Today two. men with lotion
truck unload a Acton car of steel in
one hour, where the job formerly re-
CURED 80 man&hours. The saving of
30 hours per. carload means S57, 500 a
year to the stockholders. The adop-
ton Of standardized containers and
the warning tag system of providing
an automatic flow of materials dis
placed about $50 stock chasers, but
saved more than S250,O0O a year for
the company. The frame castor meth
cd Of handling the body output re.
duced the men required from 11S to
40, saving $145,00O a year.
New Machinery.
The development and arrangement
Of automatic machinery is responsible
for further money-saving changes. A
new geat-cutting machine saves one
minute per gear, but that means $780,
900 a year to the company. A new
milling machine enables one man to
displace five and saves the company
S72,S00 a year. A new lathe for ma
Ginning crankshaft bearings displaces
six engine lathes operated by six work
ers, saving about $4,000 year.
The new bolt drivers enable the
same number of men to tighten all the
body bolts on 1900 cars a day as for
merly frightened bolts on 300 cars a
day. Similar tools have reduced the
force for attaching springs, axles and
brake shafts from twelve TO eight.
Eighteen men now paint 1900 chassis

many, the case will not be tried before
February or March, 1927.
On the other hand, strong forces
are at work trying to stop the prose-

WORCESTER, Mass, Dec. 8. -
Keen competition between the Samuel
insult interests of Chicago and the
powerful investment banking public
utilities group Of Boston, now RACES
for the control of electric light, power
and gas companies in the New Eng
land states. Local mergers have been
taking place here recently, and the
latest move is the almost completed
negotiations for the merging of The
Worcester Gas Light Co., with the
Worcester Electric Light Co. on a To-
cal scale, thus making it a paying
proposition for the insult interests or
the Boston nanciers-whicheve Of
the two make the first haul.
During the last year and half as
a result of buying UP various COM
panies, the insult interests have Sc
cured control of light, gas and power
companies in Manchester, Nashua,
Keene, Milford, Hillsboro and Ash
land, New Hampshire.
insult Gets Rights
After much lobbying at the state
house, the insult interests have Sc
cured permission from the public utili-
ties commission of New Hampshire to
put these local companies together in
one holding company known as the
Public Service companies of New
Hampshire. AS result of the compe-
tition to gain control of the shares as
well as the increased profits of the
reported, paid price for their stock
which was much above the market
quotations for the past two years.
However much was paid for the COM
panies as well as incidental expenses
Cor greasing the palms of the New
Hampshire politicians, ETC.. it may be
considered cheap as this deal puts the
insult interests on the Merrimac River
which supplies the bulk of the textile
centers of New England with light
and power.
insult will now be in a position to
hook up with his upper New York
state and Canadian interests, thus
placing himself in a most strategic
position to fight the Boston group that
must eventually surrender to the
mighty Sam insult.
However, the merger of the two
Worcester companies will, in all pro-
liability, result in its control going
over to the New England Power Co.,
which is part of the Boston group,
known as the New England Power
Association, holding company which
controls also the Connecticut River
Power Co., and the Rhode Island
Power Transmission Co.
Not to be outdone by the insult
group, the New England Power Asso-
citation has already effected an arrange
ment for the purchase of the Law
renee (Mass.) Gas and Electric Co.,
which supplies gas and electricity to

boring towns of Andover, North An
