CLUB HERE FRIDAY

Vera Slocum and the young men
with F. w. Peck, both of the State
University Extension department.
At these conferences plans for the
summer were made and other matters
contingent upon All club work were
discussed.
The afternoon closed with ban
quet meeting at the Presbyterian
church, several of the parents of the
Club members being among the
guests. At the close of the dinner an
interesting program of short talks
interspersed with group singing was
given, this in turn was followed by
an enjoyable social evening at the

essential of progress, paying especial
attention to the uses of education in
those following agriculture as their
life work. He showed the value of a
true culture to those wishing to be
happy and useful in their farming
communities and the significance Of a
true sense of values. Mr.. Peck gave
short talk on the need of partner
ships between fathers and sons who
are interested in working on the farm
together, urging that the son be made
a full partner in such an enterprise
and that he be paid for his service by
an ownership in the stock and equip
ment of the farm instead OF in
money.

today when the body moves on an au-
tomato conveyor, which brings it
directly over the chassis just as 1t
is completely assembled, and 1t is
lowered onto the chassis without the
loss Of a minute.
New Methods Come.
HOWEVER, already the steps were
IL taken by the company which were
destined to make it the model of
Standardization and efficiency. For
long periods at a time things were
moved from one place to another to
the CONSERVATION Of many workers.
But gradually it began to be noticed
that things were so placed that they
moved to the. next step in a regular
order which eliminated unnecessary
movement.
It was also at that time that the
first beginning Of a general speed-up
system was introduced. And this too
was crude at the start. Many fore
men and sub-foreman were used to
drive the workers. But how much
better a moving conveyor serves such
purpose against which the wrath
Of the driven worker cannot find ex-
preston so readily.
'1a'o $500 a Day.
TT is about the end of 1918 or the
4 beginning Of 1914 that the Ford
Motor company announced its radical
policy Of the S-hour day and $500
wage per day for all men in the en-
ploy Of the company at least six
months. Curiously enough the new
scale did not apply to the women
workers of whom there were several
hundred.
Along with the $500 day was in
troduced the so-called sociological de-
partment. The work Of this depart
ment was the most outrageous inter
ference with the rights of the in
dividusl. The ''sociologists" put you
thru a refined third degree. They Wis
tied your home, looked into your bank
account, looked over your insurance
policies, your purchases of lots or
homes and even the necessities Of
life. 1t was a hard ordeal to submit
to, but most Of the workers consid-
cred the S-hour day and the S. day
wage a fair price to pay for 1t. When

Dead World Court
Only Good One Says
William (Senat.) Borah

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Oct. 5.-The
United States may be down on the
world court but IT is never out until
the one or the other is dead, accord
ing to Senator Borah, the wild man
Of the Idaho pampas, who seems to
be against everything but the repub-
lican party in pinch.
William 2. Borah happened TO be
in Washington when rumors were
spread that Calvin Coolidge had
turned jaundiced eye on the ante
room OF the league OF nations as the
world court is known to the init.
ated.
The senator likes Cal-at long
distance. so he was not willing TO
give credit where debit was due.
Hence his cynical spiel.
Despite the worthy Borah's pessi.
mism the opinion here is that II would
take hardy political wight to spon-
sor the league Of nations miscar-
riage nowadays. In fact only
wealthy liberals and reaotionaries in
their second childhood care 20 be
seen walking on Pennsylvania any
more with the leagues unbaptised

TN the life Of an industry IA years
constitute brief span. But in the
automobile industry the last IA years
cover the whole period Of growth of a
baby industry not only to maturity,
but to first place on the list of manu-
features by value in the United States.
Well do 1 remember the Ford plant
IA years ago. In the fall of 1912 l
came to Detroit and Immediately Sc
cured job in the Highland Park
plant. This plant was the only Ford
plant then. The output Of cars for
the fiscal year then ended was 76,15O
compared with 1,99O,995 in 1925. The
number Of workers employed at that
time was about 5000 as against about
$4,000 in the three plants this year,
The Big Boom Year.
TT was the year 1912-191s which was
4 the great boom year of the Ford
business. So fast were the orders
coming in that production could not
keep up despite every effort. Work
ers did mot come in sufficient num-
bers to the shop employment Office,
and so, 1t is told, Ford employment
agents stood on street corners solicit
ing workers at higher pay than they
were receiving elsewhere.
Those were the days before the
conveyor and the speed-up system
we're in use. The work day was one
of nine hours and the wages Of the
great majority of the workers ran
from % to "a cents an hour. The
work of moving the assembled parts
from one part Of the factory to the
other was certainly crude and inef1i-
cient compared with the methods Of
today. All over the place men could
be seen pushing trucks from one de-
partment to another. Even the bodies
were brought on auto trucks, lowered
onto small trucks operated by man
poweH wheeled to an elevator which
took body and man up to the fourth
floor where was located the body
room From there after the trim
mings were attached the bodies were
again moved by truckers to the final
assembly where 1t was attached to
the chassis 1t Is altogether different

the Ford company after few years
thought that the expense Of the army
Of psychologists" was no longer war
ranted the department was discontin-
ued, altho there is still some nosing
into private affairs.
Since then great wealth was
amassed at q rate almost unknown in
the annals Of industry. Railroads, boat
lines, coal and iron mines, timber
tracts all came into the control Of
Ford. And recently one of the lead
ing aeroplane factories Of America
also. But the workers received an
average increase Of only a dollar a
day, which makes the general daily
wage one Of $500.
Speed-Up Grows.
WEAR by year the mounting produc-
L ton meant not only great new
wealth for the Fords, but it meant
also a speed-up system the strain of
which could be endured with diff
Guilty. It was then this summer that
the thought of 5-day week was born
Two days a week rest meant a little
more relaxation for the workers so
they could better endure the strain,
and incidentally it meant quite a saw
ing for Ford. There was some talk
among the workers of days pay for
5 days work. But, altho increased pro.
duction fully warrants THIS, the raise
did not materialize, except to small
portion of the workers who received
raise of only $500 a week instead
of the $500. expected.
THERE is disappointment in the
4 hearts and minds of the Ford
workers. But it is disappointment
that leads not to despair. Rather II
is the kind that will generate the idea
Of organization. 1t will not be lone
before they realize that Ford with
all his wealth is no match to the
organized power of the more thar
hundred thousand workers he EN-
ploys. When they fully realize this
they will not only help themselves
materially, but at the same time they
will contribute enormously to the &C
cumulating strength of the whole
American working class girding its
loins for final conflict with capital
! ism.

erS Association of Detroit.
The association figures, covering
about two-thirds of the working popu.
lation OF Detroit, show in the last IL
months a fuctuation in the number
employed from 129,104 at the end Of
the christmas month to 270,395 in
February and down again to 224.S37
in June. More than half the workers
employed at the peak were unem-
ployed in the last week Of December
while sixth Of them were again out
Of Job In June.
Figures Talk.
These figures mean that taking De-
troit as a whole about 100000 workers
necessary to peak production were not
on the payrolls in the last week Of
the year and that nearly 10000 Of
those employed in February had been
laid off by June.
Employment in Detroit has been on
the upgrade since June, the advance
to August adding somewhat over TO-
900 to the payrolls. But the level is
still go under August 1925. U. s..
department of labor figures for en-
ployment in auto plants thruout the
country show a gain OF slightly more
than NJ over August 1925. The de-
partment's index of employment in
the auto industry does not show quite
such violent changes as in Detroit.
Fluctuations in employment In De-
troit and turnout the automobile in
