power. "As as his labor really begins"

Ford's Eight Hours
THE worker slaves away for eight hours and
Fords specialists are busy devising means to
make him produce as much in eight hours as pos
sible. Why? Because the biggest profits are
derived when, by employing less labor, more pro-
ducts 4are created
But Ford pays his men $500 a day He only
works them eight hours Other capitalists pay
less money and work their men more hours. At
the same time Ford's profits are bigger, as a rule
than theirs. How come?
Ford's economists would analyze it in the fol
lowing way. Very simple The labor cost is the
big cost. The payroll at Highland Park is the
biggest daily item of expense Compared to this
the cost of the raw materials is small We can
sell Ford cars at low price and thus swell our
sales on, the market only if we can manage to
cut down the biggest cost of production, that is,
the labor cost. So the conveyor system came
into use. So the division of tasks was worked
out in detail So constantly improved machin-
labor installed. And so more cars were pro-
duced with less expenditure OF labor to produce
them and profits were consequently greater
All of this is quite true But it is only half the
story AS is usually the case with capitalist ex-
perts, they leave the social implications of their
calculations entirely out of account. They see
only the matters directly pertaining to their par
ticular business

During subsequent speeches, the
house frequently was in an uproar
as members clashed on the issues in
volved.
Debate proceeded under a calling
for it's close at IL o'clock tonight,
, with the Haugen bill to be taken up
