Ford System Comes to Pullman Car Shop.

TINE great Pullman Car shops have
4 introduced the Ford system of pro-
duction. The cars are strung out in
line. The workers are driven to work
at top speed. There is no waste of
time any more by the workers NOV
ing from one job to the other as they
Anish their work. Once a day the
cars are pulled forward. The old sys-
tenn of contracting out the work at
definite rates is done away with. We
in the Pullman shops, are not told
any more in advance at what rates
we are going to be paid for our work
But no matter how we rush, and try
hard, and sweat,-at the end of the
week we find out that under the new
system we can make at the most
only six or seven dollars per day
while before, working much easier,
we were able to make eight and nine
dollars.
This means that while our produc-
tion increases, our wages are cut
down about 25 per cent.
The new system is certainly profit
able for lousy Lowden and other par
asites, who own the Pullman plant
but it is hell for the workers.
How does it happen that the work
ers accepted the change of the old
system of production for the new one!
Well, first of all, when the change
was made, no one asked us whether
we would agree to it or not And,
secondly, even now, after the change
is made, the bosses never ask us how
we like it. They simply forced their
new system on us.
Here is how the game was played
by the bosses:
During September of last year they
began to cut down work and dis
charged workers in the freight car
and passenger car departments. Then
they stopped all work in both of these
departments. The workers were
thrown into the street. Only the fore
men remained in the shops. They
still kept on the roll about 500 work
ers of the passenger steel erection
department. The discharge of all
workers opened the way for the in
PRODUCTION of the new system. There
was nobody in the shops to fight
against it. The Pullman management
did not set a definite day for the
opening of the shops, and for weeks
the hundreds of jobless workers who
were still on the rolls would come to
the gates asking for work.="N Nothing
doing today"-was the answer to them
for weeks. These jobless men were
used as a whip over the heads of the
few workers, who were hired back to
help the foreman in trying out the
new system.

WANT REPORTS
PRINTED WHEN
S0LONS MEET
Printing Commission Hopes to
Have Booklets Ready
in January

Efforts to have the reports of all
state departments and state institu-
tiQns printed and ready for distri
button by the time the Legislature
meets next January are being made
by the state printing commission and
James p. Curran, state printer.
They are trying to do two things,
one being to set 2 new record for
the completion Of the work and the
other to avoid . fine. The state
law provides that each state de-
partment and institution must file
its report with the governor by
September and that theSe reports
must be in the hands OF the printing
commission by October Is. Failure
of any department or institution
head to submit his report on time
subjects him to q fine Of S. for
each day his report Is late. Failure
of the printing commission to have
the reports printed promptly sub.
jects each member to SIS fine for
each day Of delay chargeable to the
commission. The result is that the
printing commission wants to get the
work out Of the way.
In the past it has been common
for the printed reports to be delayed
until after the legislative session is
nearly al over and legislative com.
mittees have been forced to search
for information which would be
easily available to them il the re-
ports were printed on time. Curran
said.
Two of the longest reports to be
printed already have been received
and will be availsble in the near
future. They are the report Of the
state treasurer and that Of the COM
missioner Of insurance.

10 Government

Mexico City. Aug. 6--LA.--The
economic boycott is making itself felt
in the capital while the surface calm
continues in the situation engendered
by the tremendous conflict between
the government and the Catholic
church in Mexico. The protest Of the
latter through the nerves of trade is
making itself increasingly potent.
A decided decrease in trade is
noted by many stores and shops, par
ticularly by those catering to women.
Some Of these estimate the reduction
in retail sales at as much as 40 per
cent Of normal.
Officials Discount Situation
Government officials have insisted
that the effect of the attempt TO
restrict all except necessary pur-
chases has been exaggerated and de-
olased their reports from other states
1ou 70 show any serious inroads on
the cOuntry's retail commerce.
Foreign business men and foreign
trade observers, however, regard the
situation as serious.
Meantime the deadlock between the
opposing forces continues.

at various places throughout the
country, for the most part the people
are going about their customary
duties, calmly awaiting Developments,
and the boycott remains the only &C.
tive opposition to the administra-
tion's policy.
Women are the foremost factors in
boycott. Some women, accustomed to
riding In fit4ts class street cars. at
present are riding IN second class
cars or walking.
The bulk Of men Of the working
snd moderate income classes are
buying less clothing. shoes and hats.
Stores report the trade Of wealthy
men 10 shout normal, but they say
this is not the case with wealthy
wives, who, like their poorer sisters,
are spending much less money.
Movies Are Hit
The moving picture theatres are
driving much smaller crowds.
The hewSpapers Of Mexico City are
not printing reports Of the boycott
situation, in Mexico City or In any
parts Of the country, but there are
indications from same sections that
business has been greatly reduced. It
