Sherman Outfit In
New TaCtiCkS Work
to Cut Labor Wage
BY HARVEY O'CoNNoR.

WASHINGTON, June % OPP
Evolving from crude, stiff-arln tactics
in defeating the workers to the more
polished form of selling 'labor en-
gineering" services to the employers,
the Sherman Corporation. Engineers,
is still effectively on the job of fight
ing unionism and opposing it's legit-
innate aspirations.
Nor are the southern textile mill
operators, flourishing to the south of
Washington in the Carolinas and
Georgia, slow to take advantage of
Sherman's services. The latest con-
tribution from this corporation. whose
first appearance on the industrial
field was in the form of labor spy
agency, is advice to mill owners on
how to speed up their spinners and
weavers without paying them wages
for their added productivity.
How to Get More.
w. r. Birdsall, who bears the fancy
title of consulting engineer for Sher-
man, in an address before the Fall
River, Mass, mill treasurers and ex-
ecutives, reprinted in Textile World,
tells them how to get more out of
their workers. Birdsall contends that
if spinners will be forced to attend to
double the number of spindles Gus
tomary in twice the time usually al
lotted for round of visits to the
frames, that labor costs can be re-
duced from e to IL cents a pound.
The mill girl would tend 1000 spin
dies, instead of half that number or
less, and save for her employer in
wages far more than he will lose
through waste and lower production
per spindle caused through the lower
ed attendance. Plotting a wage of
$14 week, or so cents an hour, which
he considers very fair, forgetting
tradition, union restrictions and other
factors" the engineer finds that labor
costs can be depressed to IL cents a
pound against 13 cents for fixed
charges. Labor costs would then be
but 10 per cent of the total produc-
ton costs in spinning.
Fourteen looms to weaver is
Birdsall's ideal against the S-12 al
lotted now, leaving another IL cent
pound saving for the mill owner to
add to his profits. Weavers should be
allowed to run as many looms as they
can, he contends. The IS per cent eff
ficient group of weavers should be al
lowed to operate "a looms, with addi-
tional piece rate pay, despite the pos
sible harm to the workers health and
his probable early retirement to the
industrial scrap-heap because of toe
much speed-up.
! Birdsall ends by piously quoting
President Green Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor to the effect that
'the improvement of the worker is
tied in with cooperation toward
greater productivity Naturally he
did not add that Green postulated CO.
operation with the trade union of the
industry, in this case the United Tex
tile Workers.

Motor Spring Facts for
More Comfort i'm Riding

Discussing automobile springs and
their value for comfort in driving, in
the Journal of the Society of Automo-
tive Engineers, F. G. Mock, research
engineer, calls attention to an err
roneous belief which must be discarded
in the interest of better riding condi-
lions. 'This is the impression that
interleaf friction can be a satisfac-
tory means of taking up spring action.
More than 60 pounds of friction per
spring in cars weighing from $500 to
$500 pounds will result in noticeably
sitter riding" says Mr.. Mock. 1.-THE
greatest improvement in riding COM
fort that can be made with reasonable
expense on the average privately
owned car today is to grease the
springs well, put ON spring covers and
automatic lubricators to maintain this
condition and then fit shock absorbers
which resist spring recoil, but do not
make the springs sitter on the bumps"

Small TolDn Has Many
Advantages OUer City

OF all the vanities known to human
weakness few are harder to under
stand than the vanity of city over
it's own ungainly bigness. There is
nothing natural or commendable in
living by the million. On the whole,
it is rather unintelligent. The people
who do it have less than normal light,
air and room. They butt like busy
ants and hang on each other like
swarming bees.
The best that can be said for an
diversified community is that it has
done well in roads, parks, schools, mu-
seums, theaters, policing, fire-fghting
and transportation to atone for the
mistake of being so big to begin with.
But the man with an acre Of his own
has advantages that only the Occa-
sional city millionaire-who also has
his own acreage outside of town-can
begin to rival.-Chicago Journal.

Study Housing Problems

Thousands of men and women
throughout the country are forming
better homes committees to study local
housing problems and problems of
home and community life and to work
out solution of those problems from
the point of view OF families of limited
incomes. John j. Tfgert, commissioner
of education, says regarding the better
homes movement:
The Importance of home life among
our fundamental American institutions
cannot we'll be over emphasized I'm
fortunately, some of our recent adven-
lures have had a tendency to destroy
the influence Of the home. The home,
more than the school or church, re-
lates to the individual in an intimate
and personal way.
Individual initiative is an outstand-
ing American characteristic. There
fore, the creation and building of
homes and home life contribute in a
very vital way to the ongoing Of our
American civilization"

PUT BEST TIRES
ON REAR WHEELS
Spare Shoe Also Should
Have Its Turn OFF Duty,
Says Expert.

A question that is asked very often
by motorists has to do with the plac-
ing of tires to receive the greatest
mileage and service from them. There
Is some little difference of opinion
among tire users as to whether the
two best tires should be placed on
the front wheels or on the rear. One
group claims that the best tires should
be placed on the front, to eliminate or
minimize the danger of losing control
of the car in case of a blowout while
travelling at high rate of speed.
Danger Negligible.
Experience, gained by driving mil
lions Of tire miles under observation
by tire men, proves that the danger
from this source is negligible. and is
losing his head.
Efficient operation of car requires
good traction, and for this reason the
best tires should be on the rear
wheels. The tires that are more worn
should be on the front wheels.
{ In the case OF new or pract1cally
new spare tire, this should be used in
the following manner: At the end of
several thousand miles of driving ex-
anime the rear tires and select the one
that. shows the most wear and remove
1t, replacing it with the spare. Re
peat this operation.
Placing New Tires.
On new cars where usually there
are five new tires, they may remain in
the original positions until several
thousand miles have elapsed, then the
front tires should be put on the rear
wheels and vice versa. The fifth new
tire should have it's regular turn on
the car.

Good Citizen Takes
Pride in "Home Town"

Pride, as rule, is not commendable,
especially In the material things Of
life. Even worse than pride are the
false values that it creates. Pride in
an individual is self-destructive, If
permitted to run it's course unchecked,
out certain amount of pride is nee
essary for people to keep their self
respect and the respect of. their
friends. However, pride in our home
community may be pardoned-in fact,
Is needed, if the community is not to
lie dormant or go backward in the
competition that exists between towns
and cities. A community pride that
seesNn0 good in any other community
Is objectionable. A community pride
that does not recognize the favorable
points in every other neighbor defeats
its own purpose, that of advancing
the community in the eyes of others.
The thing most to be guarded against
Is not spirit Of boastfulness, al
though 1t exists In some citizens to a
degree that Is harmful to the commu-
nifty, but the opposite extreme which
causes citizens to feel that greater op-
portunities exist elsewhere. There is a
halfway ground on which all loyal citi-
zens may stand. We should guard
against either extreme dissatisfaction
and false pride, which is equally as
harmful, and all the while do all we
can, each in our own limited way, to
advance the interests Of the county.

Modern City's Great Need

The modern city is so new that 1t
has had scarcely time to find itself.
1t has brought into the life of the
people so many good things that in
general it has been accepted and ap-
proved. But leaders of thought should
give serious consideration to it's de-
fects and should attempt to restore
the good that happened to be dis
carded in its almost overnight de-
velopment If the old neighborliness
is gone forever, some salutary substi-
tute for it should be sought.-Ex-

Motor Enamel Improves
Appearance of Old Car

When overhauling the motor try
scraping all the oily dirt off the out
side surfaces, thoroughly clean with
gasoline and after drying paint it
with motor enamel. This enamel can
be obtained in either aluminium or
black and will decidedly improve the
appearance of an old motor, says the
American Automobile Digest. Then,
if the valve covers and all places that
ordinarily leak oil are kept tightly
fastened on, dust will not collect so
easily, and the usually neglected dirty
job Of making many small adjust
ments will be q pleasure.

Ten Timely Safety
Tips for Motorists

Ten timely anti-accident sug-
gestions are contained in a bull
letin issued by the National
Safety council, which credits
Charles A. Harnett, New York
state commissioner of motor
vehicles, with the following:
l. Look out for children. You
can never tell what they'll do,
and you're always in wrong IL
you hit one.
2. Don't pass standing troll
ley car. Some day the jury may
call it manslaughter.
3. Don't speed around corners
for it's a straight route to the
hospital.
4. Drive on the right side of
the road; it's the only safe side.
5. The fact that you had the
right of way won't bring any
body back to life-least of all
yourself. Use discretion.
6. Do not stop short without
giving warning. The other fell
low is no mind reader.
Z. Do not back up without
looking to the rear.
g.. Do not park or pass on
curve or hill. There's plenty Of
straight road.
8. Slow down when approach
ing a crossroad; it is nearly as
dangerous as a railroad crossing.
10. Be courteous to other
drivers and traffic officers. Cour-
tesy prevents accidents.
