PRODUCERS STRIVE
TO REDUCE WASTE
Use of By-products. Is Also
Extended in Economy
Campaign.
BY J. C. ROYCE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
. NEW YORK, October 30.-Profit
margins must be widened, and it does
not matter on which side of the busi-
mess fabric the widening takes place:
That is the conclusion that big pro-
'ducers have reached all over the country.
One of the three largest corporations
in the world-+the United States Steel
Corporation-7-aild its subsidiaries, have
just concluded a period devoted to an
attempt to keep the waste basket of
the industry en1pty."
The results will add hundreds of
thousands of dollars annually to the
net income of the, corporation. It will
permit the sale of goods at figures ad-,
'vantageouS to the consumer and will
stimulate consumption and activity in
"a score Of supplemental lines. The
largest saving made In this period was
lin time, and time is money, not fig
uratively but actually. -
T With wages high and selling prices
low, waste has been the deciding factor
between profit and loss in many con-
Germs. The margin has been widened
by efficiency of machinery and equip
ment, by increase in personal effective
ness of employees and by utilization of
by-products.
|. The meat packers, for example, are
utilizing every by-product, down to the
long hairs in calves ears. Waste has
been turned into profit by the use of
gases from cement kilnS and blast
furnaces. These are utilized to produce
heat, light and power, and the 25 per
l cent Of. the coal which went up in
smoke in, the old beehive coke ovens
now is turned into by-productS almost
las valuable as the coal itself; including
tar, ammonia sulphate, liquid ammonia
and benzol. About half the gas is used
to heat the new by-product coke. ovens
themselves.
: Blast furnace Stag, once problem for
disposal, is used in the manufacture of
cement and concrete. .--..,r asl..
The latest efforts, however, have been
directed at the office and executive side
OF the business. Wastes have been traced
to traditional methods of MANAGEMENT,
surplus of labor, lack of labor saving
devices, lack of Standardization Of forms
'arld spoilage of materials. IT has been
found that elimination of waste In
offices does not consist in using short
pencils and saving paper and ink. II
is wasted time that counts.
! The greatest, effort at present is to
plan the work of each Office so that the
most may be accomplished in the least
Time. SaleSmen's routes are being PLAN
ned with time salvage in mind and
many barriers which have been erected
. between departments are being torn
down 70 obVlate duplication of effort.
