10 900 cards. Ten thousand cards may
mean a full days work in the issued
auditing division. And II ones average
falls below the average demanded one
faces demotion. Demotion means less
pay. Less pay--who can Judge the
value of few dollars to some of those
who audit these cards?
Cards Vary In Number.
Fifteen years ago'the employees in the
division found that the number of cards
handled daily varied with individual
ability or inclination to work. So they
suggested that salaries be paid on q
production basis: that standard be
fixed by finding the average number OF
cards handled daily by all the employees
Then those who fell below this average,
and those who excelled 1t, would be paid
in proportion to the work they did. AS
the money was appropriated In lump
sum. it was available for salaries fixed
by piece work
But when the reclaSsification act went
into effect, the system underwent a
change. Instead of there being fixed
average, making set standard by which
production of individuals could be
measured, new and higher standards
were set up at the end of every six
months by taking the average daily
production during that time. To meet
this new and higher standard. and with
the hope of surprising it. every employe
worked harder during the next six
months, But at the end OF that time
their increased effort had resulted only
in raising the general average. The
same story would be repeated for the
next six months. It was like telling a
man he would be paid SO day for fold
ing 5000 letters, plus 50 for every addi-
tional 1000 letters folded. and then,
finding that he was folding 5000 letters

of the clerks Il has In a number of
instances caused serious illness and
nervous breakdown. Indeed, In this
respect matters are unusually serious,
for the salaries paid. In view Of the
present cost of living, are so low. as a
rule, as to be a constant source of
worriment which results in panic when
demotion stares the clerks in the face
In one instance. 1t may be stated,
just to give an idea Of how matters
are. very recently. a clerk who has
faithfully served the Government for

quired for her salary has assembled be-

there had been no diminution In the
quantity and quality of her daily work
1t is true. too, that other clerks whose
output has been measurably increased
are still receiving the same salaries that
were paid them before they increased
their output, or but very meager in
crease"

this discomfort organized itself for re-

may be represented and the laborer
have just compensation for his labor.
Many ways to set things right are
proposed. Almost every week brings
some new theory.
A sensible man finds little comfort
even though so many remedies for the
great evil is set before him. There are
some fundamental principles which
should not be overlooked by the work
ing class of our day.
1t is well, first of all, for the work
ing classes to remember that brains
command money, and capital should
remember that skilled labor demands
money, as there must be a trained

mind back of a skilled hand.
There is duty that the employer
is to give him by way of compensa-
ton, the full value of his labor.
The disposition on the part of some
rich employers to grind the forces of
the poor, taking advantage of their
necessities, and securing their services
at half what they are worth, is a
shameful wrong, and it will sooner on
later ripen in a revolt.
You might just as we'll try to stay
by uplifted hands, the storm as il
scars along the mountain slopes, as
to always hold in subjection the man
who feels that he has been wronged
Every man should receive what his
labor is worth.
Even if the employer does not pile
| up wealth so fast. But all labor must
learn to be orderly in their organiza.
tions and show to their employer that
they mean business in a business way
and that they expect living wage
in order that they may properly feed

upon them.
