Industrial Psychologists Aid Employers

The industrial psychologist" is
being more and more widely employed
by American firms to induce the
workers to be more satisfied with
their jobs, to reduce the labor turn
over, and to measure the workers
efficiency. While some of the work
in this field has scientific value, the
mask of science is also used to cover
class collaboration propaganda Of
various kinds.
How to Speed Up Workers.
One industrial psychologist, en-

has pointed to Europe as an example
of how people can be made happier
by adapting them to their work. Re-

this sort, the New York Times says:

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April 23.-
Has the Farmer-Labor Party of Min
lesota become an instrument con-
.rolIed for personal advancement by
Senator Shipstead? This question
has been agitating the minds of all
sincere builders of the farmer-labor
movement since the close of the re-
cent state convention.
Shipstead maintains silence on his
intentions and even the capitalist
journals wonder whether these inten-
lions are honorable or not. Having
unanswered himself into the favor
able position where he can dictate
platform and policy to the party,
Shipstead now tceters on the fence,
not having made mp his mind whether
to throw in his lot openly with the
republicans, whose senate caucus he
helped organize and with whom he
has consistently voted, or to maintain
his stranglehold on the party organ
lied and built by the toll and devo-
ton of the working and farming
masses of the state.
In contradistinction to the old poll
teal parties, which maintain disci-
pline and dictation over their candi-
dates, the Hon. Henrik has throttled
the labor party into such weakness
that we witnessed at the convention
the sorry spectacle of group of
groveling Shipsteadites who trembled
lest there be included in the election
platform a single plank which it
might offend the delicate sensibilities
Of the senator to tread upon.
However, the same genuine work
ing class elements who in the con-

put with less fatigue than formerly.
In mass tests it was found that mine
workers supplied with good ventila-
ton produced fifty per cent more
work. In factory mass tests it was
found that if rest pauses were taken
on an official schedule, instead of
being left to the individual workers,
the hourly production rose from 16
pieces to rs pieces when working ten
minutes and resting two"

(ers and determined to fight for the
class interests of the workers and
farmers. Knowing the limitations of
even genuine labor party, which at
best can only bring about reforms in
the corrupt capitalist system, they
are nevertheless determined to break
away the workers from the old line
political organizations by building
such genuine labor party and secur-
ing through it whatever benefits may
be possible for the industrial and
farm workers.
From all over the state, progressive
forces are rallying to the battle and
their next step will be the filing of
William Watkins for senator on the
farmer-labor ticket. William Wat
kins was proposed by the minority Of
the Nominating Committee in the
state convention for U. S. senator, in
opposition to Shipstead, and was sup
ported by more than one-third of the
delegates. 1t will be remembered
that the Nominating Committee min
ority presented the name of William
Watkins as one who has at all times
worked for the building of genuine
farmer-labor party, without seeking
personal rewards or advancement, in
contrast to the record Of Shipstead
who is charged with having betrayed
the interests Of the workers and
farmers voting against the Heflin
resolution calling for the withdrawal
of the marines from Nicaragua, and
in lining up the republicans in or

cation for the building of real farm

he said
"The degree to which any institu7

which capital, labor and management
are coordinated in serving the public.
This means that the dominating in
fluence is the collective endeavor of
every Individual on the payrolls,

into the field, particularly to the

up and strengthen the movement to
help organize the piceting where
mines are in operation, and to make

made extensive preparations for the
organization of women's committees

struggle and took steps to extend the
miners relief activities in every city
