VACATION F D R
MECHANICS
PRAISED
By b. C. FORBES

Congratulations to the McCor.
micks and the International Har-
vester Company on their decision to
grant all their 10000 employees a
two.week vacation with pay this
year. The estimated cost--$1 ,000,-
000-will be abundantly repaid by
more and better work from the
employees.
Which big concern will be the
next to adopt this humane vaca-
tion-with-pay plan? The Harvester
Corporation is extraordinarily well
managed. 9th e arrangements
need not hesitate to take a leaf
out of it's book.
Henry Ford, you are told In
Detroit. Is restricting rnther than
expanding his side-line operations,
and concentrating more directly
upon the turning out of his cars.
The Briggs Company is stated to
have taken over from Ford tho
building of enormous quantities
of bodies.
ChrySler. on the other hand, is
said. to be planning TO get control
of an important company having
a very large bodybuilding plant
in Detroit.
General Motors is already very
largely self-contained. meaning
that it owns or controls huge plants
turning out materials entering its
cars. The public would be as
founded were it to learn how much
General Motors sells to other auto
mobile manufacturers.
Prices Lower
Not many surprises" are looked
for at the New York Automobile
Show. Most manufacturers have
already announced their new mod
els, thus gaining more individual
publicity than would have been
received had all the interesting
developments been held back for
the annual exhibition. The trend
has been toward lower prices, es-
pecially in the cheapest makes.
Does Mr.. Ford's engagement of
10000 additional workers, to keep
the plant going six days a week,
although each man will work only
five days. suggest that this method
will be wisely adopted by and by
to take care of Americas surplus
labor supply?
Meanwhile, the un-American
seven-day week should be abolished
by the railroads and others still
perpeLrating it. Where a day off
regularly each week could not be
arranged--as in the case of railway
agents at isolated stations sys-
tenn could be provided for allow.
ing these men a longer rest once
a month. Seven-day work is no
longer defensible.
All Feel Proud
From NJ. G. Stokes. Western
Spring. H.:
81 am a reader of your column
and / read where YOU said not to
buy stock in a company where
their own employees curse them,
Western Electric stock should sell
good then, for we all here at
Circero are proud of our company
and there are at present about
$4,000 of u.s."
Isn't that tribute any manage
ment should feel proud to receive?
