A ONE-YEAR PLAN
FOR AMERICAN
BUSINESS

Russia has fve-year plan, Ameri-
can leaders are talking of ten-year
| plan, and President Hoover recently
| spoke of a twenty-year plan. We pro-
pose the following one-year plan for
! the improvement of efficiency in bus
mess, thc betterment of industry and
the return of prosperity:
| l. A so per cent cut in office "con-
ferences." Anything that can be ac-
complished in conference in an hour
may be accomplished in dozen other
ways in fifteen minutes.
| 2. Fewer interviews and more work.
! 8. Immediate intimidation of golf
and adherence to the following pro-
gram:
(a) No discussion of the lighter
ball during business hours.
(b) A pledge by all business execu-
tives never to bring their clubs to the
Office.
| (c) A clause in all contracts requir-
ing that important executives who
find that golf interfcres with the jobs
give up their jobs.
! a. A definite and final discontinue
] ance of the custom OF settling business
matters at lunche, =. (The average
! luncheon takes about three hours and
nobody ever gets down to the point
anyhow
5. A return to the fashioned
business office that suggested work,
concentration and performance in
stead of Incidence and Oriental splen-
doris.
6. An understanding among young
women In business offices that they
are dressing for business and not for
the "Follies."
7. Immediate recognition of the fact
that nothing has slowed up business
more than the modern theory that
stenographers in business offices
should be chosen exclusively from the
standpoint of the ornamental
8. Less singing of "The Gangs All
Here" and more singing of "I've Been
Working on the Railroad"
8. Less faith in the theory that a
string of fiashy billboards, a good slo-
gan, a radio quartet and six vice
presidents are the chief essentials to
business success.
10. Fewer charts showing what
caused it and more action to prevent
its happening again.
IL. A law prohibiting the sale or
possession of blue or smoked glasses.
IL. The dungeon for chronic pessi-
mists, calamity howlers and the
worst-is-yet- t-to-come boys.
. 13. Shooting at sunrise for business
figures, some of them directors of
great corporations, who sell securities
short, contribute to the stock market
collapse and prolong business depres-
sion while posing as outstanding
Americans, good fellows and "best
minds"
Ia. A more general acceptance of
the idea that honesty is not something
you may consider yourself possessing
as long as there has been no grand
jury Indictment.
Is A return to plain home cooking
and more simple living.
16. More regard for the brother
hood of man by business men outside
of the Kiwanis Club luncheons, the
annual Chamber of Commerce ban.

II. A little more courage all along
the line.

Brady Widely Known
Few labor men were more widely
known than Peter Brady. He was
known among labor men of the
United States and Europe. AS col
onel in the reserve he was able to
support the cause of aviation. He
flew thousands of miles. Cross coun-
try trips long since lost their novelty
to him. Usually he flew in army
planes. His chief aviation interest
was in the development of New York
as an aviation center and he was as
sistant commissioner of docks, in
charge Of the big airport which he
had helped secure as chairman of the
mayors committee on aviation. He
also was member of the state avia-
tion commission and of the National
Aeronautical Association.
Brady's life had been almost a
Horation Alger story in reality. His
parents brought him to the United
States from Ireland at the age of nine.
After but year and half in school
the father died. Brady then went to
work. He sold papers. Then art in
terested him and he studied photo en-
craving as a means to the end. He
became a journeyman engraver and in
time was made business agent. That
ended his time for art and definitely
shaped his course He became presi-
dent of the New York Photo En-
gravers' Union and as the years
passed held many other offices in his
own union and in the Allied Trades
Council. His rise to leadership in the
New York Photo Engravers Union
brought him into contact with
Matthew Woll and the two have for
wears been constant and close friends
Was to Address Legion
President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor, was
one of Brady's closest friends. There
was a mutual admiration, as we'll as
a mutual friendship. President Greer
had commissioned Brady to attend the
American Legion convention in De
roitt to represent the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor and Brady, as usual
had decided to fly to the convention
1t was at the outset of the trip thai
he was killed, within a few minutes
after the take-off and while flying a
a rate of about 200 miles an hour.
Brady's greatest achievement wa:
the founding and building of the Fed
Grafton Bank and Trust Company
This great financial institution wa!
launched in 1923 in a meeting held il
Washington Irving high school Th'
stock was over-subscribed. Success
seemed indicated from the start
When the bank was opened Gov. Al
fred E. Smith was one of the speak
ers. The late Samuel Gompers was
proud participant in the ceremome
and the first depositor. Today tn
bank has several branches IN othe
parts of the city, radiating the infiu
ence of the parent institution whic
has remained at 34th street an
Eighth avenue.

Made Friends Everywhere

Brady was intensely social. He
made friends everywhere. Perhaps 1T
was this great capacity for friendship
that led him into politics, where ne
was an outstanding figure. The same
capacity stood him in good stead IN
his active participation in the long
struggle for Irish freedom. He had
time for everything and he put his
full energy into every undertaking
His friends called him dynamo. But
always the trade union movement was
his first interest and it's policies were
the policies by which all other move
ments were measured. He was loyal
to the movement as he was to his
| friends.
The depression of 1914 lasted s
months.
| The depression of 1921 lasted IA
months.
The depression of 1924 lasted IL
months.
All came to an end except the pres
ent one--it will, too!
