CAMERA TO INCREASE sPEEDUP


A new type Of camera and pro-
lection apparatus has been devel-
oped by the Bedaux Company and
the Eastman Kodak Company. The
new apparatus was designed for the
purpose of providing a "yardstick
for the measurement Of manpower. -
For the first time, the element
of time in human labor will be
measured without the use of a
clock. Motion pictures can be taken
Of workers performing Ger. lain tasks
which can be used as the basis for
an exact analysis of evsry one of
their movements. From this analy-
sis the efficiency experts of the
Bedaux Company, who are notori-
GUS for their speed-up schemes. will
deduce the time it takes to perform
an operation or JOB.
The apparatus will be utilized to
accelerate the workers pace To
conceal the real purpose Of the de-
vice, Mr. Douglas S. Keogh, presi-
dent of the Bedaux concern, gave
out the statement that it would
make possible an increase in the
output Of workers without adding
to the strain of the job" But every
worker who has been subjected to
the torture of eliminating so-called
false and unnecessary motions
knows that every such device is
used to speed-up work to an I'M
bearable tempo.

STEAM TABLES

An interesting example of how
theory sometimes lags behind prac-
tice, and how it has to be prodded
by chronological advance, was fur
nished at the Third International
Steam Table Conference. It was
disclosed that research on the
properties of seam was at last
catching up with recent improve
ments in steam power plants and
generating turbines.
Steam tables are complications of
the properties Of steam expressed
in figures that show the variation
/ of pressures and innumerable other
data. From these tables engineers
can compute the efficiencies Of
power generating plants while they
are still in the blue print stage.
The maximum efficiency of a plant
depends to large extent on these
tables.
But during the last two decades
steam generators and turbines out
stripped the engineers knowledge
of the properties of steam. Results
had to be achieved by trial and
error methods.
The movement for more expert
mental work with steam began
about twelve years ago. To-Day
great deal of the work has
finally been coordinated. Steam
tables used throughout the world
are now in agreement. 1t is now
possible to build turbine in one
country and have it pass efficiency
tests in another country. Formerly
different tables were used in the
various countries and this often
led to completely different results
on the supposed efficiency of steam
power plants.

The duPonts and War

CENATOR NYE, chairman of the Mu-
" nitions Investigating Committee, is
delighted with the letter of the E. I. du-
Pont de Nemours & Co. on the most eff
fective means to prepare for war.
Because of the huge war preparations
of the Roosevelt government. the Nye Committee,
to further these rapid steps to war; found it neces-
sary, to win support to skim the surface of the
war billions. When the investigation began to
touch the powerful munitions trusts it quickly
adjourned, TO give them an opportunity to cover
up, and to enter effectively into the war OBJ
jectives of the Roosevelt regime
The du Pont letter makes two general proposals,
besides revealing numerous facts which concern us
in the struggle against First the du Points de-
clare the major problem is adequately utilizing the
whole machinery of the munitions and other in
dustry to prepare for in the most effective man
ner in which they offer to help the committee to
the fullest Second with the outbreak of war they
propose central mobilization of all industry dur
ing the time Of war under the control of central
apparatus with the munitions manufacturers in
control. While rafting of some phrases against
war profits, the letter points out that to preserve
war profits is the central motive and care must be
taken not to interfere with this objective or dis
aster lies ahead. The du Points remember the 458
per cent dividends they handed out (Which nowhere
states their rate of profit as the result Of the
last world saughter).
The war industry, the letter further shows, is
not restricted to the arms industry alone but COM
priSes the whole economic structure of the coun-
try, and they further reveal that plans have been
thoroughly worked out, under the Roosevelt regime,
Immediately to transfer the country to war basis
Knowing little about war, the du Points then
discuss the basic causes of war under capitalism
They refute the charges that arms manufacturers
make wars though they fail to point out they make
the most out of them and help to quicken the
tempo War is caused by economic and political
nvalres' say the du Points
That is only part of the truth All of the capital
list powers are driving to now in an effort to
get out of the crisis to propel capitalism OUT of its
difficulties by new world slaughter for the dom-
nation and re-division of the worlds colonies and
markets. Understanding this the du Pont letter in
Inmates that Roosevelt is following the right path
to enable Wall Street to get its share of profits and
plumber out of the next slaughter, and that it is
fully ready to cooperate for the most effective
butchery Of the workers for this aim.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-11-20

But this is a deliberate fraud. Because the en-
ployars cannot raise prices at will. If they raise
prices the forces of competition purchasing power,
markets, and the fundamental price relationships
Of all commodities, which determined by the
law Of value independent of the wishes viii Of
the employers, will force them to bring the price
down again. The employer in the end will have
to take a reduced profit. But the workers will
retain the advantage Of their higher wages. They
will be able to buy more goods.
THUS the 3O-hour week without pay cuts would
cut into profits and give the workers a larger
slice Of the national income. Only the bosses would
lose by it. But why should the workers worry if the
bosses lose? The crisis would not be aggravated
by this because it's deepening will continue the
basic laws of capitalism and private property con-
tinue to destroy production the basis of the
inherent contradictions Of capitalist society
What would happen is that the living stand
ards of the masses would improve, the workers
would have a step forward in defeating the
capitalist way out of the crisis, the way of putting
the whole burden the backs Of the workers,
the way of increasing profits by increasing work
ing class starvation.

The Textile Situation

THE textile workers are showing in
creased dissatisfaction with the set
Element of the general textile strike which
left all of their demands in the hands of
the National Textile Labor Relations
Board set up by President Roosevelt The move
ment for re-Strike is growing. The silk workers
of Paterson at their membership meeting voted for
strike action. Thirty thousand dye workers are al
ready striking.
Francis German, leader of the United Textile
Workers Union, who ended the general strike in a
complete defeat for the textile workers demands
now admits that the restrke of the textile workers
is being prevented with the greatest of difficulty
German declared Saturday there is great danger
of renewed strike action
The maneuvers of German and the Textile
Board of Roosevelt part of the general drive of
the employers of all industries and of the Roosevelt
government to lower the workers living standards
have brought the textile workers to the brink of
starvation.
But the Gorman-Green leadership of the A. F.
of L. are assisting the company union wage smash
ing drive of the Roosevelt government by holding
the textile workers back from strike preparations
These A. F. of L. miseaders singing the old re-
frain they have been singing since the beginning
of the NR.A.-that the textile workers should con-
tinue to bring complaints before the Roosevelt
boards. 1t is these N.R.A boards now hearing the
complaints, which are installing the company union
and pushing through the blacklist and evictions and
increased stre5chout. They employers boards
The elections held by the Paterson silk workers
at their membership meeting of the Paterson Silk
Workers Union (U.TW), is one indication that the
workers are determined to prepare strike against
the wage cut, speedup drive The workers not only
voted for strike They insisted that the elected shop
chalrmen, in cooperation with the executive board
should be in charge of the strike. They elected
rank and file delegation to the national conven-
ton of the American Federation of Silk Workers
(U.T.W0. They defeated Eli Keller, representative
OF German in Paterson, who has been trying tn
prevent the silk strike there, and his entire clique
m the elections This shows the mood of the work
ers.
The re-strike movement of the textile workers,
under the leadership of the rank and file will win
the textie workers their demands and not reliance
on RoosEelt's employers boards.

A Reactionary Argument
Against 3O>HOur Week

MEETING in Washington, the most re-
W. dictionary industrial monopolists of
the U. S. Chamber of Commerce yester-
day issued a national release which argues
this way:
eff carried to extremes, curtailment
of working time may p-oong a depression
increased costs OF operation can be recovered only
by increasing prices or decreasing profits .
further reductions in working time with upward
present reimbursement in price relationships and
bring about decline in total business"
now yainly all this polite language tries to cloak
IL the realities of the class struggled
What does this argument amount to? 1t states
that if the workers get higher wages the employers
will get less profits That is undeniably true. But
then it states that if the employers get less profits
they will have to raise prices. And if they cannot
raise prices, they say, that would intensity the
present reimbursement in price relationships and
bring about decline in total business" thus ag-
gravating the crisis
What is false in this argument? 1t is the assump-
ion that what is bad for the employers is bad for
everybody, that what is bad for the handful of
capitalists is also bad for the great majority of the
people.
Suppose an employer is forced to grant a 3O-hou
week with reduction in pay, then what? This
will cut into his profits. Then say the employers,
he will have to raise prices.
