SEARCHLIGHT ON THE AUTO
INDUSTRY

Testimony of automobile workers
before the presidents commission in
Detroit recently destroyed any linger-
ing chance that the public could be
made to believe that the auto industry
is the workers paradise" Those
with experience ikened it to an en-
tirely different place.
Auto workers, they said, are speed
ed up to the extreme limit of physical
endurance, even of the young. Their
pay is scanty, and made uncertain by
a bonus system" which the men can
not understand. Employment varies
from month to month, even from week
to week. And over all, there is the
shadow of spy system which Het-
ternich might have envied.
Speed-up in the Ford plant is so
severe, witnesses testified, that men
frequently spend an hour of their own
time in the plant before time to be-
gin, laying out their materials.
Another witness told how, in 1880,
10 men in the Kelsey-Hayes Wheel
Co. turned out 100 wire wheels per
hour. The next year, the men were
speeded up until they had made it
$50 wheels an hour In 1888, 6 men
and a fours turned out 156 wheels
an hour. The wheel that cost the COM
pany 46 cents in 1880 costs II cents
now.
None of the witnesses professed to
understand the "group bonus" method
of fixing pay in many plants. They
said that no one could understand it,
except, perhaps, company lawyers
with charts of wage payments before

" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
We tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes Aippantly,
sometimes recklessly. =.

Ponderous people, writing to fill up
New Years editions, already have
their columns of historical dope ready.
They have picked out all the big
things that happened in 1884, which is
now about to wrap itself in icy sheets
and depart this life.
Well, there are plenty of happenings
And it isn't true that the world wags
along "in the same old way" It wags
lot differently.
Some of the big things that have
happened in 1884 have contributed to
the change in the way of wagging, but
the things that failed to happen
contributed quite as much to the
change.
The biggest thing that didn't hap
pen was that ten million people didn't
go back to work and that's the main
reason why there isn't any wagging
in the same old way and why there is
going to be an even greater change in
the manner and method of wagging
along.
Truth is there isn't any more wag-
ging at all. Wagging is leisurely
process and there isn't any more leis-
urely process in the business Of NOV
ing along.
There's terrific rush of speed to-
day in the readjustment of social,
economic and political affairs, even
though it may not always seem so.
Hold 1884 up against a background
of events in, for example, 1900.
The speed will be greater. Either
1885 will bring us speed of change
that will just about take our breaths
away, or else, if there is slowing in
1885, then 1886 will move fast enough
to make up for it.
The closing year was full of great
events and they were of great i'm
portance, but the things that didn't
happen are of equal Importance, his
torically. Someone ought to make a
catalogue of the things that didn't
happen.
Flash historians-those who get
up fast columns of breezy facts
seldom put the weight where it be-
longs.

Dorothy; he couldn't ask her to exist
on the meager pittance he was getting
from the Pryor company. He had TAX
en- the job simply because 1t gave him
so much time for writing, caring moth
ing at the time for the small salary
and the lack Of opportunity that it
held.
The unhappiness brought by his re-
solve showed plainly In the weary
droop Of Bob's shoulders and the tired
lines on his boyish face. He found 1t
hard to join in the small talk and fun
Of the New Years party that was 60
ing on. II Dorothy hadn't been 30 In
sistent upon his coming, he would have
remained away, for he was In no mood
for frivolity. And now, an even deeper
bitterness had crept into his heart, as
he watched the crowd pay tribute to
Everett Elstun, the literary lion Of
Raymondville.
He wondered how Dorothy had got
Elstun to her party; he was bit Of Z
recluse and seldom mingled with the
crowd. He was surprised as he saw
him walking across the room, with an
eager look upon his face.
How are you coming with your
writing?" he asked.
Bob gave 4 mirthless laugh. I've just
decided that as q writer I'm a pretty
good hod-carrier. The fact Of the mat
ter 10, Mr.. Elstun. rye made q New
Years resolution TO quit"
Giving up in q hurry?" Elstun said,
tride sharply.
i've been trying for almost two
years." Bob answered.
And you think few hours every
now and then for two years should
have brought you success? Listen,
boy, / was writing full time for more
than three years before l got hint
that I wasn't wasting ink"
In moment Bob was confessing his
real reason for quitting. Elstun lis
tened quietly. then he spoke. II, too,
had that problem" he said. There was
a girl; I felt sure she wouldn't be sat
isded with what / had to offer. For
tunately. l found out In time she want
Cd to share my struggles. Maybe the
girl you love feels the same way"

them. But all agreed that this scheme
of payment was used to enforce and
intensity the speed-up.
"The bonus system was designed to
take men off the payrolls," said one
witness. "If the men in the gang in
creased their speed, one of them lost
his job"
Espionage is so plain that it needs
no telling" said witness. "The So
called service men are only spies and
stool-pigeons." Another showed how
this works. "You rarely find Ford
men speaking to each other," he tes-
tilted. "The service men come along
in the lunch and say move and the
men move"
Such a system of driving and spy
ing would be damnable, even if vel
paid. 1t is not we'll paid. 1t never
paid the wages that were advertised
and every witness before the commits,
sion told how his wages had dropped
from year to year.
Only strong, militant union, back
ed by all the influence and power
which the federal government car
lend, will suffice to make the autt
industry human again. Speed the day

Fires and calamities and crimes
were not the things that marked the
course of the race in 1884. They had
Importance, mostly to those immed-
lately affected. They didn't do much

Last night, In summing up the old
year. he had come to the conclusion
that he was an utter failure, that he
might as well discard the idea Of be-
coming writer. Every story that he
had sent out had come back. Il was
true that a few editors had encour-
aged him-one Of the best known In
the country had told him to keep on.
that he had fne literary style. But
none of them had kept his offeringM

could do was to chuck the whole thing

with nothing to offer her but failure.
Bob knew that Dorothy Trent was
back of his resolution to quit the writ

loved him. They had been engaged
since their senior year at Northwest
ern. 1t was time that he should say
something about marriage; 1t was not
fair to hold her AZ he was doing. he
would have to get q position that

Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, of

Bob found that Elstun was right
Dorothy was aghast at the thought of
his giving up the work he loved. or
doubling that she would want to share
his poverty. 'It will be glorious to
help you work out your career" she
assured him.
So a new resolution was made that
called for success instead Of failure.
The New Year was going to bring Bob
the acceptances that he craved.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS
At this holiday season when fun
and merriment are so much to the
fore, it is we'll to consider the impor-
tance of public recreation for children
as well as adults.
Recreation everywhere in the world
is part of life. 1t is one of the great
essentials of balanced existence. Deny
it expression, and you have as a re-
suit, warped and one-sided personal
tiles. 1t has been noticed that in some
remote mountain regions, there is a
large amount of insanity or extreme
forms of religious emotionalism bor-
dering on insanity. And this has been
laid to the door of lack of wholesome
recreation and social contacts.
The support of parks, Fairgrounds,
and community centers, and the pro-
vision of competent leadership for
recreation are good investment of
tax money. For one man who steals
because his family is hungry, a dozen
boys go wrong because of bad COM
panionship and lack of recreational
environment
1t is natural for every youngster
to crave a little adventure. If his
community compels him to grow up
in a slum, where there are no ade-
quate Fairgrounds or other facilities
for wholesome adventure, he is likely
to satisfy his cravings for activity in
ways which are harmful to the COM
munity.
1t is the usual custom in Fascist
countries to replace the social serv-
ices by charitable grants; the Aus
trian Chancellor Schuschnigg there
fore is now appealing to the Austrian
people for winter aid"-on the IA
nous German model! Such appeals,
which only go to show that the gov
ernment is itself not able to help the
needy, are usually accompanied by
some praise of the government for
its own very scanty achievements. In
this case Schuschnigg has a special
achievement to point to, which de-
serves to be remembered because it
shows once again very clearly how
little substance there is in many Fas-
cist assertions.
The official appeal says: "The fed
eral government has in the past few
months done everything to create
work and employment, and has in fact
been successful in reducing the num-
Der of unemployed by more than
1000"
In the same issue of the "Reichs-
post" the governments organ-and
actually on the same page-the chan
cellor himself writes a note on the
"winter aid" in which the reader is
astonished to find the following SEN
tence in italics: "By the middle of
October -. the number of unemployed
had fallen to 243,36O. If this is COM
pared with the figure for October Is,
1888, it will be seen that the number
of unemployed has fallen by about
$4,000"
This note happens to speak the
truth and is of course Schuschnigg's
purely personal remark; the official
appeal signed by the same gentleman
is naturally a government affair, and

Tell Rotarians

I. =. Birdzell, general counsel of the

and former justice Of the supreme
court In North Dakota, Thursday
told the Bismarck Rotary club that q
new confidence in banks has been in
stilled In the American people since
the passage Of the depositor's insur-
Ance law.
Outlining the condition Of banks
prior to President Roosevelt's inaug-
uration, Birdzell pointed out that the
subsequent closngs were inevitable
because Of the heavy Withdrawals Of
deposits and the increase Of from 300
to 400 per cent in postal savings Over
one billion dollars Of federal money
has been placed in almost so per
cent Of the operating banks in the
country to stabilize the banking
structure, he said. In North Dakota,
