Being Cypped


IT tell you, Weinberg, that we
are being gypped in front Of our
very backs. Never in all my life
have I heard of such a thing.
What's going on anyhow?
For Gawd'S sake, Weinberg,

share my worries"
Mr.. Weinberg lit a fat cigar
and settled back in his chair
with all the grace of a paralytic
walrus.
"AN the things you say, I al

thing is as big a mystery as
Judge Crater or Milton Berle.

reason why we're losing money

Steinberg.
"And that is" continued Mr..
Weinberg, "the very thing you
were talking before. Time is
what's giving us the finger. Our
employees are stalling on their
jobs. The output is too slow.

being eaten up.
