More than 5000 foremen in man.
ufacting plants of the General Mo-
tors Corporation have taken special
training in the last few months to
learn the science of industrial rela-
tons, especially as it pertains to
closer cooperation with their men.
These foremen, regarded as key
men in correcting industrial miSun-
derStandings, have returned to their
posts with deeper appreciation of
the guiding impulses of human be-
havior on one hand, and broad
phases of industrial economics or
the other. The instruction is in
tended to define the position of the
foreman under collective bargaining
rights that employees now have with
management as well as to make
foremanship more responsive in re-
laying ideas up or down through
plant organization.
The courses originating in the
General Motors Institute at Flint,
Mich, first were conceived seven
years ago, but the current training
is far more extensive and widely at
tended than any previously offered.
instruction continues several weeks
Major Albert Sobey, director of
the institute, who heads a highly
trained faculty giving foremanship
training in addition to many other
technical courses, states that the
rapid development of employe as
SociationS makes such specialized
foremanship training imperative.
Foremen who are conveniently near
Flint attend the conferences at the
institute. In remote centerS, facul-
ty members visit the plants and lead
the foremen conferences. In some
cases, these conferences are led by
members of the plant organization
who have received special training
at the institute. All sessions are
Limited to twenty-five men, so that
personal questions and problems can
be analysed. Standardized text
sheets written especially for this
study are used. General discussion
helps to clarity perplexing situations
presented during every conference.
Specifically, the aims and opera
ton of employe representation are
analysed from the viewpoints of the
worker; differences in individual de-
SireS and incentives are studied
Ways and means to reach a better
understanding are discussed to in
sure improved supervision policies
Cooperative methods, the judging
of men, group morale, transmitting
orders and other vital subjects re-
ceive special attention. The fore
men also study corporation organ
ization, planning, control of mate
rails and waste, equipment handling
and the science of personnel work
so that management problems can
be appreciated.
In reality, this training is a
clearing house of ideas, policies and
experience" said Major Soboy.
Here opinion is crystalized in order
to arrive at co-ordinated thinking
on the latest phases of industrial
relations. The results to date have
been most encouraging.

LASALLE MODEL
Car Built Along Lines Sug.
geSted by Buyers in
QUESTIONABLE.

Prior to the designing of the new
LaSalle, engineers and sales Off
Gals of the Cadillac Motor Car
Company made a study of the an
Swers given on thousands of ques-
tionnaries returned by buyers of cars
in the upper medium price bracket.
These missionaries proved con-
clusively that the quality of de-
pendability was the first conSidera-
ton on the part of the buyer and
was the initial requirement de-
manded in 1866 per cent of the
questionnaires. Operating economy
was second with 69.7 per cent, fol-
lowed by safety with 507.
Comfort, appearance, ease of con-
troll, Smoothness and speed were ad-
ditional qualities listed in the order
given by car owners in the upper
medium price class who answered
the QUESTIONABLE.
The new LaSalle was designed
to meet this representative demand
on the part of the motoring pub
lic," said j. G. Chick, Cadillac gen.
eral sales manager. "Its parts are
made and fitted to Cadillac's es-
tablished high standards of pre-
cision workmanship, which insure
continuity of satisfaction and trou-
ble-free service"
Several voluntary letters sent into
the factory recently by LaSalle own
ers testify to the operating and
maintenance economy of the La
Sale. In several instances owners
have reported fourteen miles to the
gallon and better; total fabrication
costs have averaged approximately
three-tenths of a cent per mile.

LIMA. Peru, November 3.-A treaty
for settlement of the Leticia contro-
versy between Peru and Colombia
was approved today by the Peruvian
Congress.
The vote ended, in so far as Peru
was concerned, the conflict initiated
September /. 1882. when Peruvian
civilians seized the border town of
Leticia.
1t climaxed two weeks of secret dis
cussion in Congress, where the affair,
which seriously jeopardized the peace
of South America, was heatedly dis
cusSed.
Alfredo Herrera. deputy from Lima
and one of the last speakers in de-
fense of the protocol signed at Rio
de Janeiro, said that agreement did
not embody the solution he personally
would have desired for the Leticia
incident, but the world pressure
brought to bear left possible only
peaceful solution.
He added that the protocol conse-
Grated an honorable peace and meant
triumph for the essentials of the
Peruvian viewpoint.
The final vote was taken at public
session of the Congress.

Winners of huge Sweepstake for
tunes have habit of dropping from
sight Soon after fortune has favored
them with fabulous sums in return
for 81 or 50 lottery bet. many of
the lucky ones collect their sudden
wealth and disappear.
Such is the record Of Sweeps win
ners, as developed in an investigation
prompted by the rich hauls made this
week by American holders of lucky
tickets in the Irish Sweepstakes on
the Cambridgeshire Handicap at New
market. England.
Former laborers and clerks, finding
themselves thrust by fate into the
position of capitalists, change their
addresses. friends, and entire mode of
life. Many are never heard from
again. Foreigners in many cases re-
turn to their homeland, preferring to
spend the remainder of their lives
where they were born-at the same
time avoiding the necessity of paying
the United States Government a good
portion of their winnings in taxes.
Two Stay on Jobs.
Two attractive young women shared
ticket that won $35 900 in the Irish
Sweeps last March. Today they are
still at their old jobs here, operating
tabulating machines for the Interna-
tional Business Machines Co. Ruth
Marshall and Eleanor Cabaret in
vested their money, took a short vaca-
ton, then settled down to their usual
routine of life.
Sweepstakes winners should live
like they always have" Miss Marshall
said. They should not change their
lives just because they have suddenly
come into lot of money. My win
ming last Winter certainly has made
me happy, but haven't changed my
life one bit. OF course, all the money
we won has been a blessing, but we
haven't abused it. That's what win
ners OF these prizes have to be afraid
OF. They have to be careful. They're
not used to all that wealth and 1t can
easily ruin their entire lives"
In June, 1888, Miss Louise M. Popp.
employed by the New York Telephone
Co., won $4,000 in the Irish Sweeps.
