The most eagerly read book in Washington is the
thick list of corporation salaries at the House WAYS

it all day copying There is only one copy Of
the book. Already sucker list statesmen have been
seeking permission to photostate the complete list
which shows every corporation empoye the United
States receiving more than $4,000 year This fat

complained that their pay checks we're being held

He Has Comma Trouble

A LONG toward the end of the war James Gordon
Bennett hired him to be sports editor of his
Paris Herald. The Sparrow began by writing about
athletics, but soon drifted off into social topics and
pre- emily was running column largely concerned
with the gay shenanigans of visiting Americans
The Sparrow himself would not describe his COPY
as scholarly. He went through a serious spell of
comma trouble several years ago when young squirt
OF copy reader with ornate ideas about punctuat ton
and syntax told him commas would improve his style.
But the Sparrow soon said customers would put in
their own commas, and the editor gave orders that
nobody was to ruin his innocent orginalties with
school of journalism improvements.
The Sparrows copy goes as is and so does he
Dozens of Sparrow's old pals have died or cracked
up and gone to pot, though all from 20 to 40
years younger. They sprinters.
Nobody can count how many times the Sparrow
stayed up all night keeping death watch as they
used to call it, on some visiting fireman who
catching the boat-train to Cherbourg next morning.
They used to stay up the departing pal wouldn't
forget to wake up. The crowd would simply drop
nights sleep completely out of their schedule, but
others sat up in rotation. Sparrow observed them
all, and no man held his proxy.

Accuracy has been increased
tenfold, Mr.. Stilwell points out.
Where engineers formally dis
cussed accuracy in terms of so
many thousandths of an inch they
are now talking of ten-thou-
Sandths of an inch.
II II
THIS new accuracy, he points
- out, is required today by auto
mobiles and many other mechan-
isms. Formerly, for example, the
bore of an automobile cylinder
was ground. Now it is subsequent
ly Tapped with stone to lay the
"fuzz" left by the grinder.
Mr.. Stilwell points out how
much the world owes to the in
creasing accuracy of machine
tools. When James Watt built his
first steam engine his chief handi-
cap was the ilnpossibility of get
ting cylinders which were accu-
rately bored. In his first engines,
the pistons were wrapped with
rope to make them fit.
Not only do the new machine
tools make use of the new cutting
materials, but they are being built
of new materials throughout. Al
10y highs strength steels and high
test nickel castiron are being used
in them.
Frames of the new castiron are
twice as rigid as the old conven-
tional ones of gray iron. Instead
Of castiron gears, the new ma
chimes are using gears of chrome
nickel steel. These new gears, in
addition, are ground or Tapped to
insure smoother and quieter oper-
alton.
Along with the notion that ma
chimes cause unemployment is the
notion that the worker is becom-
ing increasingly a slave to the
machine he tends, forced to speed
up in time with the machine Mr..
Stilwell says that this second no.
ton is equally false.
"THE fact that the new ma
i chine tools are built to run
at a speed of about IS per cent
more than the old ones, means
that they must be built so that
they are easier to operate, not
harder he says.
This is being accomplished by
means of centralized control
which is electrical in nature.
Formerly, the operator had to set
levers, clamps and the like. These
are now replaced with set of
buttons which are concentrated on
one electrical control board
Machine tools, the machines
that build all other machines. in
Guiding themselves, are ready to
do their share in ushering in the
new world of industry. In fact,
they already have begun to do it.
These new machine tools, run
ming with greater power, accuracy
and speed, are equipped to ma
chine the newer alloys which the
industrial world is now using.
And now in conclusion, let us
summarize what we have been
saying about The World Tomor-
row. a world whose beginnings
are to be seen all around us as
1896 gets under way.

TT is a new world of taller build
l. ings, longer bridges, swifter
trains, faster aircraft, finer homes,
world of greater beauty, deeper
comfort, smoother efficiency.
1t is being built of stainless steel
and taller made" steels, new alu-
minum alloys, new plaStics, and
new synthetic chemicals.
1t holds forth the promise of
greater business activity with low

And it has come about because
of scientific research. When the
wheels of industry slowed down

during the depression, the SCENT
lists kept at work in their labora-
tories. The finer machine tools
now undermining industry are one
result of such research.
America faces the future with
natural resources exceeding those
of every nation in the world. Half
the energy of the world is pro-
duced from American coal, petro-

ton of coal, iron and steel, cop

Unpaid Labor

It is up the Senate Civil Service Committee to fol-
low up the proposal to compensate Government employees
for the overtime which they compelled to work and
for which they receive consideration.
The Senate Committee it will be recalled knocked out
of the annual leave bill provision inserted in the orig
inal RamspeCk bill which would have permitted
poyes to receive compensation for overtime in the form
of additional leave.
That seemed to be reasonable and humane provision,
but the Senate Committee announced that it feared that
in operation it would have resulted in favoritism.
We believe that THE PROVISION COULD HAVE
BEEN MADE TO WORK OUT EFFECTIVELY AND
THE PITFALLS WHICH THE COMMITTEE FORE
SAW COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN AVOIDED.
NEVERTHELESS THE PROVISION WENT OUT
AND THE GOVERNMENT CONTINUES TO FORCE
EMPLOYEES IN IT'S OFFICES TO WORK LONGER
HOURS DAY THAN ANY PRIVATE EMPLOYER
WOULD ASK HIS WORKERS TO LABOR WITHOUT
PAYING THEM FOR THEIR TIME
The Senate Committee however in reporting the leave
bill with the overtime provision stricken out recognized
the injustice of the present overtime situation.
In its report it said:
"YOur committee unanimously opposes Overtime
york except in the most imperative instances and
is favorable to some form of compensation Dhen
such Overtime is necessary. = ** Your committee
believes that the matter of Overtime compensation
should receive special and additional study"
We look to the committee to follow through on this
report to make the special and additional study which
it recommends and to present to Congress measure
which will improve conditions.
