Mems Earnings
Grow AS Machines
Increase Output

What machinery does for work
ers in creation of more jobs and hlgh-
er wages is tersely summed up IN
the experience of a single automo-
bile manufacturing company which,
although not among the largest, mas
been in business continually from
the early days of motor making.
In 1903 this company was thrlv-
ing. 1t employed 5000 men. With
comparatively little machinery they
worked so hours d week to produce
an annual volume of goods amount
ing to little less than $4,000 per
employee. They earned an average
of S625 a year, or S12 week.
In the 30 years that followed the
company invested more than S30,-
100000 in machinery and mechanl-
cal equipment.
In 1887 the average payroll OF the
plant was around $500 men. Each
was was backed by an average OF
$4,000 of machinery, which saved
muscles and sweat and more than
one-third of his former hours of
toll The 40-hour week was IN eff
feet, but part of the year business
was slack, so the average hours per
man during the year were l,760. The
production for the year amounted
TO $4,000 per employe, with ~ per
cent fewer hours of work. The
average annual earning was $3.50
two and half times as much pay
10 each of more than twice as many
men as were working for the same
business 30 years ago.-Exchange.
