Union Invites Trained Young
Industrial Engineers to Help
Promote Order in Industry
julius HOchan Address Before Meeting of Society for
Advancement of Management, Says Great Need of the
Dress Industry is Vision, Planning and Promotion.

the union is the only factor that really
represents the industry as whole and
has for years been studying the eco
nomics of the industry" Despite con-
siderable resistance on the part of the
employers, the main points of this
program were adopted and are now
embodied in the collective agreement
prevailing in the New York dress
market
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1941-11-28

New York City (ILNS).-An invi-
tation to a thousand trained young
industrial engineers to enter the dress
industry of New York and "show what
they can do in the way of helping to
bring order out of chaos" was ex
tended by julius Hochman, in an ad-
dress on Industry Planning Through
Collective Bargaining" at meeting
of the New York chapter of the So
ciety for the Advancement of Man
agement.
Hochman is general manager of the
New York Dressmakers' Union, one
of the major affiliates of the Inter
national Ladies' Garment Workers
Union, and the originator of the eff
ciency-promotion program now being
put into effect in the New York dress
industry.
The great need of the dress industry
in this city, Hochman said, was "ef
fective promotion, vision, planning and
efficient management" He drew a
vivid picture of the planlessness and
confusion rampant in most of the dress
factories in the metropolitan area and
stressed the heavy losses to employers,
workers and community alike result
ing from this situation.
Efficiency Union Aim
The Dressmakers' Union, he as
serted, was actively interested 'in
raising the level of efficiency of the
industry, or rather in introducing the
very idea of planned and efficient man
agement into the industry here"
Specifically, / believe that in our
industry here in New York there is
great field for trained management"
Hochman said. "There is room for at
least thousand young men to come
in and show what they can do in the
way of bringing order out of chaos.
''The union would greatly welcome
it, let me assure you, for we are keenly
aware that the burden of inefficiency,
waste and planlessness falls primarily
on the worker in the form of sharp
reduction of earnings"
New Managerial Blood Needed
To hold it's place of leadership under
present-day conditions, the speaker
emphasized, the New York field needed
trained managerial blood, alert, mod
ern and ready to cooperate with labor
in effecting thorough modernization
of the industry
Hochman's talk was devoted mainly
to an account of the efforts of his
union to embody a program of mod
ernizing the dress industry in the col
lective agreement with the employers
entered into last January. This pro-
gram, he explained, consisted primar-
lily of two main points-large-scale in
dustry and market promotion, on the
one hand, and the introduction of mod
ern business methods, including the
adoption of minimum standards of eff
fciency and planned production, on
the other
Program Now in Effect
Sponsorship of this program had to
be undertaken by the union, Hochman
explained, because "in this industry
