GIN Enters Cutting Tool Field to Speed
Deliveries; Ternstedt Turns Out 500 Daily

Because slow delivery of vital
cutting tools might delay con-
struction of war materials, Cen
eral Motors Corp. has developed a
cutting tool production program
invaluable in the manufacture of
many types of war armament.
Announcement of the new pro-
gram was made by +. +. Fisher,
general manager Of the Fisher
Body division of the corporation.
1t was instituted, he said, at a
manufacturing division
plant, and will speed production
OF tanks, anti-aireraft. naval gun,
bomber, aircraft instrument and
other projects. Fisher said:
CAS- result of this special
program some cutting tools
which could not have been OBJ
tanned for Is weeks were built
i'm a week or less. The program
was started principally 10 assist
in production on Ma tanks, but
subsequently II was expanded 10
give assistance to various other
armament jobs in Fisher Body,
and then TO other divisions OF
General Motors"
Fisher added that although
manufacture of cutting tools is as
foreign 10 automotiye building as
is production of tanks or guns, the
plant can now turn out up TO SOC
tools daily, concluding:
Nearly all the tools are
built on special order TO meet
specific requirements. rather
than on a mass production basis
of standardized types. Those
now being turned out range in
weight from of pound to
100 pounds, and quantities OF
different types range from

s Million Workers

AL workers under the essen
tial work orders tnearly 5000
OOO) can be reported 10 a
national service officer lrepre-
senting the ministry of labor
for absence without cause or
persistent lateneSs. Before taxi
ing any action. however, this
officer must submit the case 10
a joint committee in the plant,
which gives the worker con-
cerned an opportunity 10 state
his case.
After receiving their report,
the officer may institute pro-
C ceilings under which the
worker can be fined or impris-
oned, but this happens only in a
very small number of cases. Up
10 Oct. 1912, only one worker
out of $4,000 had been impris-
oned for abSenteeism. II has
been found that culpable alb
senteeism is often more common
among younger workers, and it
has often been suggested that
they should be "de-resefYed"
and sent into the forces.
This policy of Imprisonment is
a negative step and could never
by itself achieve the results
which are desired, namely, regu-
lar and intense production. The
ministry of labor much prefers
the removal of the cause of all
senteeiSm 10 the punishment of
sbSentees.

Mr.. Hoffman's group and
others interested in the shape Of

peace. These problems follow:
How TO remove wartime
