Backs Piece Work

George T. Christopher. presi-
Paekarti,- entered INTO
the discussion on piece work for
war plants. Christopher believes
the adoption of piecework
basis would help production in
American plants at least 20 per
cent.
The Packard president is a
refreshing thinker along labor
lines. At one time, management
would have discarded him as
d hereto.
But sitting at a table I'M the
board of directors room where
different attitudes have been
voiced in the past, Christopher
held a brief for the unions atti-
tude on piecework.
II believe many OF the safe
guards they want TO set up are
rather well founded" he said.
And, reading over the list of
the demands they made to put
piecework into operation, 1
can't see where we couldn't get
together on most of them. The
standards TO be set up must be
carefully adopted. But 1 can't
see any insurmountable obsta-
cles To setting the standards"

Need More HOLIDAYS

ffTves admitted that BRUSH
Workmen are expressing
greater desire for holidays this
year than since the start of the
war
But this is due to genuine
fatigue, rather than compla-
cency due To the recent VIC
tories, l believe" he explained.
All workers in England are
on a piecework basis, which, he
admitted may have something
10 do with their lack of COM
placency. Labor laws are much
stricter, all changes in employ
ment being handled directly by
the government and entire
groups being shifted from one
plant 10 another. whether in
the same city or not.
The labor draft, which has
been in effect for 1S months.
