INCENTIVE PAY

INCENTIVE wage schemes fall roughly into two
types-one which makes use of collective bar
gaining and one which seeks to set up SubStl-
tutes. The former is based on total tonnage or
profits; the latter calls up the ghosts of the COM
pany union following the First World War, with
BedauX, Manit and Dyer systems with points"
instead Of familiar rates-compicated formulas
posed as scientific facts.
Since the beginning of the development Of per-
sonnel management, labor has been the alert
against the misuse of techniques. Many Of the
early management specialists attempted to use
principles and technlques applicable to the mate
rial side of production. The leaders Of the old
Taylor Society understood that personnel manage
men had to do with intellectS and wills and needed
the cooperation of workers. With this principle
recognized constructive union management CO.
Operation grew.
The points school has seen new opportunity
for power in the freezing Of collective bargaining
and offers incentive wages" as a method of re-
warding workers for increased production. This
proposal involves acceptance Of a formula instead
of increase in basic wage rates. A job eValuatlon
committee is created which reviews the job spe-
cifcations, grades the jobs and then eValuates
them. The formulas used reduce the various ele-
ments to points, which in turn translated into
dollars and cents. The elements Of each job which
are evaluated are responsibility, skill, mental de-
mand, physical demand and working conditions.
Points are assigned in proportion to the emphasis
which each Job gives to these elements. In most
accordance with the significance of the job to the
production organization, hence the points vary
in money value.
These formulas are obviously nothing but a
series of opinions. They are not nearly SO scien-
tifc as the going rates negotiated by management
and unions, based on past experience and tested
by capacity to produce and pay.
1t is significant that the BedauX Company is
in this development. TO be remembered
is the fact that employers intend to use employee
merit-rating plans to determine which workers to
retain when plants return to a peacetime basis.
The best and Wisest incentive which manage
ment and labor can sponsor is the record Of work
done in terms of quality and quantity, so that
workers can be guided to do their best Best work
is done when there is confidence Of square deal
in relationships and pay. Both workers and man
aGements have to gain by making their work ap-
peal to the creative ability of workers and ncreas
ing basic wages through the normal channels of
collective bargaining in accordance with sustained
output.

I IMITATION Of the size Of the armed forces is
- again in the news with serious shortage Of
and a proposal by Senator Albert b.
Chandler Of Kentucky that skilled loggers be re-
leased from the Army to foreSta further short
age His proposal seems sound and the only action
TO take in the circumstances.
Senator Chandler said two things have con-
tributcd to the ncWSprint scarcity:
"tirSt, an apparent lack OF a definite policy IN
the distribution Of the available supply and second,
the fact that many loggers producing the neceS-
sary material in the forest from which wood pulp
is made were either drafted or allowed to 20 into
higher paid jobs E. without due regard to their
value in their own work..
The ncwsprint situation is additional evidence
that American heavy industry can't be run eflec-
lively by women, old men and children. Logging
is tough hard work requiring skill gained by long
experience. Expert male WorkcrS-plenty of them
are necessary in logging as in other basic in
dustIieS All nations have found this out Britain
has been compelled to release coal miners and
other skilled workers from the Army to keep up
production The United States has had to do the
same thing with metal miners and farmers.
Now comes Australia, which has found that
drawing too many men from cattle ranches and
farms makes ii impossible to maintain sufficient
production of meat and other foods. Australians
are alarmed and there is considerable agitation for
releasing some men in the armed services for farm
work.

HIGH QUIT RATE AMONG
WOMEN IN WAR PLANTS

Washington, ID. c. GLNS) ).-RepOrtS
submitted to the War Manpower Com
mission show that for every two
women hired for war production work
in labor-ShOrtage areas in June, one
woman quit her job.
The reports covered 16,6O0 plants
employing l3,4OO,O00 persons, including
100000 women.
Women at these plants were quitting
at higher ratio than men. Even
separations" the term applied to
workers separated from their jobs for
any reason whatever, run higher for
women than for men in these plants,
despite the fact that separation rates
for men include those called into mill
tary service.
The quit" rate for women in these
war plants was 81 per cent of total
female employment or 24S,0OO. This
figure includes women who left of their
own volition. The quit rate for men
in June was 80 per cent of total male
employment.
Aside from marriage, maternity, i'll
ness and the movement OF service wives
to join their husbands. household and
community problems are most often
quoted as reasons for leaving jobs.

deep personal loyalties that form the base of

LABOR A POSTWAR POWER

" essential part IN industry, DuC ALSO itS ViIsu
place in government and its ability to solve the
problems of war. Representing over thirteen NIL
lion organized workers, with their tamiheS oZ
million strong, it is fitting that Labor should take
its rightfu place Of responsibility III the HE Oh
the nation.
World War II has thrust many new problems
upon Labor but Labor has risen to the task and
has assumed a new national responsibility that can
open the door to era OF industrial teamwork.
But the postwar world will bring with 1t even
greater problems and struggles, and remembering
the bitter experiences of falling membership after
World War l. Labor will be wise to see what
counter measures need to be taken to prevent a
similar landslide.
There are six theaters Of operation where the
forces of Labor must keep on the offensive II we
are to hold gains and continue TO advance IN
the postwar world:
l. Union Membershp-First and foremost is
the need for the consolidation of our millions OF
members new and old, whose numerical strength
alone gives authority to laborS voice IN the ma
ton Workers who are in the union just for what
they can get out of 1T only falr-Weather union
lists The labor Movement stands for more than
better wages and conditions. 1t is brotherhood
based on deep personal oyaltles between man ana
man, whose ultimate goal IS a new nation ana q
new world where human and spiritual values are
the masters and not the slaves of material things.
This is the war every worker should be told he is
in when he joins a union, and it is the only purpose
big enough to avert loss OF interest ana sliding
membership in the postwar world.
2. Public Opinion To win the pubic Labor
should demonstrate through It's leaders, members
and programs its greatest posSeSslon-a passion
for justice and deep caring Tor all the people III
the nation BY consistently holding to tins policy
in our homes, unions, plants and communities, we
will convince the public that Labor is mature
force for postwar reconstruction. By tins moral
integrity Labor will swing the public to It's sup
port despite every kind Of antl-abor propaganda.
