Wage Incentives
1T may be that wage incentives

the prospect of increasing indi-

Mr.. French said.
Perhaps the future value of

standards of days work. through
the elimination of artificial impedi-
ments and restrictions to maximum
output. and through the recapturc
of a far higher degree of effective
control by management over shop

Mr.. French said he believes it is
even more desirable than formerly
that effective ways of achieving
sound and friendly relationships
between the rank and file of work
