 Some doubt about renting the space wes first voiced by city officials when it was learned that il 6remen didn't live in the quar- ters the insurance rates on bus mess buildings would increase 5 per cent. but a plan was worked so firemen can keep the living quarters including 8 kitchen, and the commissioner will use the re- maiuder. Charles Ruch, of the fire department, is now living in the hall.
 An addition vii be built on the building to take care of the heavy safes of the office, and as soon as completed the move toI the new quarters will be made.

under discussion is James +. Lin
coin, gentleman who operates an
electrical welding concern in Cleve-
land, and has been making q pretty
good go of 1t for considerable
number of years.
Mr.. Lincoln has plan on how
to run business in a way which IS
mutually satisfactory to both labor
and management. His plan isn't
just a theory he has scrubbed
down on paper and is waiting for
someone to try.
1t is one which he has tried,
himself, and has found practical
over period OF years. 1t is plan
which is so simple, however, that
it has the efficiency experts, the
economics analysts and the braWny-
Drained Government statlstlclans
tearing at their hair roots and
gnashlng their brldgeWork IN angry
amazement.
Mr.. Lincoln merely pays, his EN-
ployes what they are worth.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1946-02-07

Mr.. LINCOLN, it appears, is
an odd individual. He works on
the principle that if you pay a
man what he is worth, based on
what he can produce, you won't
have any of this fuss about union
rights, or quotas, or days off, and
the like. You will also increase
your productive output SO that you
can drop the unit price on your
product, which in turn gives the
buying public break and pre-
vents initiation.
Mr.. Lincoln believes these things
because out at his Cleveland plant
where they are in effect not a sin
gle hour ever has been lost through
misunderstanding between the
workers and management.
In 20 years no person has been
laid off because of lack of work.
In the same period no reduction
in wage rates has been made and
every employee has received a
steady income.
More jobs have been created so
that the employee force Of the COM
pany has been more than quad
rupled.
The earnings per man of Lin
coin employees have been increased
by more than four times, which is
double that of industry in general.
Last years average compensation
per man was in excess of $500.
The system has made possible a
reduction in the selling price of
Lincoln's products by more than
60 per cent. During the same period
OF h e manufacturers products
were increasing an average of 25
per cent.
Yet dividends to the company's
owners and shareholders = prac-
tically all of whom are workers
have been continuous and increas-
ing.
MR.. LINCOLN thinks now that
the labor-management conference
has blown up higher than one of
those lovable Picard Brothers bal
looms, maybe both sides would be
interested in studying his plan as
a solution to the present problem.
He seems of the opinion that
representatives Of the unions and
of the big industries might vel
come an opportunity to drop all
these long-winded discussions about
contracts and agreements, hidden
profits and "take-home" pay and
say, instead:
"Okay fellows. From now on
we'll both agree that the worker
will be paid what he's worth"
Isn't Mr.. Lincoln foolish?
