NORTH CHINA SETTLES
UNUSUAL LABOR
DISPUTE

Hong Kong. (ALN) = Efforts to get
women to take jobs outside the home
in North Chinas Liberated Areas ran
into an unexpected snag. After trying
it, the women began to quit their jobs
because, as they said, "all they earned
was pocketed by their men and there
was still housework to be done"
The local governments then decreed
that no husband should touch his
wife's earnings but the men protested
that this was unfair because they still
had to feed the family.
Mass meetings of working husbands
and wives finally reached new solu-
ton. Now both retain 1910 of their
earnings for personal expenses and
turn the rest into a family kitty. So
North China women, who never held
jobs before, are turning out for work
in unprecedented numbers.

time before every employer, even the
smallest, will strive to increase his
profits at the expense of his workers
through the wholesale use of such sys-
TENS.
The unions will thus soon be face
to face with the full blown menace of
chronological unemployment. They
will have to solve the incentive wage
and job evaluation grievances of their
members, and be constantly on the
alert against the speedup and the
stretchOut.
To do so, the unions and their mem
bers must learn industrial engineering.
They must guard their contracts
against loopholes that permit employ
ers to reap all the gains of greater
productivity while employees reap the
speedup and then the pink slip.
1t is up to the unions to see that the
workers share the gains of Americas
increased productivity.

home and abroad who need oul
it means one thing-dread of
chronological unemployment.
By the end of this year, such
unemployment will have reach
ed so substantial a figure that
it will be serious factor for the con-
sideration of the unions. Prelimin-
mary Department of Labor studies in
dictate that workers productivity,
thanks to new techniques, will in
crease at an abnormal rate" this year
SO abnormal is the rate expected to
be that the Journal of Commerce has
reported labor department economists
to the effect that should a recession
materialize, healthy productivity adj
vances would be within grasp for the
remainder of this year and in 1948."
To workers that means layoffs as
fewer of them are needed to turn out
larger quantities of goods. Should
the slump materialize, pressure would
grow for even greater speedup to
stretch the productivity of each man
and thus permit still further layoffs.
Two factors are making for the re-
emergence of chronological unemploy-
ment. The first is the installation of
new equipment and machines, on
which industry spent $12 billion in
1916 and is expected to spend $14 bill
lion in 1947
Typical of what this new machinery
means is a Wall Street Journal de-
scription of a device that rips through
what was formerly 2-day job in
bare u hours" All along the line,
the Journal said, ''hours are being re-
duced to minutes, and minutes to sec
onds"
Along with streamlined machinery
and equipment, employers are intro
ducing new and streamlined efficiency
methods. Efficiency experts are be-
ing hired on an unprecedented scale,
even in fairly small plants, and these
experts are developing more subtle
and effective speedup and stretchout
systems.
Speedup Systems Spread
Employers are ''stabilizing" their
wage structures by using job evalua-
ton studies that tend to level off a
workers wages and create greater
speedup pressures. archaeological im-
are being introduced in !
the layoffs of plants and in the organ
zation of factory working forces
Wage incentive systems are being
streamlined where they existed before,
and introduced for the first time in
many plants that never had them.
What is taking place is only a be-
ginning. The greatest threat of tech
biological unemployment lies in the
future 1t has been demonstrated
hat standard motion studies of work
7rs can cut the time required for a
particular job from 80 to 60 per cent.
More efficient plant layout can double

river, below Cairo, are now better pro
tected, by means of levees, cut-Offs
and spillways, than those upstream
! Particularly do the Missouri and its
tributaries require further tanning.
The Missouri caused heavy loss in
1913, some loss in 1914. Now it is
at it again, and the effects are felt at
st. Louis and other spots below it's
junction with the main river.
There are plans, already partially
carried out, for control of the Missouri.
The sO-called Pick-Sloan plan calls
for twelve major storage reservoirs in
the lower river, as suggested by Maj.
Gen. Lewis A. Pick, builder of the
Ledo Road and now in charge for the
army of the Missouri river division;
plus ninetythree storage dams on the
tributaries, as suggested by w. G.
Sloan of the Bureau of Reclamation,
1t would cost billion dollars-maybe
two billion. A federal inter-agency
committee exists to coordinate the in
terests of the army, reclamation bur
eau and the Federal Power Commits
sion.
Teddy Roosevelt First Proposed
Integrated Development
Flowing through dry country into
wet country the Missouri system pre-
sents a diversity of problems and OPP
rtunities-control of floods, irriga-
ton, navigation and power. A gen
GRAFTON ago President Theodore Roose-
welt proposed unified policy for the
whole river, exactly as was done in
the case of the Panama Canal"
Something more than inter-agency
cooperation may be needed to bring
this about. This years floods will
doubtless strengthen sentiment in the
Middle West and elsewhere for a
Missouri River Authority, modelled on
IVA, and applying the same principles
of multiple use of this major stream.
IVA can now cut four feet off the
Ohio's flood crest at Cairo. Four
feet off the Mississippi crest at St.
Louis yesterday would have been
welcome.

Swedish Furniture
Manufacture to Be
Made More Efficient

STOCKHOLM - Sept. 15-(By
airmaiD- An exhaustive inquiry
into the manufacture of furniture
in Sweden has just been finished
and a report submitted to III e
Department of Commerce 1t pro-
poses. among other things, the
setting up of a council for the
furniture trade, or perhaps a
joint organization, charged with
the task of finding means b y
which the industry can be made
efficient.
This council, according to the
proposal, is to be appointed by
the Government and will consist
of representatives of furniture
manufacturers and retailers. the
workers employed in the furniture
industry, and the consumers. II
will act in a consultative capa-
city, make propaganda for til e
trade. and conduct inquiries.
