glorified titles by corporations
hoping that with the titles they
can buy more efficiency and

CLEVELAND, Nov. Z (AP).-
Steel magazine reported today
that automobile manufacturers
expect their output to drop
from October's estimated 6l5,-

November and 100000 in De-

December than it bought last
month. the magazine said.
With construction and can
ming declining seasonally, and
with no evidence Of a pickup
in machinery or appliance pro-
duction. steel executives see
nothing that is likely to take
UP the slack, the publication
reported.
One encouraging sign, Steel
pointed out, was q rise in new
orders for durable goods (sea-
sonally adjusted) from $13.8
billion in July to $14.4 billion
in August and STAT billion in
September. Steelmakers feel
the impact of this upward trend
may help offset the decline in
autos in the next two months.
Last week steel furnaces OPP

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Business Title Binqe

Though most companies
piously deny 1t, they view titles
as weapons to hold the line on
payroll costs"
One Of the oldest jokes In
business Is: Give a man a new
title to avoid giving him a raise
But is 1t just a Joke? It Ii
not. Rather MOP. finds it is al
once one Of the most widely
scorned. widely condemned, and
widely practiced Of business
policies.
why shouldn't we replace
money with titles? I don't see
a single reason why I shouldn't
try to persuade a man to take
a flowery title If can save q
dollar" said one vice president
IF a man earning $4,000 a year
gets a title calling for $4,000
I can save $4,000 by holding
back for a year." admitted q
controller. 1T would be wrong
to say that companies don't
consider the cold cash bene-
fits Of gradually raising people
to what they're WORTH" added
a personnel director.
There are fundamental rea-
sons why abuses of titles exist
and are spreading. An obvi-
Gus one is the understandable
yearning of an employe for
status via a title and the be-
lief of company arrangements
that a fancy title will impress
a potential customer. Yet, in
sists one purchasing agent, NO
body is fooling anybody with
fake titles. We all understand
it's just a game"
Reform Fails
Another reason the abuses
stick is that when companies
try to end them they unleash
a torrent of employee resent
ment and criticism. A vice pres
ident Of a corporation which
had tried title reform" de-
clared it backtracked fast. now
is letting retirement or turn
over do the dirty work on over
titled jobs"
MOP. comes up with a pro-
gram to control titles samples:
base them solely on job de-
scriptions. make one man or a
small committee responsible for
approving all titles. but after
reading its study and talking
with its authors. I suspect this
is one fever that won't abate
soon.
Incidentally, when Mr.. Hill
reads this, he'll discover I also
checked on his title of Publish
ing Director. It's quite a bit of
of puff" for manager in charge
of sales, advertising and pro-
motion. He got the title only
about a month ago and the
scuttlebutt is he did not get a
raise. Which strikes me as proof
beyond the line Of his duty of
the validity of the study!
