Y 20 TIIE v SUNDAY OBEGONIAN, FOIiTXATSD. OCTOBER 10. 1920 v.; cur 0 INDUSTRY E ILLS SEATTLE PLAN Labor Policy Is Result of 18 MonthsMnvestigation. FOUR METHODS OFFERED o Solution of Problems Is round '-In Getting Together of Workers Employers, Says 'Report I. SEATTLE, Wash'., Oct. 9. (Special.1) " As a result cf an exhaustive study 'of the whole industrial relations ques tion comprising 18 months ot investi gation of labor problems, the labor relations committee of the Seattle chamber of commerce has form'ulated a labor policy designed to bring Se attle employers and employes closer - together through the adoption of mu tually constructive, methods. Details of the plan were made public today Xor the first time. . The report of the committee, which , has been submitted to the board of .. trustees of the chamber and which Has met with unanimous approval, ;favors four different "plans, as fol lows: (1) Scientific mnagement by functional foremenj (2) employment .management by specially trained 'executives: (3) shop committee system .of employment representation, and (). wage technique. , Plan for Each. Industry. . The chamber recommends such por- tions of the above plans as seem best adapted to the industry concerned, dclaring that "proper industrial re- lations result only from concurrent 'effort on the part of the employer, employe and community, arnd in this it :i8 essential to sea each the other's "viewpoint and deal with entire candor -and honesty. To such end. various 'means have been devised for inter- change of views,' adjustment of grlev 'ances and origination of methods and plan for betterment. ' "Solution of the industrial problem lies entirely in a sincere desire by employer and employe and the public alike, to get together by all feasible : means, .study each others' needs and viewpoints, and work out and adopt mutually constructive methods." Friendly suggestions from leaders 'of both the Seattle Central Labor I Council and the Washington State Federation of Labor, to whom the re j port was evidently;, submitted, were embodied in the text. These sugges tions were taken as an indication of ' j willingness to pull together and to : jwork out a practical programme of ; industrial harmony. ; ' Public Tired of Strikes. ! . ; The report is preceded by a fore , ;w6rd which discusses the high spots , j of the present industrial situation in ! ' Seattle, with a resume of the several ' 'strikes of the past, including the so-called "general strike.'- It points out ' that the public is tired of strikes; i land, in hope of some sort of relief, ;! supports the employers in their ; declaration for the open shop, expect l ;ingr results, or increased productivity. ' ; Discussing the first of the four plans advocated. Scientific Manage ; (ment by Functional Foremen, the re ; ; port says: i i Functional foremanship, historically the ' ;flrt atep in the development of scientific : ; management, has to do with personal re-j-.j laUons. Suffice it to Bay. in this highly I ( refined type of industrial management ' there is a large increase in the fcrces of . .supervision. Instead ot one there are from f -five to eight foremen, each an authority in his special field and each In direct con t ',tact With the workers. Details of this ; .Plan, Including as they must, scientific . 'motion studies, time, studies, fatigue stud i .ies, task setting, rate setting, cost ac ( ;counting, routing, dispatching, bonus cal culation and other Important features -make it inexpedient to attempt an ex . tended description of the plan here. ; j ; ' One Man to Do Hiring-. ' i i The second plan is employment ' 'management, and as to this plan the chamber advances the following sug gestions: ' vUnder the plan -of employment manage ment an executive officer, trained in scientific selection and assignment of work ers, engages, rewards and discharges all employes. He uses for the purpose sys tems of Indices and record cards, psycho logical and trade tests, physical exam- nations and persnal efficiency ratings. ; This officer is also In charge of prelimi- nary and shop training, sanitation and safety measures, and of personnel mat ters including social activities, recreation 'and welfare work. Special attention is called to these features: ! .'(a) since dlcharges are handled by the employment manager, the foreman is re ; 'iteved of charges of prejudice and favorit ism. lib) To the end that only competent help may secure a permanent place on the payroll, this department uses care in relection. in training, in fitting one to his Job, or else transferring him to more suit able work, and in looking out for the human side of industrial relationship. . : tc) Just treatment of all employes In the matter of promotion, wage increase or discharge is afforded by means of the ''Central Record," which keeps in detail , each employe's antecedants, history and performance. (d) All leavings, for whatever cause, ebme before the employment manager, who in the final interview ascertains the employe's reasons for leaving. These be come the basis for the record of labor turnover, and when this record shows fre quent leavings from any especial cause it becomes the subject of investigation and remedy. Man Is Specially Trained. So vital to the success of the plant are the duties of employment manager that the position is held, where feasible, by one of the executive officers of the com pany, specially trained for the work. Not infrequently it is the president himself. - The report discusses the third plan,. . shop committee system of employe representation, in more detail, point ing out that this method is not in its real sense a war expedient, as is pop ularly supposed, but has been in suc cessful operation in both this country and Europe before the war. We have had two years of intensive use and study of the s?iop committee system in the United States, including- such .concerns as the Standard 'Oil com pany, the International Harvester company and the General Electric company. : In form, there are two general types .under this system: . ; The "governmental" or bicameral plan, patterned after the I'nlted States govern ment, providing for a cabinet, a senate, land a house of representatives. Its very fei-in early suggested the name- "Indus--1 tih I democracy," a term since arrogated 'to sundry economic cults and so distorted ;that the public seems a bit hazy as to Just 'what is Industrial democracy. . Recurring again to fundamentals. an Industrial democracy Is a form of government (man- aament) and not an Ism. Yet a better . 'example of the real democratic form for .industry is found in Authority Made Equal. The true committee form, wherein a 'committee elected by the employes, meets 'Jointly with a group representing the man- ." agenent, the authority of the two being jusually equal . , 7rhfc shop committee comprises commit ' .teenien elected by different sections or '. '.precincts of the plant, and in some cases , .committeemen at large are added. The .- chairman and other officials are elected 'sometimes by general vote and sometimes . hy the committee. When the shop commlt - tee meet with the management the de liberations are known as " those-' of the ";oli.t council." -f The following is disclosed on the subject of wage technic: ? . r Any attempt to hold down to the common wage level those persons who would A5o better work if paid to do better work Is not democracy; it Is something els.-.. This further "recurrence .to' fundamen tals" Is made because many employes- haw In? a dislike for the old-time- "pace-setter" look with -eunplcion upon scientific wage systems. ' A detailed examination of the subject wilt show where they-have the wrong Idea. , The scientific standard of performance' with Its equivalent of ordi nary day pay is based." not upon the do ings of some expert Individual pace-maker as of yore, but upon ' an average of all. intelligently and sanely, arrived at:; and in this special study is gif'en.also to fa tigue, waste motion and like subjects. The standard is not supposed -to be. the best one can do, or anything-like lt:'alao there could be no bonus as a reward., for doing better. ' - .' - Right to - Specialize Emphasized.

" After a lengthy discussion of the bonus system, in which it is pointed out that a cost-finding system where by it could be proved, if occasion arise, tfcat there was' no profiteering being engaged in. and to furnish as surances not only to the Investor but to the employe, that the plant was being operated in a thorough, eco nomical and business-like manner, is almost necessary for efficient produc tion, the report concludes with this: - Our cause is common.

Fred Whitt ram of the Mercantile Bank of Amer ica, a passenger on the liner Aqui tania, which arrived today from Southampton, .carried with him what is said to be the largest diamond ever brought to this country. It is a straw colored stone welshing 183.15 carats. Mr. Whittram. who' has been the Madrid manager of the Mercantile bank for five years, said the stone belonged to Abo-ol-haf id, former sul tan of Morocco, who abdicated in favor of his brother, the present-sultan. The Jatter wore it in his state to sell it. Abo-el-hafid lives in Ma turban. No longer heing a ruler he decided drid and gave the diamond to Mr. Whittram to sell. Both in Paris and London Mr. Whittram endeavored to have it ap praised by jewelers who said that be cause ot its size there was no way of determining its real 'value. Customs officers took it to the appraisers. Mrs. Whittram said she had the diamond under her pillow each night on board ship and admitted she did not sleep much.

All .of this is wonderful, in one way, -and quite natural and logi cal in -another. V" It all dates back'to the day when John and "Horace Dodge con ceived and designed and finally built the car after warning each other, and their associates, not even to think of .it in any other terms than the best obtainable value. They began with a few almost absurdly simple principles, bluntly expressed and rigidly executed, about decency and honor and integrity such as most of us wrote in our copy books at school. They reduced - these old copy book maxims.' to a splendid and 'scientific system," pouring more, and more, and still more value into the car, .and then marshal ling all the. resources of modern massed manufacture to get their product into the hands of the people, at an honorable and an honest cost, : , (These policies and principles - have never been changed, and never will be changed, by ,so much as. ti' hair's breadth; and they havb. come to be recognized and accepted as Dodge Brothers principles wherever motor. cars are driven It has all happened as John and Horace Dodge planned it quite simply, naturally, and automat ically, all over America, and all over the world. -People do discriminate, as Dodge Brothers contended they would; people will . find out when a motor car is well built and gives good service and great good value. "Dodge Brothers market today is where they planned to locate and establish it in the mind and the heart of every man and woman whq admires good work, well done. It will last,, and it will keep on grpwing, as it has kept on grow ing for five years (faster than Dodge Brothers works, could kep pace with it), as long as the number of those who believe that a manufacturer should" build to serve and not merely to sell, continues to increase. All is well. with Dodge Brothers foday, because -John and Horace Podge builded well in the begin ning, and because their business will continue to build well until the- end.

Alcoholic Addicts Who Need Sleep Too Frequently Take Fatal , Doses In Xew 1'ork NEW YORK, Oct. 9. Increase of deaths here from sleep - producing drugs, use of which, it is said, has been acquired by many persons since the advent of prohibition, has led Health Commissioner Copeland to order an . investigation of sales of such drugs. Additional restrictions may be placed on their sale, he said. The investigation was ordered be cause of a statement by Chief Med ical Examiner Norrls regarding the Increase in deaths attributed to this cause. He said that alcoholic ad dicts, finding themselves nervous and sleepless in many instances where they have been unable to purchase liquor for their customary "night cap" before retiring and- the "eye opener" on arising, had resorted to other artificial and dangerous "ways ofrwooing sleep. ' The desired relief, he said, was obtained through the use of the nerve-quieting effects of certain drugs. Dr. Copeland. in Instructions to the bureau of foods and drugs to begin an investigation immediately, re ferred to ' most of the drugs about which complaint has been made of ficially, as "treacherous " somnifa cients," 15 grains of one of which, he said, were sufficient to cause death. He admitted that fatalities from the se of these drugs were "altogether too frequent." Dr. Norris declared that deaths from sleep-producing drugs occurred in hospitals and in what formerly were sanitariums for treatment of alcoholis.-n. Deaths from such causes also had been recorded as suicides, he eaid. Sale of such drugs, he added. sjiould be governed by the same strict regulations as those governing the sale of poisons.
