The Lincoln Eloctr'c Co., one of
jroi'I.or CleTo'and':j war industries
and the vo;.Iu;3 leanest producer of
arc welding C'luiinrxnt, yesterday
afternoon divided the stasrgering
total of almost ?..".,000,000 "among
approximately 1,300 employees in
what is described as the plant's
"incentive wage system."
Questioned as to the noticeable
absence of the word "bonus" in the
description ox the payments, James
i Lincoln, president, asserted:
'The word bonus smacks of pater
lalism and this definitely is not
he case at Lincoln Electric. Our
ncentive wage system is to boost
he output of all types of labor
.aid has met with unusual success."
The compensation averaged
cbout $2,300 per employee and
;angcd from $10 to $25,000 with
v)0 per cent going to shop workers
and the remainder to management.
Lincoln himself and his brother,
John C. Lincoln, chairman of the
board, were the only two members
of the organization who received
none of the compensation money.
Although the total sum exceeded
that paid last year by about a mil
lion dollars, Lincoln said calcula
tions were made on the basis of
pre-war years. Because of this,
War Labor Board officials said the
company did not need WLB ap
proval. "It is obvious our only chance of
success in this war is the American
workman's ability with American
methods to produce war equip
ment more rapidly than our ene
mies," the plant president said,
"for great as American industry
is, it leaves largely untapped its
greatest resource, the productive
power, initiative and intelligence
latent in everv norsnn
have been many who have guessed
gamzation should use these powers
"What would happen when all
want to make the wages of all
workers, from sweeper to man
ager, a maximum? What would
happen when all want to make the
company profitable since it is
largely owned by the workers
in it?"
Lincoln continued: "The 10 years'
experience of Lincoln Electric with
incentive wage payments 'includes
both war and peace production,
panic and prosperity years. It has
proved conclusively such incentive
payment properly organized and
properly applied will result in pro
gressively lower prices for the con
sumer, progressively higher wagea
for the worker and progressively
higher dividends for the owner.
And this is not only a means for
greater war production, so essen
tial at this time, but it is also &
philosophy which can and has
solved the difficulty between labor
and management.
"As an illustration of this th
average yearly production per man
in other competing manufacturing
plants is between $4,000 and $10,
000. The production this year oi
the Lincoln worker will exceed
$o0,000 per man. This outstanding
record is made at a selling prico
of our product of less than half
that oi comparable products made
by workers without incentive in in
dustries other than ours."
In 1918 Lincoln Electric tried a
bonus system which was not a
large percentage of the year's
wages and it was not regarded as
successful. But in 1934 a second
bonus was paid and the ground
work was laid for the present
