Morse Asks' Funds For
Coos Bay Development
Washington, Feb. 24 (U.R)
Sen. Wayne Morse (R., Ore.) to
day asked a senate committee to
allocate a portion of some $1,
000,000 recommended for im
provement of Coos Bay harbor.
Morse said funds were needed
now to deepen the channel to the
Charleston mooring basin and
thus provide protection for com
mercial fishing vessels operated
in the bay.

is how to bring

tinue workers' short hours and
give more benefits.
This problem, reduced to Its
simplest form, resolves itself in
to a question of what makes men
work. It is no secret that in
many plants worker productivity
per man has tallen off consider
ably. Why? For too long a time
management has tried to force
workers to do their best by
threats of liquidation or lay-offs.
This policy of fear nourished
strife and bred labor unions.
Then the government stepped
in with the Wagner and the Taft
Hartley Acts and said in effect,
"We shall legislate cooperation
and peace and an attitude of en
thusiasm for work." How in

Details And Need
Told At Meeting
Of Fund Workers
The first "round-up" meeting
of Red Cross volunteer workers
the 1050 fund raising cam
paign was held here this week
under the chairmanship of Frank
Van Dyke, head of the drive.
Lol. Ben fata fiord, vice-chair
man, told the workers that the
advance gifts and industrial so
licitations will have been com
i plcted by the end of the month.
In order that families will not
be solicited more than once, he
urged those who have given to
place Red Cross stickers on
their house windows. Residential
workers will not call at homes
where stickers are displayed.
Establish Office
The Red Cross fund drive
headquarters will be established
in the gas company building, it
was announced, and Col. W. H.
Paine will be in charge. Anyone
wishing fund drive information
may phone this office at number
2-9853.
Chairmen of the 14 county di
visions of the fund campaign re
ported that their quotas have
been accepted, and that their
working crews are organized to
start solicitations on March 1, in
an attempt to raise the Jackson
county quota of $25,000 during
the first 10 days.
Quota Up
In discussing this quota, Van
Dyke pointed out that it is an
increase of 20 per cent over last
year's. But the county chapter,
he said, like the national Red
Cross, has been meeting its com
munity and charter obligations
by use of surplus funds collect
ed during the war years. This is
now almost gone, he added.
Concluding the meeting. Don
Lcgg. San Francisco, Pacific
area fund representative, spoke
briefly on the relationship of
the county quota to the $67 mil
lion national quota. Lcgg said
that various services such as the
national blood bank are shared
by the entire nation. Nurses are
sent to localities where there
are epidemic illness needs which
cannot be met by communities.
"It goes without sayin," Legg
stated, "that the number of serv
ices the Red Cross will be able
to perform will be in direct pro
portion to the amount of money
raised. It is necessary, therefore,
that every American citizen lend
his support to this campaign."

late" industrial peace by setting
up a political football game De-
tween labor and management
The backers of one team demand
more and more touchdowns, or
else the coach will be fired. The
rooters for the other team will
be satisfied with nothing less
than the goal posts and painting
the town red. A scheme of this
sort is unfounded and can result
in nothing but friction.
Must Develop Frontier
Oi Human Relations
. The officials of too many cor
porations have inherited this
scheme of things , from their
forebears. But we too have suc
cumbed to their time-worn dog
mas about management's prerog
atives and labor's place in the
scheme of things. Yet, if we are
to preserve democracy, avoid
state socialism and develop a
state of abundance, then we will
send teams out to explore, con
quer, and develop this relatively
unknown frontier of Human
Relations In Industry.
One small manufacturer, some
months ago, became desperate.
His break-even point was too
high and he faced a shutdown.
But a simple formula was evolv
ed which resulted in a produc
tion increase of 160 per cent in
a short space of time. Here's
how. Management found that
about 38 per cent of its sales dol
lar was charged against the cost
of labor. Labor was offered the
difference between the 38 per
cent and whatever savings it
could effect. Labor accepted the
challenge. Cost dropped pro
duction went up new business
was available on the basis of de
creased costs of production, and
deliveries were made on time at
a profit to all parties.
Labor Productivity
Frozen By Management
One of my own employees
worKed a lew years ago as as
sistant to the president of a na
tionally-known company with its
share of labor troubles. He put
on a pair ol overalls, went out
into the plant as a sort of labor
spy. He learned how to use
paint spray gun and after a while
was fully accepted by the work
ers as one of them. Among oth
er things he was taught by them
how to hold work back so that
management would never know
how last they could really
work. He learned how to so mix
his paint and to so spray that
he could collect for a three-coat
job when in reality the company
was getting only a one-coat job.
I his new man observed skill
ed workers withholding their
skills from new workers. He
watched spoilage pile ud. He saw
workers (et excellent suggestions
for improving efficiency and
cutting casts go down the drain
and then sneer at management
because it was so inefficient.
Company problems were none of
tneir business, for these men
"only worked there." Labor pro
ductivity nas been irozen by
management.
I believe that we can save our
private enterprise system only by
allowing the wageworkers to be
come an entrepreneur along with
management. When the workers
can have a personally gratifying
part in solving their company's
production problems; when they
can reap a proportionate reward
then, you won t need to worry
much about "collective bargain
ing" In your plant.
