The place was a large sawmill, and the time was the summer following the World War. For thirteen years I had been an ordinary laborer in various industries, including service as a working soldier in France. While the war was on a considerable change had taken place in the relations of West ern boss men and laborers, par ticularly among the lumbermen, the bull of the woods who ruled with fist and boot was done for. General Disque, dictator of spruce production, had put him down with one hand, while subduing the I.WAV. with the other. The bosses were imbued with the mil itary ideal of officer and gentle man. It survived here and there in the peace. The lumber turnover at the saw mill in which I resumed civilian work was a major aggravation, e • and to reduce it the manager de A couple of monkey wrenches cided to go the whole hog, so to Rich Woman Found It have been tossed recently into say, in military gentility.

They had been “Hunkies” and "Johns” on so many jobs that the “mistering” pleased them no end. The thicker I laid it on the more they blushed with pleasure —and the worse they did their jobs. Foremanship simply was not in me, or I’d have somehow run the gang and made it work. But the men loafed, sorted carelessly, letting 'umber go by to pile up at the end of the table, when the mill sawvers had big logs and the chains bore mountains of boards. The yard foreman began to regard me with a sour eye. Mine was the responsibility. Comes the Revolutoin . . . One night there was a forty- rmnute breakdown at the headrig, and the mill foreman decided to make up the time at the end of the shift. My sorters balked. At the usual quitting hour a Mr. Hrbacek shut down the transfer motor and led his ma’es off the job. The mill was forced down as lumber piled up at the head of the transfer. The next morning the yard foreman burned me up, and did net call me Mr Stevens either. 1 quit. hi that m il a change was soon made to a piecework system. On the transfer table each man should boss himself, with in creased earnings the drive behind him. That was the theory, but it was not precisely realized in practice. A leader naturally came to the fore in my old crew and began to boss the others. He enforced his will with lung power and sometimes with his fists and he “mistered” nobody. And this self-made boss was—Mr. Hrba cek. I decided that under any sys tem there would always be boss men.
