Labor Trouble!: IINDAY SC110 01 LESSON .rillMritti(ill and anno.y.trtPe of liberals which the sucees-iful industrial innovations of James F. provoke frmn his iwr.:•qenco that just conditions, erii} pre% ail in a Collipally out pressure from either govan.- ment or the union'. He has made pwible In a big industrial es- tablisliment the ends allegedly sought by organized labor and by liberal gsvernments without the means whicl't they constantly advocate. Two incidents in the history of the Lincoln Electric Co. offer sensational examples of the suc- cess of his policies. Twenty-five years ago his employes actually petitioned mangetnent to in- crease the number of hours of work, and later the Federal gov- ernment sought to reduce the earnings of his employes. In a new book, "A New Ap- proach to Industrial Economies," Lincoln explains that his nsan- agerial policies are embedded in the Christian principles which he learned as a boy, He and his brother, John Cromwell Lincoln, were the sons of a dedicated Congregationalist minister. John, who was seven- teen years the senior of James, entered the infant electrical in- dustry when Edison and. Brush were in their most creative stage. John founded the Lincoln Electric Co. in 1895 with a capi- tal of $150. James entered the growing company in 1907. Since the genius of James soon ap- peared to be in management while John manifested amazing capacity as a creative inventor, an agreement was reached in 1914 which gave James full man- agement control, John went on for the remainder of his 93 years in many other successful ven- tures. Lincoln Electric's distinctive place in American industry has been in constantly improving its production of arc-welding equip- ment. When the United States entered the second world war, Lincoln Electric was the world's largest manufacturer of welding equipment, with subsidiary plants in England, 'Canada, and Australia. James' first innovation as gen- eral manager of the company was to call together all employes :and to ask them to appoint rep- resentatives of all departments to serve him as an advisory board. He sought to add to the company's potential the ideas generated by all employes. Since arc welding was then in its in- fancy, it was essential to interest all manufacturing in its multi- farious uses. There was also con- tinuous education of employes. The company sponsored compe- titions for design, published text- books, conducted seminars, pro- vided articles for technical jour- nals, and worked with engineer- ing colleges. Within the company there were more and more worker in- centives: Insurance policies for employes and an organization to provide health and sickness ben- efits, In 1923 Lincoln adjusted the scale of employe earnings to the U.S. cost-of-living index. In 1925 a stock purchase plan was provided for employes. In 1934 a bonus plan was es- tablished which over the years has added an average of 30 per cent to the yearly earnings of employes, All this was done without collective bargaining or government coercion. The efficiency of the company grew. In the years since 1934, while the costs of labor have gone up five-fold, of copper four- fold, and steel threefold, the prices of the product have de- clined 20 per cent. Lincoln's plan involves cooperative manage- ment without collective bargain- ing. In 1945 the average annual earnings of employes in the com- pany were $5,791, while in manu- facturing generally they were half that, In 1959 the company paid an average annual cOmpert- R.

Employment is continuous in good times and bad. Needless to say, there are no labor "problems" which can- not be solved by the cooperative syetem which prevails. The Lincoln aim is to promote the worker's progress In a strong 1,y competitive system. This, Lincoln explains, is simply a practical application of the. Christian gospels, It is also, for those who choose to assign an- other related cause, the applica- tion of common sense and right reason in industrial life. -'By Raymond Moley in NEWSWEEK Put Their Carpet On The Ceiling According to dispatches from the scene, a lady in Kansas has a new house which she shares with six children and where the living room carpet is installed on the ceiling. The explanation of- fered is that the carpet in its unusual wall - to - wall location gives things a warm feeling and has worked an amazing improve- ment in the acoustics, It is al- leged that the noise the six chil- dren make has been muffled to a most gratifying degree. Per- haps the reasons for the extra- ordinary arrangement are as stated, but it also leads to some additional suspicion that this is just naturally a topsy - turvy world. - Commercial Appeal (Memphis) ISSUE 51 - 1961 Massachusetts and other states along the U.S. eastern seaboard are emerging as leaders of an "agricultural revolution," which may possibly end in the com- plete renovation of the 'farm image' in the United States« As Dr. A. A, Spielman, dean of the College of Agriculture at the University of Massachusetts, said recently, "We no longer have farmers in Massachusetts; they have been replaced by milk producers, cranberry producers, potato producers, and other spe- cialists." agriculture encompasses. Posi- tions being supplied by agricul- ture graduates include city man- agers, golf-course planners, su- permarket managers, and insect exterminators, * Airports also are calling on agriculture graduates sto help maintain the turf near runways. Dust flying up beneath the jets and propellers has been a major problem for airport designers. "Just the role of corn in our economy would be almost im- possible to visualize," the pro- fessor said, mentioning too that the plastics industry, soaps, de- tergents, oleomargarine, and ice cream also are products of agri- cultural research. * * Research plays an important role in the university's College of Agriculture. Many of the some 850 students enrolled in the college are studying food technology, which is devoted pri- marily to research in food pro- cessing. Dean Spielman says stu- dents from throughout the world go to the university to partici- pate in the food-technology pro- gram with hopes of raising the eating habits of their home coun- tries. Dean Spielman says the col- lege, has four major functions: teaching, research, co-operative extension service, and "service and regulatory" activities. The extension service comprises ap- proximately 35 per cent of the college's effort and is devoted to "extending the cultural and tech- nical resources of the university to the people of the state." Adult and youth programs, such as the 4-H Club, are just a part of 'the extension service's activities, Service and regulatory activi- ties include testing feeds and seeds• and enforcing dairy laws. The Massachusetts Experiment Station, set up in 1887 and sup- ported by state, federal, and pri- vate funds, also is operated by the college. C * * The farmer of the past, who raised a variety of crops and did his own producing, processing, and marketing, no longer exists. Farming today is developing into a highly specialized. business known as "agrinclustsy." According to Fred P. Jeffrey, associate dean of the agricultural college, the Bay State along with the other eastern states is lead- ing the way in developing the new concept of agriculture, while the mid-western' and southwest- ern states have yet to fully ac- cept the agrindustry concept. Mr. Jeffrey, in charge of en- rollments at the university, pointed out, "The demand for specialists in agriculture is tre- mendous." Giving what he term- ed a conservative estimate. the educator said "there are at least two jobs available for every graduate we have in agricul- ture." Many a woman thinks she bought a dress for a ridiculous price when, in fact, she bought it for an absurd figure. * * * But as another professor ex- plained, "Agriculture has a bad name. Right now, we're getting about half as many students as agrindustry needs," People need to know, he asserted, that agri- culture is no longer an "overalls and pitchfork industry," The advantages in agriculture are not recognized, the educators indicated, As a result of re- search, farming has developed into a highly efficient and com- plicated industry. Agrindustry is divided into four major divisions: producers, processors, marketing firms, and service firms. The production division alone in Massachusetts is a $160,000,000 business, ac- cording to Dean Spielman, * Agriculture is without a doubt, the biggest industry in the United States and Massachusetts, the dean said, including the four divisions in his estimate. The development of agrindus- try appears to be offsetting the over-abundance of labor which might have occurred as a result of automation arid mechanization of farming. Although one fanner now can produce enough food to supply 25 persons with enough to eet, whereas in the past one farmer supplied enough for four or five, egrindustry has more than absorbed the excess labor and is crying for more, Dean Spielman pointed out that the production of food and fiber is "one place we're ahead of the Soviet Union," He said that it takes much more man- power for the Soviets to pro- duce food for their people than it does in the Milled States. While the United States now is out front hi this field, he Mid, there is danger of this country falling behind, unless more stu- dents enroll and continuo to de- velop' agrindustry in that coun- try, writes George Moneybun iri the Christian Science Monitor.

The sense of the opening verses of our lesson seems to be, "Christ gave some men al Apostles, some as prophets, eta., 'with a view to the full equip- ment of the saints for the work of ministration or service they have each to do in order to the building up of the body p Christ," The building up of the, Church - that is the great aim and final object; to that every believer has his contribution to make; and to qualify all for this is the purpose of Christ in giving "Apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers." Too often the work of the Church is re- garded as the responsibility of a few faithful souls. But ,every man has his part. The healthy growing churches of today are those in which the laity have caught this vision. While one man is Sunday School superin- tendent, another may delight in bringing children in his car; chil- dren of parents who don't bother going near the church them- selves but don't mind if someone looks after the kids for an hour. Sometimes the witness of the children penetrates the callous Indifference of the parents, If we are to have proper spir- itual growth we must heed the injunction, "Put off your old na- ture which belongs to your for- mer manner of life," RSV. And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. This is more than joining the church; much more. It is the miracle working power of God the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ came to destroy the works of the devil. On ascending to heaven, He sent the Holy Spirit to make real in. the lives of men the grace which He so dearly purchased. The believer need not be in bondage to the fleshly nature. The Holy Spirit who purified the nature• of the disciples ,at Pentecost and later, will do the same for us tOday. This prepares the way eor greater spiritual growth.

A fugitive season, it comes early or late and can reW- er be accurately predicted, though, Amos is of the opinion that it usually follows the r 'it killing frost. All we are st' f is that after a cold snap chills the blood, and aftei have resigned ourself to the cum- ing of another winter, suddenly it is summer again. But with a difference, Now in this. golden interlude the breeze is as soft as the notes of a flute, The air is still and sweet, and colored leaves float down soundlessly, The weather is balmy, all sounds are muted, the earth seems to wait in stillness. We wonder why it is called Indian summer, but the diction- ary cannot, or does not, tell us. It merely describes it as "a peri- od of mild weather occurring in the autumn, with hazy atmos- phere . . . corresponding to the English St. Luke's (Oct, 18th) or St. Martin's (Nov, 11th)." The English reference book states that the mild, weather around their St... Martin's day "corres- ponds to the American Indian summer." Neither book hazards a guess as to why it. is called Indian summer. Amos believes it is partly be- cause the cool snap preceding it is known as "squaw winter," and he believes that the early Indians took warning from this first cold spell and struck their summer camps to move,to more sheltered ones during the following period of mild weather. Emmeline, however, holds to the notion that this pleasant time, when the air once more blows soft and sweet and haze *lets over the ,valley after a pe- riod Of 'pinching cold, was named by the' early settlers -for their Indian neighbors, who were cold and inhuman at first; then un- predictably nice and kind .in a time of sickness and great sor- row. Only nature is unconcerned about names and times of ap- pearance as we wait in dreamy stillness. for whatever is to fol- low this halcyon time and cher- _ ish each day of somky-blue wea- ther, In "Autumn Across America," Teale.strikes a poignant note by recalling that the English call this "farewell summer." But,that is.as it should be, for this is truly summer's last call. Toward the end of the month there will come days- of driving rain, and after the storm has- . passed everything will be differ- ent. • The air will be crisp, some days will be raw and cold, others short and sunny but without a hint of summer's softness. Then it will be time for early lamp- light, hearty suppers of fresh- : dressed pork, end big pans of nuts and popcorn around the kit- , chen stove before bedtime. And. life will still be good, for every season on the farm has its own: • peculiar charm.

Youngsters pride in miniature farm wagons drawn by a small steam engine, and there were exclamations of surprise on every hand at the wonderful versatility of such old- time contraptions. Then at the noon hour people crowded into the tents where ladies from a number of local churches in the vicinity served home - cooked "Old Thresher Dinners." We marveled at the number of persons who seemed to think. they were seeing a part of early Americana that has vanished from the modern scene. Amos could afford a tractor. a truck, a deep-well electric pump, mechanical milking machines and most of the other power equipment which science has dreamed up to make farm work easier. Still lie and others like him • have managed, tp convert their part of the earth into a garden of peace and plenty with the tools they have. And it is a matter of record that the Amish and Mennonites, whose intense love of the land distinguished them from other early settlers in America, were the ones who brought with them such advan- ces in farming as rotation of crops, improving the soil by fer- tilizing it with barnyard manure and by growing red clover. When. they applied these methods to the rich soil of the New' World, and housed their livestock as carefully as their families, they were recognized as master farm- _ers, a title they still hold, There is no dearth of farm tools and wheeled equipment in the Zaugg's big bank barn, There p is the family carriage with its side curtains and battery - pow- ered lights, the light market wagon, and the heavy farm wag- on, on which several bodies can he used on the same chassis by an ingenious arrangement of bolts, Also the manure.spreader, the hay rake, the corn planter, the harrow and discs.

On the same floor and in the loft above are ample stores of hay and grain to keep the animals well fed until_ another crop comes in, writes Mabel Slack Shelton in the Christian Science Monitor Amos recalls, that one of the stories handed down throisgh all the generation's since this part Of the country was 'settled Was. the controversy between the Men who built big barns and the English and Scotch-Irish settlers who looked on them as tinnecese saty and a luxury in a raw new lend, HEAVY DOUGH In the Island of Yap 750 miles north of New Guinea, huge mill- stones are used as money. s'9182171898S8849099499,8e1989ieeelelieelielle99881.811111181eleitiiesilieeiiieilleilleiSieileSe.
