HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1961-07-20, Page 3When Automation Hits An Industry What happens when automa- tion hits en industry? To find out, Armour & Co. and the two major meat -packing unions established the U.S, na- tion's first labor -management - ^education automation study cam• lttee in 1959, When the commit- tee last month released its first report, the problem was clearly defined, but not the solution; The committee had a ready. made test group for its study - 5,000 Armour workers who had lost their jobs to hydraulic skin- ners, photoelectric knives, and electronic butchers, The major finds; In Bait St. Louis, 56 per cent of thedischarged workers were still unemployed a year after the shutdown; in Fargo, N.D., and Columbus, Ohio, between 2e and 30 per cent. Nearly half the unemployed were men over 45; the next two biggest groups of unemployed were women and Negroes—those workers with the lowest skills, the least education, The median wage of those who had found other jobs had de- creased from $2.20 an hour, their pay at Armour, to $1,86 an hour. In looking for ways to solve these problems, the three -pan committee could agree only that "a coordinated approach of pub- lic policy and private action'• was needed to meet "the prob- lems of technological change." From this broad generalization, it was every man for himself, with the shorter work week the chief bone of contention. Representatives of the United Packinghouse 'Workers and the Amalgamated Meat Cutters held that the shorter work week is "not merely desirable but an economic imperative.": Company representatives, for their part, were flatly opposed to a shorter work week, argued it would cut profits and thus "require ac- celerated efforts to automate just to stay in business" The impar- tial members—Dr. Clark Kerr, president of the University of California, and Robben W. Flem- ing, law professor at the Univer- sity of Illinois—conceded simply that "unless full employment can be achieved through a rapidly growing economy the demand for reduced work week will be- come increasingly insistent." Thus, the study dramatized emphatically the schism in labor- management thinking through- out American industry on the problems of automation. That schism will be nowhere more apparent than in meat packing, when industry -wide negotiations on a new contract begin shortly. "It is no secret," summed up one union spokesman, "that we will Insist on a shorter work week.— From NEWSWEEK. "What's the most difficult in- strument of all to play?" asks a treader. Second fiddle. MERRY MENAGERIE na "It happens every time he goes to sleep!" ALL IS NOT LOST — Mother fell for a bargain and these Fa- ther's Day slacks were too big. But Carl, 9, and Neils Nohr, 7, had a use for them as a "cos- tume" for a gag photo, Now It's A Book About Old Casey "Casey Stengel"s Secrets" by Clay Felkner is, undoubtedly the smallest bundle of literary en- tertainment ever to hit the sports field. Though there are 124 number- ed pages, it is so spiced with an excellent combination of still and action pictures highlighting the colourful Stengel career, it can easily be absorbed in part of an evening. Those who came in: close con- tact with the most successful manager in the history of base- ball find themselves picking it up again and again, anxious to re -live the fiction -like experi- ences of this remarkable man from Glendale, Calif. No one book, of course, could completely cover. the. Stengel lifetime on the diamonds of the majors and minors. There is too much to tell; too much per- haps, that could never be told. But Felkner, with his typewriter and selection of photographs, has come up with BM effort that seems to have touched all of the high spots without going into lengthy, extended detail, 4$ide from the recalling of some of these wonderful old Stengel stories, the feature of the book is the fine picture col- lection, many of them lively closeups of some of the baseball greats whom Casey encountered along his rocky road to stardom at Yankee Stadium. But many • of the Stengel "shots," often taken at unguarded moments, are priceless particularly those that sneak back through the years, back to Casey's playing days with the Giants, Phillies, Pirates, Dodgers and Braves. Some of these pictures are familiar, but most will be fresh to this generation of Stengel `fans. Though pictured and writ - en as a clown in his early dia- mond days, Casey was also a fine ballplayer, holding his own in \ an era when some of the greatest stars swung bats and fired strikes. He had fun, but he also got the job done against the opposition. It Was While outfielding' under the likes of John McGrew and Wilbert Robinson that Stengel. accumulated the background for the strategic "book" that was later to bring him fame in the winning of 10 American League pennants in his 12 years at Yan- kee Stadium, The written pages are gener- ously coloured with. Stengel words and phrases, 'an odd, con- fusing collection that became known as "Stengelese," and con- founded acme of the best educat- ed men in the press rows of the major leagues, writes Ru• mill in the . Christian Science Monitor, If Stengel -confused the critics who flocked around him wher- ever he worked, he confused the opposition even more. Oui-man- euvering Casey was a stunt, es- pecially during his Yankee days, when first rate ballplayers were always plentiful, and he could jockey them in and out of the lineup as the innings rolled along. Those who knew the man's intense love for baseball are not surprised when they read in "Casey Stengel's Secrets" of how, a few hours following. his 1956 World Series victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers, he was caught in his hotel room, 'fig- uring line-ups and moves that he could use the next spring. Stengelese unquestionably reached its height when the the manager of the New York club was asked to testify before a Senate Anti -Trust and Mono- poly Sub -committee of, the Ju- diciary, chaired by Senator Estes Ke'fauver. For 45 minutes Stengelese overpowered same of the great- est minds of official Washing - 'ton, but must have accomplish- ed something, because the last time we looked, the game was still being played from coast to, coast, But some of us will never get used to seeing it played - wi'bhout "Old Case." Horrors! Cricket Isn't On. The Level Nothing quite like this has nappened for a century and a half, The "square" at Lords where the wickets are pitched--philol- gists will note this is a totally different form' of the verb to pitch than that used in baseball which means to throw about — may have to be taken up this fall and relaid. ' After a test match with Aus- tralia which ended too early, a day and a half early to be pre- cise, the Marylebone Cricket Club called in the surveyors. And the surveyors bowled the MCC a googly — the wicket at Lords, Cradle, Nursery and An- cestral Mansion of Cricket, is, they report, not true. It is neither level nor .nat. There is a fall of two inches from the pavilion end' to the,, nursery end —. the nursery is a smaller satellite ground behind the bleachers where baby.cricke- , tors are educated — and among some variations in level and de- pression 23 feet from the stumps at the nursery end. ' During the match the players reported this depression a ridge. It seems, then, that there are.. waves in the turf. This is rather shocking Thomas Lord, whose ground it was, first pitched wickets in Dor- set Square in 1787. When he had to move, because of building, he took the turf with him to Re - VOLUNTEER FIREMEN — They're strictly professionals, these members of Cleveland Fire De- partmen't's Second Battalion.

When he had to move from there, because they cut a canal through his cricket ground, he took the same turf up again and put it down where Lords Wicket now is. The turf was all right when it was in Dorset Square, because Alexander, tenth Duke of Ham- ilton, once hit a ball 396 yards in the air from it. And although recently it has been a little live- ly with the dew on it, there have been no serious complaints since Mr, E. H. Budd smashed a green- house the other side of the wall in 1808 when assisting England against Surrey. Yet now Lords, in fact, has exactly the same problem as we have this season at the Oxshott Village Cricket Club: The ball bounces off in an un- predictable way. Now high, now low, now left, now right, now fast, now slow, and while our opponents can usually score runs off it while it is doing this we cannot, comments John Allan May in the Christian Science Monitor. In this match England scored an aggregate of 408 in three and a half days and Australia 411 wih five men still to bat in the second innings. An aggregate of 700 each would be considered respectable. 'Of course the trouble is that if the wicket, when relaid, is too flat and- too level and too con- sistent' it will be possible for a side to score 900 in only one inn- ings as -England once did at the Oval and spoil the game by snak- ing a decision impossible even in six or seven days of play. This is the challenge, to pro- duce turf where the ball can bounce not erratically but un- certainly enough in a cultured way to make it fair on every- body. Not only both sides equal- ly but also the spectators. How Can I? By Roberta Lee • Q. What is a good substitute cement for my home movies film? A.
