Managment advocates higher wages over efficiency systems
Alban H. Johnson, president of a Philadelphia locomotive works with 19 500 employees, told the U S commission on industrial relations that the so called efficiency system has no place in his plant and that organized labor lowers ambition. He urged inspiring men to increase earnings and said piece work governs all tasks. He blamed unions for dampening advancement and cited cost and impracticality of clerical oversight in efficiency schemes. He noted current layoffs from 19 500 to 8 200 and reduced hours due to slack demand from railroad equipment and carbuilder sectors amid interstate rate delays.
