Dead Wood ^"
In my early 20's I had frequent r<ti
ealings with a small but old and *lat
eputable manufacturing corpora- ted
on. One day I lunched with a gray- go
aired employee, the superintend
nt, wno was quite unhappy. They r, i
ad lost their biggest contract. The ?,,m
>st customer was a young and lno
irifty retail firm whose needs lir.d ^
nally grown too large for the old , '
ranufacturer to supply.
Price had been a consideration,
f course. My companion admit?d
that several -competitors could
uote a lower price and make a r,vs
rofit when 'lis plant could not. It 1,0 ]
'as on account of the modern, high- i
peed equipment which the competi-1 is <
jrs used. Naturally I asked why j T
te old house couldn't install bet-1 tha
;r machinery. The superintendent | nndi
imply wagged his head and said, n ixl
dead wood." ? wj,fl
Unused Hands ,(,0I
"Our big bott is the chairman," for
e explained. "His brother is pres- ^
lent of the company. Each of them . :
as a son who is a vice-president. Tha *
scretary and the treasurer are both ,eT*
ans-in-law. I don't see any of them )on'
vice a year but they draw salaries 'nn;
s big as mine. We can't buy new vj8'(
quipment. Sometimes we are hard "itut
to pay for current materials the
romptly." , T
This was 25 years ago when a lot jrusl
f ranting (not altogether unjusti- and
ed) was heard about the "idle i,0tV
ich." But the tables have turned. it
merica's threat now is "idle poor."
his is more dangerous because the int,B
oor are more numerous. Idle hands (n
an ride any business to the ground (
ecause they retard production. In- '
ifferent workers are no less guilty
lan pampered payrollers.
riiDuc unemies ' ~',r
I was much Impressed by an arti- Arn]
le In the Houston Press a few weeks to i
go, written by a returned service 'l"1
lan. He had started to work in an rus<
flfice soon after he was discharged 50
nd, six weeks later, penned his con- tho
frnpt for civilian workers, men and won
omen. They systematically fritter the
way 50% of their working time, he to 1
harged. They can do it because of pr0!
le scarcity of workers. i f ..
There is an imported, alien doc- '
ine that capitalists will make too 0o"
rnch profit for the good of the pub- 1 our
c unless workers retard production Ktif.
>me way. It is venomous. NationI
enemies at whom American sol- foro
lers are thrusting bayonets today m?
re relatively harmless. They are
mch less liable to do humanity perlanent
harm than the slick sabo>urs
who plant a philosophy of idleess
in the minds of honest workers.
Work and Live
America's unique place among I
orld powers, the singularly high ;
tandard of living among American ,
writers and farmers, our national
icome and our national safety, deend
on work. Ability and willing- i_
ess to make things well and make
lem fast have put the United States
a top of the world. It is the secret 2_
t American prosperity, but in a
artling degree our people are being >
id away from the idea.
The world soon will be a market
ir manufactured goods, a market
f millions of people in poverty. If
merica fails to supply their needs,
irickly and at a price (possible^wlth
Sclent production) then cheapbor
countries will take the busims.
Dead wood can cheat Uncle &
am out of world trade and leave P
I to stew again In our own overqpply,
with low wages and poor llvg
conditions which we don't want
ad which eren't neceesary.
