Baltimore, Dec. 6.—A big Balti- more concern- believes deeds rather than words are effective in building up the much-desired morale among workers. bid - The Baltimore Shipbuilding and Drydock Co. is the firm in gquestion whose action has won the applause of ‘the U. S. employment sgervice. During the “fiu” epidemic here, hun- dreds of ‘the 17,000 workers of the big ‘plant were stricken. The management believed some- thing more practical than ‘‘speed-up” posters was necessary just then. It engaged five of the best physicians in the city who gave their entire time to treating the employes free of charge. What's more, the company established a special fund to be sent at’ the discretion of the doctors to re- lieve distress in workers’ homes. “An ounce of such practical hu- manitariaism-is worth many pounds of speed-up_ posters without anything tangible in the way of helpfulness to back them,” is the interesting com- ment in the official publication of the employment service. 4 S‘ubu':ribe".hr The Pioneer e REX i ~ GHAPLIN'S Bride MILDRED HARRIS LIEUT.
