The city of Cleveland is: second only to New York ia its production of women’s ‘ready-to-wear . garments. As the women’s wear business is ‘said to be second only to:the steel -business-in mngmt\ldo “in‘the: country, the clothing industries in Cleveland are. of considerable ' size and “importance. ' ‘The fact, ‘therefore, that a great industrial engineering 1 * firm has been engaged to make time studies through- . .out'the industry.in that eity, and that a guaranteed . wage for forty weeks of the year, ‘beginning in September, is: to- be based -on these studies, with Lull | consent. and approval of employerl, workezs ' ‘gnd the representatives of the public, :is ofx more ‘than passinginterest. ““This is the first time,” uys the Clevehnd Plain Dealer, “that any industry in the United: States ': .and its workers_have agreed upon and. appliedthe ‘principles of scientific management in ‘establishing a ‘wage payment basis' on productlon standards !au'ly “rand: accurately determined.” - . . y A" One of ‘the basic difficulties of the . garment trddes has been 'their highly seasonal ch;ncwr This was lamented by workers and employers alike by workers because of the idle seasons following the overworked ‘ones, by employers: because of ‘the constantly chungm; penonnel of. their employees. . .

Perhaps later the time can be lengthened, - but thie in ibell ‘marks an improve- ment. . .. Moreover, “the cost of the mdusmal survey to establish the wage standards is being borne jointly by.the union workers and: the manufacturers.” The millennium has not yet arrived, but at least common - sense is-heginning to percolate through . the ‘business: world: -When employm and em- ployees come 'to realize ‘and ‘act upon_ the great fundamental truth that their interests are identical, and that those ‘of all other. ‘citizens ‘are identical with theirs, order and comfort and ‘happiness will Begin, to emerge: from the ‘present welter of 'dis- ; “erder, discomfort and dlscontent PRESS COMMENTS—THAT’S Al.l.
