SHOP MANAGEMENT
which a union could prevent the boss from ordering
the man to put his driving belt just where he said
and using just the feed that he said, and in doing that
the workman can hardly fail to get the work out on
time. No union would dare to say to the manage-
ment of a works, you shall not run the machine with
the belt on this or that cone step. They do not
come down specifically in that way; they say,
"You shall not work so fast,” but they do not say,
“You shall not use such and such a tool, or run with
such a feed or at such a speed.” However much
they might like to do it, they do not dare to inter-
fere specifically in this way. Now, when your
single man under the supervison of a speed boss,
gang boss, etc., runs day after day at the given speed
and feed, and gets work out in the time that the
instruction card calls for, and when a premium is
kept for him in the office for having done the work
in the required time, you begin to have a moral
suasion on that workman which is very powerful.
At first he won’t take the premium if it is contrary
to the laws of his union, but as time goes on and it
piles up and amounts to a big item, he will be apt
to step into the office and ask for his premium, and
before long your man will be a thorough convert to
the new system. Now, after one man has been per-
suaded, by means of the four functional foremen, etc.,
that he will earn more money under the new system
than under the laws of the union, you can then take
the next man, and so convert one after another right
through your shop, and as time goes on public opinion
will swing around more and more rapidly your way.
