Discharging the men is, of course, effective as far
as that individual is concerned, and this is in all
cases the last step; but it is desirable to have
several remedies between talking and discharging
more severe than the one and less drastic than the
other.
Usually one or more of the following expedients
are adopted for this purpose:
First. Lowering the man’s wages.
Second. Laying him off for a longer or shorter
period of time.
Third. Fining him.
Fourth. Giving him a series of “bad marks,” and
when these sum up to more than a given number
per week or month, applying one or the other of the
first three remedies.
The general objections to the first and second
expedients is that for a large number of offenses they
are too severe, so that the disciplinarian hesitates
to apply them. The men find this out, and some of
them will take advantage of this and keep much of
the time close to the limit. In laying a man off, also,
the employer is apt to suffer as much in many cases
as the man, through having machinery lying idle or
work delayed. The fourth remedy is also objection-
able because some men will deliberately take close
to their maximum of “bad marks.”
In the writer’s experience, the fining system, if
