first only the most flagrant cases for fining and those
offenses which affect the welfare of some of the other
workmen. It will not be properly and most effec-
tively applied until small offenses as well as great
receive their appropriate fine. The writer has fined
men from one cent to as high as sixty dollars per
fine. It is most important that the fines should be
applied absolutely impartially to all employés, high
and low. The writer has invariably fined himself
just as he would the men under him for all offenses
committed.
The fine is best applied in the form of a request
to contribute a certain amount to the mutual bene-
ficial association, with the understanding that unless
this request is complied with the man will be dis-
charged.
In certain cases the fining system may not produce
the desired result, so that coupled with it as an
additional means of disciplining the men should
be the first and second expedients of “ lowering
wages” and “laying the men off for a longer or
shorter time.”
The writer does not at all depreciate the value
of the many semi-philanthropic and paternal aids
and improvements, such as comfortable lavatories,
eating rooms, lecture halls, and free lectures, night
schools, kindergartens, baseball and athletic grounds,
village improvement societies, and mutual beneficial
associations, unless done for advertising purposes.

prove and elevate the workmen and make life better
