iNDtlSTRY lS nurture THE ‘
‘ Asunuons or LABOR
.A‘lllANAPOLIS. 1nd.. July 3.—
Wustefuiness in American industrial
end commercial life. constitutes one
of the greatest obstacles in the way
of lsbor‘s aspirations. James M.
Lynch. president. of tho internation-
.Il Typographicul Union. said in a
statement issued to members today.
[‘he statement was based upon find-
.mgs of an economic investigation
:onductcd by the union.
"Enormous waste in “'t‘tlllll and
manpower characterizes nearly every
line of American business endeavor."
raid Mr. Lynch. “The. ‘iniddle man'
takes an unnecessary heavy toll from
produc‘er and consumer. Selling and
:redit costs run the nation’s bill for
necessities to an absurdly high lig-
ure.
"Improvement in the lot of the
worker-wage-earncr and farther can
not be greatly advanced until the na-
tional habit of~ wastefulncss is as-
sailed and reduced.
“I think it may be boldly assert-
ed that four hours a day of labor.
certainly not more than six hours.
would suffice to produce all the man-
ufactured things necessary to human
existence in this country. and that
with scinetttlc methods applied to
agricultrue, the farms would yield
sufficient food on the basis of tin
average six-hour day to meet the
needs of humanity, if the chief items
of waste could be eliminated.
"We have come to speak of sales-
manship almost with bated breath as
the great American nrt. yet as a
matter of fact intensive selling meth-
ods are intrinsically wasteful and of
no real service to immunity. it has
become common business practice to
dispose of merchandise and service.
not on the grounds of quality and
merit, but by virtue of superior sales-
manship. Manufacturers allow an
lgh as forty per cent. of their total
operating expense for selling. The
jobber adds his selling cost and the
l‘t'lflllf‘l‘ adds his. and eventually the
consumer pays double or triple the
value of his purchase foi- the luxury
of being persuaded to buy.
"Modern advertising media have
attained the capacity to exhibit all
the merchandise anyone has to sell
before all prospective ihlyers with-
out the aid of armies of autonomy
combing the country to harass buy-
ers into investing.
"That we are overdolng this selling
business is a natural conclusion it
Mic but reflects upon the manner in
which salesmen are greeted in the
average office. They are not want-
cd. They are looked upon as a. nui-
snnce. Most buyers know they can
go to market for all that they nest?
and that they would save much time
if relieved of the importunitlcs of
salesmen. It is becoming axiomatic
that if one possesses talent as a
salesman he can make money wheth-
er hc. possesses any useful knowl-
edge or honesty of purpose or not.
Ilence more and more young men
and women are crowding into the
selling business instead of into pro-
guclng lines.
“From an ethical viewpoint any
talent. beyond knowledge of his pro.
duct. that a salesman employs in his
work must be of little value to or-
‘gunized society, if not downright dis-
honest. Certainly selling. regarded
as a profession. soon shades off into
polite swindling. I am speaking. of
course, of the peripathetic or out-
side salesman. whose mind toems
with schemes for artful triumphs
over buyers.
“Without conceding too much

from the general superiority of
American industrial and commercial
methods. we might deign to observe
the European attitude toward the
salesman. The glib monologist and
the cheap iactician. whose exploits
form so large a. part of American
folk lore. would not be tolerated for
a minute in England. for instance.
The. salesman is‘o. native American
nuisance.
"it is not the intention to con-
demn all salesmen. Some servo u

number of men and women. ongag.
ad more or less successfully in sell-
ing,in this country. comes near to
approximating the number actually
engaged in production. ‘Their num-
ber could, be reduced by about one-
bait with-out any great loss to na-
tional wealth or service. and with
this half restored to useful labor
material wealth would be vastly in-
creased.
"Destructlvoness and wastefulness
in business mflhods are drawing on
grave dangers. Consider that the
total debt of nation. state. county.
city and other civil divisions. 1922-
1028, was 332.780.717.000. of which
the debilof'thoso units, other than
the Federal government with its war
debts. totaled more than 810.000.-
000.000 and the indebtedness of
many of those units is constantly In-
creasing; and consider. also, that
the total wealth of the United
States. as represented by gold and
currency. is approximately $8,746.-
000,000. or about one-fourth of the
governmental indebtedness.
"Consider. too. the labyrinth of
individual debt that it now reaching
into the most modest homes as well
as into the high places. I am told
that many business’houses aro go-
ing in for installment selling exclus-
ively bccnuso they are learning that
credit buyers scrutinise neither
price nor quality as closely as do
cash buyers. and furthermore an in-
stallment plan customer once ‘hook-
ed' is bound to continue patronizing
his creditor.
' “Any proposal looking to reduc-
tion of waste is certainly in order.
All classes of society should come
to frown upon‘ wasteful business
methods as detrimental to the pub-
lic interests. Andgthe worker's con-
cern should be greatest of all since.
under present conditions. his share
of life‘s good things is always the
first to be menaced."

Walking his beat. Robertson saw a

"The thing went all over me.” said
Robertson an American Logionnairc.
“I called out for themxto halt. They
