The “speed-up” and the “stretch-out” are favorite old battle cries in resisting improved output per worker. , u t ► In the pick and shovel days—and in the early days of crude factory operation—there was all too frequently some justification for increased output per worker to be described in such terms. Then, “speed-up” tpo often meant more production at the expense of the worker. Now, constantly improving machinery enables the employee to get far greater production from a normal day’s effort—well within all considerations of health and strength. Now in today’s buyer's market we Americans can make the greatest progress we have made in a long time. Everyone is again seeking new designs and equipment and methods so that mechanical power and brain power can get more and better goods turned out at more attractive prices—with still just an honest day’s physical effort. We in business—employees and management—are striving to make this progress because we have to. The customer is the boss again, and he is making us get rid of the wasteful, indulgent habits of boom times. The buyer is back in the driver’s seat, and serving notice on us that he will not buy unless we really take an interest in our work... begin to exercise our skill and ingenuity ... cut out waste of materia’ and motion and time ... make sure we begin doing again exactly what he—our “customer-boss” —wants done. Even if it were still possible for some employer here in America to set inhuman standards and drive his employees to backbreaking toil, it could last for a very little while because the employees would rebel. Or, if they did not, mistakes would occur, quality and reliability would suffer, rejections would actually cut down the amount of good production accomplished, and costs would rise. No enlightened employer would fail to realize that asking good employees to work beyond their reasonably comfortable capacity would not only be contrary to the basic principle of putting the human considerations first, but also would be so shortsighted as

Air Brake Failure Blamed For Crash Indianapolis, May 31—(UP)—An air brake failure was blamed today for the crash of a switch engine into the rear of a passenger train in Uni -n railroad station which injured 15 persons. Nine of the injured were taken to hospitals but all except two were released after treatment. None was hurt seriously.

What is a Speed-Up? JinAnd what is just an honest day’s work?

The company whose management and employees start working together the most quickly, efficiently and eagerly-in today's tough market-is the company that will increase the quality of its products the fastest... offer the most attractive prices and best values... make the most sales... and so have the fewest layoffs... furnish the most and the steadiest jobs during the troubled period ... and provide the greatest job security in the future. If making better products at lower prices to sell more customers and create more jobs can be called a speed-up, then we have all got to recognize that there is now-instead of the old bad kind of speed-up-a new kind of good speed-up.

to endanger the very life of the company along with the security of the jobs. - -J i In good times and bad General Electric tries honestly to pay what is right for a fair day’s work. And we believe an honest day’s work is made up of the full interest, care and skill of the General Electric employee in addition to what is regarded as a reasonable output of effort according to modem standards. It is not expected that General Electric employees will go home feeling fresher than when they came to work, although we sometimes wonder if our employees don’t leave work Friday night a little less tired than when they come to work on Monday morningafter one of our American weekends. We know of no way any of us can do an honest day’s work without going home at least a little tired; but that seems still well within what would be a fair price for the good pay, extra benefits, and other satisfactions we try to include in every General Electric job. If there are any cases of employees being subjected to the back•breaking work or other severe conditions deserving the name of “speed-up” or “stretch-out,” it would be most amazing to all concerned. And it would be a real favor to the manager of any such employee to be told by the employee why he so regarded his job. . x , It angers some people, of course, to see the employee and the employer buckling down to work together more creatively ... more earnestly... more productively... in the common interest of attracting more customers. It angers people who are against progress... who don’t want the American system to work. What some people are trying to tar-and-feather as the "speed up" and “stretch-out” is simply that steady progress in lengthening men’s arms ... that substitution of mechanical effort for human effort ... which makes it possible for each of us to get more done—for ourselves and each other—in the same time with the same or even less effort.
