JOB PROBLEM IS SOLVED BY SOAP MAKERS Procter & Gamble Assure Every Employe Work for 48 Weeks. Hy Pcrlppf-Tlotcird Xeicspaper Atltnnic CINCINNATI, April B.—Unemployment, following industrial depression, which had darkened lives of millions in recent months, cast no shadow on the 3,000 workers at Ivorydale, where Cincinnati’s most iamous product. Ivory soap, is made. The unemployment problem has been solved, so far as trained obervers can see, by William Cooper Procter, president of the Procter Gamble Company, and his officers and employes. After a week in Ivorydale recently, Miss Beulah Amidon, associate editor of the Survey Graphic magazine devoted to social rrvice, had a long talk w r ith a Cincinnati labor leader. “The P. & G. situation seems too ood to be true,” she said, according to her article in the April Sur-

vey Graphic. "I keep looking for the catch.” 48 Weeks Guaranteed “You won’t find It,” the labor leader answered, she reports. The r. & G. plan, In a nutshell, Is guaranteed employment to every ; worker forty-eight weeks in the | year. The company, selling direct to dealers, has distributed produc- | tion evenly over the entire twelve months. It as done away with rush periods and slack periods. This t ibilizatlon of production and employment has been a tremendous task. It has cost the company not less than $2,000,000 to establish. But it has paid dividends. “We couldn't give the exact figures,” says Colonel Proctor, “but we know it has paid in dollars and cents. However, those are not big values. The big value is not having on your conscience the chap who wants to work and can’t find a job.” So Much Needed Procter explains the plan simply. So much soap is needed every year. | why not make one-twelfth that amount each month? Thus the peaks of employment are sheared off and valleys filled. The guaranteed employment plan, as Lee J Zoeller, personnel director, points out, is only one phase of the Procter & Gamble system of making employes like their jobs. There is the P. & G. profit-sharing plan, under which workers may buy stock

in the concern. There are health insurance and old age pension plans. You see many workers past middle age at Ivorydale. At 65, an employe may retire on a pension. But they don’t have to. And many prefer to go on working. That is why there is such a small turnover in P. & G. employment, Zoeller explains. Many applicants come to the employment office each day, but there are few vacancies. NEGRO,FATHER OF 10 SOLDIERS, IS WEDDED Aged Man, Married Fourth Time, Gave Army 17 Descendants.
