Indianapolis War Plants Keeping Track of Absenteeism; Seek Cure
ABSENTEEISM FROM
WAR PRODUCTION LINES
is basically an industrial problem, not one for social workers to meddle in nor one which Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker’s - “shame on you” speeches can solve. Anti-labor individuals are taking advantage of the grow-
ing absenteeism problem by
trying to smear the role of
labor in the war effort. It is a lowly tactic, just as unfair as
it is for labor leaders to cry
that corporations are reaping
rich war profits, but not taking into consideration net profits, after paying taxes. Both insult the intelligence of the publio.
Some of the absenteeism is caused by drunken workers with hangovers, true. How much of it? No one knows. Some may be caused by high wages. Now much? No one knows. The causes and cures for absenteeism are not known definitely. That is why the smear boys are getting by with the fantastic claims they are making. If you will look at a chart the InMr. Budrow dianapolis war manpower committee has, you can see that in the major war plants of the city three times as many workers are on the job from 7 a. m. to 5 and 6 p. m. as on the owl and swing shifts. ‘Working those hours they have little or no time for shopping, going to the bank, the grocery store, the barber shop and looking after the necessaries. If a man works seven days a week or six with Sunday off, he has to knock off work a day now and then to tend to such matters. Could that be part of the
= answer to the absentee?
If it is, then it may be necessary to ask banks to stay open an evening now and then; or stores to remain open mee than one night a week; and so on. : Genuine sickness and poor scheduling of production must also be taken into consideration. Normally the absentee rate is around 3 per cent. Best guess is that now it hovers around 5 per cent,
The Indianapolis war manpower committee is tackling the problem in a forthright fashion. The war plants here this week have been keeping track of absenteeism and just what caused it. When results are compiled they will know how to go: about solving the situation, They plan to have factory managers swap ideas on what worked and

what didn’t work in reducing absenteeism. Such a policy 1s far better than heading into it blindly, with only prejudices to guide. 8 » ® PROGRESS LAUNDRY Co. had smaller profits, paid less in dividends last year chiefly because of higher taxes, although business improved. ~ The company, which also owns Sterling Laundry, Tiffany, Swiss Cleaners, Gregg & Son and Godfrey Realty Co, here, had a net income of $92,700 last year, compared with $116,400 in 1941. Stockholders got 90 cents a share in dividends, against $1.25 in 1941. Prices were raised in April but later the OPA ordered them cut back to March, 1942, ceilings. The company is asking to have that ceiling raised to cover increased production costs. : 8 8 ®
CIRCLE THEATRE Co. paid its usual $3 a share in dividends last year although it did not earn that much. The balance came from accumulated profits of previous years. For the first time in many years the company will have to pay income taxes; they will total $14,000 to $15,000. ” 2 ” ODDS AND ENDS: The vacancy on Indianapolis Power & Light Co. board of directors caused by death of Charles True Adams of Chicago will not be filled; plans are to cut board membership from 11 to 10. . +» » Studebaker will pay a 25-cent dividend March 31... , Goat meat
