,1015 \ND SALARY GfARANTEED MILWAUKEE <UP)— The first year's success of the Nunn-Bush Shoe Company plan, guaranteeing employes 52 uniform pay checks yearly and steady jobs despite business fluctuations, may lead to its idoption in other industries throughout the United States. President Henry L. Nunn, whose company inaugurated the steady pay plan in the fluctuating shoe industry 13 months ago, revealed that more than 66 large industrial concerns have sought information concerning it. “The plan has been so successful here that, judging from the numerous requests about it, I wouldn’t be surprised to see other industries adopt such a scheme,’* Nunn said. “I know a lot of industrial executives are thinking about the plan, anyway.” The plan is simple. It guarantees workers ‘‘a fixed percentage of the value of every pair of shoes produced,” Nunn explained. “We’re really partners here,” Nunn assorted. “The workers are secure in their jobs and no one fears what the future may bring in the way of economic depressions.’’ The plan has the endorsement of the company’s 700 employes who joined with the management recently in observing its first anniversary. The scheme was first put into operation in July, 1935, for a six-months experimental period. At the end of that period, the plan had proved so successful that it was adopted in a yearly basis. The 700 employes sign-

ed one-year contracts last January. The average wage per worker this year has been set at $1,200, of 19 1-2 per cent higher than when the plan first was adopted. Nunn also pointed out that employes received 12 1-2 per cent more in salaries during the last 12 months than they did the preceding year. Under the plan, the company each January estimates the workers’ annual salaries. They are budgeted into 52 weekly installments. Should the earnings of employes exceed estimates, the difference will be made up at the end of the year in adjusted compensation. On the other hand, should business decline and weekly payments amount to more than the fixed percentage of total output, salaries necessarily would be lowered. But, Nunn explained, the worker still would have his job and a pay check every week. Adjusted compensation after the original six months of the plan’s operation totaled $7,082, Nunn said. For the first six months of this year it reached approximately $19,500. Thus, the first year of the plan’s operation netted employes $26,582 in adjusted compensation. Good quality is the chief requisite of Nunn-Bush company’s employes. Never has a worker been discharged for slowness, the president said. “Life is just one grand sweet song out here,” explained the good-hum-ored executive, who pedals his bicycle to and from work daily while many of his employes use automo-

biles.

WOMAN LEADS IN NEW IDEAS TO AID PLANT

GENERAL ELECTRIC ADOPTS 51 SUGGESTIONS OF WIDOW EMPLOYE

SCHENECTADY, N. Y. (UP)—In the shop where Thomas A. Edison labored half a century ago, a widow of two children is earning additional income through minor innovations at the huge General Electric plant. The woman just thinks of how to make her work easier, then suggests the scheme to the boss, who puts it in operation, and Mrs. Sophie Baikusis is assured of a bonus on the next payday. Since joining the radio department more than nine years ago, ‘'Sophie’*, as she is known throughout the plant, has offered nearly 80 suggestions under the company’s suggestion system. Her first one changed a special and rather expensive type of screw into an ordinary one. This suggestion netted her a $30 bond in the General Electric Employes Securities Corpor-

ation.

The company has adopted 51 of her suggestions. Mrs. Baikusis was forced to seek work at the death of her husband She was left to suport two children, the oldest, not yet 2. She holds the record for suggestions in the Schenectady plants, and a company official said “it is doubtful if it has been bettered in any of the company’s other plants." For the men, William Jansen has a notable record of turning in suggestions. He has earned from $5 to $200, or more than $1,100 for more than 30 accepted schemes. While in the turbine department 15 years ago he watched fellow employes scrape the rough edges from turbine blades. He scratched his head, he says, went home, and the next day returned with a suggestion-—a mechanical device to relieve the workers of what he called a “back-break-ing” job. The company gave him $75. “I like fishing, hunting and camping,” he said, “but I get the greatest kick out of trying to simplify and j improve my work.” His highest award came eight years ago on a challenge. ’’They were using acetlyne gas for silver soldering,” he said. “I felt it made too hot a flame and that I could improve it. I was told it couldn't be done by many of my associates. Their doubt spurred me on to action.” The result was a flame of oxygen, mixed with illuminating gas. ‘'And I got $200 for the idea,” he

added.

DOG’S SENSE OF PERIL BEYOND UNDERSTANDING OXFORD, Eng., (l T P)—Disclosure at the conference of the Biitish Medical Association here that three dogs had saved their master in the Quetta earthquake last year has-revived discussion on the mystery of canine “sixth sense.’* The revelation at the conference was made by Sir Henry T. Holland, for 36 years chief of the QueUa Mission hospital. He related how at Quetta, an army instructor was pulled from his bed by his dog 22 minutes before the earthquakes, and was in the garden hunting for possible burglars when his house crashed. Two other dogs, he explained one belonging to a soldier, and another to a deaf woman, also pulled their owners from their beds. An official of the Canine Defense League expressed the belief that dogs knew of minute vibrations affecting their bodies which no machine could record. “I know of dogs,” he said, “which refused to cross condemned bridges or dangerous floors.” The fact that dogs can sense impending catastrophe was emphasize I by a Royal Veterinary College expert. “They can even tell,” he added, “what sort of weather is coming, but we have no idea how they know.” He quoted the case of a I ondon woman being roused from her bed by her dog. She went downstairs, wandered about, as if wondering what was wrong, and came back to find her bedroom full of gas from a broken pipe. Another instance of canine sagacity was quoted by an R. S. P C. A. official. A blind sheep dog, he said, refused for the first time in its life to answer the call of a shepherd because an inspector, who had been asked to destroy the dog, was present..
