"Our efficiency ia not gained by speeding up
machines and men. It comes from minds free of
most of the worry that comes from wages so low
that the worker and his family are poorly nour
ished, poorly housed, pursued by loan sharks and
fearing that he may lose his job." From Henry
Ford's wonderful story of the success of his $5
a day plan, on the editorial page today. Read
it. It is intensely interesting and you can't af
ford to miss it.

At a conference with the editor of The Times to
, day, three influential merchants in Tacoma declaretl
• that it is up to the fifteen trustees of the Tacoma
Commercial club to oust T. H. Martin, the puffed up
"manager" of the club, and to oust him NOW.
Unless the trustees realise the seriousness of Mar*
tin's behavior, his contemptuous treatment of tha
rank and file of the membership, his utter disregard
for the real work required of him, of his peculiar
toadyism to "higher up" members whom he believes]
I can save his skin, then the members will start a re
jcall that the trustees cannot ignore.
"It would take v* Jnst, about »
two das to have the signatures
of ninety per cent ot the mem
bers of such a recall, said one
of the bust tie** men.
