Fight on Waste
Saves Millions
<$-
Simplification and Stand-
ardization Accomplishes
Much.
Washington.—Hundreds of millions
f dollars have been saved for Ameri-
■nn manufacturers, distributors and
•onsuiuers as a result of the campaign
or waste elimination, simplification
\nd standardization Inaugurated five
ears ago by the Department of Com-
; jaieree. The actual saving cannot even
ie approximated and Secretary Hoover,
u his annual report, says that what
Jhe country as a whole has accom-
•M.slied in Increased national efficiency
i these directions is impossible of
Measurement, although it represents
•ne of the most astonishing transf-
ormations In economic history."
While the government has been aid-
ing actively in the campaign in many
•cittc directions the whole program
s been one fundmentally tof stimu-
e action among industries, trades
•id consumers themselves.
"It Is obviously not the function of
overnmcnt to manage business,"
lys Mr. Hoover, "but to investigate
jonomic questions, to survey eco-
jniJc phenomena and point out the
i dy for economic failure or the
to progress, to Inspire and as-
co-operative action and to stimu-
e forces to these ends—surely all
:ese are well within the proper field
public service."
229 Committees at Work.
Since this work was undertaken
V7 ine IKK) group conferences have been
V #*!<! under government auspices, prac-
\ cally all at the request of the Iiidus-
•Jes themselves, and 22!) committees
ire now at work on various phases of
'**A the program.
\ Discussing the fundamental purposes
\.<f the campaign for waste elimina-
tion Secretary Hoover says the phil-
osophy underlying it has but one pur-
pose—that is. to maintain American
standards of living for both workers
and farmers and to place production
imi a more stable footing. The high
standards of living enjoyed by tlVe
American people are the result of
steadily mounting per capita productiv-
ity, he says. There Is only one way fur-
ther to advance these standards, and
that Is by Improved methods and proc-
esses, by the elimination of waste in
materials and motions In our produc-
tion and distribution system.
"Just us 20 years ago we undertook
nation-wide conservation of our nat-
ural resources," continues Secretary
Hoover, "so we must today even more
vigorously sustain this campaign of
better nation-wide utilization of our
industrial resources and effort. More
especially Is this the case in view of
the many complex forces which have
arisen from the war. and particularly
the difficulty of maintaining our situ-
ation as against the competition of a
world of lower standards overseas."
What Has Been Attempted.
The major • directions of this effort
which tire commerce secretary has
been leading for half a decade In-
clude :
The elimination of waste in railway
transportation by the provision of
adequate facilities and better meth-
ods; the vigorous Improvement of our
inland waterways; the enlarged elec-
trification of the country for the sav-
ing In fuel' and labor; the reduction
of the pclodic waves of unemploy-
ment; an Improved statistical service
for Industry; the reduction of season-
al employment In construction and
other Industries and of intermittent
employment In such industries as
bituminous coal mining; the develop-
ment of co-operative marketing and
better terminal facilities in agricul-
tural products in order to reduce the
waste In agriculture distribution; the
stimulation of commercial arbitration
In order to eliminate the wastes of
litigation anil the reduction of the
waste arising from industrial strife
between employers and employees.
The reduction of waste in manufac-
ture and distribution Is to be brought
about through the establishment of
grades, standards of quality, dimen-
sions and performance In nonstyle ar-
ticles of commerce, through the sim-
plification In dimensions of ninny ar-
ticles of manufacture and the reduc-
tion of unnecessary varieties, nat
through more uniform business docu-
ments such as specifications, bills of
lading and warehouse receipts.
Since tile co-operative service was
inaugurated, more than fifty simplifi-
cations have been achieved by the in-
dustries and trades concerned, result-
ing In an average reduction In varie-
ties of 7.'1 per cent. Among these
eliminations of varieties, thirty-one
apply to products of Iron, steel and
other metals; eight to lumber, puper
and other products derived from
wood; seventeen to -lay, cement,
glass and other products of a min-
eral nature, and four to textiles.
The annual value of manufactured
goods affected by these simplifications
runs well over 000,000,000, It Is de-
clared.
A striking Illustration of the need
of this work Is found In the case of
one product, single bit axes. Former-
ly these axes were produced and mar-
keted In thirty-four models, four
grades, thirty-five brands, eleven
finishes and nineteen sizes, and the
total varieties of the thirty-four types
actually purchasable were 0,148. Sim-
plification and standardization have
not been completed, but the results
will be comparable to those lu-other
lines.
For Instance, where there were
4,400 sizes or varieties of shovels,
spades and scoops In use, only 884 are
now retained, a reduction of 02 per
cent. Wovenwlre fence packages
have been reduced from 2.07'4..to 138,
or 04 per cent; metal lath from 125 to
24, or 81 per cent; files and rasps
front 1,351 to 41)0, or 03 per cent;
forged tools from 0fl.r> to 8T>1, or 47
per cent; range boilers from 130 to
13, or 00 per cent; tucks and nails
from 428 to 181. or 58 per cent, and
packing weights of tacks and nails
from 423 to 121, or 71 per cent.
On the whole,' builders' hardware
has been reduced from 34,800 varie-
ties and sizes Co 10,048.
Car Shortages Disappear.
For the transportation Industry it
Is reported tliut the elimination of
waste has done much toward the pro-
vision of udequate transportation.
The periodic car shortages of many
years past have practically disap-
peared. although the tonnage load
has Increased more than 25 per cent
since 1921. Average weekly car load-
ings In that period have Increased
from 093,533 to 086,475; the number
of miles per day from 22.4 to 20.0,
and the average tralnload from 050 to
731 tons.
For the building, 37 varieties of
smooth-face brick. 38 of rough-face
brick and 44 of common brick have
been reduced to one variety of each ;
hollow building tile have been re-
duced from 3(1 to 10, roofing, slate
from 08 to 48. concrete building units
from 115 to 34. and so oil.
Secretary Hoover also calls atten-
tion to figures from the Department
of Labor showing that whereas in
1020 the wage rare was 00 per cent
abovp the prewar level and the whole-
sab' juice level, 120 per cent above
prewnr, in 1924, the wage rate hail
risen 'o 21v "*n", r prewar, while the
' 'Ik-sale price level had. dropped to
per ccnf iilmve prewar.
Comparable figures show that the
British wage rate in 1920 was 130 per
cent above prewar, and the wholesale
price level 1S3 per cent above pre-
war. wlille in 1024 wage rates and
wholesale prices had dropped to 70
and 74 per cent, respectively, above
prewar.
"While wages are higher In the
I'lilted States than in 1020, wholesale
prices are lower," says the secretary.
"We thus have the highest real wage
in our history and we have had three
years of remarkable price stability."
AGRICULTURISTS PLAN
STATEWIDE CONFERENCE
Austin, Tex.—A statewide confer-
ence to plan larger feed crop acreage,
reduction of cotton planting in 1920,
and the solution of marketing prob-
lems, was called Thursday by Agricul-
tural Commissioner Geo. B. Terrell
for January 23, at Dallas.
Purpose of the conference enum-
erated are:
Encourage reduction of cotton acre-
age.
Encourage growing of better staple
cotton.
Planting of enough feed crops to
supply the state.
Proper rotation of crops and soil
building.
To formulate plans for county and
school district organization to achieve
these objectives.
To discuss marketing and other re-
lated problems.
To elect delegates to the Southwide
agricultural conference to be held in
Memphis, Tenn., February 3.
The appeal is addressed to all far-
mers, farm organizations, county
agenst, teachers, editors, bankers and
business interests of the state.
Commissioner Terrell said that the
"time has arrived for prompt and
proper action in behalf of our agricul-
tural interests. Agriculture and all
kindred interests are threatened with
bankruptcy if present agricultural
practice are continued. A bumper
cotton crop this year with consequent
low prices and short feed crops will
surely bankrupt the state. A better
system of farming and marketing i
imperatively demanded."

matism, lumbago, pains and aches of
the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles,
bruises, chilblains, frosted feet, colds of
the chest (it may prevent pneumonia).
