Et la 'the industrial section of the infationary spiral there are two remedies which, it 13 ally conceded, would be helpful if they could be applied.

They are better labcrmanagement relations and increiser prod'action. y'y The two go hand hi hand. And a possible means of achieving both is found in the Trubey profit-sharing. Eysfemwhich has been attracting considerable attention recentlyor in some other an embodying the same general ideas. The Trubey iystern is not new.

Developed by Trubey, a Fremont, Ohio, is based on a proft-sharing plan devised by his present associate, Jonoeder. The lloeder plan has been installed in more than 70 plants in the past 18 years, and is still operating in all of them but one. The Trubey system is explained thus in an article on the Ohioan in Look, magazine: "Any employee from president to cleaning with the company for two years, becomes eligible, with one year retroactive. lie then contributes ait automatic 5 per cent raise, but no more than $2p0. atarnilly, to a tuna.

"Each year the company adds 25 per cent of its profits before federal taxes, or up to $3 tithe worker's $1. The employeeogets his money at GO, or at 50 if he has worked for the company for 20 years. If he quits or is fired, this contribution is returned, plus-- half thi company's. The other half stays in the fund for the benefit of remaining trtans.lfered Questions In Pollution Control There were two interesting pints which have yet to te.answered in the efforts of the lirasoachusetts Departmeni cf Public IL-alth to. control pollution in setts inland waters.

The situation can be seen In perspective by a comparison with the Mood and the statistic of 1919-21.

Such system; of course, raises the collective blood pressure in a couple of schools of economic thought. One makes lowest possible costs (including wages) and highest possible profits the Erst consideration, and gears operations accordingly. The other, works toward a goal of more and more wages for less and less work, and considers high individual productivity to be threat to job opportunities.

The Trubey plan, and'others like it, encourage efficiency and tligh production. If a company operating wider it makes a big profit, everybody hits the jact-pot. If it has a losing year, nobody wins. The system seems entirely legitimate and highly sensibleolnless one happens to believe in state Men, quite naturally, there is the psycholxical appeal, of part ownership. The worker receivel dividends for his effort as the stockholder' does his money.

This logically leads to a community of interest and greater striving for -good 17lotions by management imd labor, since such rela- tions benefit each group. 'So the Interest that the Trubey plan is arousing seems only natural. It prefents a hopeful method of increasing production fairly and quickly, at a time when a still unfulfilled demand for many goods remains a large factor In. our cost of living. It also promises long-range benefits to all concerned management, workers, labor unions, and the'general public.

Letters housing Suggestions To the Editor of TEE EAGLE: Thanks tito the co-operative and i conscientious efforts of the many veterans housing committees, the Pittsfield Housing Authority, PCA, 1 the City Council, and many public-spirited individuais, it appears that there is an excellent -chance that Pittsfield will at last and in the near future relieve the extreme housing shortage by some 150 units. While is a good drop in the bucket, it is an important one because it is intended that the rents In this veterans' housing project will be kept reasbnably low. In a sincere effort to obtaln maximum benefit to the community front this project, the writer suggests consideration 'by the authorities, of the following factors which will have a beneficial and economic benefit above that of more adequate Shelter. For example, in this' day and age for safety and low I maintenance of the buildings, par. ticularly multiple Units, these should be treproof or near fireproof construction.

Concrete la one of our best and lowest priced building materials (Z3.50 a cubic 'yard). With the use of prefabricated steel forms, it is possiiile to get solid wall construction above and below the ground at lower prices than with the conventional wood frame methods. Incidentally, -the price of wood has increased 0 per cent while the price of concrete- has increased only 10 per cent from prewar prices. I do not mean that wood. should not be used where it Is appropriate.

Wood is still a beautiful finishing material. It Is important for the local purchasing power of the builders and workers that they be given every opportunity to participate in the construction work. Also the development ef the local building skill is a desirable factor. It leads to better and mere construction in the future. Consequently, it Is earnestly suggested that the entire project be developed as three separate parts or projects, each in the conventional manner by employing three separ- ate and local designing firmeone for each section.

Local contractors should bid competitively on the first section ready. The successful bidder to proceed with construction and be eliminated from bidding on the second section. The second successful contractor would proceed with his section and eliminated from bidding on the third eection. Thusly at least three local general contractors with their local labor would be involved. Without going Into the details and-- benefits of using professional local designing talent, there is also the real benefit of planning for the particular building sites selected.
