Highly efficient, new, powerfulmachinery, labor-saving devices and automatic machinerycounteract this increase to a certain extent, but cannot besolely relied upon to keep the cost of production down un-less combined with the increased efficiency of labor. !Mod-em equipment is very costly and proves to be but an addi-tional burden if not worked to its full capacity. Therefore,in the vital problem common to all modem industries ofhow to keep the cost of production down, the question ofincreasing the efficiency of labor is of the greatest impor-tance, and in many instances it is even more importantthan modernizing and improving the equipment. This isparticularly true in regard to railway shops. Compulson, methods of increasing the efficiency of work-men have been discarded, as they do not produce resultsThe prosp>ect of
