I's coming!" came the voice from mid-stream, for the old ferryman was already half across the river with a chance passenger. In a few minutes more the boat grated upon the shore and the passenger jumped out, tipped his hat to the duke, and hurried up the river road toward North End. "Dat pusson were Mr. Thomas Rylan', fust foreman ober all de founderies. Dere's a many foremen, but he be de fust.
The first of the functional foremen to be brought into actual contact with the men should be the inspector; and the whole system of inspection, with its proper safeguards, should be in smooth and successful operation before any steps are taken toward stimulating the men to a larger output; otherwise an increase in quantity will probably be accompanied by a falling off in quality.
They're no good now, but you bet your life they will be! And I'm going to stick along at the foundry until the old man wakes up some day, and realizes that I'm getting more out of my men than any other two foremen in the place. Those boys would do anything for me " "Because you're a very unusual type of man to be in that sort of place, Bill!" Susan interrupted.
With his years of practice on the Gridley High School athletic team he was not one to lose his wind readily. So he made his way at the same speed all the way up to the camp. "Who dar?" called a negro watchman, as Tom raced up to the outskirts of the camp. "Reade, chief engineer," Tom called, then wheeled and made off to the right, where the more substantial barracks of the foremen stood.
"That's just as it turns out," Reade went on, with a vehemence that astonished his chum. "Harry, what's our office address? Where are our assistant engineers -where our draftsmen? Where are our foremen that we could summon to great undertakings? Where is the costly equipment that we would need as a firm of really great engineers?
They were only the foremen, mechanicians, and their assistants, the pattern-makers, the accountant, and so on all of good appearance, in new black coats. They were all first-rate men, as it were picked men; each one knew his value that is, knew that if he lost his berth today, people would be glad to take him on at another factory.
Then is a chance of getting regular dock work, and that is, to lounge about the pubs where the foremen go, and treat them. Then they will very likely take you on next day." R. P. was a non-Unionist. Henry F. is a Unionist. His history is much the same. "I worked at St. Katherine's Docks five months ago. You have to get to the gates at 6 o'clock for the first call.
The only out-door world he saw was between the rear door of the office and the long, low boarding-house where the foremen and clerks lived. One corner of the great room upstairs, where a hard bed ran up against the roof, and one place at the long, oilcloth-covered table, he had the privilege to call his own for the modest sum of a gold piece a week.
But such an action might have caused distrust of my management, and an honest name is a valuable asset in a cowman's capital. My ranch foremen made up the herds and started my individual cattle on the trail.
The foremen will work more cheerfully if rewards are offered them, and particularly pains must be taken to see that they have some property of their own, and that they marry wives among their fellow servants, who may bear them children, some thing which will make them more steady and attach them to the place.
