He was either drinking or getting over drunks as a general thing. Then he was mighty lazy and shiftless." "Poor Mumsy! You've had a right hard time with us Bucks. Grandfather Buck was so lazy he worried you to death and I'm so energetic I know I annoy you terribly. But all this talking isn't selling toilet articles to house parties. By the way, I got a 'phone message from my motormen.
Otherwise, they will be considered discharged, and every vacancy will be filled by a new man as soon as his services can be secured. He also noted among the want ads. one which read: WANTED. 50 skilled motormen, accustomed to Westinghouse system, to run U.S. mail cars only, in the City of Brooklyn; protection guaranteed. He noted particularly in each the "protection guaranteed."
"I'm sure two boys would start right out and find their way to Grace's." "Would you dare?" cried Bess. "Why not? Come on! We don't want to spend all our money in taxi fares. Let's go over there and ask that car man who seems to be bossing the conductors and motormen." The girls, with their handbags, started across the great square before the station.
... They were heavy wool and blue. It was not the fabric alone, but the cut that held my eye. They were shaped somehow like a wide W that a child might bend with stiff wire, a letter made to stand alone. I suppose some firm makes them in great quantities for motormen and conductors. Had we not been led by easy grades to the acceptance, these things would have cried out for our eyes.
Why, it wasn't the writing of an "anarchistic crank" at all on the contrary, the writer was if anything more excusing toward the men who were giving the drivers and motormen a dollar and ten cents a day for fourteen hours' work "fourteen hours!" cried Jane, her cheeks burning yes, Selma Gordon was more tolerant of the owners of the street car line than Jane herself would have been.
It is therefore not surprising, but only to be expected, that such older, model men, while doing fair work in the test, are yet not seldom far surpassed by bright, quick, young motormen who are twenty years younger, even though they are not yet ideal motormen.
I select these two functions, as both play a practically important rôle in the technique of modern economic life and as in both occupations very large numbers of individuals are engaged in the work. The problem of securing fit motormen for the electric railways was brought to my attention from without.
The experimental aid which the laboratory has to supply in such cases is not a newly invented device, such as we needed in the case of the motormen, but simply the methods well known as so-called mental tests. The experiments with such tests by which single mental functions are measured approximately in short quick examinations, has been much discussed in psychological circles.
In short, we have a great variety of mental types of this characteristic unified activity, which may be understood as a particular combination of attention and imagination. My effort was to transplant this activity of the motormen into laboratory processes. And here I may include a remark on the methodology of psychological industrial experiments.
And more than once conductors or motormen of cars have been in with the rascals." "It doesn't seem possible!" protested Alice. "It is though," her father assured her. "I read in a newspaper the other day how two fakers were found out and arrested. But they had secured a large sum in damages, so I presume they figured that it paid them.
