In 1913 I recommended the gradual substitution of B.E.'s for Farmans on the ground of the all-round efficiency and superior fighting qualities of the former, and to secure the advantage of standardization, but it was objected by the War Office that the Farmans were the only machines that could mount weapons in front an objection which was not met until firing through the airscrew was introduced and that the slower Farmans offered greater advantages for observation, an idea which was long prevalent.
Probably no extension of wage standardization in industry has ever taken place without injuring some individuals. It is the net balance of gain or loss that is significant.
Yet I love England. And for standardization just look at the sidewalk cafes in France and the love-making in Italy! "Standardization is excellent, per se. When I buy an Ingersoll watch or a Ford, I get a better tool for less money, and I know precisely what I'm getting, and that leaves me more time and energy to be individual in.
The principle of wage standardization defined and explained. Section 4. The characteristics of the standard wage examined. Section 5. The effect of the standard wage on individual independence and initiative. Section 6. The effect of the standard wage on the distribution of employment within the group. Section 7. Its effect upon industrial organization, prices, and managerial ability. Section 8.
Moreover, conditions are no better than they were a hundred years ago. There's been no progress. Powart admits that. "Now, placing that fact alongside the rest, I reach this conclusion: that the people of Capallette, no matter what may have been their experience in the past, do not now care for revolutionary ideas. They want standardization, not change.
Their earnings are often more than those of other girls of their intelligence and training who are in offices or stores; but there is of course little chance of advancement, and there is still the prejudice against domestic work to be reckoned with. Here, as with household assistants, the greatest drawback is probably lack of standardization of work and of working conditions.
An agreement was made providing for increased wages, standardization of piece-work, a preferential shop, and appointment by the firm of a person to hear grievances and to coöperate with a representative of the union in securing redress. The union in this case was fortunate in being represented by a high-minded man who was a real statesman.
Some of these changes are coming from readjustment in the coördination of industrial processes themselves. We hear much of standardization and stabilization. An economic technique and the control of fluctuating conditions might do much to increase the efficiency of industry in every way.
In view of the variety of considerations that bear upon the problem, only a tentative conclusion will be ventured. Namely, that when in any industry the wage scales prior to standardization do reflect the differences in the cost of living at the different centers in which the industry is carried on, such differences should be maintained.
Miss Cather would not belong to her generation if she did not resent the trespasses which the world regularly commits upon pioneers and artists. For all the superb vitality of her frontier, it faces and she knows it faces the degradation of its wild freedom and beauty by clumsy towns, obese vulgarity, the uniform of a monotonous standardization.
