Excerpt from Method of Directing the Work of Government Employees: Hearings Before the Committee on Labor, House of Representatives Sixty-Fourth Congress, First Session on H. R. 8665, a Bill to Regulate the Method of Directing the Work of Government Employees, March 30, 31, April 1, and 4, 1916 States Government to make or cause to be made with a stop watch or other time-measuring device a time study of any job of any such employee between the starting and completion thereof, or of the movements of any such employee while engaged upon such work. No premiums or bonus or cash reward shall be paid to any employee in addition to his regular wages, except for suggestions resulting in improvement or economy in the operation of any Government plant. Sec. 2. That any violations of the provisions of this act shall be deemed a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of not more than $500 or by imprisonment of not more than six months, at the discretion of the court. Mr. Emery. I represent, in opposition to the pending measure, the National Association of Manufacturers, composed of some 4,000 members operating manufacturing establishments in many of the States in the Union, and a great number of associations who are particularly opposed to this proposal, a list of which will be supplied to the committee. I desire first of all to express on behalf of those whom I represent and myself our appreciation, of the privilege which the committee has given us of appearing in opposition to this measure. As I understand it, no hearings have been held upon the pending bill at this session of Congress, but I was informed that Mr. Tavenner, the author of the measure, had made a statement to the committee concerning it, but as it was not reported, I am not familiar with the attitude assumed by him in support of the proposal; I shall therefore detain the committee but a very few moments with what I have to say, preferring to ask your attention to the testimony of gentlemen whose experience entitles them to speak with peculiar authority upon the principles of so-called scientific management, which is the subject of attack in the pending measure. The bill that is before you is a highly penal statute, and it undertakes to make criminal and to punish by fine and imprisonment acts which in themselves are certainly of an innocent character, and which either must indicate a malicious intent or must result in an end so injurious to the public welfare that in the judgment of this committee it has been necessary to attach, even in the employment of these methods by officers or employees of the Government, the penalty of fine and imprisonment. What is it that is penalized? The thing forbidden by this measure is the use by any officer or person having charge of the work of any employee of the Government of the United States of a stop watch or other time-measuring device for the purpose of making a time study of the job of any Government employee between the starting and completion of it, or of the movements of that employee while engaged on such work. The payment of any premium or bonus or cash reward is forbidden under penalty of six months´ imprisonment or $500 fine as a maximum, except for suggestions resulting in improvement or economy in the operation of the plan. Mr. Denison. Right there, the bill reported out had a slight amendment. Mr. Emery. I have not seen that, of course. Mr. Denison. There was an amendment inserted there which in substance reads, "for the purpose of fixing a service standard of the employees." Mr. Emery. You mean that no premium, bonus, or cash reward is to be paid for the purpose of fixing a standard? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
