LEADS ALL BRANCHES IN
NUMBER OF RECRUITS

WASHINGTON. I). C. Aug. i:>.—
The Motor Transport Corps leads all
other branches of the U. S. army in
rate of recruiting in proportion to its
authorized strength according to of-
ficial figures received at corps head-
quarters here. Since the beginning
of the intensive campaign March 1st.
btiOu men have been accepted and
sent to camps an average of 100 a
week.
The reason for the decided prefer-
ence. being shown by new recruits
and by old men re-enlisting for the
motor transport corps is to ih ? foui.d
in the plan of vocational training
schools at the great M. T. C. base
shops the first of which at Camp
fiolabird is to be opened 2.
Under this plan a man may learn
• u basic trade from expert instructor:;
in the finest shops of their kind in the
country and at the some time receive
good pay and free clothing shelter j
medical and dental attention alto-
gether more than equivalent tv) ?!M)J
per month in civil life. After comple-
tion of the basic course men of ara-;
bition who grade above the average I
will have the opportunity of receiving
post graduate instruction in special |
lines for which they may be fitted
and finally it is planned to -end m.m .
who stand above their fellow* m post
graduate work to a high grade Uvb-:
rical school for a year of spicial work '■
which will fit them for commissioned
rank in the motor transport corps to
become instructors in the M. T. C. |
schools or to occupy responsible posi-l
turns in the automobile industry.

TRAINING TO REDUCE THE
HIGH COST OF LIVING
A plan nation wide in scope \va
today inaugurated by Colonel Ar
thur Woods resistant to the sec re
tary of war for factory owners ant
industrial corporations throughout th<
country 200tl(l in number to under
take industrial training for then
workers at the same time that thej
pay them sufficient living wage dur
ing the period of their apprenticeship
This plan originates in the difficult
situation in which the country now.
finds itself because of the high cos
of living and the general industria
unrest. It is fedt by the office of tin
asistant to the secretary of war thal
the fundamental solution of the higl
cost of living lies in an increase o'
production; and that industrial train
ing at the same time that it accom-
plishes* this result will also make
eveiy worker whether skilled semi-
skilled or unskilled feel that he ha.-
a real opportunity for advancement
and for an increase in his earning
power.
Investigation by Colonel Woods’ of-
fice shows that American factories
sire running at a very low level of
efficiency. In New England for ex-
ample experts state that the factoric -
are not more than *>0 per cent effi-
cient. It is estimated that six million
men are being used today to do th *
work that four and a half million
■.- "" --"""?-""
I men could do if they were properly
trained. The average worker accord-
ing to these figures never atta ns an
output of ’".ore than 35 per cent of
his best < t’ficiency simply because
I he has never been trained to do his
work properly. Even a slight increase
in this level of efficiency will mean
a great increase in the national pro-
duction and a corresponding decrease
| in the cost of living.
• Those employers wno nave already
been approached with this s thject
and particularly those who have trie* 1
the scheme are thoroughly confident
of its feasibility acid tremendous pos-
sibilities. It is found that not only
is the productive power of these men
ipcracsed but that they actually pay
for them-eives at the same time that
they arc learning and that by the in-
' I crease in thsir individual efficiency
a fund of labor is created from which
expert- :n technical and managerial
i imparities can hi recruited. Some
j factories report a doubling of the
men’s output as a result of industrial
training. One shoe factory in Brook-
lyn reports that a number of appren-
| tic* * recently taken in at $15.00 per
| week to learn the work are now after
three to six weeks «»f careful train-
ing earning as high as $70.00 per
week. .
The plan appeals to the labor lead-
er' before whom it has been laid and
