POINT OF VIEW
- By DAN TROY —— *
Motivation in business and industry has been a problem of
prime consideration in the United,States since the very inception
of the private enterprise system. Motivation, more than any other
because of mass production, the worker has been removed
from the end product. A particular worker may screw a nut on
here and put a bolt on there as the product moves down the as
sembly line, but rarely does he ever see the end product of his
labors. How could any laborer ever be expected to take any pride
in a product when he never actually sees it?
The rise of powerful labor unions, more than any other one
thing on the American scene has also destroyed the motivation
of workers. As a result of labor unions, the worker we referred to
that screwed on a nut or tightened a bolt on the assembly line
gets paid ridiculously high wages for the service rendered and is
protected in his job by the unions.
Labor, it seems, no longer works for one company or an
other, but rather for the labor unions in the efforts to get “some
thing for nothing.” Labor holds the perverbial ax over the head
of management as they continually strive to gain more money,
more fringe benefits and shorter hours of work.
Labor is by far the most expensive single item in the produc
tion of any product. As a result, labor has priced American prod
ucts out of the world market. Each year American exports are
more and more difficult to sell on the world market simply be
cause the prices are not competitive. The natural end product of
this is a slump in business and the continual flow of gold out of
the country.
The only industry which has partially solved this problem is
the Textile Industry. Textile workers are paid on a price work
basis. That is, they receive a certain amount for every unit which
is produced. As a result, textile products in the last twenty years
have managed to keep prices relatively constant.
in the automobile Industry and the steel industry, for example,
workers are paid by the hour, regardless of the amount of units
which are produced. And naturally, prices of those commodities
are now almost out of the world. And still the U.S. Government
wonders why there are business slowdowns in these two important
areas.
Perhaps in the near future the U.S. Government will discover
the fairly obvious fact that the largest labor unions in the country
have grown to such proportions that they now constitute a trust,
and trusts are unlawful.
A great many changes will have to be made in the future in
both management and labor if the United States wants to con
tinue to exist under a sound economic system.

Mr. W. H. Lovin
Elected Fulton
National Officer
W. H. Lovin, 611 Watson Ferry
Drive, was elected Assistant
Cashier by the bank’s Board of
Directors at the regular monthly
meeting held Thursday.
Mr. Lovin joined Fulton Na
tional in 1950 and has worked in
several departments. Since 1955,
he has been Assistant Manager
of the bank’s Transit Depart
ment. He has attended Georgia
State College of Business Ad
ministration for several years
and will graduate this year with
a major in Finance. He lives
with his wife, Ellen Jean, and
five-month-old son in Forest

aspect of industry, has dominated the
time, thoughts and energy of manage
ment. Daily management looks for ways
and means by which they may motivate
workers to take pride in the products and
workmanship which they produce; they
look for methods to motivate the sales
forces to do a better job of putting the
products on the market; and finally, they
are continually endeavoring to motivate
the general public to buy the particular
product or products.
Motivation of the type which brings
about a feeling of pride in the products
and workmen of the items produced has
become an acute problem in the last quar
ter century because of the rise of labor
unions and the development of mass pro
duction methods.
Mr. O. B. Gorman, Scout Ex
ecutive, addressed the Forest
Park Rotary Club at their Feb
ruary 1 meeting at the Barbeque
Kitchen.
Mr. Gorman, an Atlanta Ro
tarian, was introduced by Wal

than anyone he knows has the
largest investment in time and
endeavor in the future genera
tion of America. Mr. Gorman,
who has been working in Scout
activities for the past 35 years,
gave a brief history of the Boy

ADDRESSES THE
JO’BORO OPTIMIST
“Bill” Reynolds, Judge-Emeri
tus of the Clayton County Su
perior Court, spoke at the regu
lar meeting of the Jonesboro
Optimist Club on Feb. 7. The
Judge was introduced by the
program chairman, Herbert
Galbraith, who pointed out that
the Judge “really needed no in
troduction.” The Judge “remi
niscenced"’ • concerning various
cases through the years, and
points of law which he thought
might be of interest to his lis
teners.
Os particular interest was the
“case” which failed because of
the “33 miles a day rule” which
set the rate at which a law be
came effective in the horse
and buggy days. In this specific
case the law was in effect across
the creek from the point where
the crime was committed.
This point was of interest to
the members of the Newnan
Optimist Club who were visiting
the Jonesboro Club through a
series of inter-Club visits. In
spite of the inclement weather,
several members of the Newnan
Club had driven to Jonesboro
for the occasion.
Comment was made by the
president, Mr. Ed Rawls, con
cerning the Intramural Foot
ball game to be played at the
Jonesboro High School on March
23. The Club is sponsoring this
game which will be between the
seniors graduating in May, and

tion will come from the Club as
further plans are developed.
