ALCOHOL AND EFFICIENCY.
Messrs Ames and Co., of Massachusetts, found that 375 men could turn out 8 per cent, more shovels during the months of May and June of the Prohibition year than 400 men produced in the same months of the following year, when drink was sold. The Carnegie Steel Company issued an order which declared that hereafter all promotions of whatever character will be made only from the* ranks of those not indulging in intoxicants. The Strasburg Gasworks prohibited alcohol and supplied tea and malt coffee instead, with the result that £BOO was distributed in bonuses on account of the increased output whic h resulted under these conditions.
