Rock Hill, Wanaque, NJ 745pm. Sunday Apr 6, 1952 cold cloudy. Helen reading Life on new actress, Julie Harris. The Editors, The United uto Worker, 8000 E Jefferson Detroit, Mich: Ref: March Auto Worker p4. "no method yet devised for protecting workers savings against inflation. p8. "Atomic one gy, economic controls, guaranteed annual wage, and education, will in the end decide what kind of union contract, we ain in the future. Greetings: Time study is essentially a method of putting of economic controls on human energy, so that a guaranteed annual and/or operation unit cost is given a definite statistical form. Atomic energy simply means application of time study to whole areas, to evolve the same kind of standards, economic controls, with guarantees to be in, as they now are in present union contr acts, but on a nation wide and worldwide scale, instead of merely local and/or industry wide. You write "Noone has yet devised a method for protecting workers savings and security against the undermining effects of rising prices, the inroads of inflation. I merely note that inflation is a total area flow of energy, subject to scale measurement, using time study and standards, for the giving of definite statistical forms exactly like the various instruments I work on daily in Wright Xeronautical. Your "4 millions priced out of the market," is simply a process scanned, mapped or picksheeted, without any general time scale unit, inclusive of both humen and/or other energy, working together. When you are using money or pecuniary units,, wages, cost of living escal ators or what, Remember Mounton's "The pocuniary unit is a sort of language device. The reason time study is so useful, is that it makes a language device out of human energy. by production of "definite statistical forms." which translate that energy into economic controls, the money or pecuniary cost unit, which which controls are scaled in what is called economics. Economics is one branch of sociology, or the general science of human and social relations as a multiplex energy flow process. Atomic energy is also based on a precisely identical language device, the idea of a quantum or complete burst of energy, a definite statistical form used as a counting unit. Therein, it is exactly like the get, push in place roll up the milling machine table, process, unroll, take out, place final, and set 'em up in the same alley, and do the next piece, which is what the time study man translates into a definite language of statistical forms, so, if you want cost of living escalators moving downward, so workers can make real gains, and you want a method of protecting workers savings and securities against the undermining effects of inflation, JUST Take a good, long look, at time study of METHODS ENGG. It is the business of time study to DEVISE METHODS. I am indicating that one of the next devising of methods will be a "method for protecting workers savings and security, by subjecting inflation, to instrumentation, thru extension of time study.
