Curtailin output would in ediately react on.the worker, for lowere production would mean lowered pay. The proper training of workers would be insisted on by both employers and employees, and the expense of this train- ing would be reckoned as part of the "overhead charges' in every produetive business. Having determined the "average cost' in productive business, the amount of payment due to non-productive in- dustry such as store keeping, transportation, the professions, ete., could be a Bpproximately determined because the buying power of the dollar would be practically fixed, and the basis of payment would be for service rendered. Profits would be measured by production and service. The chief Boon of such a plan as this would be the e incompetent or dishonest workman.
