Quote: deal each workman as a individual; the labor office plans every laborer's work well in advanced; laborers moved around the yard on maps like a chess-board

Quotation

Dealing with every workman as a separate individual ... involved the building of a labor office for the superintendent and clerks ... In this office every laborer's work was planned out well in advance, and the workmen were all moved from place to place by the clerks with elaborate diagrams or maps of the yard before them, very much as chessman are moved on a chess-board, a telephone and messenger system having been installed from this purpose.   Google-1   Google-2
