MAJ. HARVEY HUMPHREY PRESENTING E FLAG TO SIDNEY
J. ALLEN, PRESIDENT OF ALLEN INDUSTRIES, INC.

Sidney J. Allen and the Allen '
Industries, Inc., which he heads
as president, were recipients of
high honors on Oct. 18 when the
Army-Navy Production Award
eras presented in recognition of
the firm's outstandingly high
production of war material.
T h e presentation ceremony
took place at the plant of the
Allen Industries, Inc., 1935 Le-
land Ave., in what is known
as "Allen Alley"—a dead-end
street that separates one wing
of the plant from the other.
The E Flag was presented to
Mr. Allen by Maj. Harvey Hum-
phrey of the Army Air Forces.
Judge Frank A. Picard of the
U. S. District Court presided at
the ceremony which was attend-
ed by the 500 Allen Industries
employes who cheered the an-
nouncement of the high recogni-
tion given the work of their
plant.

Allen Industries, Inc., manu-
factures inside trim for B-29
Superfortresses and B-24 Libera-
tor bombers,
It was indicated that 75 per
cent of the employes are women
and 85 per cent Negroes;
Production has flowed unceas-
ingly in this plant since the
plant took on war contracts, and
there has been a marked absence
of absenteeism or labor disputes,
company officials stated.
• Jerry Tobias, vice-president in
charge of personnel of Allen In-
dustries, explained the unusual
harmony in the plant by de-
claring:
• "It's chiefly because we settle
our disputes ourselves. We are
able to do that because our labor-
management relations are in the
hands of men on both sides who
make a real effort to understand
the problems of the man on the
other side of the table.
Many Are Housewives
"The great majority of t h e
employes at this plant are house-
wives. To begin with, manage-
ment realizes the fact that many
of them, in leaving their homes
for the workbench, make a real
sacrifice.
"Then, it's the policy of man-
agement here to make its work-
ers welcome. Winning this war
is not management's problem
alone, nor labor's problem alone
—it's the problem pf all of us;
and with a common load to carry
and a common responsibility to
meet, management and 1 a b o
here speak a common language
which both can understand and
think of each other as members
of a team, all striving to win a
common goal.

about the work, We realize that
much of it is monotonous; so, in
those departments where t h e
operators do one simple opera-
tion, over and over again, all
day long, we supply music
through loudspeakers — and the
workers themselves choose the
records that are played.
"Sometimes at lunch hour they
put on some lively tune and
dance a bit. It helps amazingly
to offset monotony and keep in-
terest in their work alive."
