es of Scientific Management, in order that he can fill the position of enforcer of its laws. THE GANG BOSS.--The duties of The Gang Boss are to see that the worker has plenty of work ahead, to see that everything that he will need with which to do the work is at hand, and to see that the work is actually "set," or placed and performed correctly.
