(Reprinted from the Westwood Hills News-Press March 15, 1940.) — The Facts About "The Machine — . =— —Duffy, in the Baltimore Sun. Towards Job Regularity . A job in industry depends upon a number of outside factors. For instance, there are the seasons to consider; you can’t sell many sleds in July, and December is a bad month for bathing suits. Sometimes, too, the vagaries of customers play a big part in increasing or decreasing the size of weekly payrolls. For many years now, individual companies all over the country have tried to anticipate these factors in various ways in order that their employees could work more regularly and be more certain of their, jobs. Some companies have found the task more difficult than others, but throughout industry a tremendous amount of progress has been made along this line: Recently. the National Association of Manufacturers made available the most comprehensive study of employment regularization methods yet published. The report describes 35 techniques that have already been successfully used in various companies, and enumerates the benefits that result both for management and the employees when it is possible _ to make jobs more regular. The publication of this study’is particularly encouraging because it evidences the serious efforts of industry to do everything its power to solve this particular problem. The first step in solving any problem is finding out. the facts about it—its extent, the difficulties it presents, and the methods that others have successfully employed when faced with these same difficulties. r That is exatly what has been done in the present case. And by bringing the®basic facts on employment regularization to the attention of American industry as a whole, the N.A.M. report makes it easier for progress towards the stabilization of the fact that it is in the periods of greatest machine develop-. jobs to continue at a pace even more rapid than that mainment that the great increases in jobs and payrolls have been. tained in the past. built up in this country, and that when this process has been ; ; slowed down, stagnation has been the result. In other words, it is through placing greater confidence in the machine rather This Land We Survey ‘than in curtailing machine progress that prosperity is to be. }'__ . noe found. eee Some extremely relevant facts in this connection are brought out in a recent “New England Letter,” published by the First National Bank of Boston, which points to the automobile industry as an outstanding example of machine progress. “The machine,” this publication declares, ‘‘creates many more jobs than it destroys. The number of persons employed directly and indirectly in the automobile industry today is about six times as many as the peak employment in the horse and buggy business, including the related lines of activity. It is estimated that over four-fifths of the inventions do not displace labor, but are used to lower costs and by thus broadening the markets provide increased employment. _ “If the contention were true that new mechanical devices cause chronic unemployment, then in each succeeding decade a smaller percentage of the population would be gainfully employed. The facts are that during the period of greatest technological advance, from 1870 to 1930, the population of this country trebled but the number of workers nearly quadrupled and the volume of production increased about elevenfold. “At present; employment’is more nearly normal in those industries that are highly mechanized, whereas unemployment is greatest in lines where machinery plays a relatively small a The countless evidence of machine progress are apparent to anyone who looks at the record over the period of the years. ___But as long as there is misunderstanding, and as long as this misunderstanding is publicly uttered, it’ remains important .for_those-interested-inAmerica’s future welfare to emphasize the facts of the case. The evidence in the case would be thrown out of any court in the land, but an idea still persists in some quarters that machines destroy more jobs than they make. As a result, even those in a position to know better are found declaring _ that ~ something should be done to curb the machine—that perhaps a moratorium on invention should be declared. Short-sightedness is responsible for this stand. It neglects What are people thinking about these’ days? We're not interested at the moment in the movies about which they're enthusiastic, or their current opinion of the nextdoor neighbors. We have a more general and a more important question in mind: What are people—Americans, we mean—thinking about this America of. ours? To those who seek an answer, two resent magazine surveys make fascinating reading. One was concerned with the opinions of Americans in general, of all types and classes. The! i other dealt with a group whose opinion will be so important. i in the near future, the youth of the nation. : ; Here’s a brief summary of the findings in these two sur-. , The first, conducted by Fortune Magazine, shows that the depression of the “‘thirties” hasn't damaged the American spirit. It indicated that a majority of Americans of all groups “think that they are better prepared to succeed than their parents were, that their chances of success are better, and that their son’s chances will be still better.” And “‘seventy per cent felt that they have an obligation to pass on to the next genercitizenship, more education, better health.” That's encouraging news about the whole body of Amer-. 2 icans.

A new come-on for farmers and small businessmen has quietly been prepared by some of Washington’s New Deal economists. It is another plan to boost the nation into prosperity by going further into. debt. Only time can tell whether these theoreticians ‘will succeed in their efforts. The interesting fact is that after eight years of trying their ideas they still won’t be downed, despite the fact that the nation’s debt is still growing and that more than nine million people are unemployed. The new proposal is largely a modification of the spend-lend idea rejected by ‘Congress a year ago. This time, however, instead of being presented to Congress as one plan, it is to be ‘broken up into section and submitted piecemeal. It won’t look so big then. The come-on bait to farmers and small businessmen, of course, will be that the present business recession is serious and that it will get worse unless the government goes in for pump-priming. It will be contended that the farmer and the businessman will be able to sell more of their goods if the government puts money into the hands of the unemployed. But several fallacies in that angument are pointed out by other more moderate New ‘Deal economists. First, they say without hesitancy that the current recession will be over by May and that 1940 as a whole will be a better year than 1939. Thus, they say, pump priming, even if it did good, would be unnecessary. And a number of these Washington economists,point out that when money is taken by the government for pump-priming it comes, of necessity, out of the incomes of those who have it. It is a: well known fact, they say, that there aren’t enough wealthy: people to bear the burden and the load, therefore, must be put upon the financial middle class, namely farmers, small businessmen and whtie collar workers. The extremists argue, of course, that borrowing isn’t bad because it simply constitutes a mortgage on the future which will be paid off when times get better. But the others reday taxes amount to 21 cents out of each dollar of income against about 12 cents in the 20’s. And, they add, in the 20’s everybody was making money so they were in a much better position to pay the taxes. Speaking of jobs and better business, there is a case now pending in the courts which illustrates an unwholesome attitude. that exists in some Washington quarters. The case involves a lumber company which was accused by the National Labor (Relations Board of some unfair labor practices. It was $150,000 in back wages to former The company took the case into insisting that it would have The court, over the, board’s proThe Labor Board, incidentally, has ust been disclosed as-another Washngton agency which pulls with its eft hand and pushes with its right.

Additional Expense “That if the water continues to ; flow into the Pennsylvania, either {through the holes or through the country rock under pressure from the water in said drill holes, an addition. al monthly expense, dependent upon the amount of water flowing into said mine, will be caused by the necessity of pumping said water to the ‘surface where it can be disposed of.
