' Broken windows glased by ITe' bridge Oatu&el Ware That TECHNOCRACY Question BDITOB'g NOTE: This Is the fifth of a series of six articles . giving a new Insight into Tech nocracy whose prediction of pos sible economic collapse started a farflung controversy. The articles also present other statistics per taining to points raised by Tech nocracy. By J. R. BRACKET! (Copyright, 1933, by The Associated Press.) NEW TORE. VP) Man-hours Is another phrase, long a friend of the engineer, that Technocracy has placed In America's mind with new em phasis. It is the reduction of the num ber of hours per man needed to pro duce a unit of product that Technoc racy envisages much of today's trou bles, and perhaps even greater ones In the future troubles In the form of growing unemployment. At Columbia university, where the group of engineers who call their studies Technocracy are at work un der direction of Howard Scott, are several dozen charts, showing prin cipally two lines one of production, the other of man-hours. Employment Decrease Cited. In 1920, Scott says, it actually re quired 310,000 workmen to fabricate all the automobile produced. If the methods of 1904 had been used to produce the same number of automo biles, the Industry would have need ed 3,940,000 men Instead of the 210, 000. These figures are given to show the astonishing advance in mechaniz ation, and Scott eays similar statistics are true of most industries, W. W. Hay, engineer and consult ant with the Mayflower Consolidated company, says such a calculation in cludes only a small part of the men who actually were required to pro duce the whole automobile, since It omits parts and accessory makers and others who had a share in making the finished machine. Hay says the Implications of such a figure are that the automobile furnished employment to but 310,000 men, where as the total figure was In the millions when It Is considered that huge numbers were required to man the servloe stations, rubber tire factories and so on, Hay adds that a composite figure for a whole industry cannot be fairly given, due to the variation from plant to plant in efficiency. Productivity Varies. The figures ot L. P. Alford and J. ft?. Hannum, who have done much research Into man-hours, show wide divergence of productivity in four Industries. For Instance, for blast furnaces the range of rates of pro duction was found to be from 148 tons per thousand man-hours for a group of nine plants to 1,813 tons per thousand man-hours for a group of seven plant. In th petroleum industry a wide range was found, a group of nine re fineries producing 833 barrel of crude petroleum per thousand roan-hour, as oompared to HI ,829 barrels for a group of three refineries. Technocracy says 87 men could have produoed all the bricks the United States used In 1939 If the In dustry had operated with the best methods. Hay say suoh statement imply the possibility of actually at taining suoh a mark, despite the fact that this obviously would require a revolution in the brick Industry. The New Jersey Brick Manufacturers as sociation has taken exceptions to Technocracy' figures os bricks. Many observers sgree with Tech nocracy as to the Increased efficiency of labor as aided by the machine, but, Hay asy, they likewise object to the seleotlon of a few examples of technological gains as representative of all industry.

" Sssjj-I1 Machines have reduced the number of hours men must work to pro duce a unit of goods, and, according to Technocracy, have reduced them mora than production has gained. While the country was growing and before the machine reached Its present efficiency more and more hours were needed to produce enough goods, but with efftcfancy, hours went down and, seyi Technocracy, so did employment because fewer hours of work mean fewer men, , Ex Judge Thomas Says Czar Title Rediculous By Mary Qriener Kelly. BA1XM, On., Jan, 11 (8pl.) While the corrldora of the capltol building resound with legislative out doomed head of high taxation, the wide silent balls of a companion building In the same unit, effuse sympathy for the "people" along an other line Vielr case versus public utilities. It la this building that secludes one might almost say, protects O. M. Thomas, former circuit Judge of Jackson county, now sometimes re ferred to as "the oear of the utility commission." "That title la ridiculous to the point of being laughable," declared Judge Thomas during an Interview yesterday, "unless of course one pic tures a czar as a poor devil with his hands and feet tied and a sword hanging over his head." The former Judge however, ahack led as he is by official limitations, la happy. His Job intrigues him, offers him a continual challenge, and takes htm completely outside himself f In fact he looks younger and more ro bust than he has In years. Being a "one man commission." this office la said to be the only one of Its kind in the United States which permits Its head to go out and obtain first hand Information on pending cases. According to judge Thomas he la now working under the very same program advocated by President-elect Roosevelt, as out lined In the latter'a Portland talk during the campaign. Contrary to popular belief, the Or egon utility commission head acts anything but Independently in the various cases before him. Before any action la taken there Is a meeting and vote of a supervising board. When evidence Is collected and a case ready to try, the commissioner acts aa attorney for the consumer against the utility on trial. The entire proceeding la recorded by a court reporter, and the record aub Jeot to review by the courts. It !s here that the sword hangs over the "cears" head the sword of court appeala. The most Involved and colorful ease yet tried by former Judge Thom as was that uncovering the stock selling activities of the Central Pub lics Service group In Oregon, and their dissipation of over twenty-six million dollars worth of asseta in shakey outside companies. This group waa part of the Albert E. Pierce aggregate of 147 companies with a main office in Chicago. Pierce acted as president of 140 of these and dominated the other seven. A toll of over 1258,000 a year was exacted by the eastern concern from the Oregon group for service and managerial fees. As a result of the hearing, which extended over two months, according to Judge Thomas, the local companies were ordered by the commission not to pay these de mand and to expunge the record from their books.
