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.

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.
Quaintly enough, not far away
from the commissioners office the
