Skilled Executives, THE EVEN OLLAR MEN SUFFER ‘IMPR[]VEII TRAFFIG | WHrTE-C AVE OF UNEMPLOYMENT Workers and Office e Employes in Worse Predicament Than Those of Unskilled Type. BY LEMUEL F. PARTON. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, March 25.—There is doubtless a larger proportion of college graduates in the bread lines than at any previous period of great unemployment. ‘The Bowery branch of the New York Y. M. C. A. reports that 5 per cent of the men to whom it issues daily 12,000 meal tickets are college men and that quite a number of them are members of Phi Beta Kappa. This writer did not find any holders of the golden key of scholarship among the unemployed in the lodging house lines in the Bowery. He did find, how- ever, several men who said they were college graduates and learned of many others. ~Estimates of the numbers of collegians so stranded were generally much higher than 5 per cent. In gen- eral the proportion of white collar work- ers now in distre:: is unquestionably larger than in 1921, White Collar Men. “Technological unemployment” is working more relentlessly against execu- tives, skilled workers and office men, than it is against the unskilled. This view is supported by various social agencies. Employment agencies through- out New York report more white-collar men out of jobs than ever before. Educators hove shown alarm about over-production in their particular field. At the recent Atlantic City convention of school superintendents, under the auspices of the National Education As- sociation, there were two formal ad- dresses seriously urging that youth be kept in school for longer periods of years, so that it would continue to con- sume, instead of getting out into the competition for jobs. Ethelbert Stewart, United States com- missioner of labor statistics, has ex- pressed alarm over what he fears will become “the moronization of industry.” He foresees a greater mechanization of labor, greater displacement of skilled workers and more employment among the lower grades of intelligence and less among the higher. At a convention of Government officlals Mr. Stewart re- ferred to the work of an association of industrial psychological experts expert- Limited Time Only GUARANTEED FACTORY REBUILT Sent To You On Free Trial Full Guarantee and Exchange Offer Every rebuilt Eureka offered in this sale crle-nfilllyn:’lmnemdnmydmewld:h 90 days after ot < g Balarce dary oy iints Punith sl Carrylad ek Hurry!

B. F. Saul Co. National 2100 925 15th St. N.W. NG - STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, from becoming & charge on the com- munity. On the basis of the Army In'el‘unnce tests, workers have been graded seven groups. On the basis of the nzo census, about 55,000,000 persons placed at or below the 14-year infg!ll- genu The three highest intelligence ymprise about 20,000,000. A consl.derlble literature has been built un around the possibility of thus util- izing lower and lower grades of intel- ligence. The “moronization” group, however, meets a serious obstacle before it even gets under way with its argument. Studies of accidents in different intelli- gence strata showed a constantly in- creasing proportion of accidents with the descent into the lower-mind levels. One hope of the skilled and intelligent is that machines are not altogether foolproof and may never be made so. Statistics as to the number of work- ers displaced by machines are elusive. Roughly, it lppelrs that about 1,000,000 have been added to the employment surplus by new technological processes since 1921. In large Eastern cities, where unemployment has been acute, the ranks of the jobless have been swelled by the steady drift from the country to the great urban labor re- serve and by the influx of Negro labor from the South. Competition in Industry. It seemed to this observer, in viewing labor conditions in this and other citles, that State and Federal Government agencies, management bodies and so- cially-minded groups studying unem- ployment were swamped. They think they know what is che mnmr, buc there isn’t much they can Certain enluhuned “industries, such as the great Cincinnati soap com) which has scientifically uolved its problems, give ground for the hope tha: industry itself will find a way. In spite of all the news of great mergers, American industry still is in a highly competitive stage. This writer registers a long-range prediction that the urgency of new integration of ma- chine problems and human problems will bring about a move for the aboli- tion of the Sherman anti-trust law, a modification of the Clayton act and a complete abandonment of the “economic Puritanism” out of which they grew.
