BALDWIN Acting Commi Labor Statistics, Department of Agriculture In the December, 1931, issue of the Monthly Labor Review, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, pub- lished an article relating to tech- nological changes in the cigar in- dustry and their effects on cigar factory labor. Special reference was made to a machine that is now being used in joner, Bureau of | { continued through the remaining months of 1931 and through Janu- ary and February, 1932. The|y February, 1932, index of employ- ment was 92.4. There was a de- crease of 5.7 percent in employ- jment from February, 1932, to May, 1932, the May index being 87.1, as compared with the index of 100 for the base year 1926+ eee Employment in . this _industry| {has not shown the marked decrease which has occurred in practically {all other manufacturing industries since the Fall of 1929. Employ- ment in May, 1929, in this indus- try was 1.4 percent above the level} of October, 1929. The months in which peak earn- ings were reported in this industry | the manufacture of a completely- headed, long filler cigar. Four op- erators, usually girls, are required for the operation of each of these! machines. They replace hand method. see These machines are adjusted for the making of only one size or shape of cigar. With any change in the size or shape of the cigar to be manufactured, it is necessary to change the dies. It is also neces- sary to have at least two of these’ | machines, one right-hand and one left-hand, to apply the right or left-hand portion of the wrapper. With four experienced operators working an average full-time week of 48 hours, one maghine will pro- duce approximately 20,000 cigars per week, and, with an average of the 50 full weeks per year, ap- proximately 1,000,000 cigars per year. There has been an enormous increase in cigars by this process. In 1931, when nearly 3,000,- 000,000 cigars were manufactured on the machine, it is estimated that the services of 17,474 employes were required, This, however, was less than half the number that would have been neeessary had the same number of cigars been made by hand. The cigar-banding, and cello- phane-wrappmg machines have al- so been greatly improved and have had an effect on labor by reason of the increased output per em- ploye. The introduction of ma- chinery in the cigar industry has in general resulted in the elimina- tion of many small plants and has concentrated more production in large plants using machinery. It is claimed that the mass pro- duction under the machine method has made possible the produc of more and better cigars retail- ing at not over 5 cents. Because | ~~ of the space required for the ma- chines, it has resulted in change of» factory locations from the er cities to smaller com- munities. eer The average index of employ- ment in the chewing and smoking tobacco and snuff industry for the year 1927 was 97.7, or 2.3 percent below the level of the index 100 for the year 1926. Employment continued to decline during 1928 and 1929, the index dropping to {95.2 in 1928, and to 89.3 in | 1929, The trend in earings in this in- |dustry from 1926 to 1929 was very similar to the changes shown The 1930 pay- roll index, however, failed to re- flect the slight gain shown in em- ployment from 1929 to 1930, but instead showed a decline of 2.1 percent in this interval. The decrease in earnings from | 1930 to 1931 was much more pro- }nounced than the decline in em- {ployment. The average yearly | index dropped from 87.7 in 1930 Be 79.3 in 1931, or 9.6 percent, ees { A comparison of the monthly indexes of employment beginning with October, 1929, shows that employment in this industry in- creased from October to Decem- lber, 1929.
