Davi: secretary of bor. in an address to the gathering, said confidence in the accuracy of the department's figures on labor and wage matters was justified, but 4 probable need of extending this type of work now exists. He cited particularly the appearance of man ual labor by the new machinery pro- cesses. Tells of Possible Results “Just how far are these technolo- gical changes responsible for present unemployment?” Secretary Davis asked, referring to displace- ment of musicians by talking mov- ing picture films, unloading of ships By conveyers, and the construction of new railroads by tracklayer de- vices as examples “Can this question be answered, and if so how are we to answer?" so continued. “This is the problem upon which wish your advice. This unemployment survey ought perhaps to be made from a labor point of view. That is to say it should be a study rather than an enumeration.” The study should show why indi- viduals were out of work and whether a machine displacement was responsible for an individual situa- tion, he said. Hoover Advised Group Formation of the statistical group was suggested by President Hoover on August 12. Besides Secretary Davis, it includes Secretary Lamont, John P. Frey, American Federation of Labor: Arthur O. Wharton, rail- road brotherhoods and allied organi- zations; Dr. Leo Wolman, national hureau of economic research; Har- old F. Browne, national industrial conference board; P. W. Litchfield, United States Chamber of Com- merce; AV. M.
