The growing use OF machinery IN the mOoefn
world has drawn a good many protests from men who
fear that We shall get mechanicized out Of all likeness
to normal humanity; yet it is worth noticing, perhaps,
that none Of these protests come from the men whose
lives are actually made over by the machine.
Very likely It is true that the machine has many
sins to answer for; but the critics ought never to lose
sigh Of The one great fact In its favor-the way in
which it has taken plain, age-old drudgery. OF the
sort that turned men into beasts Of burden and made
them old at forty, and pitched 1t forever into the
discard.
That. OF course. is not to say that nobody works
harder than is good for him any more. But there has
been a tremendous change; and perhaps the best way
to understand it is to take a good look at an indus
trial undertaking Of the old type, as 1t existed before
this much-hated machine had come on the scene.
In the province Of Szechuan. in China, there Is the
worlds Oldest oil field-a field that mas peen 10 opera
ton for more than 2000 years
This oil field, as described in the Industrial Bulletin
published by Arthur Z. Little. Inc, is operated today
precisely as it was 20 centuries ago.
Its most important product is not oil but brine. from
which salt is made. Fully a million men are employ
ed in this vast field, at wages ranging from Is to %
cents a day. All Of the work Is done by hand. All o.
the machinery Is made Of bamboo from pipe lines
casings and bits to the drilling cable. A big bamboo
plantation is maintained TO supply the material.
The wells vary in depth from a few feet to more
than half a mile. All Of them are drilled by hand, ana
1t takes decades to complete the drilling Of the deep
est ones.
Think all Of that over and you get a rather IN
pleasant picture-a picture Of thousands upon thou
sands OF men Shaving away at baek-breaking toll for
a hopelessly inadequate p~ittance-slaving today pre-
cisely as their remote ancestors shaved 1000 years ago.
What chance has q laborer for a decent life under
conditions ike those? How can he ever be any
thing but q drudge?
Then picture the change that would come if mod
ern machinery were installed. Steel drills. gasoline
and steam engines, modern pumps-the drudgery
would vanish. a Chinese coolie from this oil field
woC-- think that the lowliest worker in an Oklahoma
oil field was on a perpetual vacation.

Other reasons equally pathetic, ana

Among thousands OF letters re-

The Senate acted wisely IN passing Senator wag-

fees. Very often it happens that jobs will be scarce
in one part Of the country and fairly plentiful in an
