BENEFITS
OF Machinery Should Be
Decided, Says Baker

New York.-Former Secretary of
War Newton D. Baker questions the
business of machine owners taking all
benefits of automatic machines and
other new production devices,
i have notion" said Mr.. Baker,
in an address to group of vocational
educators, 'that industry has no
right, as fundamental proposition,
to take all the gains that come from
this rapid substitution of machine
processes for human labor.
1T seems to me that the most char
acteristic thing about an industrial
civilization is that we invite, rather
coerce, the individual to surrender
his independence and to become indie
pendent for our sakes. That seems to
me to entail on that society a grave
responsibility for whatever disability
that new and otherwise undesirable
status. imposes upon the Individual"
