NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE ten
year project Of Technocracy has
been executed by a closely knit
group of scientists, operating across
the entire North American CONT
nent.
Howard Scott, director Of Tech
nocracy, heads the group.
Reporting Immediately to him is
Dial Hitchcock, supervisor of re-
search one-time autoinotive re-
search engineer, and now collating
and migrating the multiple activ-
tiles Of the continuing energy sur
Vey Of the North American CONT
nent.'
An advisory committee of fewer
than twenty scientists, each in a
specialized field, forms the next
group in Technocracy's organization
In constant communication with
Scott, whether by mail from their
homes in inland industrial cities
or at New York meetings, they adj
wise on aspects of the energy sur
Vey."
1000 Engaged in Work
Associated in the work are APP
proXimately 1000 engineers, research
and laboratory workers, scientists in
universities, private, industrial, and
government research laboratories
These men are on call to provide
data, check, correlate and evaluate
statistics in their own specialized
fields
Dues" voluntarily contributed to
defray the expenses of the Technoc-
racy laboratories where the final
work of compilation and chart draft
ing is done.
There are two such laboratories
both in New York city.
Plant No. l" is in the Columbia
university school of industrial engi-
neering. There eighteen drafting
tables are in charge of a foreman
who directs the daily research of the
Survey.
Plant No. 2" is a similar drafting
room in midtown skyscraper. its
address kept secret, so the research
workers may develop their new
charts undisturbed
Employs 1913 Experts
These two plants employ an aver
age of 1913 men a week craftsmen
Calculators, and research workers.
Their salaries, which have run as
high as $4,000 weekly, are paid by
the Gibson committee for unem-
ployment relief, which recruits the
workers from its own lists of unem-
ployed.
A majority Of the men held re-
Sponsible positions in their fields
before the depression
All other expenses of Technocracy,
(which have consisted almost entire
~ of drafting paper, office supplies,
and postage, telephone and tele-
graph tolls, have been paid out of
member contributions.
The total of such expenses from
Sept. !, 1882, to date has been only
$1,023.
Other Architects Help
In addition to plants / and 2, a
number of individual members of
the Technocracy group, them
selves successful architects or en-
gineers, have set aside a number
of drafting tables in their own Of
fees to study particular angles OF
the energy survey, maintaining
these tables at their own expense
and contributing their findings to
Ehe work.
The foregoing constitutes the en-
tire organization chart and physical
plant equipment of Technocracy
The organization in itself is solely
a fact-finding body. The uproal
which followed the announcemec2:
of its initial findings has surprised
the Technocrats as much as every
one else.

EMPLOYMENT,
PAYROLLS IN
NATION Gain
May Increase First Sub
stantial One for Any One
Month Since 1923
By RONALD G. VAN TINE

United HreSS StaTr Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June is. (UP).
An increase in employment and
payrolls in manufacturing indus
tries in May, reflecting the first
substantial gain in any one month
since January 1923, was reported
yesterday by Secretary Of Labor
Frances Perkins.
Miss Perkins described the in
creaSes as far in excess of the
normal trend at this season of
the year" but warned against
oycr-optimism, declaring the
statistics, should not be inter-
preted as meaning that the
course out of the industrial crisis
of the past year is clear"
The Secretary'S bureau OF la
Dor statistics. which canTassed SO
of the principal manufacturing
industries Of the country, report
ed an increase of 4.S per cent in
employment and lis per cent in
payrolls in May over April 1888.
A portion of this advance, Miss
Perkins explained, should "be re-
garded as a recovery from the
precipitate decline in employment

day in early March,"
purchasing power" she said,
els still considerably below that
needed to take care of cumula-
tive increase in production and
therefore points to the essence Of
the problem which has character
lied the whole course of the de-
preston.
The general increase was Shar-
ed, with few exceptions, byt the
leading groups of manufacturing
industries. Largest of the gains
were not limited to consumption
industries, such as textiles, but
extended to equipment industries
which, Miss Perkins said, for
the first time showed signs of a
decided change in trend"
She regarded as significant
the fact that increases in wages
exceeded the rise in employment.
This MEANS" she explained,
that the rise in the volume of
business experienced during the
month of May has resulted in an
increase in earnings of those
workers already on the payrolls
of manufacturing industries"
Miss Perkins also published
statistics showing a rise of about
three-tenthS of one per cent in
! the departments index number of
wholesaler rices for the week
, ended June 10 above the preced-
ing week.
/ The index, based on price quo
tations of 784 commodities. rose
from 63.S to 81, although the
farm products index dropped
from $50 to 52.5.
Increased employment was re-

LONDON, June 15.-(UP).-
A move toward Arglo-American
unity on Z, a joint economic pro:
gram 60 re offered at the World
Economic Conference was hailed
in both American and British
quarters last night after temper
airy amicable settlement Of the
debts issue.
Neville Chamberlain, chancel-
lor of the exchequer, said after a
talk with Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull, head Of the United
States delegation, that he was
much encouraged over the posi-
bilities of such a united front.
The Anglo-American economic
program, it was intimated, would
include as its major points lower
tariffs throughout the world and
stabilized curTencies.
The United States delegation
was assured last night of suffi-
cient votes for the vital chair
manship of the monetary commit
tee of the economic conference,
provided all who promised fulfill
their pledges.
Secretary Hull last evening eX-
pressed encouragement over the
speed with which the economic
conference was moving.
81 am much encouraged at the
progress thus far" Hull told the
United Press, Especially at the
speed with which we are travers-
ing the speech period of the con-
ference"
Hull proposed that the confer
ence be limited to six weeks, but
he said that if the progress be-
ing made continues, it may not be
necessary to call up his resolu-
ton.
The secretarys failure to put
forward detailed program OF
recovery in his speech to the con-
ference yesterday was dictated by
desire to await psychological.
dramatic moment later, he told
the United Press.
The secretary of state pointed
out that the United States has
concrete plans for lower tariffs
and stabilized money. But he
feels they would be lost in the
deluge of opening speeches if
given out now.
He recalled that Presidents
Roosevelt and Hoover offered dis
armament proposals at Geneva
during lulls in the arms confer
ence. and he indicated the same
psychology would be followed IN
London.
The reaction to HulPs speech
among the other delegations was
disappointment at his failure to
make a grand gesture, like the
United States made at the WASH
ington conference in 1921 when
Secretary of State Charles Evans
Hughes proposed scrapping CAPT.
tai ships.
Some had even expected that
Hull might make concession on
the war debts, despite his and
White House statements that the
secretary had no instructions on
the debt question.
The fight between France and
the United States over chairman-
ship of the monetary committee
lessened, somewhat last night,
when the French waived their
claims to the post at meeting of
the plenary's bureau, or steering
committee. .
However, the French remained
opposed to the naming of James
M. Cox. or any other American,
as chairman of the monetary
committee. They had no objec-
tions to an American being
named ON the economic commits
