sands, crushed by changes in consumer
demand that left whole industries
dying or dead, swept away by advanc-
ing age in men whose hands no longer
can keep up with the breathless speed
of the production lines.
Something New Required.
That is what Hopkins defines as
archaeological Unemployment" In
plain English, what he means Is that
millions, if they ever again are to be-
come self-Supporting, must find some
thing new-a new skill or q new COM
munity.
Viewed in perspective, this "disem-
ployment" is the most ominous cloud
hanging over the Nations economic
picture, and one that will grow darker
as w. P. AS money bags grow thinner.
What Hopkins is talking about never
was better illustrated than in Akron,
the rubber capital Of America" Be-
tween 1920 and 1880 there was drop
from co. 900 to 10000 in the number of
employees in the three largest rubber
companies alone, according to Ralph
H. Miner, an official of one and chair
man of the county relief commission.
What factory executives call labor
efficiency" doubled. Where it took 80
men to do a job In one rubber pit
a few years ago. it now takes mot
quite a typical Illustration, but q
graphic one. Tires not only are turned
out faster with less man power, but
they are better. They don't wear out
SO quickly. You buy fewer tires per
automobile today than you did five
years ago and still fewer than ten
years ago.
Work Is Shared.
Akron's relief rolls are not loaded
with rubber workers today, but it is
only because of a split-shift system
by which the rubber plants divide the
work to give a greater number Of men
employ ent. The average Akron
wage, 95 cents an hour, Is the highest
in the country, but many workers get
so few hours that their monthly wage
Is inadequate.

Akron, who swept his "employable"
quota from relief to high-grade prof.

ects without much difficulty. points
out another alarming fact.
"In an Akron rubber plant" says
Paul, q man is usually through at
40. In steel the average practical
age limit Is Is. You know the speed
of automobile production lines. There
is no definite retirement age, but
high tension that can be withstood
only by physically well-equipped
man runs through all industry.
what will the steel worker do
when he gets through at IS? Under
the new Federal security system. which
far outstrips in liberality anything
previously proposed In this country,
he is not eligible for q pension until
he's 65. In States which do not
match Federal funds he gets nothing
at any age. He has spent his pro-
ductive' years in steel and knows moth
ing else. What about the intervening
20 years-from IS to 65?"
"Well. what about them?" Paul was
asked.
MY guess" he replied, "is a perma-
nent Government public works pro-
gram. I see no other way out Of 1t.

moved out-a big help to East Liver
pool. Examples could be cited no
end affecting the lives Of working
America in all areas-rural, town and
city.
Another angle Of the same prob
lem Is reflected In the aftermath Of
Akron's building boom, which took
place In the recent "screwbail era"
Rubber plants all expanded. Two
large and handsome department
stores, hotel that would honor New
York, telephone building, big Y.
M. G. A. and half a dozen other struc-
lures grew like mushrooms. Skilled
construction workers flooded Akron.
But now, when w. p. A. directors at
Detroit and other cities are desper-
ately searching for enough bricklayers
to carry" projects that provide much
unskilled work, 20 per cent Of Paups
employable relief load consists Of
stranded" skilled building workers
and foremen, another 10 per cent
semi-skilled building workers, and an
other 10 skilled factory workers and
foremen. It made Paul's project
planning comparatively easy.

lumbus shoe factory, "heel ma
chine" operated by two men, now
turns out the work Of 20. In Mem
phis, this reporter talked to former
employe Of q battery shop, now a
w. p. A. truck driver. He said that
some one had the bright idea of
mounting the production line OF
batteries on q turntable and REAR
ranging the task of each man, with
the result that two men now do the
work Of IL, and 80 out of the 40 en-
ployes Of the little company were
fired.
Thousands Of textile workers in
New England, stranded by closing
mills that cannot compete with
Southern labor and freight rates, are

Detroit from the deep South in the
'20s is likewise stranded.

EXPLAINS
CRIME WAVE

ROCKVILLE. Md, March 26
Montgomery county's increasing
crime wave of the last few months
was due largely to an influx of
gamblers and racketeers driven to
refuge in nearby Washington
suburban areas during the recent
campaign against the lawless ele-
ment in Washington.
This is the opinion of the Mont
gomery county grand jury eX-
pressed in it's report to Chief JUS
tice Hammond Urner and Asso-
ciate Justice Arthur D. Willard.
Although the jury failed to re-
turn indictment in two of the
county's unSolved murder cases,
the double Staying at the Chevy
Chase car barn and the Allen B.
Wilson Staying at Takoma Park,
they commended the officers in
charge Of the investigations in
both cases. and said:
"We believe everything is be.
ing done that seems sound,
sensible and right in the interest
of solving these problems"
The jury urged a closer watch
on beer parlors and dance halls
and charged the police depart
ment to do everything in its
power to halt any attempt of
gamblers to operate in the county.

William A. Van Duzer, Director
of Traffic, told the association he
is confident many persons with
effected vision are driving auto
mobiles, and are, therefore, a traf-
fic menace. For that reason he
favored an examination Of all
drivers as means of elimination
accidents.
He urged the operation of mum.
cipal garages throughout the city
where regular compulsory inspec-
ton of automobiles should be
made.
Staggering hours of Federal en-
ployes, he asserted, was the only
way traffic can be handled to ac-
commodate the great numbers en-
ployed in the new Federal build
ings along Pennsylvania Avenue.
Under the Stagger plan there are
5000 reporting for duty at $50;
10000 at 8:45; $4,000 to 9, and
5000 at 9:15 a. m.
