The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-09-10
By RODNEY BUTCHER
 Democrat Washington COrresDOndenf.

Washington.-Some day, per- haps before election, President Roosevelt will have to admit to the country that business activity has returned to normal, but that there are still six to eight million un- employed.
 He will have to explain that the efficiency of private industry, ex- pressing itself in saving of labor costs, has largely brought about that condition. And doubtless add that until industry can think up tome way of absorbing those mill lions, 1t will have to pay for their subsistence through taxes.
 This problem-call it .technol- pgical unemployment or the in- creased productivity per man per hour, which gained enormously during the depression-is one of the biggest stories in the country. The highest officials often discuss 1t privately, though only an occa- yional labor leader talks of 1t pub icly.
 Everybody knows that Roosevelt must eventually meet the issue with something more than an op- timistic assumption that improving business conditions will absorb the surplus of labor.
 The most scientific chart of unemployment yet devised by the government (it's kept secret for the time being) indicates that 8OO,0OO more persons were unemployed in June, 1888, than in June, 1884. True, this counts in some 3OO,OOO of thew popula- tion available for employment" and about as many more dis- placed from road building and other public works, but
 In that same period, the Federal Reserve index of manufacturing production rose from 83 to 86, which you might well suppose would have meant unemployment of several hundred thousand men. Remember that this was in the MIRA period, before codes were cancelled and employers began to increase hours.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-09-10
Thousands Being Displaced

an eVer-accelerat1ng rate, are De- ing displaced by better manage mant, elimination of the least effi- cient plants and equipment-and the least efficient labor-pressure through sweatshop, stretchout and speedup methods, new machinery and new inventions.
 This goes on in agriculture, min- inG, transportation, and other fields, as well as in the factories.
 No one knows the relative importance of those causative factors. But the best available studies show that in the 10 years ended in 1929, the average j workers production increased 4H per cent.
 Subsequent studies indicate the output per man hour rose "A to 28 per cent in 1020-32 and about IF per cent for 1932-34, meaning at least B per cent gain in the depression period.
 Dr. Isador Lubfn is now in an official position as commissioner of labor statistics and isn't talking publicly about the matter any more. But in 1892 he told a Sem ate committee that even If busi- ness reached it's 1929 level, there would still be at least 5,000,000 un- employed.
 Inventions Kill Jobs
 Productivity has since increased and nobody is anticipating any early arrival at the 1929 industrial production index figure, which was 119 as against the recent 86.
 From every front come reports of new inventions certain to dis. place human labor. Washington this fall will watch closely the per. formance of the mechanical cottor picker, ballyhooed as able to pick 1000 pounds an hour as against 2 mans 10 pounds, a potential in strument of unemployment fol hundreds of thousands.
 Everyone Is talking of pre-fab ricated houses-and some warn o what it will do to building trades workers. New single-unit traini threaten the jobs of shopmen switchmen, brakemen, and fire men. High-line logging operations threaten the jobs of thousands O northwest lumbermen.

Of late.
Henkel played great tennis
throughout. Bulge, imperturable
as always, passed the German
down the lines at critical mo-
ments in the first two sets and
practically assured himself Of
victory by winning both.
The critical second set finally
saw him come through in the
twentieth game where he inter-
cepted two brilliant smashes by
the German and drove the ball
back out Of reach.
Bulge seemed to let down enter

first three games on needless
errors. Then he pulled up to g.

with drives out of court, Henkel
finally winning the set in the
fourteenth game.
= Bulge reeled off the first three
games of the fourth set and
practically closed out the match
by taking the fourth game at love.
He then followed with another
love victory in the fifth.
Henkel managed to win the
sixth game, but the American
service closed out the issue quickly
and painless in the seventh, which
he won at Al.

lacking in artistry, but 1t seems
that I just don't understand.
Artistry is something with which
the performer can play with or not
as he wishes. The reward is strictly
for the performers personal re-
pute; in other words, the bigger
the reputation, the wetter the
splash. Therefore, technique is
without comparative Importance.
One can accept a severe push
upon the bosom and Swoon. One
can also ride the punch out, thus
taking up the shock to such pur-
pose that one is able to retain all
self-possession and continue the
entertainment on the floor, max
ing certain that the customer is
in nowise defrauded. This is
known as the aqua-plane or half
wet system.
There is, finally, the performer
who unexpectedly" collides with
a punch somewhat after the man
ner of a man who encounters a
corner of the bookcase in a dark
ened room. He offers the chin
and invites oblivion and, while the
treatment is a trifle heroic, the
artist unfortunately is often paid
no more than the rest and often
a little less.
For, as any reputable agent will
tell you, this is low grade behavior.
It isn't technique, it seems. It's
a mild form of paranoia.

NEW YORK, July 20.-The
major league pennant races are
growing hotter than the weather.
Today the Tigers are but half

games all year, stunned the ma

home guard down with five scat

back to the grand old game at
pretty much the same old prices,
depending upon the degree Of pro.
ficiency demanded.
There is a rate, for instance, of
500 a performance, but that's for
a straight take-off into the shallow
end. Anything off the upper rungs
will cost between $3.50 and $1,000,
the price being determined by a
somewhat loose application OF
A. A. U. regulations having to do
with height, form and repertoire.
It has all been legitimatized to
a point where the performers have
an agent, who sits in a downtown
office here and books them into
the moisture for anybody who
wishes to enrich his personal pres
tige at a minimum Of annoyance.
The agent, even as I approached
him today, was in the process #
arranging for some reliable natator
or bum to go off the platform for
young heavyweight who is fast
claiming national attention.
Speaks Frankly
The agent spoke frankly and
with the air of one who Is con-
fiding nothing of q particularly
arresting nature when he declared
that the young heavyweight in
question had engaged in one
strictly "dry" performance so far
and had lost that.
He added that there was a GER
tain heavyweight in the Middle
West who had been invited to go
for a swim scores Of times, but
had steadfastly refused, although,
as the agent Indignantly points
out, the reward is greater and the
strain on the features less. I gath
cred that the agent greatly fears
for this mans reason.
He cannot, as the agent so
truthfully points out, hope to pick
up fee of $4,000 by struggling
to win against one and all, owing
to the fact that there is practi-
cally no demand for winners on
the part of those who desire to
better themselves in this sterling
endeavor. They want reliable
losers and sometimes, as said, re.
liability comes as high as $4,000.
I happened to witness this par
ticular bit of harmless horseplay
and thought at the time that the
participant was considerably over
paid. The man was so patiently
