A New Order In Economics

The American Federation of Labor monthly
survey of business was introduced with the
following statement, an excellent summation
of one of the greatest reasons for the present
economic strife in the nation:
american industry is today coming to
grips with problem which has never been
squarely faced. The new industrial revolu-
ton which took place with the coming of
electric power and highly productive ma
chimes has, without our realizing it, shaken
the very foundations of our economic order.
Industry has never adjusted fundamental
work relationships to the power age.
Our present ways of doing business are
the heritage of the last century, when Ameri-
can business men were making their incomes
often large fortunes-by taking over the
vast natural resources of new continent.
Farms mines, oil wells, tinberlands, acquired
at low cost or no cost, produced richly, Newly
built railroads and industrial plants found
a ready market, for they sold, not to wage
earners, but to those who had made wealth
from the abundance Of free resources Busi-
ness men received, and grew to expect, high
rewards for their activity. Wages were paid
on the basis of what one man could produce
with his physical energy and Skills. High
powered machinery played little part in the
economic picture until the end of the century,
and mass production industries were virtually
unknown.
with the new century has come a new
era. Free land is gone; fortunes can no long
er be made by taking over natural resources,
Nor can industries find market among the
wealthy alone. For the power age has trans
formed American industry, and mass produc-
ton dominates our markets Mass production
can live only by mass markets. Yesterdays
order is gone forever. Tomorrow's growth
must come from mass consuming power.
"The captains of industry created mass
production, but they could not build up
mass market able to absorb the production
Of high powered industry plants. Therefore
our plant has never been used to capacity,
and we have the spectacle of millions on
starvation incomes in the midst of possible
plenty

CAUSED BY WOMEN
Miss Earlene White Contends
Feminine Workers Forced
Into Jobs by Necessity.

Miss Earlene White, president Of the
National Federation Of Business and

today denied that women were to
blame for unemployment among men,
In . letter to John D. Biggers, re-
Gently resigned as unemployment
CENSUS chief, Miss White took excep-
ton TO the Interpretation placed BY
some newspapers-not The Star-on
the recent unemployment report.
Headlines which indicate that you
ind women cause glut in labor give
IN emphasis to your findings" she
writes. which will undoubtedly cause
hArdships on the millions OF women
who work to support themselves and
those dependent upon them.
1.-THE implication placed upon your
report Is that women are to blame
for the unemployment which exists
among men by competing with them
IN labor, rather than the opposite and
true picture, which Is that the de-
preston has forced millions of women
to work because men were no longer
able to be the breadwinners."
A survey made by her organization,
Miss White said, gives "a true picture
Of why business and professional
women work; namely, to support
themselves and those dependent upon
them"

CITIZENS u R C E
ACTION ON D. C.
ASSEMBLY PLAN
Fear Early Adjournment
Will ImperiI Move
BY A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens Association Editor

With Congress threatening to
adjourn about June II, organized
citizenry, while greatly appreciac-
ing enactment of important and
far-reaching District legislation
during the present term, are hope
full the session will continue be-
yond that date so that action
may be taken on tentative draft
of an act to create 2 municipal
assembly for the District of Colum-
bia, with advisory powers only.
PURPOSE TOLD
William H. Mondell, fourth vice
president of the District of Co.
lumbia Suffrage Committee, and
chairman of the Citizens Commit
tee on District Suffrage, in charge
of the bill. pointed out last night
the act would have no bearing on
the independent resolutions call
ing for constitutional amend
mentS to grant suffrage to the
District.
Instead, it Is intended to give
w OIL AAAA4AAOOAnOC
voice in advising Congress as TO
the will of the people, especially
of those who supply the taxes, but
have no say as to how they may
be expended,
Mr.. Mondell also declared
the assembly would afford resi-
dents of the District an opportu-
nifty TO express themselves on
naming a Commissioner to Sue
ceed George E. Allen, retiring Sep
temper l. and also on the proposed
reorganization of the District gov
ernment, for which an appropria-
ton already has been made by
Congress.
The act creating the assembly
provides for election of IS assem-
blymen, 10 from assembly dis
trictS and five at large.
Proponents of District suffrage
are anXiously awaiting a report
from the House Judiciary Com.
mittee on the results of the widely
attended suffrage hearings May
1919, following the plebiscite of
April 30, in which $4,000 District
residents registered a tremendous
vote for suffrage.

STUDY REVEALS
CARE OF BLIND

The District today has for the
first time a complete history of its
blind residents and their special
problems as the result of study
just completed by Miss Stella
Plant, blind director of the COM
mittee on service to the blind OF
the Council of Social Agencies,
1101 M st. N. w.
At the beginning of the study
there we're 1913 blind persons liv-
ing in the District. Because they
lived in institutions, or were sat
isfactorily adjusted, 249 persons
were eliminated from the study,
and 88 died or moved away.
Among the remaining 486, it was
found that only IL were earning
their living by soliciting, prefer
ring that to pensions for which
they were eligible.
Only 35 were found employed
full time on regular jobs, although
80 were trained for work if it could
be found. Thirty-three others
would be employable if trained.
Pensions or some form of relief
was being given to 234 blind per-
sons. The remainder have indie
pendent incomes or are being sup
ported by relatives.
Job opportunities are scarce
here, it was found, because there
are no large industries and per,
sons with physical handicaps are
excluded from Government en-
ployment. Private employers are
heSitant to hire blind persons be-
cause of compensation liability,
but Miss Plant says this danger
is more imaginary than real, and
suggests that methods for enlist
ing employers be worked out.
Blind persons here are working
as insurance agents, statesmen,
rooming house managers, helpers
in filling stations. office clerks
lawyers, teachers and stand op-
orators.
Special needs of individuals, as
discovered by the survey, were
met by the Lions Club and other
groups interested in the blind.
