But Long Words Don't HelpWorkless Men There is a "nice new word the professors in economics are using: Technological unemployment. This refers to unemployment' caused by the introduction introduc-tion of machines to do what human hands did. 'Tis a passing pass-ing pretty phrase, but to the fellow broke and jobless these soft words butter no parsnips. ; - . t Technological unemployment introduces a? new era in the world, and more particularly, in this' country. To this time it has been considered, even by the workers, that the fellow who never could get or hold a job was somehow to blame. Much economic injustice has been alibied thereby. But when the most skilled prof essionsor crafts are likely to lose their Jobs en masse, the old excuse is not so hot. This new phrase brings" a number of complicated situations situ-ations ; none of them to be met by mere economic oratory. One oi the most disturbing is the onslaught on the imported Filipino workers in J:he west. Machines on farms, or road work, in ditch-digging, in every branch of common labor, displace tens of thousands of men. . . Fewer jobs, more competition. Little brown brothers work for less and work harder. Big white brothers start in bombing, and in an afternoon the entire colonial policy of this country, as well as considerable foreign trade and a few billions of invested capital get tangled in a mess. V . Another interesting phase is that machines do not use what they-produce. One machine does the work of ten men and uses the labor of a tenth man. Your output is multiplied multi-plied and ;your Riarket Is cut 95 per cent ; and maybe that also helps business," maybe also not. You will hear more about technological unemployment before you hear less. Here s paycheck. SCIENCE I : At Otlsvllle, N. Y., there . is a band of 100 horses. Each one of them has saved the lives of thousands of children. The public health service every week draws enough serum from the horses to make 500 children immune im-mune to diphtheria for the rest of their natural lives. At first the horses were inoculated, inocu-lated, with small doses of diphtheria germs. The horses produced a powerful neutralizing substance to counteract the disease. Now, the animals .are given doses of diphtheria diph-theria large enough to lay low a regiment of ordinary horses. The serum taken from the horses neutralizes - diphtheria in humans and prevents the disease from getting get-ting a foothold in the system. Japanese lumber trade with" the Pacific "coast dropped $44,000,000 in 1929; reprisal for. anti-orlentaJ immigration Jaws was the cause.
