THEORY UPSET THAT MACHINES QOSTWORKERS Skilled Men Adapt Selves, Get Other Jobs, Survey Indicates. BY DEXTER M. KEEZER WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—Machines may be held not guilty on the widely heralded charge of stealing the jobs of skilled industrial workers, as the result of scientific studies of unemployment in the United States in progress here. Tentative conclusions drawn from these unemployment surveys show people with industrial skill are finding it possible to adapt themselves to the rapid changes being made in machine methods without a great deal of loss of employient, and the unemployed army is recruited largely from unskilled workers. This conclusion, if validated by further studies, will upset the view extensively expounded in Congress that rapid machine changes are depriving large numbers of highly trained industrial workers of employment. It will indicate that brawn rather than brain labor is being squeezed out of industry and, accordingly, those working on the unemployment studies here will give a much more hopeful aspect to the problem of absorbing the present excess labor supply.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SCHOOL BOARD OPPOSES SALE OF OFFICE SITE Vonngeut Thinks LongTime Lease Should Be Let Property. Site of the old library building, now school administrative offices, Meridian and Ohio Sts., sale of which has been proposed by local real estate dealers, has Increased in value from twelve to twenty times what the city paid for it thirtyseven ago. Suggestion that the building be sold by the school city to permit expansion of that vicinity was not received favorably by the school board. About 1891 the site was purchased for $40,000 for construction of the library building. The building, completed in the winter of 1893, cost approximately $150,000. The property was appraised by the Indianapolis Real Estate Board in 1920 at $75,000 for the building and $300,000 for the real estate, t Appraisals since then have placed the property’s value from $500,000 to SBOO,OOO. Theodore F. Vonnegut, board president, who Is strenuously opposed to sale of the property “to permit real estate men to profit from the valuue increase instead of the people,” has suggested the site be leased for construction of a busi-

ness building, thus retaining the property until it has reached a much higher value, and at the same time obtaining high rental. Suggestion has been made the schol city lease or sell the property for $500,000 or more, use about $150,000 to build a suitable school administration building on less expensive land near by, and use the
