'TOBACCO JOBS I HARO HIT BY j MACHINE AGE Workers Were Losing in Race Long Before Start of Depression. Ry tirrippa-fltiirnrit \rtrapaprr AlUnncf. WASHINGTON, Feb. I.—Men and women were losing in the race with machines long before the depressibn began. The women’s bureau, in a study of the cigar and cigaret, industries just completed, finds that while these industries were forging ahead between 191!) and 1929, with an increaty of 70 per cent in output, wages paid decreased by 23 per cent. The number of women employed declined by 24 per cent during those years, and the number of men declined by 40 per cent. Nor did the women who lost their jobs find other work during the era of expansion. Can’t Find Other Jobs The women’s bureau interviewed 1,400 women dismissed because of increased use of machinery, and found that one-cighth of them never had been able to find now jobs, while nine-tenths of them had • worked only part of the time. The women who did find jobs reported reduced earnings. Those who went to work in other cigar and cigaret factories were forced to work for 20 per cent less than they had been earning while those who found a place in other industries did so at 30 per cent less wages. Highly skilled and experienced workers suffered most from the introduction of machinery, the study disclosed. Women in this category proved more willing to keep on at less skilled and lower paid jobs than men, and, for that reason fewer of them were displaced entirely. Labor Costs Cut Cigars were made by hand almost entirely twenty years ago, the bu- j reau reports. Cigarets were made by machinery i from the beginning and offered such ' severe competition for cigars that a : machine able to complete the whole ! cigar-making process was perfected i in 1918. By 1929, 3,000 of these were in operation. Employers told the women's bureau that under average conditions the machine cuts labor costs about one-half, and doubles production with the same space and number of J ■ employes.

Devine recalls that Bernie Cummins and his New Yorkers first gained notable comment -because of their broadcasts from the New Yorker and

Biltmore hotels, New York City, over the Columbia Broadcast System. He says that at the present time they are beityj featured in the Trianon ballroom, Chicago, where they are co-featured nightly and on Sunday afternoons with Wayne King and his orchestra during a broadcast from radio station WGN of that city. The New Yorkers use the melody "Dark Eyes” as the theme for each of their broadcasts. Dick Snyder and his Detroiters are the Roof's current musical attraction.

dence that there are any “thought waves,” and in the second place where it has been tried with all serts of people—both with sc-called "psychics” —and people of the common garden variety, it has proved a grand fizzle. 3. Yes. The less intelligent half of the population is producing mere than half the children. Dr. Davenport, biologist, has shown that 1,000 Harvard or Yale graduates, in six generations, at their present birthrate, will have only fifty descendants left—hardly enough to make a college glee club—while 1,000 unskilled laborers will have 100,000 living descendants. Raymond Pearl, Jones Hopkins biologist, has shown that all classes arc dying out except miners, factory workers and farmers. These produce a good many leaders, but far from enought. There are some counter currents, but on the whole, we are losing our brains and becoming progressively more stupid.
