MECHANICAL MAN
TO TALK ON EXHIBITS 'WASHINGTON. May 13. The Labor Department has ordered a seven-foot mechanical man to make a four-minute speech. Thought up by Miss M. A. Klein, in charge of the department’s exhibits, the cog-toed mechanical man is nearing completion in a Pittsburgh factory. .
His ghost-writer, Verne A. Zimmer, Division of Labor Standards, is going up there Friday to hear him speak his piece before being shipped to the Texas Centennial as part of the Department’s exhibit. .
The man’s eyes light up as he starts to speak. His lips move. He points out the advantages and disadvantages of machines in industry insofar as the effect on labor is concerned.
After a gesture of greeting to his audience. he turns his head, points to the exhibit on his right and explains that revolving device which shows machines of great capacity.
To his left, he explains, with another oratorical gesture, is a second revolving device—showing what the machine has done to take drudgery out of office, factory, and home.
