Diebold, “A Condensation of the Book Automation, in Automation and Technological Change: Hearings” (1955-10-14) articulates M06b. The condensation says that responsibility for retraining and restoring the earning power of displaced workers lies with management as well as with the worker, and that accepting a fair share of it will ease the labour problem that automation brings.

Date 1955-10-14 · event Role Earliest located in tier 2 Register (kind of text) Nonfiction Tier Tier 2. Witness who is not an economist: John Diebold, management consultant (president, John Diebold & Associates), author of the condensed book. Conditions Presented as a growing realization among businessmen; the next sentence says that accepting a fair share of responsibility for a cooperative solution will ease the labour problem. Scope and limits Added on 2026-10-25 after the same-family and cross-family re-checks of the economics admission (maintainer decision of 2026-10-25). An employer adjustment policy, not public redistribution; it counts under M06b’s "another compensating policy" as written (maintainer decision of 2026-10-25). A condensation by the Controllership Foundation, which Diebold inserted into the record; it is not verbatim oral testimony. In his oral statement (p. 28) he also urges coordinating firms’ hiring policies so that individuals do not bear the brunt of these changes.

This status does not say whether a person has read any linked passage. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.
Relation. A passage of the document meets the proposition’s criterion. The record documents what the text states, in its register (fiction and satire are labelled); it is not evidence that the proposition is true and implies no influence on or from another text.
Date. Printed with Diebold’s statement on the hearing day of 14 October 1955. A condensation of his book Automation (copyright 1952) by the Controllership Foundation, inserted, he says, "with a few minor revisions"; the book’s wording was not compared, so the wording is dated by the hearings, not by the book. Checked in a current copy; an archive capture was not available, so earlier bytes are not authenticated.
