I don't think witchcraft had anything to do with it.
I think it was a commentary on the movement from an agricultural to industrial society. The factories around in the 1920's & 30's were becoming more mechanized. Mass production was coming on strong. Man had to work at the pace of the machine and therefore became a part of the machine.
