Does More for the Wages Paid Than
Any Other Labor.
James L. Hill, president of the
Great Northern and other railroads, is
authority for the assertion that a train
gang on his American railroads handle
more than seven times as many tons
of freight per mile as do' the trail.
gangs of English, French or German
railroads. For this seven times as
much result American trainmen re
ceive less than twice as much wages.
Secretary Wilson of the department
of agriculture, in an address the other
day, said that one American farm
hand produces more rice than 400
Chinamen. Chinese wages are only
10 to 12 cents a day; but if the rice
workers of this country got the same
rate for results produced, their pay
would be $44 to $48 a day, instead of
$1.50.
'Cheap labor" never could produce
the marvelous crops and manufactur
ers of this country. Yet, measured by
what it does, it is the cheapest labor
on the surface of the earth.
And it is utterly false that prices are
higher because wages are high.
Compared with the price the con
sumer pays, wages are lower than in
Europe or China. St. Louis Globe

The Grand Trunk railroad seems to
be having considerable trouble with
the men taken to Battle Creek from
Port Huron two months ago. Almost
every day one or more of the men x.
turn here, saying that they have baen
put on piecework since the shops were

their expenses under the new sched'

THE WOMAN WORKER.
How She Depresses the Labor Market
When She Enters It.
"Women," said a big trade union
K
official last? year," is the white China
man of the industrial " world. She
wears a coiled up que, and where-
ever she goes she cheapens the worth
of human labor."
An illustration follows:
Miss Mary McDowell, of the Univer
sity of Chicago Settlement, was ob
serving a girl who was operating an
unusually heavy and intricate ma
chine in a large hardware factory in
an Ohio city. '
"Strong, clever girl," remarked Miss
McDowell or words to that effect.
"She's doubled the output of that
machine," said the superintendent.
"How did she get such a good job?"
asked Miss McDowell.
"Her father," said the superinten
dent, "had the machine before she
got it. We just thought we'd try her."
"How much," said Miss McDowell,
being Scotch and suspicious and not
completely satisfied with this proof
of the advance of woman, "how much
do you pay her compared with that
you paid her father?"
"Half," said the superintendent.
This girl, therefore, since she was
producing twice as much and earning
No
half as much, as her father had pro
duced and earned, was selling her
labor at one-quarter of the masculine
market price. It doesn't seem exactly
fair, from the standpoint of society.
It doesn't seem exactly self-respecting,

According to the Kansas City Labor
Herald, William F. Coakley, secretary
of the plumbers' local there, has been
elected to the legislature, despite the
most bitter antagonism from the Em
ployers' Association and they went
to extreme measures to encompass
his defeat, sending circulars to their
members and friends which were de
void of a signature calling upon them
to vote against him, but as results
proved, without avail.
