Only 5 l.d2s per day is paid to labore's in Il. {

cascned hy the war This rush Of cmm;
grafton has been attracted bv the high
WAGES now paid in this country. We also
understand that the Mississippi and Mis-
soari Railroad will reduce the wages Of the
men engaged in grading to / - per dav.-

and material came down.
One year ago IA large number OF o,lr rail
roads were prclectet; al the rolling mills
