and work was at once commenced on the

employed. The proposed road is forty
miles in length and is known as the West
ern Division of the county road system
for which Clallam county was bonded two
years ago for 100000. The other divisions
have been completed and this is the last end
to be finished. As there is only $4,000 left

The reports for manufacturing opera
tons conducted by the government en-
brace the lock and mail bag repair shops
of the postotfice department, sometimes
called "Wanamaker's sweat shop" in
consequence of the low compensation paid
to the laborers, principally women, the
public printing office and bindery, the bu-
reau of engraving and printing, navy
yard ordnance and ordnance stores, and
the carpenter shops operated by the war,
navy and treasury departments.
The curious deductions TO be made from
these tables are concerning the average
earnings of persons in all classes of manu-
facture, when they come to be compared
with the average earnings or persons to
whom wages are paid by the government
and by private establishments. 1t appears
that all of the %, All persons engaged IN all
manufacturing establishments were paid
$l4, 63S, 100, which would be an average of
1923. 50 per person. The 1882 persons en-
ployed in the manufacturing establish
ments of the government earned or were
paid 50, s21. l76, or an average per per-
son or wage Garner of 1854. The IS $50
persons employed in private establish
ments earned sl0.si7,6 GA, or an
average OF 1912; or, the worker in pri-
vate establishment received S5l year less
than the average of all earnings and 1862
less than the average earnings of the gov
eminent employees in manufacturing es-
Establishments.
Notwithstanding that the eight-hour
law is supposed to prevail here generally,
it is found that the employees in the -four
ing and grist mills work fourteen hours,
while the marble and stone workers labor
S.25 hours, having the shortest hours of
labor in the city. The wonder is, not that
there is so much manufacturing here, with
the government putting premium on
easy work, but that there is any manu-
featuring at all.
