PECK'S LETTER OF REPUTATION.

| Organization, Not Protection, Raised
Wages ana shortened Hours.
HoRNELLsvuLE, \. N, September /.
The following letter OF Labor Com
missioner Peck TO his former partner,
w. II. Greenhow, of the EUcRiRg 1Ft-
blue, was published in that paper this
| afternoon:
ALBANY, May 10, 1892.
81 was glad 10 see you take up the
| Times assertion that my reports proved
/ that wOrkingmen had received increaS-
ed wages and reply 10 it as you did.
notice, however, that the same paper
I Of yesterday again refOre TO my
/ report Of 1891. IL claims that
show that there were 1,94I Instances Of
advanced wages for 1891, and 2,OS5
/ cases ia which the hours of labor were
| shortened, while it records only AL
/ cases OF reduction. Whether the Times
has purposelY attempted TO deceive its
readers l don't pretend to say, but the
fact is that she figures quoted are taken
from this bureau report for 1890 and
not 1891, the year before the Mckinley
bill went into effect and not the year
after, as il would have the public be-
lieve.
However, it makes no special differ
euCe, for the reason, as you clearly set
forth, that In every instance of either
the increase of wages or shortening OF
hours it was the direct result Of the de-
mands of organized labor and from no
other conceivable cause. When my re-
port for 1891 does come out the Times
and all the protection papers of the
whole country will have 10 stand from
under. / am tabulating the data and
statistics of the industrial census have
| taken for the year before and tue year
after the Mckinley bill went into effect,
and enough has been demonstrated to
warrant me in claiming that II will fur
nlsh the most complete refutation Of
the theories Of the prOtectoniSts in re-
gard TO wages that have ever been pub
/ ished.
IT shall also continue the results Of
all later disturbances occurring in the
State during the last year and show
that out Of the thousands of successful
strikes for increase OF wages not one
was or is attributable to protection.
And l shall show from the manuiac-
| turers themselves that In no single in
stance where there was an increase Of
wages was 1t voluntary on their part.
Except IN individual cases every in
crease was the result of the demand on
the part Of employees enforced through
their organization.
Il know you will want to publish
this fact or 10 quote me, but I must re-
quest that you keep silent on the mat
ter till the report comes cut. You can,
however, call the Times down for hav-
ing miSled the public as TO the year.
