Incomes of American workmen.

Incomes of American Workmen.
Iron Trade Review.
Statistics of the incomes, expenses
and savings, or otherwise, OF 2,490
families in the United states are
given by the Commissioner of Labor
in his annual report Or the above,
1852 families ara engaged i'm the pig
iron industry, 1923 in bar iron, 1873 in
steel, sos in bituminous coal, 2I9 in
coke, and 165 IN iroa ore. OF TO
families investigated in Europe, rs
are engaged in the pig iron industry,
25l iu bar iron, POI in steel, 1874 in BIZ
luminous coal, 20 IN coke aud 10 in
iron ore. r..
From the data given, it appears
that the largest average income in the
United States is by iron families, it
being S784.11. The smallest Income is
tor iron ore families, it being $40l IS.
In Europe the highest income is for
families engaged in the steel indus
try, where 1t is $500. 10 One would
naturally have expected that in the
United States the average income o.
families engaged in the steel Industry
would have been the largest, instead
of those in the bar iron, or any other
of the industries considered, but for
several years the new process intro
duced in the manufacture OF steel in
this country have enabled the produce
ers to employ lower grade of help,
so that bar iron with it's skilled
workmsn now leads the iron indus
tries In Europe these processes
have not been 80 thoroughly develop
ed in the steel manufacture, and so
q high grade OF skill is found there.
Incomes vary widely even in the
United States. For instance, in the
pig from industry, the average family
is 5 6, with an average income of $499..
05, or an average for each individual
in each family of sSS 4S; In Illinois
the income rises to s723 SO per family,
or Sl68.30 per individuals; In Ohio,
1856 80 per family; in New York,
S556.99; in Pennsylvania, 1925 SO; in
Tennessee, $546 81; in Virginia. $780,
20. and In West Virginia, S696.67
For Belgium the income per family is
1914 SO, while in Great Britain it is
S456 Sc.
For the 2490 American families $40
own homes, and the average rental
for others is $l523 per individual,
while for Europe 81 families out or no
own their houses, and the average
expenditure for rent is 81 81 per indi.
vidual, or half what it is in the Uui-
ted States. The average expenditure
for food in Europe is Sal so per indi-
vidual, as against S4S so in the United
States. The total expenditure for all
purposes per individual in Europe
is $50 25, as against Sl10 SS in the Unit
ted States, while the average in
come in per individual for the Euro.
pean families is SSS AT, as against
Sl2l II in the United States. The
average expenditure for intoxicating
liquors for all the families giving In
formation in the United States was
$40 go, and In Europe S23.l7. The
average expenses for books and news
papers are: LII the UnitedStates, SIS 20;

Protection from Rife Bullets.

From the London Daily News.
Commenting on the penetrative
powers Of the small arms lately in
troduced into the armies OF all the
great Powers, Col. LoDsdale Hale
states that the minimum thickness of
ordinary coil atfordiDg protection is
30 inches, while single brick walls,
after being struck few times, no
longer afford any cover. Tue new
German ride ranges up to 1000 yards
and at 900 yards the bullet will pene-
trate 10 inches OF fir or pine aud IA
inches of sand. AZ $50 yards the
bullet can pierce three or four ranks,
and at 1900 yards a man may no Ion
ger consider himself Fate, even IL the
bullet has already penetrated two of
his cOmrads. With regard to ''smoke
less powder" the same authority OBJ
serves that, ,ough the report or the
rifles when fired Is heard, 1t is veIy
difficult to see whence the rifles are
fired. Under certain conditions no
trace of smoke can be distinguished.
Minor acts of surprise, he con sders,
will be more frequent IN the future,
and will often partake OF the nature
of ambuscades. Very small bodies OF
cavalry intimately connected With in
fantry, forming in action patrols of
the latter, will. therefore, be neces-
sary, aud it will no longer be posi-
BILE to discover well. posted batteries.
On the whole, Col. Hale considers
that only war can absolutely decide
what the effects Of the improvements
In small arms will be, One thing,
however, lie certain-that is, that the
difficulty of leading troops has con-
sideraoly increased.

Iiouor Sellers Responsible.


1t may not I've universally known, yet
it is nevertheless the law that a licensed
liquor seller is responsible for any dam.

of Pennsylvania has gone a step fur

en- exposure.
In the suit of Caroline Davies against
Felix Mcknight and others, the Court
susl aims II recovery under n statute but
little known. On a night in October,
1889, Robert Davies. husband of the
plaintiff, became intoxicated on liquor
furnished by the defendants, and, on
his way home, fell in a gutter and lay
there. The gutter was full Of water,
and Davies got the pneumonia ard died
A jury gave his widow substantial
damages. The saloon keepers only de-
fence was that the liquor was not the
what Davies drank he drank voluntar-
lily. The supreme Court holds that the
verdict of the jury is conclusive upon
the first point, and, as to the second,
says: "The contention that the vOlun-
tary taking of liquor by the deceased,
while intoxicated, and being at the
time of known incorporate habits, was
such contributory negligence upon his
part as would prevent a recovery by
the plaintiff, will not bear examination.
Such a ruling would practically destroy
the act of Assembly. Every drunkard
not only takes liquor voluntarily, but
whenever he can get it, and because of
his weakness the law makes the saloon
keeper responsible for selling to such
persons. He has not The will power to
resist the temptation, and. for this rea
son, the sale to him is forbidden"
The license laws of New Jersey are
as strict as those of Pennsylvania for
the Werts law forbids selling to a per
son of confirmed Incorporate habits or
who is visibly under the influence of in.
relocating liquors. If it be lawful for
a widow to recover damages for death
in a drunken debauch why is it not le-
gal to recover damages where a man
may go OF sprees and thus deprive his
wife and family of support they usually
receive when he is sober?
Sec. 13 of the license law of New
Jersey says: ''That 1t shall be the duty
of, and it is hereby expressly enjoined
upon, the said court, 10 license u o more
inns and tayeTns, in their respective
counties, than shall be necessary to ac-
commodate and entertain travellers and
strangers, to serve the public occasions
of the said counties and for the con-
v%einence of mems meeting together to
transact business, and to prevent, as
much as possible, inns and taverns to
be kept for The encouragement of gam.
