a persistent inquirer, says the World,
has finally induced an amateur protec-
ton journal to publish statement of
the wages paid in various industries in
England, France, Germany, Italy and
Austria.
This is the only fair comparison to

World having similar conditions as to
density of population, demand for labor,
productivness, cost of living and the
