THE AMERICAN WORKWoMAN.

stuy OF the American woman with
reference 10 the labor problem by T..
Leyasseur Is published in the current
mum Der of the London Humanitarian As
the writer bases his findings chiefly on
the census reports OF 1890 his observations
hardly do justice to the situation at the
present time. Great changes in condi.
lions take place in the course of seven
years. Nevertheless Mr Levasseur's 8
article is interesting and instructive to a
cons .derable extent. He finds that
domestic service is one of the pursuits in
which American women least willingly
engage, and higher wages are thus OBJ.
tained n household work. The wage of
women is, in all countries, inferior to that
of men. 7 he ference is found great
fault with in this country, but does not
appear to be greater than in England or
France.
He observes that most American wo-
men live en- tdBtilte, and if they work at
their homes or in the workroom they con-
slder their earnings as a supplement- of in
come rather tnan a portion of the prin.
cipal household fund; and this is one
reason why they are less exacting In their
wages.
With certain exceptions, the number of
which, moreover, is on the increase, wo-
men have not hitherto been organized.
like men, in syndicates, in order to give
force to their claims; and this is set down
as another cause of inferiority. which
must not be lost sight of. In certain trades
where women can take the place of men
they are sought after not only because
they cost less, but because they are more
manageable and less liable to indulge in
strikes.
From one OF the reports of the Labor
Comm ssioner, devoted to women's work
IN twenty-five great cities in the United
States, 1t is found that the lowest average
rate exists at Atlanta, Ga, where it is 81 :;
while the highest rate of wages is paid in
the City of San Francisco, an average OF
S69l. The Now York rate is So "a. and
the general average OF the twenty-five
cities is s. "a Nineteen-twentieths of the
persons over whom this inquiry extended
were girls or widows. Approximately, it
is SAID, women receiving industrial WAGES
earn one-half less than men; but it yould
not be accurate TO apply this ratio to all
the industries where women and men are
engaged in the same kind OF work. Onr
women are paid double the wages re-.
csived by women in England or France.
in both of which countries, however
women's wages are one-haf those paid to

OUR SAILORS THE BEST PAID.

The controversy with regard to the paw
of men in the United States navy as COM
pared with that of men in the British serv-
ice has brought out facts and figures
which tend to show that it is of marked
financial advantage for a sailor TO en-
list in the United States navy. This Ma
tion pays midshipman, for instance.
$1,000 year, while England paws HIM
only paltry $3.50. The United States
pays naval cadet $500 year, while the
British cadet must content himself with
$50. We paw mate 1920; England pays
MIN about $500. We pay our gunners and
boatswains from $500 10 $500 year. while
England pays hers from $500 10 $3.50. We
pay petty officers from $426 to $50; Eng
land pays hers from $3.50 to 5000 The
American sailor has far the best of it.
But the tables are turned when the high
officers of the navy are reached. We
have neither admirals nor vice. ad mirals.
A rear admiral in the United States navy
receives $4,000 a year at sea, while the
same officer in the British navy receives
the munihcent sum of $l3,6S5 An Eng
hsh commodore's pay is $1,000. while an
Americans is only $4,000. Our captains
get $500 year, as against $3.50 for
British captain. Coming down 10 COM
mander, the American again more than
holds his own. for he gets $500 against
the Britou's $253O. Beyonl the latter
rank the English high officers are far in
the lead IN the matter OF salaries.

cenary motives and wants the best of it

A STEAM PILor-BoAT.

The steam pilot-boat New York, the pioneer
steam vessel in hat service, has just gone into

new pilot-boat is not a handsome vessel. Her
bows are too bluff. and her lines are not sharp
