The Georgians put aside the good stout

MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME

Oakland IS exhibiting a decidedly pro-
cressive spirit of late. Her citizens are
moving forward all along the line, it
would seem. Nobody talks of Iethargy
now over there. Every body appears to
be vying with his neigh Dor in his effort
to push things along generally. The
Oaklanders, after carrying the annexation
scheme have directed their attention to-
ward the removal of certain obipctio nab e
conditions that obtain on streets and
sidewalks. Oakland is a beautiful city,
and her citizens do not intend TO see her
beauty marred, if It is in their power to
preVentit.
They have begun a crusade against
those stree. and sidewalk obstructions
which must be classed in the category of
public nuisances. These consist not
merely in barrels and boxes which block
up the side streets, but of portable stores
and manufactures ION small scale, of
course) standing on tho street or on the
edge of the sidewalk, rent free, and not
only causing inconvenience to travel and
traffic, but inju-iously affecting many
merchants of the vicinity who pay high
rents and taxes. These portable shops
are violating city ordinance, which has
hitherto been dead letter, but which the
citizens will now see enforced.
They are determined 10 clear the streets
of unlawful distractions; and. further
more, as measure in behalf of sanitation
and cleanliness an anti-expectoration or
dinance is now being drawn up by the
local Board of Health. 1t will pass; the
people demand il. Every citv ought to
have law of that kind. San Francisco's
sidewalks never presented better appear
ance than has been the case since the anti
expectoration ordinance went into effect
here. Oakland is wide awake and making

WOMEN AS WORKERS.

The most interesting feature of the
latest bulletin issued by the United
States Department of Labor is q summary
of the results of an inquiry into the ex-
tent to which women are entering fields
of labor hitherto occupied solely By men
and a com parison of the rates of wages
paid in such industries TO men, women
and children.
For tie purposes of the investigation
the department obtained information
from 1867 establishments of different
kinds located in thirty States. The in
formation given covers the mum Der of
employees and the rates of wages paid at
two periods. one OF which was some week
in 1895 or 1S96-the time when the inquiry
was made-and the other a week ante-
dating that by ten years. The data OBJ
tanned affords. therefore, a means for
noting the increase of women and chill
dren in the industries of the country, as
we'll as statistics showing the extent to
which it has now been carried.
The conclusion drawn from census tables
published in the bulletin is that the pro-
portion of females 10 years of age or over
employed In all occupations of the United
States rose In relation TO the whole num-
Der employed from II 6S per cent in 1870
to 1922 per cent in 1890. The proportion
OF males, on the other hand. decreased
from s5.32 per cent in 1870 to 80. 7s per cent
in 1890. The statistics taken in the recent
investigation confirm those of the census
years and justify the conclusion that fe-
males are to some extent entering into
various empIoyments at the expense OF
males.
A comparison of the rates of wages paid
in various industries where both sexes are
employed shows that on an average men
are paid % per cent more than women,
even when the efficiency of the labor is no
