exceed s12 for men and $3.50 a week for
women clerks.
The shoemakers have suffered materially in
their earning power owing to the hard tnnes,
so that the average rate Of wages for mem
bers of the union does not exceed ~ week,
while the wages Of on-unionists will prove
about So.
The BARRIERS union has maintained its scale
of $14 week in frst-class shops and ST.
in those of the second class. NOn-unlon bar
bers average about So week.
The cgarmakers' union has maintained
its scale through the hard times. This has
been made possible on account of the benefit
paid to unemployed members. But owing to
the long periods of enforced idleness the
average wages are about SO a week. the
wages in the non-uniOn factories, however,
will not exceed Sc a week. The union re-
ports instances where nOn-union manufacture
ers reduced wages as low as 60 per cent be-
low the union scale, although they ask the
same prices for their goods as formerly.
The tin, sheet iron and cOrnice workers
have a nine-hOur work day and scale of 2212
cents an hour, or about So a week, while
non-unionists in this craft work ten hours
day at 50 a week.
The plumbers union has established a scale
ranging from SIS to $21 a week. according TO
the number of years experience, while non
union plumbers receive almost any sum rom
S. TO $40 a week.
The bricklayers have scale of $3.50 a day
and nine hours; the non-unionists work ten
| hours at 20 and Is cents an hour.
Press feeders have scale ranging from. So
unionists receive from 81 to s. for the same
| kind of work.
| The printers have a scale which ranges
| from SIS a week for job printers to $25 a
| week for night composition OF the da11eS,
while some Of those outside the pale Of the
| union receive as low as S4 week.
In trades in which comparisons were
made the following rates of wages prevail:
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-02-28

1t might be we'll to note in this connec-
ton that these figures do not represent the
actual earnings in these trades. Such trades
data while it would be very interesting at
this time would involve a greater expenditure
of time and money than this assembly or its
officers could spare The figures, however,
will answer all purposes of comparison. They
demonstrate farther that even in periods OF
severe industrial depression the union enables
it's members to receive better wages than those
who will not see the advantages Of thorough
craft organization.
There is another deduction that can be
drawn from a study of these figures. The
superficial student of trades unions makes
the criticism that in establishing a scale of
wages the union places the especially skilled
and energetic member at a disadvantage. The
reverse of this assertion is the fact. The
union simply declares that 1t requires GER
tain number of years to become proficient in
the trade, and that its poorest skilled work
man is worth the union scale. In no case
does it forbid the payment of more than the
minimum if the employer finds a worthy
workman who excels his fellows. However
employers do not as a rule pay more than the
prevailing rate which following the law of
supply and demand is based upon the number
of men seeking work and their ability to per-
form the same. The union regulates this
law SO that wages Of its members shall not
fall below level at which the member can
