Hours of Labor From "a. m. to IL p, IN.
for Seven Days.
A report from United States Consul
Goodnow, at Shanghai, to our State De-
partment, on the tire-rracker industry in
China, reveals once more the miserable
condition of labor in that country. Dur
ing S91 nearly 1900 ,0OO pOu ads of fire
crackers were exported from China
("bietly to the United States), and these
represent only small proportion of the
total number manufactured. They are
used in China at all sorts Of ceremOnials,
festivities, weddings, funerals, ETC. The
crackers are made in the same shops
where they are sold, and in the homes
of the workmen themselves. Generally
the entire family help; practically the
whole work is done by hand. In Can
ton the export price of 1910, 0 of the or
binary small crackers is 81 cents, and
1000 Of the largest kind sell for s.. The
hours of labor are from H. m. to ii p.
M, and the laborers work seven days in
the week. Thirty women and ten men,
IL IL said, can make 100000 crackers per
day, and for such days work a man is
paid cents, woman cents. Appren-
tices in the fire-cracker business are
bound out for term of four years, dur
ing which they receive only their board.
Expert wOrkmen receive 10 cents per
day, but that is the maximum. The and
cents per day rate, says our Consul,
represents about the average wages
paid in Shanghai for common labor.
This, of course, will buy enough rice to
sustain life, and some sort of shelter at
night, but that is all. Is it any wonder
that, with the quality of citizenship
such wage-rate must give, China has
social degradation, paganism and pOlit-
ical despotism?-Gunton's Magazine.
