IN ELECTRICAL OCCUPATIONS

Foremen and superintendents Of cleo
trical machine shops get from 500 to
5000 per month, and good foremsn are
hard to find.
Armaturc Windcrs- Such men were
formerly well paid, but the adoption Of

has reduced the wages to an average
of about $3.50 per day. Good foremen
Of armature winding departments get
three to four dollars per day.
Draughtsmen-The average salary
about 50 .25 per day. The best drnughts-
men are those who combine knowl-
edge of shop practice, methods of con-
struction and principles of design with
ability to draw rapidly and accurately.
Such man may become a chief
draughtsman, and his occupation pays
as high as five dollars per day.
Electrical Mechanics Electrical
working is suffering from the lack Of
the old-fashioned apprentice system.
Good electrical mechanics are hard to
find and the demand is steady. In spe-
cial lines, such us telephone branches,
good electrical mechanics make from
five to six dollars per day. These are
men with an all-round experience who
have level heads and well trained hands.
Designers--The information received
does not agree upon this occupation.
Some say 1t is overcrowded, and there
fore ability in this line is underpaid,
while certain manufacturer says he

are one or two cases in Chicago where q
higher salary is received.

others, a fellow about 35 or 40 years
of age came in and asked to see
some calico. The dealer put a num-
ber of pieces on the counter before
him. After examining every piece,
he said it was not nearly as good as
the calico fifty years ago, neither had
it the same spots, and thought II
could not be nearly as wide, and
guessed he did not want any. After
a number OF examinations OF the
same style, he made tiftcen-cent
purchase, payable next week, and
wound up by accusing the merchant
of iamming two quarts OF fsyrup into
a quart jar a few days previous.
After he had gone we asked the
merchant who he was and he said
out point blank, "Mr. Growler. "
