conductors substantial increase.
On page 692 of the bulletin of
the national department of labor
for July, 1900, may be found a
table of average daily compensa-
tion of all railway employees of
the United States, as furnished
by the statistician of the inter-
state-commerce commission. AS
the figures are obtained from the
employing railway corporations
they cannot be supposed to con-
ceal any increase that has occur
red. From the table it appears
that the Substantial increase"
enjoyed by conductors since 1896
amounts to 8 cents per day, or but
per cent, and that instead of an
increase of As per cent in the pay
of railway engineers the increase
was less than 2 per cent. The
increase shown for fireman, other
trainmen and laborers amounts to
but 4 cents per day for each class.
The figures, however, take no
account of an important element
which must be considered in any
inquiry with reference to the con-
dition of railway employees. This
is the fact that in recent years
the work has been nearly if not
quite doubled. More powerful
engines draw trains of double
length with no increase of crew
to handle them. The fireman
shovels double the amount of coal
for the same wages and has lost
his opportunity for promotion, for
with experienced engineers laid
off and waiting for an opportuni-

Following is treatise of this
subject by the Chicago Record,
with statistical tables showing
the daily and annual earnings of
the wage Garner for several years
together. The figures are taken
from reports compiled by repub-
lican officials, and are certainly
not overdrawn, as the party ad-
vertises itself as the guide and
keeper of the working man and
the vigilant protector of his every
interest. The Record says:
Whether there is,ground for the
claim so frequently made of the
wage earners since the advent of
the present administration, or
whether, as is claimed by its op-
ponents, this boasted prosperity is
enjoyed only by the favored few,
is a question which seems sus-
ceptible of statistical demon
stration. 1t is, however, true, as
has been said, that like sausage,
whether statistics are good and
reliable or not depends upon who
makes them.
AS throwing light upon this
question it is my purpose to con-
trast statistics from sources that
seem most reliable with those
quoted by the Chicago Tribune in
its issue of the Sd ult. from proof
slips of the republican textbook"
for the campaign of 1900.
These statistics said to have been
reported by labor organizations,
show an increase of wages for
different industries, ranging from
3 per cent for glass workers to
1,5OO for stage employees. Accord
ing to the table presented there
was an increase in wages in the
latter industry of Is per cent in
1897 over the wages of 1896, zoe
per cent in 1893 over those OF
1897, and on top of this an in
crease in 1899 of 800 per cent.
For nearly every class of wage.
carriers large though not equal
percentage of increase is shown.
For railway employees the fol-
lowing increase is shown:
