illinois Labor Statistics.

Secretary David Ross of the Illinois
State Bureau of Labor Statistics is
gathering data that will be very in
teresting to the industries of the
state. 1t will show the difference be-
tween the organized industry of 1897
and the increase in numbers in 1901.
Among the questions that win be an
swered by secretaries and presidents
of unions is the total membership of
1897 and of 1901, the number OF ap-
prentices allowed in the trade, the
number unemployed during 1901, and
the causes that led to idleness during
that year; the difference. if any, in
wages of 1897 and 1901, change of
working hours between those years,
if any; cost per member to maintain
the organization of his trade: the
benefits and insurance that is paid by
the organization: the contributions
that are made toward organizations to
maintain union wages and conditions;
the relation that convict labor holds
to the various trades; the affiliation
with kindred trades, central bodies
and federations. of labor, and the bene-
fits derived from such affiliations.
This is the first time in the history of
the bureau that statistics of this ma
ture have been gathered OF such an
extensive character, and it will be
very interesting to workers and en-
ployers and the industrial world in
general

gentlemen came in. and after some
general conversation said they were
going to Berlin to Gerhardt. the de-,
posed minister. Madam Gerhardt
turned pale with alarm, fearing some
new calamity
Her husband however, with entire
self-possession, told the strangers that
he was the man. One of the gentle
men then gave him 6 letter from Duke
Christian Of Meresburg informing him
that in view of his unjust deposition
from the church in Berlin he had set

Gerhardt in the JOY Of that moment

his wife the hymn. see how God

go through, no use for you to try"
Promise you'll give me a chance,
Mr.. Hamar, anyhow"
MIR. Hamar promised. The next day
the defeated lad came home and the
congressman laughed at Uly's sharp.

mothers being out of butter that

But it was his own shrewdness to
see the chance. and promptness to

When Davy Crockett was on his

Bio Pay for unskilted Labor.

Big Pay for Unskilfed Labor.
New York leads all other cities in
the United States in the matter of
nigh wages for unskiIed labor. At
the top of the list are plasterers' la
borers, whose wages have risen year
by year until they are So day for
eight hours work, and who now de-
mand $3.50 day. Second to them
come the masons' laborers. who re-
ceive $2.75 day on an average. The
present wages of the tile layers help
ers, a class OF laborers some OF whom
develop into tile layers, are $3.50 a
day, but they have made demand for
So q day, which they are prepared to
enforce on June Is. Like all other
unions in the building trades, its mem
bers work under the eight-hour rule.
and receive special rates when they
work overtime. The city laborers gen
orally, including the street cleaners.
average 50 day. which is higher
wages than are paid to- this class Of
workers in any other city, or perhaps
in the world.
While the plasterers' laborers think
they are underpaid at SO day, there
are unions of highly skilled mechanics
the members of which work for lower
wages. Among these are the cabinet
makers and a number of other skilled
mechanics in the woodworking trades.
The wages of carpenters throughout
New York average less than $3.50
day, and in some parts OF Brooklyn
they are less than SO a day. Up to five
years ago the wages of skilled house
smiths were less than So day. though
they are now higher. Brooklyn paint
ers who can do graining are working
in many cases for less than So day,
and the skilled mechanics in num-
Der of the foundry trades do not earn
so much as that.
One reason given for the high wages
paid to laborers and helpers in the
building trades is that as journeymen
year by year have through their
unions forced wages up they have
pulled the laborers and helpers in
their distinctive trades up after them.
Another reason given is that the work
of these helpers and laborers, though
1t is classed as unsllilled labor, really
requires a certain amount of skill and
experience.

GOVERNOR AS AN INVESTMENT

Ex.Gov. Bunn tells of. an incident in

Geary was governor of the state. A

to have carried bullets away from sew
eral battles in which he had fought
and been wounded. There had been
some startling legislatiNn concerning
the incorporation of companies; and
Geary. who was believed to be mere
tool in the hands of those who were
near him in affairs of state. had been
very liberal with his signature. One
day. however, he rebelled, and his
friends and the lobbyists worked in
vain to induce him to sign one or two
bills savoring strongly of jobbery. AT
last one wag arose and said:
gentleman, l move that we consid-
