HOW WORKERS LIVE.
A Federal Agent Is Here to Gather
Statistics.
DETAILED FIGURES ARE SOUGHT
The Inquiry Will Also Cover Seized.

trial Institutions.

NJ. Dewey, special agent of the fed
eral bureau Of labor ut Washington, is In
the city, and with his wife is staying at
the Hyland. Ninth street and Hennepln
avenue. Mr.. DeWey's mission to Mime
apols at this time has to do with the in
formation desired by the government con-
cerning general Industrial conditions in
the United Staes. There are twenty
such special agents gathering the detailed
information and force of eighty clerks
In the Washington office is kept busy by
them. The work is under the direction
OF Carroll d. Wright, commissioner OF Ia
Dor.
To a reporter for II h e Journal Mr..
Dewey to-day outlined his work as fol-
lows:
This Is the second time in the history OF
our department that such an inquiry has
been made. Schedules Of wages for one
month in each Of the last twelve years are
taken from each industrial establishment in
operation all of that time, and for each spe-
cittc class OF skilled labor employed. Retail
prices of the necessaries Of life are then OBJ
tanned for the same period from the sales
books of one or more reliable retail houses,
and for each month Of the twelve years In
question. To this is added, in a city of this
size, 200 schedules Of what are called family
budgets" taken at random about the city
from the families of wage workers, and in
cludes such information as number in fam
lily, ages and occupation, and total family
income. Expenses for one year are also Sc
cured, classified as rent, fuel, light. clothing,
food and all other miscellaneous expenses OF
the family for the year. Number OF weeks
the head of the household was idle, and the
cause Of same is one OF the questions on
the blank. s.%est,sy
Whenever possible to do so, we secure the
expenditures in much greater detail, covering
each item Of food expense ETC.; but we rarely
find families having records fine enough to
fill that particular schedule accurately. We
esteem ourselves in luck If we can get one
Of those blanks filled to ten of the other one,
thought both call for identically the same
general information. So -

The Journal Company had purchased
presses from Seymour & Brewer. He was
informed that T b jour- a ! had given
an order for three Seymour Brewer
presses, that they were regarded as good
machines. and would soon be installed.
Mr.. Peavey then explained that his rea-
son for making the inquiry was that Mr..
Brewer, one Of the young men consti-
tuting the firm of Seymour & Brewer,
press builders in Chicago. had asked him
to advance $4,000 on the strength Of his
contract with The Journal. Mr..

SETTLERS FOR WISCONSIN
Heavy Immigration Is Expected
Early in the Spring.

.
It is already evident that northern Wis
consin is to secure a large increase in
immigration this year and a good share of
the movement will pass through Mime
apolis. Two big purchases of lands by
Iowa parties. which will probably be
closed within a few days, will have an
influence on this movement. One deal for
2O0 900 acres tributary to the 500 road will
be closed early next week and the work
Of colonizing it will begin at once.
Settlement Of Wisconsin lands Is a
slower process than the settlement and
cultivation of prairie soil. The work has
been progressing quietly for two years.
500 officials make the prediction that
within a few years the Wisconsin terri
tory tributary to their road will be one
of the best dairy sections Of the west.
Most of this territory will do it's buying
in Minneapolis. General Passenger Agent
Galloway of the 500 says that the move
ment into Wisconsin this spring by way
of Minneapolis will reach surprising
figures. 80. ,.-- p.

H. c. Earle Denies the Sugar War
Story. -@

H. G. Earle, representing the American
Sugar Refinery, brands as false the state
ment that the trust is filling available
warehouses with the purpose of making
war on the beet sugar people. Before the
close of navigation an independent refinery
in the east shipped 100 carloads of sugar
to two junction points in Wisconsin for
distribution when satisfactory prices
should obtain. The shipper took ad-
vantage Of the low lake and rail rates. On
this fact Is based the rumor. Mr.. Earle
says that in truth the trust has only one
tenth of the amount at hand last year
owing to the low price made by the beet
sugar producers.
