which is very misleading is the fact
that the average number of days a
laborer receives employment during
a year is often omitted If a brick
layer gets Sc a day that does not
mean that he receives $500 a year.
although that would be the natural
conclusion reached by those who
read the statistics.
In our next report, | propose that
where any scale of wages is printed,
it is to be accompanied by state
ment as to the average yearly income
of the laborer, based upon the aver
age number of days he is employed.
Another question which is of con-
siderable Importance is the effect of
female labor on wages. In the major
ity of cases the girl or woman who
holds a position of any kind is at
least partially dependent upon some
male relative for support This, of
course, enables her to work for much
less remuneration than if she was en-
tirely dependent ON her own labor
for her livelihood, and thus it has
reached a point where the average
wages paid for female work is not
enough to comfortably support the
employee. 4nis, as is readily seen, is
a serious problem, especially to girls
and women who are compelled to
earn their own living, and where
they do office work ordinarily done
by men, 1t, of course, has the effect
of lowering the wages paid to the
men"

1T is A SKIN GAME.
Smooth Operators Import Canadian
COYOTE Pelts,

Smooth Operators Import Canadian
Coyote PeIts.
For ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain, the man who hunts
coyotes and wolves for their skins is
somewhat noted"
This was the observation of a resi-
cent of the northern part of the state
as he laid down his newspaper in the
lobby of the Thornton, at Butte. He
was discussing the practices of the
men who kill wolves for the bounty
they bring, and he had considerable
information to give out
The men who are at work rounding
up the wolves of the state of Mon
tana for their skins and the bounty
that is paid are not content to earn
what is paid by the state they want
illegal profits, and some of them are
likely to get into trouble thereby"
said he. Up in the northern part of
Montana they are bringing wolf skins
over from Canada and getting the
good money of the state of Montana
for the scalps. The Montana bounty
is a good one and the temptation is
great. There is an outfit up near the
Canadian line that has a 'wolflng'
outfit, and every little while a large
number of boxes are shipped in from
Canada. Recently a man from that
section sent a letter to the governor
of this state telling that he suspected
the contents of these boxes were
wolf scalps and that they were being
turned over to the county clerks to
get the bounty that is paid in this
state.
The governor turned the matter
over to Stock Inspector Pruitt, and
that official will look into the matter
of the case, Only a year or so ago
a man was sent up from Bozeman
for working the officials of Sweet
grass and Gallatin counties by i'm
porting wolf hides by the wholesale
and securing the bounties. This
scheme is one that is likely to get
the man who tries to work it into
serious trouble. The reason started
to talk about this subject is that |
happened to see the bounty law
quoted in the papers, Here is the
section that prescribes the penalty
for violations of the bounty law"
He read: "'Any person or persons
who shall patch up any skin or scalp
or who shall present any punched
skin or scalp, or shall bring any skin
or scalp from any other state or ter
ritory, with the intent to obtain
money on the same fraudulently, or
any officer who shall sign any certi-
ficate herein provided for without
first counting the skins and examin-
ing the same to determine the kind
of skins and to see that the skin from
the scalp or head is properly severed.
or shall evade any provision of this
act, shall be deemed guilty of q mis-
demeanor, and upon conviction there
of shall be punished by fine not ex-
ceedlng $1,000, or by Imprisonment
in the county Jail not exceeding one
year. or by both such fine and impris-
onment, and that two-thirds of the
collected, be given to the informer
and the balance to the state bounty

STATISTICS TO
BE DISCUSSED
Commissioner Ferguson Preparing a
Report.
SUICIDES TO BE INVESTIGATED
Statistics From Other States Show
Suicides Are Increasing Among the
Women Faster Than Among Men
Unique Chapter on Wage Question.

Commissioner j. A. Ferguson of
industry states that in the next an
nual report of the bureau, there will
be a chapter devoted to vital statis-
tics, with particular reference to the
suicides of the year and their cause.
From the newspaper reports, Com
missioner Ferguson is of the opinion
that the number OF suicides in this
state is increasing at an alarming
rate, and he is determined to investi-
gate the question from a purely eco
nomic point of view
Il anticipate no little difficulty in
collecting the data for this chapter"
said Commissioner Ferguson. "The
law requires that each coroner keep
a complete record of all violent
deaths brought to his attention, but
from partial investigation | find
that large number of coroners have
neglected this part of their duty, and
the necessary data will have to be
secured from various sources. From
a careful reading of the state papers,
it appears to me that Montana is in
line with other states in the matter
of suicides and that self destruction
is increasing.
statistics from other states show
that suicides are increasing more
rapidly among women that among
men, and that the majority of sui
cides can be traced to the fact that
the unfortunate victim is out of en-
ployment and without means of sub
sistence. The increasing number of
suicides among women is due to the
fact that more women are constantly
taking up the task of supporting
themselves, and unused to the siren
uous task, are discouraged to the
point of insanity by early reverses.
"The vital statistics chapter will
also deal with violent deaths of all
kinds, including homicides and fatal
accidents, and discussing the cause
of deaths of this kind"
In his coming report, Commissioner
Ferguson will deal with the wage
that of other compilers of statistics
I'm nine reports out of ten dealing
with the wage question can be found
parallel columns giving the wages
paid for certain classes of employ
ment in this and other countries,
continued the commissioner. 81 con
slider this entirely misleading, as
there are conditions which govern
the scale of wages. In most cases
the amount of wages received by {
man is dependent, to a great extern
at least on the amount of production
For instance, if an American brick
layer is paid Sc day for his labor
and lays $4,000 brick day, while
bricklayer in some European countr,
receives but 81 day and lays blu
500 brick, it is apparent that the Eu
ropean laborer is more expensive

National Business League Addressed

Richmond, Va, Aug. 25.-The Ma

ing was addressed by Booker T. Wash

on industrial advancement for the ne
gro.
mot so many negroes In politics, but
more in business" is the motto of the
League, which began it's third annual
league. was organized in Boston three
years ago and its every effort has
been and is directed toward encourage
ing the colored race to engage in bust
ness and agricultural pursuits. That
the desired conditions are being
brought about is evidenced by the re-
ports prepared for presentation at the
present session of the league. These
reports show that there is scarcely
any line of business to-day, from that
of banking down to the smallest lines
of merchandising, in which the negro
is not engaged. Those in attendance
include bankers, lawyers, real estate
men, cotton manufacturers, planters
and merchants, and they represent
among them an aggregate capital of
several million dollars.
The sessions of the league will con-
tinue three days, during which time
variety of subjects relating to the pro-
motion of the business interests of the
negro and in general the material, in
tellectual and spiritual advancement
of the race will be discussed.

TIMES PREDICTS DISASTER.
The Thunderer Says Troubles I'm
store for America

London, Aug. 26.-In an editorial ar
ticle this morning discussing the pres
ent economic situation in the United
States, the Times says it considers
that although the financial credit of
the United States is perhaps not quite
so good as it was a year ago. and the
actual situation not free from disquiet-
ing features, yet. being favored with
good harvests and a promising cotton
crop, business prospects appear to be
healthy for another year.
For the next few months at least
the big harvests of the United States
will probably secure the business world
against the collapse of credit in New
York, but, the paper continues, "un-
less we are to accept the newfangled
doctrine that in some mysterious way
economic laws need not be taken in
to account where America Is concern
ed, the present state of things and
the present fashion of finance cannot
continue forever.
Mere magnitude of resources, how
ever dazzling to the unthinking, will
not save their owner from embarass-
ment, or worse, If he allows his iabili-
ties to grow in excess of them"
