Quite a strain on a child to

you can do to live along as you

get weak and sickly as a result
of it.

A Decline in Wages for the First
Time Since 1895.
Tne Outlook for Labor over There Is
Less Encouraging Than for
Several Years Past.
TABLE OF STANDARD WAGES

A marked reduction in the wages II
labor in England is reported in { e
Chamber OF Commerce Journal, the
official organ of the London Ohnmhor
OF commerce, copy Of which has
Just reached the treasury bureau of
statistics.
There is warning, il says, Ito
masters and men alike in the official
report ON the changes in rates of wages
and hours Of labor during 1901. IL
foreshadows relapse from the pros
perity of the last few years, q decline
in wages having TO be recorded for the
first time since 1895 Moreover, dur
ing the first halt Of the present yesr,
the tendency is still towards lower
wages The number Of work people
affected by reductions in 1901 was
greater than any year in the period
1898 1901, the computed amount Of
the reductions being more than the to-
tai reductions recorded in the previous
eight years. II Is estimated that the
net decrease in the wages bill last year
was about ,5s4, 900 pounds sterling,
compared with a net increase of six
millions in 1900. The fall in wages
was confined to the mining and quar-
rying and the metal, engineering and
shipbuildiug groups OF industries, there
being net increases in the other groups
building, textile, clothing, etc.
One most satisfactory feature in the
report is however, the fact that there
was a large increase in the percent.
age Of workpeople whose wages were
settled by Cancellation boards, etc,
which is mainly due TO the forma-
tion OF establishment of such
boards IL the mining industry. Out
of every 100 persons whose wages
were changed only two were con-
cerned in strikes and lookouts. This
is the lowest recorded percentage.
With regard to changes in hours of Ia.

behooves both employers and employed
to use common sense, zeal and intelli
