WOMEN AND WAGES.
Some Economic Reasons Why They Are Paid
Less Than Men

Tho question most frequently asked with refer
ence to the wages of women is. ny are they
not paid the wages as men for doing the
same worl?' writes Horace G. Wadlin. chief of the
Massachusetts, Bureau of Statistics of Labor in
The Club Woman
Nevertheless it is becoming more and more
the fact that. except in certain exceptional and
transitional cases and in certain emplOyments re-
curing special talent professional skill and ex-
tended education. women do not do the same work
as men if the adjective same is used IN the
sense of Identical relating TO the kind or work
without regard its quality, and one or the
reasons that women do not in general receive so
large wages men is because they DO not IN
general do the same work
In many industries do better work than
men and are preferable to men for various rea-
sons They gravitate toward certain employnents
for which they are present better fitted In
these employments they drive out the men pre-
,,iousIv EMPLOYED and while this operation is
going on they compete with men for en-
ployment and Undoubtedly for wages; but
these are generally under present conditions en-
plovments requiring particular skill nor ex-
tended training, and therefore rarge numbers OF
seek them.
The time is exceedingly short IN any industry
during which women perform the same work as
men The work best adapted TO women becomes
not worth the mans while: he goes into other
arnnIovments For the most part. therefore, wo-
men in industry do not compare with men. out
with other women, and this is one or the leaoIns
causes Of their lower wage level
Again. the wages of women affected by
their lack of training and by the fact that the
adult woman competes with the young woman
Experience as a rule brings no larger reward to
the woman worker. for the work mainly open to
her Is mechanical and routine work. Besides this.
the fact that women have bnot generally entered
the higher positions of skill and trust operates
adversely upon their wage status. The man
in Industry has hope OF advancement; the
woman except to a very limited degree. cannot
nc yet look forward to such preferment; she mainly
looks forward to marriage. Marriage generally
takes her out of industry. Not so with men.
Women workers. too. are largely unorganized and
are therefore unable to present the united front
In opposition attempts TO reduce or prevent
the advance of wages which. to a greater or less
extent is presented by unions among men
There is another economic reason for the lower
wage standard of workers AS rule
wages which constitute the price paid for services
are fixed by the OF production Of such services
and the cost of living for women lis lower than
for men because. notwithstanding numerous eN-
c.ntionaI instances. they Do not IN general sup
mort theirs and in cases the Young women

Jackson, convicted of the murder OF
Fannie Buck six year old boy was
taken from the county Jail last night
by mob and lynched. Shortly be-
fore midnight IS masked men, all arm
ed with rifles and shotguns, forced
their way through the rear of the jail
and overpowered Jailer Stephens, who
was able to offer only slight resist
ance
Jackson was found cringing in the
darkest part of his cell. He pleaded
piteously but was rushed into the
street where the mob had rope. This
was quickly thrown over an electric
light pole, and Jackson was pulled up,
pleading for mercy. Not shot was
fired. The murder of little Fannie
Buck was particularly atrocious. When
the boys body was found it was hor.
ribly mutilated.

THE COAL MINES
OF NEW MEXICO
Thew Produced $50 Tons Of Coal Durng the Past
Fiscal Year, OneFHth More Than the
Year Previous.

The mine inspector predicts an in
crease of fifty per cent in the produc
ton of the coal mines during the ensu
ing year.
The production by counties is giveI
below: Colfax county takes first place
with a production of 558,8O5 tons; Nc
Kinley county is close second with
539,91O tons; Lincoln county is third
98,096 tons; Santa Fe county is fourth
92,359 tons; Rio Arriba county is fifth
39,10O tons; Socorro county is sixth
2s,46O tons; San Juan county Is
seventh, 1900 tons.
Socorro county returns were only
approximated as the principal coal op
orator of the county had not yet SEM
in his returns when the mine inspect
or closed his report. 1t is possible
tnat the returns from Socorro county
may be 25 per cent to so per cent larg
er than is given in the list OF produc
tion.

ty of Sierra should lead in the per

Territorial Auditor w. G. Sargent,
has compiled the assessed valuation
for each county of the Territory al
though some of the assessment re-
turns are not complete or the classi.
fed totals conflict with the grand to.
tails. There may be some changes
therefore before the figures can be &C
cepted as final. They, however. are
very near the correct amounts. San
Miguel county leads in taxable valua
ton, the total assessment being $4,'
732,436. Bernalillo county is second
with valuation of So, lO3,l ,l2O. Col
fax. Chaves and Grant come next in
the order named, their assessed valua-
ton being respectively $2,9S1,411; 81
939,O12 and $2.912,977. Other counties
whose assessed valuation is above 81
900 900 are the following: Santa Fe,
s2.2O7, ,S42; Dona Ana, $2,1S9,899; So
zorro, $2,OS6,610; Union $2,O21.b4O.
The counties whose assessed valuation
exceeds 81 900, 900 are Eddy 1887 ,914;
Otero, $1,57O,S64; Luna, $1,502692;
Valencia, $1,359,7S6; Lincoln, s1,34o,-
SO2; Sierra, $1,326.92O; Mora, $1,175,-
1923. Then come Rio Arriba, 1881 ,655;
Mckinley, $96S,1,7; Leonard Wood,
$e23,O17; Sandoval, $792,565; Quay,
$762,99S; San Juan, $679,491 Taos,
$677 7,82O; Roosevelt, $G49,164.
The total assessed valuation OF the
Territory according to the above fig
ures is $41,S51,576 gain over last
year of $742,S31. However, the actual
gain in assessment subject to taxation
is almost $3,O00,000, owing to the
elimination of double assessments in
several counties. Ten counties show
loss in assessment partly accounted
for by the loss of territory toward the
creation of new counties, while eleven
counties show gains In assessed valua-
ton. The greatest loss in assessed val
uation is in assessment of Bernalillo
