WAGES HIGHER THAN EVER
BEFORE IN OUR HISTORY
Commissioner Wright Says Labor Was
Never So Well Paid as Now.

CHICAGO III. Jan THE wages
paid now in the United States are higher
than ever before in the history Of the
country" was the statement made here
recedtly by Carroll D. Wright, Commits
sioner o. Labor He continued:
There is hardly a subject of such i'm
poTtance or which accurate information
is so difficult to obtain Take the re
cent Investigations by the coal strike
commission 1t is very difficult 10 ascer-
ain what a miner makes in a given
time He Is an employer of labor him
self paying wages of varying sums
Many other trades have fixed schedules
of wages But take the whole country
over. and it is a complex problem.
The highest level OF wages ever re-
ported before the present high water
mark was in 1892. In 1893 some indus
tries suspended and others reduced
wages. The general impression pre-
vailed that all wages went down. That
was not the case The wages paid in
most Industries kept right on at the
same rate. A few years ago the indus
tries that had cut wages restored them.
In the last two or three years wages
in some industries have been increased
over the rates of 1892, so the general
level is higher than ever before, but not
so much higher than in 1892 as is gen
orally supposed"
