1902. -. 81 .333 26.6l5OO4 434.SO Or
From the above table it will be
noticed that the annual average wages
of those reporting have increased
1927 per cent over 1896 OF the 1927
employers reporting for 1902, 421 re-
port an increase OF wages averaging
1924 per cent and affecting 11,490
employees Many other employers in
creased the wages of the employees
but failed to report the per cent.
Commissioner Brigham says that
these figures indicate that the labor
ing people had much more steady
employment the past year than in
any previous year which the returns
cover
II will be noticed that the rate of
average wage reported by the en-
ployers is less than that given by the
individual workmen. The reason for
this is that the employers reports
cover the wages paid to all classes
of workmen, including men. women
and children. Separating these class
es of workmen in the reports for 1902
IL Will Dt lOuuu LHdI the men TeCtlNtu
a nominal wage of $5O1.91. the wom-
en- $241.40 and the children $122.S5.
This would indicate that the average
annual wages Of men employed in
manufacturing, commercial and me-
chanical trades in Iowa during the
year 1902 was somewhere between
$501 and $662 as reported by the in
dividuals.
There is one question which the
labor commissioners report will bring
to the attention of the people. which
certainly demands careful considera-
ton. II is the question Of child labor
The reports OF 16.O27 employers show
that last year there were employed
by them $3.50 children under the age
OF sixteen. in mechanical. manufacture
ing and commercial pursuits. There
are probably 1900 employers who did
not report. so that 1t is probably safe
to estimate that there are over 5000
children employed in these various
institutions in the state. Taking the
employers reporting. one child is en-
pl0yej to every twenty-five adults. At
the time OF the last census this ratio
