CRISIS FOR WORKERS

WAVE FOR RET RENCHMENT
It Follows the Granting of Abnor.
NAL Pay to the unskiled---A
Million Men to be ldle-Bia Con-
Germs Reduce Forces and Greater
Cuts in Prospect.

Chicago. Oct. Organized labor
is facing the greatest wage crisis since
the pane of 1898, If the forecast OF
its leaders is correct. And the bur.
den of the struggle to maintain the
present high standard of pay is eN'
pected to fall on the unskillod men
whose wages are held to have been
advanced far out OF proportion to the
value of their services.
Indications of retrenchment are
seen on every hand, The railroads
throughout the country have started
to lay off men, the mine operators are
curtailing expenses, and factories are
employing reduced forces An big EN-
ploying concerns are refusing to
grant any further increases in pay.
Tho labor leaders generally admit
alarm those who were in Chicago at
tho convention OF the National Civic
federation being free in their eX.
pressions.
The tendency toward retrenchment
is attributed to the abnormal in.
unskilled workmen. While expert
mechanics, such as the machinists
and the brass workers, have been able
TO advance their pay only 10 per cent,
their helpers are receiving 20 or 30
per cent more pay than four years
ago, The same condition prevails In
other uades.
1t mas been estimated that before
the close of the year the big employ
ing concerns Of the country will have
discharged nearly 100000 men, most
OF them laborers and general utility
workers. or this number the railroads
are expected to drop from employment
100000 men, the mine operators So
900, the machine shops and iron, steel
and tin plants 250,000, and the build
ing trades more than 10000.
In the case Of the railroads repair
and construction work will be brought
as near 10 a standstill as II Is prac,
ticable to bring IL.
