LABOR LEADERS, PAY.
Said That John Mitchell Gets $4,000
Per Year-Other Salaries.

New York, April 2.-The Commercial
BAYS:
isn't it high time for John Mitchell
TO strike for higher pay? The United
Mine Workers of America, for which
organization he acts as president, gives
him a salary of only $4,000 a year. Let
us see what some of the other chief
executives Of organized labor are gath
ering in as salaries:
Grand Chief Engineer P. M. Arthur
of the Brotherhood Of Locomotive En-
eiueers gets $1,000 a year; Grand Mas
ter John Hallihan of the Brotherhood
of Firemen. $1,000; Grand Master p. H.
Morrisey of the brotherhood of Train
men, $4,000: =. = Clark Of the Order
of Railroad Conductors, $1,000; Samuel
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor, SO 900. The secretaries of these
labor presidents receive from S. 500 to
50 500 a year each: chief clerks, 1000,
and the editors 81, 800. Simon Burns of
the Window Glass workers receives So
600, and Dennis Hays of the Bottlemak-
ers much more than Mitchell.
None of these salaries could be call
ed princely,' or even high The rail-
road mems organizations pay their
leaders more literally than any of the
other natiopal unions do. Tt viii be
noted too, by the above imperfect list
but the same holds true Throughout
that these labor leaders salaries are
not graded in conformity with the rela-
tive size of the various organizations;
perhaps not according to the relative
pay of the members or to the amount
of work exacted. On the first or the
last of these bases President Mitchell
could lay claim to a salary much high
er than Chief Arthur's. for instance. In
the latter's case, however, 1T is quite
generally conceded that he has led his
forces more wisely than any of the
other presidents He has generally dis
couraged strikes, but has always man
aged to hold the highest respect of the
engineers as we'll as Of their employers.
ne apparently earns his money-and
more, too.
IF Mitchell ever expects a raise, he
should take pattern from Arthur and
those other leaders whose policy is al
ways peace
