In the combined building trades, in
New York, containing about one-third
of all the organized workingmen in
the State, there have been fewer
changes in the character of the mem
bership and average earnings have in
creased from $170 in the first quarter
of 1900 and $iS2 in 1909 to $l9S in 1908.
In the next largest group of trades,
the transport industries, the average
increase was Sill, and in the combined
clothing and textile trades it was 80.
There were small decreases in the iron
and steel, printing, food, liquor and
i tobacco trades, etc. In all industries
72.7 per cent of the male wage work
ers earned at least $3.50 in the first
three months of the present year, as
compared with 69.3 per cent a year
ago and 64. 8 per cent in 1900.
At the end of the quarter, March
I31) the proportion of trade union
members idle was 12.l per cent, as
compared with 1875 per cent in 1902,
which was the best record hitherto.
The records of the Bureau of Media
tion and Arbitration show that of 81
disputes in the first quarter of the
year, involving 1000 workers and
causing the loss of 278,000, working
days, the most important dispute was
that begun by 800 block cutters in the
Gloversville glove factories, which
rendered 1900 employees idle and caus-
ed the loss of ITO, 900 days work.

FRENCH VOTE is DECISIVE
Existence of Religions Teaching Or
ders Must Terminate at
once.

PARIS. May 19.-The vote in the Cham
ber Of Deputies yesterday gives definite
form to the present policy Of the govern
ment to terminate the existence OF the
religious teaching orders and to substitute
a system Of governmental schools.
The principle OF this change was formu-
lated under the premiership Of n. Wal
=. Rousseau, but it's actual enforcement
~ the present Combes ministry.
ei yesterday is very brief
and nee terms simply refusing
authorizatioi ach to all the religious
teaching orders. The effect Of this is to
place the orders outside the pale OF the
law and their further existence is through
sufferance.
There remains to be determined the
time the orders will be allowed to wind
up their affairs and terminate their work.
Many of the orders. anticipating the cham
Der vote Of yesterday. have already COM
pleted their plans to retire from the field.
1t is expected that u few months will al
most sufice to execute the changes.
Numerous incidental questions are in
volved in the transfercnce Of the pupils
and the effect on the extensive properties
and notices Of several interpretations have
been given, with the view of securing
delay permitting an adjustment Of the new
conditions.
The statements Of NJ. Combes and other
ministerialists, however. indicate the
prompt carrying out Of the premier S
policy.
An analysis Of the vote shows that the
ministry retained an ample majority for
all practical purposes, although there was
some falling off from the usual ministerial
strength, twenty-fv ministerialists sep
arating themselves from the majority, and
the others not voting.
On the other hand, the ministerialist
strength was augmented by scattering
votes from the nationalists, while practi-
cally the full strength of the socialists
radicals and union democrats supported
the ministry.
The vote shows that Notwithstanding all
defections, the ministry commands more
than sufficient strength to put its policy
in execution.
