the northern counties in compact
such as obtains in the southeast. Prac-
tically two fifth of voting strength Of

STEADY WORK A FACTOR


The statistical result of the elaborate
Investigation which has ben conducted
by Carroll d. Wright United States
commissioner Of labor statistics show
ing that during the last six or eight
wears the advance of wages has been
slightly greater than the advance OF
cost OF living to the average working
man. IL of course valuable. The In
xestieation did not undertake to cover
the whole field of facts pertaining to
the relative condition Of the working
man.
IA a matter of common sense there
are other elements Of far greater I'M
portance than the mere amount OF
wages. either absolute or relative to
cost Of living. One Of the most i'm
portant OF these. If not by all odds the
most important. Is steady employment.
The intelligent and ambitious working
man prefers steady employment on a
lower wage scale to Intermittent and
uncertain employment on higher
wage scale, Assurance of work Is the
vital thing. Savings. provision for the
family, calculations for the future. con-
.tentment of mind. depend upon it.
In this vital point, the condition OF
the average working man today and for
giive or six years presents only contrast
with the period Of Industrial depression
spreceding 1897. The record of the wage
scales then is deceptive. because the
actual earning capacity of the average
working man then was far below what
tire wage scales. considered by them
selves, indicate. More men were out
.sof employment: the fortunate few who
worked had shorter hours and fewer
days; the pressure was great to divide
4 employment with men out Of work;
men who could not get employment had

their earnings. These and many sim
liar but important facts do not appear
In Commissioner Wright's showing. II
had to do with another point. the sim.
.ple matter of record wage earnings and
cost Of living.
TO any It may seem paradoxical. ye'
nothing is more certain. that there !:
q point at which the wage Garner, more
than any other man or class of men. Il

wages. That point Is reached when
