When Mr., Mckinley was first elected

Ever Before in the History of the
Country.
The report Of the State Statistician
Tor 1904, which has just gone to the
| printer, shows that labor conditions in
Indiana are better today than ever
| before in the history of the state. The
report of the Indiana State Labor
Commission, which has just gone to
the Governor, shows that there have
been fewer strikes AID lockouts in
Indiana during the past year than
ever before. The figures of the State
Statistician relative to the mining in.
dustry are of special interest.
The two following tables contained
In the report of the State Statistician
were prepared from information OBJ
tanned direct from the mine workers
VI these 4,238, representing 1OS mines
IN Ii counties, were questioned in
1902, and 1886, representing 125
mines, in 1903.
IL Will readily be seen that the in
formation thus obtained gives a very
Ialr report Of the conditions of labor
In the coal mining industry. The in
FORMATION is valuable as representing
the wages earned, the hours and DAYS
OF work, and the social condition of
the laborers. The tables cover every
pranch of labor in connection with
coal mining. There has been a very
marked Improvement in every direc-
ZION during the two years covered bv
thls report. There was an improve
ment in 1902 over 1861, and the i'm
provement during 1903 is very marked.
Average Daily Earnings.
In 1902 the average daily earnings
ranged from $1.OO paid to trappers to
$500 for machine men. In 1908 the
average ranged from $1.13 to TRAINERS
20 1926 to foremen.
In 1872 the average for miners was
ZAP, and in 1903, S274. In 1902 the
lverage daily earnings of miners
'anged from $3.50 in Perry to 1926 in
Greene
All wages were lower in Perry coun.
y than in the other coal sections. In
9o3 there was general advance In
he average earnings In this connec.
ION the following summary will be
ound convenient to the student of
verage daily pay of each class of
aiming statistics, giving as it does the
nine workers for the years 1902 and
90o, and the increase and decrease.

Social Conditions,

There has also been a marked i'm.
provement in the social condition of
mine laborers. Of those reporting in
19o2, S'4 carried life insurance tho
average being $355.4s, and the total
$346,245. In 1903, 2.0O2 carried insnr.

In 1902, 1.191 had savings. the ave--

average being $132.25 and the .tot.1
$54s, go. The increase in the AVERAGE
savings is very marked. it being
little more than so per cent.
In 1902 the lowest average savfn,s
