COUNTY TICKET.
The Truth Out ct Last,

A boom.shell dropped last week by
the Republican ex.Director OF the
Census, has created the greatest con-
sternation, conflicting as it does so
palpably with the cooked-up figures OF
Carroll d. Wright, the Commissioner
OF Labor at Washington. The Inter
national Mercantile Agency. which is
headed by ex-Director Merriam reports
that the wages of more than 100000
industrial employees were reduced not
less than 10 per cent. in 1908, and that
1000 others suffered like reduction
in the early portion OF 1894.
In addition to all OF this, hundreds
of mills employing hundreds Of thous.
ands OF men closed down entirely in
1903; and in Allegheny county, Penn.
sylvania, alone, there are now over TO-.
GOO idle men on account of closed
mills.
Notwithstanding the claim of I'm.
paralleled prosperity-a perfect sun
burst in INTERPRETATIONS clouds have
obscured the horizon, and although
an advance of IL per cent. in wages
has been announced no reliable figures
have been shown to substantiate this
claim. There appear to be very good
reasons for this failure to submit fig
ures. Principal among them is the
all-sufficient one that the only figures
obtainable show that there have been
reductions in wages averaging from 10
to Is per cent, and this during the
years 1908 and 1904 when the Repub-
lican party was in control of every
branch Of the national government.
Now comes Merriam with his report,
which shows there was reduction in
these years Of over 10 per cent. in
wages of textile workers in Philadel.
phia 20 the number of 100000. Tack
makers suffered reduction of 20 per
cent. Furnace operators had their
wages reduced on an average of about
% per cent. Steel workers had their
incomes cut about 10 per cent, as was
also the case with iron workers. Glass
workers suffered cut of 20 per cent.
In many OF the cotton and silk
mills 10 per cent. reductions in wages
were accepted; and the plate mill
workers of McKeesport, Pennsylvania,
were assessed 30 per cent. Corrugated
iron workers were forced to give up 20
per cent. OF their earnings. Bridge
builders had their wages reduced 10
per cent. Railroad operatives on
many of the large systems sustained a
cut in wages of about Is cents per day,
and the rule of reduction appears to
have been applied to almost every
branch of trade, affecting q great
many thousand employees.
