The work on the tenth story was
finished last week, and the concrete roof
is now being put on: There has been
no accident, altho there were thirteen
men on the job, a proverbially unlucky
number. The men, as the pictures show,
work on flimsy little scaffolds. A sin
gle misstep would send them to a hor-
rible death, yet they work at their dan
gerouss trade with perfect unconcern!
Not that they do not realize their dan
ger, for they do. Their trade is rec
ognized as the most perilous Of voca-
tions. They receive on an average $24
week for ordinary working time, and
they never lack apprentices and the age
limit does not bar men who are so years
old, sometimes
In the larger cities where men work
on skyscrapers so often ESQ feet from
the ground, they say that the average
fatalities is generally two to each struc
ture erected. In spite Of the number Of
accidents few Of the men carry accident
policies. For that matter, the insur
ance companies do not solicit such risks
very assiduously. The premium charge
is $50 year which the men, as q rule
consider too much.
One popularity Of the accidents Ii
that it is seldom that the men will fal

stories rarely happens. They general,
