HARVEST WAGES.
Separator Tenders VIII Receive 81,
Drivers So and Other Laborers in
prOnnPfiOn.

Drivers 50 and other LabOrerS III
Proportion.
Prices for harvest labor in Umatilla
county will be higher this year per-
haps than ever before. Good crops
and prosperous times are giving an
upward tendency to the labor market
and already numbers of harvest men
are arriving expecting to find en-
ployment in taking care of Umatilla' S
4,5OO,00O bushel wheat crop.
The wages paid this season, ac-
cording to a canvass of the prominent
combined harvester men and thresh-
ing machine men, will be about as
follows: Separator tenders, 81 to $5
per day; combined harvester drivers,
SO to $3.50 per day; sack sewers SO
to $3.50, and common labor, $3.50 and
So per day. Header drivers will re-
ceive SO per day, header wagon driv-
ers $50 and leaders $3.50 per day.
These prices are all somewhat in
advance of those formerly paid ex-
cepting the common labor, which is
quoted at $1.50 in some instances
There will be very few $1.50 jobs in
the harvest fields, however, most OF
them running from SO up.
From the prospects now help will
be plentiful in this county, many idle
men now being in the county awaiting
the commencement of harvest.

was filled, yesterday, are positively de-
MED.
The manufacturers were again i'm ses-

dispute. 1t is practically certain that
the wages of unskilled labor which are
rather low. will be materially raised,
thus satisfying large mas of ignorant
men who are easily Influenced by their
leaders. Concessions of strike pay al
so will be made, the point to be decid-
ed being the extent of this allowanc.
