WAGES HAVE GONE UP.
Labor Bureau Report Says Food Prices
Have Not Kept Pace.

Washington, Aug ia report was
issued by the bureau of labor today for
an investiga ton into wages and hour S
of labor in 1905. in the principal manu-
featuring and mechanical industries of
the United States. The report gives the
average wages and hours Of labor and
the number of employees. in identical
establishments in both 1904 and 1905.
While the figures presented are not ex-
haustive for the United States the re-
port says:
Tt Is believed they are fairly repre-
sentative of the industries Investigated. .
Continuing, the report says:
The result of this investigation shows
that in 1905 the average wages per hour
in the principal manufacturing and me-
chanical industries of the country were
1.6 per cent higher than in 1904; that
the average hours of labor per week re-
mained the same as in 1904, and that So
per cent more persons were employed In
the Establishments investigated As
there was no reduction in the average
hours of labor per week. the average
weekly earnings per employe were 16
per cent higher than in 1904. AS there
was an increase in the number of en-
pioyes as well as in the weekly earn
ings. per enploye, there was a consider
able increase in the weekly earnings of
all employees, or in other words, in the
amount Of weekly pay roll. This In
crease was per cent in the establish
ments Investigated.
When the figures of this article re-
lating to wages and hours of labor and
those of the succeeding article relating
to retail prices of food are brought to-
gether, it is seen that the retail prices
of food, due weight be given to the
quality and cost of the different com
nnodities consumed, were 0.8 per cent
higher in 1905 than in 1904. As the aver
age wages per hour increased more than
the retail prices of food the purchasing
power of wages increased. In 1905, the
purchasing power of both hourly and
weekly wages was one per cent higher
than in 1904; or, expressed in other
words an hours wages in 1905 would
purchase 1 per cent more food than an
hours wages in 1904
