BUILDERS GET BIG WAGES
Nsohalics Of Tbs sort Scaros and Pay
High in Omaha
BHcKLAYtHs ARE The ToP-NOTCHtHs
JOurneymen Draw Sixty-Two and
Half Cents and FOremcn
Seventy-Ffve Cents for
one Hours work.

Men employed in the building trades in
Omaha are all busy and they will have
all the work they can do this fall and
winter except when freezing weather pre-
vents. In fact the demand for men in
most lines is greater than the supply and
contractors are frequently much inconven-
fenced by delay on this account
The condition is the same all over the
country II it were otherwise Omaha
would be overrun with bricklayers and car
penters, for wages here arc generally
higher than in most Of the cities of the
Missouri ana Mississippi valleys and con-
siderably higher than in eastern cities
Only in some of the rapidly growing west
ern cities, such us Butte. Seattle Tacoma
and some OF the California towns are
wages very much b, tier than in Omaha
and in these places the cost of living is
said to be enough higher to balance the
difference.
The ordinary clerk or bookkeeper, CLAN
cling at the schedule of wages paid skilled
labor, feels sick at heart and wonders what
good his brains do him anyway. While he
works ten to twelve hours day and
draws 500 a week. the good brickayer or
plumber puts in but eight hours a day
and draws $50 each Saturday night. The
hod carrier works eight hours a day and
draws three-fourths as much as the poor
clerk
Bricklaying in Omaha is strictly union
work and the regulation wage Is 62ik cents
an hour. The foremen get 20 cents This
is considerably more than bricklayers re-
ceived three or four years ago Carpenters
are paid according to their ability and
speed, from 80 TO 45 cents an hour. and
the foremen get 50 to 50 cents. They work
in open shop.
stone MasOns and Cutters.
Stone masons paid 621s cents and
stone cutters so cents. The scarcity OF
labor in this line, in addition TO the
scarcity OF stone, was one of the causes
of so much delay in the construction of big
buildings in Omaha this summer. Plasterers
get So cents an hour; laborers and hod car
riers, % to 80 cents; fathers, so cents; sheet
metal workers, 40 cents: structural and
ornamental iron settlers, 10 cents; tile set
ters, 30 cents; plumbers, steam filters and
gas filters. from 561s cents an hour to as
high as $50 a week; painters. 491a cents an
hour.
In general, these wages have been
gradually rising in the last few years and
the average wage is several cents an hour
higher than It was three years ago and
even very noticeably higher than a year
and a half ago.
Any man working in the building trades
can save enough in few years to build
comfortable home and have money left
over for investment. One Of the local con-
tractors likes to tell OF a brickayer in his
employ. This man has. worked steadily for
several years and AT the same time has
been economical lie is now building
5000 home. handsome house, entirely
modern and finished In hard wood
