WAGES GOlFAR II
IN new JERSEY
Buying Power DeClaredtO Exceed
Last Year In This and
Other States.

The purchasing power of the wage
earner's daily pay in the state Of
New Jersey is not only greater than
last year, but is greater by about
twenty per cent. than the same
amount of money in the hands of the
wage earners of New York city and
the manufacturing towns Of the mid
die west and New England, accord
ing to figures recently compiled by
the boards of trade in several of the
larger cities of northern New Jersey
supplemented by the calculation now
about completed by the Bureau OF
Statistics at Trenton. The latter cal
culation shows that while the prices
of food have risen steadily for sew
eral years, notably during the last
year, wages have increased some
what in excess of the increase in the
cost of living. The State Bureau OF
Statistics has compiled each year a
table of the price of table supplies
since 1898. The purpose of this cal
culation has been TO show by compar-
ison with the current rate of wages
for labor what pIoportionate part Of
a wage earner's income is spent for
the absolute necessities of life. The
comparisons ear by year show that
the cost of table supplies has in
creased steadily, but these tables
when compared to tables showing
rents for houses of the class usually
occupied by wage earners demon
strates ~conclusively that rents have
not increased at an equal rate with
supplies, and owing to the increases
in wages exceeding the increase In
cost of supplies, the condition of the
labor man in Jersey has relatively
improved year by year.
In other localities rents and other
expenses have increased more than
wages, SO that in these places the la.
boring man is not so well offactually
as he is in New Jersey, even though
he may be receiving nominally as
high wages.
In speaking of this subject yester-
day a manufacturer owning plants In
Paterson and Newark said: I'm view
of the superior class of mill opera
tives and expert mechanics employed
in New Jersey, it seems to me that
the facts shown by these tables
should greatly benefit this state be-
cause they show not only that rela-
lively higher wages are paid for
hours no longer than those of other
states, but that the actual purchasing
power of the dollar is greater. The
tables for the last eight years show
an increase annually in the margin
between the actual earnings of the
factory laborer and the amount nee
essary for the sustenance of himself
and his family. Few states, / be-
lieve, can show as great an increase
in this surplus of money handled by
rents will rise as rapidly in our man
ufacturing towns and their suburbs
as they do In larger cities. The build
ing of wage earners' homes is going
on at such a rapid rate and the In
creas in the number of wage earn
GERS continues at such a rapid rate
and the increase in the number of
wage earners continues at such a
rate that | believe rents will remain
practically stationary for some time"

JERSEY CITY, July 26:-The

ed to confer with the contractors
erecting the e county courthouse
and inform them of the dropping of
the bod and their willingness to en-
ter into an agreemnt to use the bar
row.
The strike for the bod was started
at the courthouse. The contractors,
who are limited in time in complet-

was too slow and the more expedi-
tious w~heelbarrow must be used. The
laborers objected and the contractors

members of the funeral party, number
ing twenty.
The funeral cortege proceeded from
the Union station to lakewood, where
a large number of persons had gather
ed at the Sage family lot. After a
brief service read by Rev. DR.. Andrew
Hageman of New York the body was
committed to the ghoul proof vault of
chilled steel ready for its reception.
The grave is beside that of Mr.. Sage's
first wife. The words which are to be

MAYOR DEFIES
INJUNCTION.
Mayor Johnson, Of Cleveland
Orders Traction Rails Torn Up
Accuses Company Of Neglect.

CLEVELAND, o., July Pa war
was begun on the Cleveland Electric
Railway company here when 5OO men
began tearing up the tracks OF the
company in Fulton street.
Mayor Johnson, who is credited with
being largely interested in the Munic-
ipal Traction company, was PERSONAL
ly on the ground, as was also Chief of
Police Kohler and a large number of
officers. Within a short time more
than a quarter of a mile of track had
been torn up. Officials of :ne Cleve-
land Electric Railway company said
they would apply for an injunction at
once.
Mayor Johnson said the action was
taken because the Cleveland Electric
Railway company refused or neglected
to comply with a council resolution re-
guiring it to take up its tracks in Full
ton street and remove them to the
east side of the street.
The mayor stated that the tracks were
being removed by the city employees
under the supervision of the board of
public service and not by the Municipal
Traction company.
Judge Ford in common pleas court
granted an injunction restraining the
city and the Municipal Traction COM
pany from further interference with
the tracks.
The injunction was served upon
Mayor Johnson personally as he was
overseeing the work of tearing up the
tracks. He acknowledged the service
and put the document in his pocket,
but told the men to proceed with their
work and ignore the courts order.
Mayor Johnson said he would go to
Jail before he would obey the courts
order.
Later papers were served on Mayor
johnson citing him to appear in com
mon pleas court today to show cause
why he should not be punished for con
tempt for violating a court injunction.

NEW YORK, July 26.-A story of
Ill treatment by Harry Thaw of Eve
Ign Nesbit in Paris, given by a mas
seuse, Anna Crane, to Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Turnbull, has caused

Miss Crane says that she was sent
by Stanford White to Paris In 1904

Evelyn Nesbit was locked up in a
room in fear of her life while he kept
company with other women in the
French capital, she declares.
Miss Crane, who has known Evelyn
Nesbit for years and used to call her
Florence, says that White was very
kind to her, but that her troubles be-
gan as soon as she met Thaw.
when l reached Paris" declares
Miss Crane, there had been a dread
iul row between Thaw and Miss Mes
bit. Florence begged me not to leave
her, saying. Harry will kill me- He
gave her the very worst of treatment
and was a perfect monster. l be-
| lieve him to be a lunatic and so did
Florence. She showed me the bruises
on her arms, and l saw him try to
choke her. He left the marks OF MS
