WHAT ORGANIZED
LABOR|NC men HAVE
SECURED IN STATE.
Figures Showing the Wonderful
Growth of Organization and
Higher Wage Scale.

Des Noines, Ia, Oct. 22-State Labor
Commissioner Brigham's report, which
Is about ready for the press, shows
that with reference to about $4,000
organized laboring men in Iowa the
minimum scale of wages paid union
men has Increased S.sl per cent during
the last two years over the year 1906,
and the wages of the maximum scale
have increased 1854 per cent. The max
lmum refers to the highest wages paid
to the workers in the various trades
unions and the minimum to the lowest,
The minimum therefore. has Increased
more rapidly than the maximum,
showing that the wage scale of tho
state is becoming more equalized.
The startling feature of the report.
however. is the decrease in the number
of strikes. During the two year period
Just passed there were only 20 strikes
reported in all branches Of organized
labor. and in but one instance was
there more than one strike in any ona
union, during the period Compared
with the six year period from 1894 to
1900. when there We're S31 strikes
among organized laborers in Iowa. or
an average of about l2S year, the fig
peaceful condition in Iowa organized
union labor circles. While the average
Tor each Of the six years prior to 1900
was 12S, the average of each of the
laSt Two years was only 141a.
The lesson of these figures Is the
wonderful growth of organized labor
in the state. With their ranks more
firmly welded together and more po-
tent for better wages and better condi-
tons, organized labor has been able
to accomplish it's purposes peacefully.
where formerly the Industrial world
was continually rent with dissensions.
effecting every section.
1t is not only the figures which show
the chaotic condition OF union labor in
the Cos. The preface to the Iowa labor
report for 1897 says During the ex-
tremely hard times of the past few
years. the labor organizations through
out the state suffered to very great
extent, both from numerical and
financial standpoint. Some found 1t
necessary to absolutely disband, others
to curtail expenses in various ways and
to amend their laws to the existing
conditions" The returning prosperity
showed, however, better things in sight
and renewed determination on the
part of organized labor to profit by the
sufferings of tho hard times years and
guide their steps accordingly.
