German Iron WORKERS.

Consul George Nicholas lift Of Nu-
remberg reports as follows concerning
the prevailing wages in the South
German iron and steel industry in
1908:
association tBerufsgenossenschaf
which comprises 1898 concerns. en-
ploying a10.SSS workmen. reports the
average yearly earnings of fully en-
ployed journeyman workman during
the year 1908 at s2SS94 as compared
with S2S0.1S in 1907, an increase of
1881 for the year Not counting Sun
days and dedu>ting 20 days for holt
days. it will thus be seen that the av-
erage daily wages of the journeymen
workmen in the South German iron
and steel industries was less than 81
cents
while even this was a slight in
crease for the workman lucky enough
to have steady employment, there was.
however. during the year less en-
ployment to be had than in 1907. The
number of hours of actual labor per
formed in these concerns in 1907 was
5s2, $50. 600 and for 1905 this dropped
to 5s1 .160. 900 hours. a decrease of
1880. 900 hours. or. at eight hours per
day. total of 2Ss.75O days less
Because of this lesser opportunity
to work. the annual earnings of the
| individual workmen were. in many
| cases. undoubtedly considerably small
er, The number of journeymen work
men employed in 1908 was 1871. 054. as
compared with 1877 .64S in 1907. but the
| advance in wages was enough to
| make the total wages paid slightly
higher. the actual figures being $54.-
SO1 $40 for 1908 and S54,s4S. $50 for
1907 The number of employees in
sured Including masters, journeymen
and apprenticesl was 210,6SS for 1905.
as compared with 21O,246 for 1907"

Bricklayers Report.


William DobsoN. secretary of the
Bricklayers and Masons' International
union. has finished his report for the
six months ending June 80. and copies
OF the report have been sent to the
various local unions throughout the
country. In regard to the report Mr..
DobSon says. In submitting the
ssmi-annual returns of subordinate
unions for the term ending June 80.
1909, We find much that is gratifying.
for, Notwithstanding the continuous
efforts that are being made through
out many parts of our jurisdiction to
establish the non-union shop, our or
sanization as a whole remains intact

our members are concerned. are much

the future holds much that is good in

which was one of the most afflicted
cities during the recent great finan-
cial panic. has become the scene of
great activity in the building indus
try, and at the time of writing nearly
all of our members are employed And
the most pleasing feature of this sud-
den improvement in our affairs gen.
orally is the indication that the pres
ent activity will continue for an in
definite period
The middle west is very satisfac-
tory. and much improvement is shown
in the southland. In the far west.
while no boom is on. our members
generally are being employed. The
southwest. however. is where the
great wave pr prosperity has struck
us as never before in the history of
our organization. In that section of
the country the demand for our labor
has been unusually great and the
wages correspondingly high. Condi-
tons in the northwest, to say the
least. are on a par with former
years" Mr.. DobSon explains, how

The report shows that the total
membership in good standing was Co.

by the way. failed to send in their re-
ports. and so this Information is not
altogether complete. The report
further shows that the total number
of local unions was gas.
In regard to finances, the report
says that the financial reports of sub
ordinate unions show that about ST.

$500 of which was donated to unions
of other trades, The sum of $4S.5O0
was paid out for beneficial purposes,
the amount being about $4,000 less
than for the corresponding term OF
the preceding year. The amounts in
the treasnries of subordinate unions

Child Labor in England.

A committee of the British board of
education has Learned that 170. 600
children between the ages of IL and
IA have left school and are not re
cesving any kind of further instruc-
ton, and that out of a total of ,, 000,-
coo children not yet IL years old. only
one in four is striving after additional
educational equipment, The natural
result is that through lack of tech
meal training countless thousands fail
to acquire that knowledge of handi-
craft which would enable them to
rise to higher levels in skilled en-
ployment, while the absence of
physical training eventuates in i'm
paired bodily powers and consequent
poverty of self-control Nor is that
the worst aspect of the situation

Actors Pay in Germany.

The campaign of the German actors
in favor of the new theater laws which
are under consideration In the Ger
man reiehstag has caused much pub
lie discussion as to the profession and
the income which it yields One sta
tistical article which is being extern
siyely circulated says that 45 per cent.
of Germany's actors receive from 720
to 1000 marks a year: IS per cent.
2.400 marks: 20 per cent, from 2,400
to 5000 marks, and only ten per cent
have an income of over 5000 marks q
year. The worst of it all. the actors
say, is that they cannot be employed
for a whole year, even at those fig
ures. That the theater year only
lasts about nine months is no fault
of ours. nor do we blame the man
ayers. but that 5000 marks q year
(about $3.50 is looked upon as good
pay for an actor for q years services
is proof that we should have an or
ganization." says one of the aggrieved

$s2o for Beginners

As a vocation for women and as q
stepping stone for young men there
is nothing equal to stenography. The
principal of the Oldest shorthand
school in the United States, Mr..
Hickox, says that he cannot supply

of from six to nine months time and

Beach Busy Build
ing Brick Blocks

The cheapest thing Beach ever
had was the recent fire. AL
though the individual losses were
severe, the town has and is pros
pering because of that confagra-
tion as it never did before. Our
people learned right then and
there that cheap wooden construc-
tion of buildings is not the proper
thing-that progressive town
must be built along progressive
lines.
They have grasped the idea in
fine shape, and just now are do
ing what Chicago and other cities
did after being burned out, putting
up fire proof business blocks, hand
some in design and Of the very
best materials.
The handsome BARLEY block,
just completed, the Lowell, Haigh
and Miller blocks, now in course of
construction, go long ways to-
ward improving the appearance
of the business district-but these
are not all.
Already at least four more
blocks are contemplating be
erected in the early spring, and
all of them are to be like those
now in course of construction
modern and up-to-date in every
particular and detail.
Chief of these will be the elegant
new European hotel and store
building at the corner of First
avenue and Hunter street, to be
put up in the spring by DR.. j. w.
Snow. Construction work on this
building will be commenced early
in the spring and there will be no
halt until the caravansary is ready
for occupancy. 1t will be the
largest brick structure in Beach,
being 5Ox140 feet, two stories.
and containing, besides the hotel
rooms, a cafe, stores and, accord
ing to Mr.. Snow, corner Office
suitable for bank.

Z c. WALTON

john ID. WAKEFIELD. representing
the Cincinnati Enquirer as political
correspondent for Kentucky, selects
Judge M. c. Sauhey, of Stanford, as
the most formidable candidate the
Democrats can run for Governor in
1911. Mr.. Wakefield is one of the
most astute students Of political
economy in the South and such decision
coming from him is worthy Of more
than passing consideration. No man in
the State is more fully acquainted with
the short comings Of the Democrats in
recent campaigns than Mr.. Wakefield
and no one more thoroughly realizes
that the time has arrived when it be-
hooves the Democrats to name men OF
great ability and untarnished integrity
for high positions. Judge Saufey is a
living exponent Of those great principles
upon which good government are
founded. He is an orator with no
superiors and few equals and man
OF large experience, fitting him admir-
ably for the discharge of the momen-
tour duties Of the chief executive. II
the Democrats will nominate men
Of Judge Sauhey's calibre they need
have no fear at the polls. The Advo-
cate stands for such men first, last
and all the time. Advocate.
