Purchasers often wonder said Her
mann G. Selig, an importer Of New York,
who is at the Arlington, and who has Just
returned from tour Of Germany, how
it is that Germany can pay duties and
sell things so cheaply. It's easily enough
explained. At some kinds Of work a man,
his wife and I'VE children. working ten to
sixteen hours q day, can average 50 cents
a day wages In many classes OF work
the pay is from half a cent 10 a cent an
hour. according to the skill Of the worker.
The beautiful toys that the Germans send
abroad ar Christmas time are made by
men and women who Go not average
three-q quarters OF a cent an hour. The
beautiful feather Easter novelties, the
paper novelties, are made by the same
def hands that toll for a price that would
be scorned by a newsboy for ten minutes
work. These figures apply only TO adults.
The children cannot earn nearly as large
sums. One family Of seven earns AZ cents
a day. another with eight members ag-
gTegates 50 cents.
In Thuringia." continued Mr.. Selig,
the workmen making toy animals for
ninety-two pieces receive about ! cent
an hour. For sixty wooden soldiers. on
which an adult and three children work
thirty hours, z7la cents is paid. CoIored
masks bring Z cent IN hour. and 2ls
cents an hour is the age for the whole
family. The makers Of doll parts are
no better off. No better wages are paid
for musical Instruments.
THE number Of children employed in
Germany is estimated al $4,000. They
are found in all industries. Even chill
dren only three years old are employed
in home work. The reasons for the en-
ployment Of children is twofold. IN the
first place, the children furnish cheap
labor, and, second, the parents are de
pendent on their assistance. OF course.
much OF their work is purely mechanical.
The thousands who have visited Ober-
ammeTgau and have taken away with
them artistically carved images ana
crosses viii be interested to learn that
these are produced at low wages. The
average wages of the carvers in Oberam-
mersau range from So to 20 cents a day.
The work begins at o'clock and con-
unues until 8 to 10 in the evening"

Officers Of Local Musicians Union
Present Side of Controversy.

A. ]. Gageby, president. and A. G.
Dickson, secretary OF Local Union, No.
176, American Federation OF Musicians,
has addressed a communication to the
Times Republican, setting forth the
bands side of the controversy that
arose during the Eks' parade last
week, when the band withdrew from
the parade by reason of the presence OF
nom union bands.
The officers of the union go back to
a year ago, at the Dubuque convention,
when the Waterloo Elks brought with
them the Cedar Falls band, claiming as
they did this year that they were UNI
able to get a union band from their
own city. The union musicians of Wa
terloo protested to the Dubuque union,
claiming that they could have furnish
ed twenty-five men, which was the
average size of the bands furnished by
other delegations. The result was, so
the musicians claim, the Dubuque Elks
withdrew the Cedar Falls band from
the parade, and the parade then went
off without a hitch.
Coming down TO the trouble here the
local musicians say: a letter was re-
ceived on Aug. 16 from f. NJ. LaBane,
secretary OF the Waterloo union must
