President Taft.
AS to the differences In cost OF

sets forth that in nearly ssary wocl+
en- product from the dirty fleece UP
to the finished worsted cIotl, It
costs much more to produce wool
and WOODEN goods in America thau

1t costs ninteen cents to raisa
pound of wool In Ohio and III Aus
tralia considerable less than four
cents. These differences contfnue
throughout the wooden Industry
While American labor Is much high
er paid than 10 Europe, the board
finds that it Ia not as efficient as
that in European mills.
About one dollar OF every four
paid to the retailer OF mems d cloth
ing goes To the manufacturers of tho
cloth. A suit retailing for $23 iH
sold at wholesale BY the manufac-
turer for 1880 Il costs him

P. S. C. RAISE
TROLLEY MEN
Announce Third Voluntary
Increase Of Wages Within
the Last Two Years.
START NEW SCALE Jan. /
Benefits Every Platform Man
nCompany's Employ Means
sl25, 900 a Year.

A Christmas announcement Of an
increase In wages was made to the
motormen and conductors of Public
Service Railway today. The new
scale will go into effect January /
and will benefit every platform man
in the company's employ. Hereafter
new employees and those who have
been working less than one year
will receive twenty-three cents per
hour; for those employed more than
one year and less than two years the
pay will be twenty-four cents per
hour and all who have been in the
company's service more than two
years will receive twenty-five cents
an hour. The new scale of wages
will mean an additional outlay to
the company OF about sI25,000 per
year.
mis- Is the third increase in wages
for motormen and conductors volun-
tarfly made by Public Service within
two years. In December, 1909, the
first year men were receiving twenty
cents an hour. A continuous service
of five years was necessary before
this rate was raised to twenty-five
cents and not until after ten years
had passed was the pay made TWEEN
ty-three cents an hour under the old
schedule. Beginning January j tho
one year men will be getting what
used to be paid only to the teu year
veterans and the maximum pay of
twenty-five cents will be given to
every platform man upon the com
pletion OF two instead of ten years
of service. The difference between
the old and the proposed rates is the
result of successive raises effective
January 1910, January 1911, and
the coming new year.
To provide the extra amount need
ed to meet the increased payroll
Public Service will have to turn over
to the $500 or SO employees the re-
ceipts from approximately 2.50o, 900
passengers each year not including
any Who ride on transfers.

fst Time in 10J Years.

For the first time In over 100
years the Parker homestead at 16
Smith street, is being renovated and
painted. The shed in the rear OF the
house was torn down yesterday,
fearing that a good gust OF wind

being painted and new steps replace
the old ones.
The house was built In 1903
and several years later the upper
porch attachment was constructed.
The place is owned by Cortland Par
ker of Newark. Although several
real estate men have been after the
property for some time it will not
be sold according to a statement
given out today by Captain James
Parker. Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Bay
