Chinese Go on Strike.

Through an attempt on the part OF
the Master Builders Association OF
Vancouver, B. c., to institute the open
shop a general strike has taken place
Vancouver has for quite number OF
years past been the dumping ground
for large number of immigrants from
all the countries in the far east, and
conditions of labor have consequently
been continually growing worse. One
unique feature in the Vancouver con
test is the fact that the Chinese car
penters have made common cause witt
the organizations of labor. The Chi
nese are not organized into labor un
ions as we understand them, but are
however, members of what are termed
trade guilds and one Chinaman il

fellow countrymen also ceased work
replied: "White men quit. Alice same(

receive a higher weekly wage pei
member than do the members of any
other cigarmakers' union In the coun-
try" said David Goldstein, an execu-
tive officer in the Boston Cigarmakers'
union. 1.-THE wage for the cigarmak-
ers was $2,90O,OOO last year, and the
average was about $1,000 per member.
The average in the United States is
not over 5000 year. The Boston
Cigarmakers union, besides advertis-
ing the cigarmakers' label in the press
and elsewhere, has representative
in the Boston chamber Of commerce,
whose business it is to boost the la

Graphic illustrations.
The child labor exhibition recently
opened in New York by the national
child labor committee is attracting
wide attention.
The exhibit consists in part of many
photographs showing little children at
work for long hours in tobacco, can
ming, cotton and other factories, the
pinched faces and stunted forms ex-
citing the pity of all who view them.
There are also statistics and graphic
illustrations Of the number of children
of very tender years still employed in
factories of many kinds and the eff
fects of such employment on the de.
velopment of their bodies and minds.
The national committee does not
work directly to induce factory owners
to stop the employment of children,
but to get legislatures to pass more
rigid laws limiting such employment.
The exhibit has already been seen in
many of the cities of the country, in
Guiding Boston, st. Louis, Washing
ton, Nashville, Memphis, Birmingham,

MINE WORKERS WAGES.
Anthracite Men Still Getting Benefits
of Bio Strike,

of Big Strike.
Computations have been made &c
show what the anthracite mine work
ers have received as a result of the
sliding scale established by the strike
commission which President Roosevelt
appointed in 1902. The sum is S2S,.
293,442. This is in addition to the
general 10 per cent wage increase
which the comission granted. 1t is due
to the automatic advance in the pay of
labor from every rise above $3.50 a
ton in the tidewater price of coal.
The commission, after granting the
fiat 10 per cent increase, decreed that
for every cent rise in the price OF
coal above $3.50 the wages of the
mine workers should be increased by
l per cent. For example, If the aver.
age price is $3.50 in September the
men get per cent increase for that
month. The advance applies to all
classes of employees.
The marketable output of anthracite
since the sliding scale was established
has amounted to 544, 104,670 tons. The
average increase from the operation OF
the scale has been 80 cents ton
making total Of $2S,293,442.

HIGH COST OF LIVING.

An Illustration Showing What 50
Will Buy Of the Farmer.
AT the senate committee hearings
last month In Washington many state
ments were made to show that the In
creased cost of living was by no means
due to Increased prices for farm prod
ucts. One speaker gave an illustra-
ton of the purchasing value of So.
He had employed an expert painter,
paying him s. day for eight hours
work. The painter complained of the
high cost of living these days and
that wages were not high enough.
The employer then explained to him
what So would buy of the farmer and
what he had to produce to pay the
painter one days wages. These were
the articles named: Twelve quarts of
milk. half a bushel of potatoes twelve
quarts of onions. two dozens of eggs.
one and one-half pounds of butter. one
and one-half quarts of cream. FIVE
pounds of pork and six pounds of beef.
These articles the farmer had to sell
for So to pay the painter one days
wages. This is not saying that these
things could have been procured at the
retail store for So. but 1t shows that
something besides farmers prices en-
tiers into the high cost of living.
