WAGES FOR FARM HELP.

II Is q not uncommon comment that
wages tend to advance only in those
lines In which labor is organized In
to unions. IL is undoubtedly fact
that the tendency Of wages Is TO ad-
vance more rapidly in the realm OF
organized labor, yet the advance Is
noticeable In lines where unions do
not exist In fact, as any one who
might stop and think moment
would readily see. the steadily In
creasing cost Of subsistence has made
this absolutely necessary. Farm la
Dor affords an example, says Manches-
ter Union. This class Of labor has new
er In modern times been among the
best paid, and, indeed. neither the far
MGR nor his hired man has profited
financially to an extent at all common
surate with the Importance OF the In
dustry In which they are engaged. 1t
is interesting to note, however, that
the level OF farm wages is steadily ad-
vancing, and that the wages TOT tnal
class of work are now about IS per
cent higher than was the case in the
SOS. In the last four years alone
the average has risen IL per cent and
in the last year an increase of 2 per
cent has been noted. In some parts OF
the Northwest. according to statisti-
clans, farm wages range from $50 to
$50 a month. To be sure, the level in
the South is so much lower than that
as to hold the average for the country
down, but the inclination Of wages is
to rise faster In the South and in the
East than In the West, and there is
now less difference in the prices paid
for labor.
