TEXTILE WORKERS
GETTING MORE PAY

Conditions for workers are improving
In the cotton. wooden and silk indus
tries. This was made evident today in
the report on those industries made by
the Bureau Of Labor Statistics Of the
Labor Department
1T will be observed" says the report
after discussing percentages Of changes
at some length, that the general ten
dercy Of the occupations Is toward a re-
duction OF working hours and an in
crease In rates of wages per hour and
of earnings per full week"
In the statistics given from 1907 to
1913 a noticeable Improvement occurred
up to 1912, while the figures for 1913
show that there was a slight setback
In that year. In the occupation Of
trinmers. for instance 1t is seen that
the average full-time weekly earnings
increased from $500 in 1911 to $645 in
1872 in q group Of seventy-flve estab-
lishments. and in a group Of seventy
seven establishments they decreased
