HARDSHIPs OF TOILERS.
Lumber Workers Vctimized by Em-
ployment Agencies.

Lumber workers suffer from worse
conditions than any other class of la
borers in America, j q. Brown, pres
ident of the International Union of
Timber Workers, testified at Seattle
before the federal industrial relations
commission.
wages are low, hours are long and
the work hard" he said "The men
are victimized by employment agencies
to the last degree. One mill near
Gray's Harbor has standing order
with employment agencies in several
cities for labor.
Men constantly are going to the
camp, and as fast as they arrive other
men are discharged and the new ones
put to work.
"Ordinary laborers are paid about
$26 month and board. If they are
married and board themselves they are
allowed so a month for board. But
when a single man is Ill or otherwise
incapacitated for work he is charged
$50 a month for board.
when penniless men are sent out
on jobs their baggage is held for their
transportation and fee When they
finally earn enough to recover their
baggage they can change their cloth

SCHOOLTEACHERS' WAGE.
Unequal Pay For Equal Work the Rule
Throughout Nation.

unequal ray or Equal WORK the Rule
Throughout Nation.
Wide variation in the pay for the
same or similar work is one of the
most striking situations revealed by
the investigation of teachers salaries
just completed by the United States
bureau of education. Public elemen-
tary schoolteachers may receive So, 400
a year, as some do in New York CITY,
or $40 year, as in certain rural COM
munities Even in cities of the same
class there are considerable differences
in the salaries paid teachers. On the
administrative side there are county
superintendent with pay ranging from
S115 to $4,000 per annum and college
presidents receiving salaries all the
way from 5000 to $12,400.
In city school systems salaries have
increased steadily in recent years, par
ticuIarly in the western states, and, in
general, salaries in city school systems
are fairly well standardized The av-
erage salary of the superintendent of
schools in cities Of over 250,000 popu-
lation is $7,179; the range is from
$4,000 to $4,000. In the same group
of cities high school principals average
$3,565 and elementary teachers $1,01S.
Even in the smallest cities listed, those
between 5000 and 10000 population,
salaries are fairly uniform. The maxi
mum for superintendent in this group
-, i,1 tAl1A
elementary teachers show an annual
average of 1913. with salaries as high
as 81 $50 and as low as $1O4.
1t is in the colleges and universities
that the widest variation prevails. The
salaries of men with the rank of pro
fessor" range from $3.50 to $500
professors" in some institutions re-
ceive less than INSTRUCTORS" or even
assistants" in others. Salaries of
deans of these institutions vary from
$500 to $4,000. University teachers of
subjects for which there is direct com
mercial demand outside receive some
what higher salaries than those in
charge Of the traditional academic sub
iects, but the difference is less than
might be expected.
The highest average salaries for full
professors are paid in law and civil en-
gineering. Law claims the highest
paid professorship in any subject, with
one salary Of 81 500; but there are pro
fessors of physics, geology and Latin
who receive $1,000 1t is significant,
however, that on the basis of the fig
ures reported most college teaching,
particularly in the first two years, is
done by men Of instructor grade, with
salaries of $1,000 to 81 200 or by as
sistants who receive on an average
about $500, usually for half time serv-
ices.
