ERA OF HIGH WAGES
WILL FOLLOW WAR
Better Pay In Europe Will
Restrict immigration.

NCONOMICAL and industrial con-
ditions abroad, after the war,
the enforcement of the laws
of many European countries
forbidding emigration, and the pro-
hibition In our laws against the ad-
mission of physical incompetents to
the United States, are factors which,
In the opinion of Secretary of Labor
William b. Wilson, will result In the
greatest reduction In immigration In
decades.
The probabilities are, in the opinion
Of the secretary, that workmen will
command higher wages and more re-
spect from employers, and that foreign
governments, because of the almost
helpless condition in which the warning
countries will find themselves-felds
devastated bridges and factories de-
stroyed and industry at standstill-
will cali for labor to restore and re-
plenish.
The great demand for labor abroad,
compelling the payment of higher
wages than in years, and the lessening
of the influx of laborers from foreign
countries, will have the effect not only
of increasing the activity in the United
States, but of increasing wage scales
Such IS the opinion Of the head of
the United States labor department,
who bases this deduction on what hap
pened both at home and abroad after
the Franco-Prusslan war.
Il IL g.,
eign immigration for several physical
and psychological reasons" said Secre-
tary Wilson
'First.-Men are likely to have an un-
usually strong attachment for those
places where they endured hardship
and suffered. 1t seldom Is the case
that there has been great immigra-
ton from countries that have been at
war after the conflict except where
they have been driven out
Second. labor situation abroad
will offer SO much to the laboring man
as TO make him satisfied with his lot at
home. There viii be the work of res
toration in all countries, the greatest
field Of activity the world has ever
seen. Workmen will be more respected
and will command consideration.
Third. Immigration will be restrict
ed by our laws. Millions Of men who
have been maimed or injured or con-
tracted chronic illness as the result of
the war will reduce the number of peo-
pie available for admission to this
country. The physically defective can
not be admitted, and this also will
keep out their families and relatives,
as the families will have no means of
support and cannot come here for fear
they will become paupers."

Acres and Bible Letters.

1t has sometimes been stated that
there are more acres in Yorkshire than
there are letters in the Bible. A per-
son hearing the statement for the first
time is inclined to doubt it. but 1t is
true, all the same. Authorities differ
as to the exact acreage of the county,
Dne giving it as 1882, S4S and another
as 3,771, 843. But the number of let
ters in the Bible is said to be 1885,
4S0, so the acres beat the letters, with
something to spare. - London Notes
