as per cent We're paid less than - per
week. According to this report only SIS
per cent OF all the girls employed in
the telephone and telegraph industry in
the city received $40 or more per week.
There has been no official investiga-
tion into the cost of living of working
women in this city. but a report recently
published by the industrial commission
OF the state, suggests pretty conclusive
ly that it cost about $500 per year or
- per week to provide the minimum
necessaries OF health and social decency
for a single woman. This amount cor
responds to similar conclusions reached
in other industrial sections of the eoun-
try. In view of the recent increase of
prices it should undoubtedly be increa sed
TO at least 50 per week.
Accept the figure, s. per week, as n
minimum of health and decency for 4
single woman and compare it with the
wages in the telephone industry as re-
ported by the state industrial commits
sion. The result is startling. Ii the
girls work full time. and very few OF
them do, more than three-quarters OF
them would be getting less than a living
wage, and more than half of them, re-
ceiving less than 81 a week would be
far below the level OF living decency.

Peace and Plenty
By Scott Nearing

The Democratic Campaign leaders
spent all of October md a portion Of
November telling the american people
that they We're enjoying a greater meas,
ure of prosperity than at any time for
a generation. The appeal of the party
in power during the campaign of 1916
was an appeal for the maintenance of
things as they arc.
Are the American Teople prosperous
Some of the economlc facts that have
come TO light in recent Jays suggest that
the prosperity about which so much has
been said is only skin deep 1t seems
to be bankers ma nufacturers -mer-
chants variety OF prosperity. While bill.
lions have been added to the fortunes
of the few. the masses are fighting fran
tically for the necessities of bare eS-
istence.
The facts brought out by the Bayonnc
strike give clue TO the whole situation.
A great corporation. earning handsome
returns on its investment was paying its
laborcrs a wage upon which health and
social decency for family of five were
impossible. The Illinois vice commission
reported that moro than half of the
girls in five of the large Chicago depart
ment stores. were receiving a wage that
the store managers themselves acknowl.
edged was insufficient 10 provide a de-
cent living. Strikes. Industrial disor-
ders and official INVESTIGATIONS In other
parts OF the country have led to similar
revelations of great gulf between
American wages and the health of the
American people. Indeed bulletin No
o. OF the federal bureau of health sug-
gests that third of the American fam
lilies are below the poverty line.
Within few weeks the telephone op-
orators of a midwest city. with a popu-
lation of somewhat less than quarter
of a million, struck for higher wages and
better conditions of labor. An appeal
TO the official evidence brought out some
interesting facts.
The state bureau of labor statistics
prepared report which showed that In
1915 there wcrc 533 female wage carners
eighteen years of age and over in the
telegraph and telephone industry of the
city. Their wages We're as follows: more
than one-quartcr of the total number.
% per cent. were paid weekly wage of
less than 50 per week; over one-half of
the girls, IS per cent, were paid less than
81 per week, and thrce-quarters of them
