LIVING COSTS
INVESTIGATED
Railway Wage Commission
Makes Surprising Discov-
cries of Money Saving.

Washington, D. c.. March THE
most extensive investigation into liv-
ing costs ever undertaken in this
country has been made by the rail-
road wage commission in its search
for information on which to base rec
concentrations for wage increase. More
than 500 newspapers and every cham
her of commerce in the United States
were called on by the commission to
furnish data on the rise in prices.
Reports from newspapers were gath
cred at the commissions request, by
trained newspaper men, who were in
structed 10 visit families with in
comes OF $1,000 and less, and ascertain
how much they were spending for
food and clothes now as compared
1915. Itemized accounts were obtained
as TO what was done with the money
received by the wage earners.
Some Save on $500.
The result was astounding" secre-
rary Lane. chairman, said today. We
found some families saving money on
incomes Of $500 a year"
Mr. Lane said the request for in
formation regarding families living
on $1,000 and less lid not indicate
that any limit had been set for en-
ployes to receive increases.
Elaborate charts OF wages paid by
railroads have been made, showing
that IN the United States approxi-
mately 1 percent of all railroad work
eTs receive about $50 a month, and
sss percent are paid from SCI to s65
a month When wages reached $50 a
month the men in each division as the
pay advances IS total less than 1 per-
cent Of the entire number.
For the first time in history, an ac-
curate census Of all railroad workers

men and women are employed in
transportation
The recommendation OF the commits
sion TO the director general viii be
final They are expected to be made
this month, possibly within two weeks.
