OH, HUM! ONLY $3.50 a DAY.

An example of how the change will
affect wages is contained in II COM
parison of pay of the lowest class
Of unskillcd labor and that Of the high
est class Of skilled wOrkmcn. The
most unslilled laborcr will get an
advance of so cents II day and the
highest paid workman will get a SIS
II day advance. Jobs in between will
he raised in accordance with their
rating.
The cheapest workman now employ
ed by the United States Steel corpor
alton the man who knows no skill in
any line except to go about with Il
whcelbarrow and pick up scrap Or
some such job, is paid $3.50 for work
ing twelve hours. Under the new pay
system this same man will get $500
a day. few years ago the common
laborer in the steel mill district re
ccived only $3.50 a day.
The highest class of skilled labor
er, the rail straightener now gets $50
for working twelve hours. Under the
new pay system for working twelve
hours he will get $3.50. Bear in mind
that is not weekly wage-it is one

There are not many Of this class but
there are a great III; ny men who Re

HIGHEST ADVANCE ON RECORD

1t is the biggest pay raise that steel
workers have been granted in the his
tory Of the industry and from CONVEX
sations with workmen as they read
the signs today it appeared to re
preventative of the Daily News that
with the exception of few younger
mon and boys who prefer to work
eight hours the increase Is more ac-
ceptable than a cut in hours.
While officials of the various Unit
cd States Steel CORPORATION Plants in
South Chicago or tho Calumet region
refused to be quoted, it was general
ly understood the stringent labor
scarcity, especially tho lack of highly
skilled men made the twelve hour day
and its attendant wage increase abso
lutcly necessary. To add third eight
hour, shift to the present two shifts
OF workers would have meant tie hir
ing of 1000 additional workmen in
the South Chicago district alone and
about $4,000 in the country. It is con
sidcred impossible to obtain these men
at this time.

MORE VALUABLE THAN GOLD
Real Treasure OF Peru Was the Po-
tato, Though Spaniards Did
Not Realize II.

The gold OF the Indies was the at
traction that led Columbus to sail
westward, that carried Cortez to Mex
leo and Pizarro to Peru. The Incas
had large stores Of the precious metal,
representing, no doubt, the accumula-
tons Of many centuries. The capture
Of such a booty resounded through
Europe. Spain became for time the
wealthlest, as well as the most pow.
erful, nation Of Europe. and this was
ascrihed to the gold Of Peru.
But Peru held another treasure
much more valuable for the nations Of
Europe than the golden booty Of
Plzarro. Carrying the potato to Eu-
rope was an event Of much more pro-
found significance In relation to the
subsequent history Of the world than
sending the Inca gold to the Golfers
Of Spain. But nobody understood the
value Of the potato, and It's Peruvian
origin was generally forgotten before
the plant became well known. In.
stead of Peruvian potatoes we call
them Irish potatoes.
The potato was the basis Of the
ancient Peruvian nation and has at
tanned almost the same importance In
other parts Of the world within the
last 100 Unconstitutional Geographic
Magazine.
