FOOD COST FALLS
FASTER THAN WAGE
Declines in January Were 4

spectively.

ALBANr, March 3l.--From January to
February the total amount expended for
wages In New York State factories de-
creased per cent. This decline Is ex-
planned for the most part by reductions
In the hours worked and by part time
operation and not by decreases In the
rates of pay.
There were exceptions to this down.

in wood manufactures. In printing and
In food and liquors. In respect to re-

levels established under war conditions
The February wage volume Is II per
cent. greater than that OF the same
month year ago and Ss per cent.
| greater than n similar amount reported
In February. 1917.
The most conspicuous decreases In
| total payrolls occurred in textiles and In
the metals group where the declines were
10 and per cent. respectively. In tex
| tiles. with the exception of wool manu-
| features. smaller payrolls were the rule.
This condition was most marked in the
manufacture of cotton goods. where the
decline was 81 per cent In the metals
| the most pronounced reductions in the
amount Of wages paid were 81 per cent
] In railway repair shops and IS per cent
each In structural iron work and in pig
| iron and rolling mill products.
On the other hand the firearms group
paid rs per cent. more wages in Feb
ruary than in January. which apparently
indicates that this industry has passed
through its period of readjustment. De-
clines IN other industry groups ranged
from per cent. each in light and power
and In furs and fur goods to per cent.
each In chemicals and in paper manu-
facturs
| The above facts are based on an anal
ysis made by the Bureau OF Statistics OF
the New York State Industrial Commits
sion from reports received from l.64S

ployees. These manufacturers are chosen
because of their representative position
In the industry Of the State.

It is seen that in so far as these factors

term report on the Winnipeg sympa-
thy strike of last May and. June will
probably be furnished by the enc of
this month. Judge Robson stated.
when all documentary evidence has
been submitted and examined The
commissioner will resume his sittings
early this month. Questionnaires. the
judge said, have been sent out to la
Dor officials and unions asking for the
number Of men that went out on
strike, their average earnings. their
losses, length of time they were out,
number of men still out of employ
ment, number who have left city. or
taken other employment, comparison
of wages earned with cost of living on
May 1, and whether the stringent eco
nomic conditions now would produce
the state of mind making them easily
again to strike. Employers have
also received missionaries to ascer-
tain what the working men lost
through suspension Of payrolls, loss to
business and in general what the
strike losses amounted to-. The judge
wants all details as to discrimination
