ANOTHER OF WARS RESULTS
Direct Connection Traced Between
Great Conflict and the Annoying
Scarcity of Laundresses.

This is from Alexandria, our neigh.
boring city down the Potomac.
Housekeepers there are having quite
q time getting "help," especially some
one to do the family wash. The me-
cessity for clean clothes is one which
devolves upon civilized beings. Wars
may come and wars may. 60, but The
washtub and dashboard go on forever.
But it has been hard to get laun-
dress in Alexandria. Wartime ccndi-
lions have enabled many who earned
their living at the tub to turn to less
arduous pursuits, with the result that
there is a scarcity of wash ladies'"
The condition Is one paralleled in
many other cities.
AUNT Lucy" said one Alexandrian
woman, addressing colored woman
whom she had known for many years,
don't you know some one who can
do my washing?"
mo, ma'am I don't know no one,"
She said.
The woman made last attempt.
won't you do 1t for me, Aunt
Lucy?" she asked, with a winning
smile.

n the city Of New York the wages
Of the driver Of q milk wagon have
been established at $50 week. In
addition he gets percentage on his
collections. An active man can make,
it Is said, between $50 and $40 week.
On the American railroad track
man gets 81 day.
1t would seem that a track worker
is as useful q servant Of the public
as milk wagon driver.
|. An engineer Of a locomotive earns
from SITS to $3.50 month. The
milk wagon driver, Il would appear,
averages nearly as much as the loco
motive engineer
Longshoremen earn So to SO q day.
That is more than many engineers.
A bricklayer earns approximately as
much as an engineer, but the bricklay
er's employment is not regular.
Workers Of fair ability in steel mills
and in coal mines get So to S. q day.
Ne csass or kind Of labor is con-
tent. The demand always is for more.
Co.incident with the demand Tor
higher wage is one for less hours.
One thing not appreciated by Am
erican labor is that the scale here IS
out of ali proportion to that in 9TH
er countries. Take Great Britain, for
example. 1T was brought out In the
recent strike of British railroad men
that 100000 railroad workers got S.
week up to the time OF the war.
After the war started their pay was
raised. The strike was precipitated
!. because the government sought TO re-
Aluce the pay of these 100000 men to
$50. It was pointed out by the rail
waymer in advertisements they in
serted in newspapers that the govern
ment had agreed not to reduce the
wages below $40 week before De-
cenber 81, 1919, and not then unless
the cost Of living had declined to war
rant it. The railwaymen said $40 had
not the purchasing power $5 had be-
fore the war and the government was
violating its pledges. On the state
n1ent of the railwaymen it would ap-
pear their complaint was Just md
their strike was warranted.
AIT the same time what are we to
think of American scale of wages com
pared with that of Great Britain?
The American trackman gets as
l1luCn IOT = Il ~ udyS vi 4dDOA 90 1AA1 /
Britisher gets for one week. Are
the costs Of living so different in the
two countries as to warrant this diff
ference?
The British miIkman who got $50
week and extra for collection would
be considered a noble.
The British bricklayer or longshore
man who made from $50 tc $50 or
more would think the millennium had
arrived.
Americas scale of wages always
has been higher than that in Europe
but with all the natural advantages
America possesses the waga scale does
not warrant such a difference. /
1t would not matter il the Ameri-
can worker did not reduce production
with each increase in his pay, Wages
come from production, not from The
employer.
