In Red Germ anv
By Vim. c. Dreher
Berlin Correspondent of The Tribune.

ID ERLIN, April 29.-In the process Of
ID readjusting wages and salaries to
the changed conditions of life and
the depreciation of German currency some
remarkable inequalities occur 1t fire.
quently happens that the brainworker is
left far behind in the struggle for in
creased earnings. The reason is that the
man who works with his hands belongs to
organization in which often many thou
sands of workmen act with united will in
enforcing higher wages, whereas the brain
worker has to lift himself economically
speaking, by his own bootstraps. Besides
the revolution, which gave occasion for the
readjustment Of wages, came from below:
it was socialstic. Hence, the interests of
the workingmen were first looked after
not only by the workmen themselves. but
also by the newly created political au-
thorities. Hence, again, more remarkable
variations in pay for work done.
A great medical professor informed me
of this case: A scientist here at Berlin. of
no mean ability and considerable reputa-
ton, is in charge Of archaeological
laboratory His salary is 5000 marks.
But the servant who looks after the clean
ing of the room, taking care Of the in
struments and such other humble tasks
gets 5000 marks.
I told this to my friend, banker, who
added this contribution: "There is a SER
want in one of the ministries here, who.
before the war, had a salary of 400
marks, along with rent allowance and
other minor payments, making a total of
about 2,100 marks a year. To-day he is
getting 5000 marks-partly for length of
service, partly for his six children. But
the unmarried privy councilors-men who
have spent years at the university and in
other preparatory training for their off,
cal positions-have salary of 5000
marks"
These inequalities often appear inside
the same factory and then they seem all
the intolerable. Not long ago the
office employees of several big manufacture
ing concerns at Lubbock were striking for
higher salaries, on the ground that they
were receiving less than the shop force
Recently there was a big strike of Office
and technical stats of the great metal
working companies of Berlin and vicinity.
The cause the same as at Lubbock; men
of high technical education were actually
getting lower pay than the workmen
Similar conditions have been reported
from other places and industries.

The Coming 7'ower

Professors at the University Of Pennsyl-
vania are getting increases Of from 10 to
25 per cent and increases at other univer-
stiles are imminent. This is undoubtedly
owing to the dropping of Latin and Greek.
If the studies of English, Music and Phil
osophy also be discontinued, it may some
day be possible to be professor without
benefit of father-in-law
The study Of Latin and Greek helps a
man to spell, but, as tiring business man
tells us, spelling is woman's work "I can
buy good speller for s25 week." he said.
And how can you argue with a business
man? We, for one, simply listen.
