WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-The in

employees in eleven principal indus
tries in the last six years was great
est in the iron and steel industry,
according to statement made pub
lie here by the bureau of statistics
of the Labor Department. While
IN some departments the pay was
greater than in others, in all depart

of steel and iron mill workers in 1919
was 221 per cent of the hourly wage
in 1913, or 1-5 times as great.
The smallest increased earnings
were those in the mill work indus
try, where the increase of 1919 over
1913 was only 81 per cent. In the
other nine industries for which fig
ures were given the increase varied
from So to "a per cent. These in
