demands a restoration Of its pre-war

ANHtAaes AL mouAAlnAs N4n-aAs
Summing up the effeot OF wages
and prices on the factory workers OF
me state in the year 1919, the COM
mission finds that there was an av-
erage increase of IL per cent. in earn
ing8 and per cent increase in
food costs, a distinct gain for the
worker. In December one year ago
(f91S), factory wOrkers' earnings av-
oraged 50 per cent higher than in the
month q June, 1914. The average
increase last month over June, 1914,
was 1N per cent. On the other hand,
food prices were SO per cent higher
in December, 1918, than in June, 1914,
and 80 per cent. higher last month.
Reviewing the movements in the
earnings OF factory workers during
the past year, the low mark for weekly
earnings was reached in most OF the
chief industry groups in January,
February OF March. After the first
quarter numerous incTeases in rates
Of pay were reported. but for a few
months these were largely offset by
reductions in the number OF regular
working hours. Since July, fewer
changes in regular hours were re-
ported, and with the gain in factory
operations, wSfge- rate increases be-
came more numerous. The result was
= rapid upward movement in the av-
erage weekly earnings of factory en-
ployees during the last five months
OF the year.
The December, 1919, average, 500 20,
was an increase OF 50 cents or more
than per cent over the previous
month, and S4.25 or 10 per cent, over
February, 1919, the low month Of the
year.
The total amount Of payroll ex-
penditures in December was Z per
cent. higher than in November This
means an amount 1856 per cent. higher
than in June, 1914. The increase in
number Of factory workers was but
- per cent.
The largest gains OF the month in
workers earnings were. in the silver
ware, cotton textile, and printing in
dustries. These gains are the result
Of Increased operations an the silver
ware industry, a 12h per cent. in
crease in rates Dec. follow
ing the settlement OF labor troubles
in the cotton textile industry, and the
s. weekly increase to journeymen in
the printing industry. Other in
creaSeS in wage rates On December
were reported by Arms man ufactur-
ing varnishes, paper, woollen cloth
knit goods. finished cotton cloth and
mems clothing.
Reduced weekly earnings in the
cement industry were due TO the coal
shortage in the early part of Deem
her, the sugar. shortage caused re-
duced forces and reduced earnings In
sugar refineries, and seasonal condi-
tions were responsible for lower earn
lngs in brick, miscellaneous canvas
