FACTORY WAGES SHOW
CONTINUED DECREASE
Definite DoUnUard Trend In.
dicoted in Late Reports.

ALBANY. Feb. 25.--A definite down
ward trend OF factory workers earnings
is recorded In the January reports to
the State Industrial Commission here.
The January average weekly earnings
of employees engaged in all the manu-
featuring industries Of the state were
s27.61. or - cents .eow the average
reported in December. This is the third
consecutive decrease and brings the
total reduction in average weekly earn
Ings since the high mark OF October
70 sl.32.
The reduction in earnings during the
latter part OF 1920 was due almost
entirely to part time work. as but few
decreases In wage rates were reported
prior 10 1921. Evidence is now seen of
general downward revision In order
to meet the decrease in prices OF manu-
featured articles. Although part time
work was still the chief factor re-
sponsible for the drop In earnings in
January. = large number OF reports for
the first time showed reduced earnings
