Was Once Waste Land

In the office of George F. Baker, in the
First National bank of New York city,
there hangs on the wall the original patent
from James ii, King of England, dated
February 4, 1855, for the land on which
the First National bank now stands, there
in designated as "waste land' outside the
city gate of New York. 1t was issued to
one Thomas Dougan, "ate governor and
how admiral of New York.
There is attached small sketch of the
property, showing Wall street with its
fence, and the city gate, through which
leads Broad way"
When one considers that this waste
land" now represents one of the most val
liable spots in the world one realizes what
changes little more than two centuries
have wrought in New York city.
What would Thomas Dougan have
said if he had been told that on this
waste land" would one day stand bank
ing institution returning its stockholders
over so per cent a ?-Selected.

expert on organization, their positions are
about the equivalent of that of plant en-
poyment manager and would command
on the side of capital from $4,000 to $1O,-
600 year.
"a plant manager who was held re-
sponsble for the production made by 5000
men," continued Mr.. Holmes, "woud be
worth from $4,000 to $4,000, year, ac-
Cording to the results which he obtained.
1t is difficult to make exact comparisons,
as the labor leader is not held to such
strict accountability as is the plant super
intendent. There is no reason why how
ever, the labor leaders who work along
constructive lines and have high ideals
should not have every dollar which those
who retain them are able to pay.
eff it can be shown that an $4,000 man
builds up rather than tears down, that he
seeks to promote good relations between
employer and employees and that he has
large vision and looks to the future, he
should certainly be compensated for the
value of his services.
81 should say that, considering the gen.
eral abilities and the power for organiza-
ton which Samuel Gompers has, that he
would be worth 100000 year to large
interests which could afford to pay him
all that he is worth. He is worth that to
the American laboring man, for he has the
qualities of a statesman and has a wide
knowledge of men and affairs His work
has been educational and he has built for
tie future.
"His services cannot be valued merely
in terms of dollars and cents, and, for that
matter, neither can the work of any man.
The principle is the vital factor to con-
slider in valuing men. If a labor leader
stands for Americanism and seeks to ad-
vance the interests of all whom he repre-
sents not merely by getting them more
money, but by making them more useful
citizens, he is certainly worth large
salary and should get it,
The authorities who have looked into
the question of wages in recent months
have based their estimates of what should
be paid on the basis of production, and by
the same token they are beginning to esti-
his constructive ability.

4 for labor leader and contract for
life shows that some unions are pay
ing as big salaries to their executives as
do the large business interests Salaries Of
from $4,000 to $4,000 are by no means in
frequent, writes John w. Harrington in
the New York Sun.
The head of the Dockbuilders' union for
instance, whose compensation is $500
month, is the highest paid labor represen-
tative in New York city and probably in
the country. At least no leader of the
working classes has come forth so far to
admit that he is getting more, and search
of the archives of the unions fails to reveal
anything like so huge an honorarium.
Although this appears to be the top
notch in the way of salaries the dock
builders in the district from Philadelphia
to Boston, including those of New York
city and neighborhood, believe that they
are getting the worth of their money, and
insisted on his having that amount, al
though like Caesar, he several times de-
clined the honor.
Once labor headquarters was dark
and dingy place, reeking of stale pipes and
of staler beer fumes. Its floors were caked
with CRIME and its walls were dirty and
dingy. Now the chief officer of the dock
builders has bright and airy Office and
does business in an atmosphere of good
desks, file cases and high power business
efficiency. Clerks, stenographers and
cashiers are under his eye, and everywhere
are all the devices which make for at
tending to large affairs. If one were
suddenly translated to his presence one
would think that he was talking to the
manager of one of the large corporations
or a bank president.
He works from 16 to 1S hours day
and says he often works TO- Any one
seeing him cheerfully violating the eight
hour law may well realize that he is
worth good deal of money to any interest
to which he might devote himself for he
tfansacts business like lightning.
Nominally, he is the representative of
the Dockbuilders union, which is COM
nected with the Brotherhood of Carpen
ters and Joiners, part of the American
Federation of Labor, and from that organ
ization he draws his large salary, voted
to him unanimously over his veto. Those
who compose this well-established union
were getting $500 day before the war,
i. e. in 1918, and now they have. $3.50,
which is gain of slightly more than 100
per cent.
They are giving therefore, less than
one days work year to the salary of
their representative. In return for this he
keeps things running smoothly, and sees
that work is as regular and steady as
possible and gets what they consider fair
wages for them without their having to
lose heavily by strikes in getting it. He is
as willing to order strike as any labor
leader, but he regards it as last resort.
Neither does he believe in stopping work
for days and weeks on important jobs
while some detail of jurisdiction is being
considered.
His salary is more than that of Samuel
Gompers, the president of the American
Federation of Labor, whose stipend is now

he creation or United States OF
Central America" and troubles be-
tween Panama and Costa Rica which
almost led to war, have drawn attention to
the countries south of the Caribbean sea
recently more strongly than at any time
since the completion of the Panama canal.
Nowhere else in the world has Nature been
more bountiful in her blessings of natural
resources than in the Caribbean region.
Everything that her treasurehouse holds
has been bestowed with lavish and also
with impartial, hand. Someone has OBJ
served that if you tickle the ground with
hoe it smiles back with yam and GER
tain it is that in any one of these coun-
tries the ground of natural resources may
be tickled with the hoe of foreign capital
and it smiles back with yams of wealth.
These countries are nearly all favored
alike in natural wealth, but there is vast
difference in the development of that
wealth-a difference that may be attri-
buted almost wholly to the character of the
governments in the respective countries.
In some of these lands the milk and
honey of plenty flows in bountiful stream.
Others are in wretched poverty, where the
masses never have enough to keep the
gaunt wolf of hunger from gnawing at
their vitals day and night and year in
and year out. In travelling through these
countries, one is impressed with the fact
that prosperity abides with good rule and
poverty dwells with misrule.
Starting out with the easily demon
strated fact that there is very little diff
ference between these countries in their
natural resources, it is interesting to look
around and notice what vast difference
there is in the use that is being made of
this natural wealth. One need not go out
of the confines of Central America to see
this. 1t would require six Salvadors to
make one Honduras, and yet Salvador has
twice the population of Honduras ard
larger foreign commerce. Costa Rica is
less than half as big as Nicaragua, and
yet its foreign commerce is greater than
that country's.
And yet, when Salvador and Costa Rica
are compared with Porto Rico, they in turn
seem to be slow in their development. Por-
to Rico is so small that seven islands like
it would be required to cover an area
equal to that of Costa Rica, yet it has a
foreign trade more than fifteen times as
great as that of the Banana Empire. Porto
Rico is less than half as large as Salvador,
yet it has foreign trade over thirteen
times as great.
Little Porto Rico is so small that it could
be buried in a single Central American
lake; it would take 81 islands of its size
to equal Central America in area and yet
Porto Rico enjoys about three times as
much foreign trade as all Central Amer
lea together from Tehuantepec to Column
ba. The reason? Because compared 20
these Central American republics Porto
Rico has an ideal government The trade
of the island has increased sevenfold since
Uncle Sam took possession there. The
number of children enrolled in the schools
has increased sixfold. The wages of the
laboring class has multiplied threefold
even before the war; (Page g, Col. 81

$500, and before that it had been ad-
vanced from $4,000 shortly before the
European war. The veteran leader ac-
cepted this amount under protest saying
that it was more than he needed to live on,
and that the fact it had been raised to so
large an amount might be used against or
ganized labor.
So far nobody has used it very much,
for the consensus is that considering the
duties, Mr. Gompers earns that much and
probably great deal more. For prac-
tically forty consecutive times this veteran
leader has been chosen for high post in the
organization against all corners. Now
nearing the age of three score and ten he
is still considered at the height of his
powers as an executive.
Judged on the basis of the number of
] hours he works day Mr.. Gompers is the
equivalent of several men, He carries
heavy burden at the offices of the fedora
tion, which, by the way, owns its building
and has an elaborate organization to main
tain. AS the grand supervisor of the
federation he directs its policies and also
makes frequent journeys throughout the
country. AS speaker on public occasions
he is heard often in cities far from Wash
ington./ He is also the editor of the Ameri-
can Federationist, the official organ of the
federation, as well as a frequent contri-
butor to magazines.
The salary of the organizer of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, who makes his
headquarters in New York city, is under
expenses.
Warren E. Stone, the head of the Bro
therhood of Locomotive Engineers, one of
the top men on the salary list of American
labor, gets $4,000 year. He is considered
one of the ablest of the diplomats of the
kingdom of toll and his duties takes him
close application
The head of the Longshoremen's union
There have been rumors that he received
a good deal more, but this figure is gen.
orally accepted in labor circles as the
actual amount. AS organizer of the dock
workers he has done much important work
for his organization and is regarded as one
of the most aggressive of leaders.
The head of the International Typogra
phical union gets a salary of $4,000
year and travelling expenses. Until
comparatively short time ago his services
were requited with only $4,000 a year.
Many of the printers thought he was worth
considerable more, but it was not until re-
Gently that the increase was given. He has
many activities which keep him constantly
on the wing From his headquarters in
Indianapolis he makes frequent trips
where his services are required in the set
tlement of strikes or in the making of
them.
The labor leaders of the new order, who
occupy responsible positions, are getting
from $4,000 to $4,000 year and have
to devote their entire time to their tasks
although the indications are that before
long there will be more labor leaders who
will command pay as high as that of the
head of the dockbulders' union.
Judging the matter of compensation for
labor leaders from the point of view of
Mr.. George f. Holmes, the general mana
ger of the industrial relations service, an
