Common Labor
Plentiful at $3.50
Per 1O-hOur Day
BY Ralph r. Couch
Written for Science Service


Washington, Dec. 25.-Common
labor is obtainable in large volume
in many sections of the United
States at the rate of $3.50 for 10
hour day, according to reports to the
Census Bureau. In very many local
tiles, however, employers are paying
far more.
The present rate, as reported to
the government, represents an ad-
vance of 63 per cent over the stand
ard of 1916 when $3.50 was paid
for a 10-hour day.
One phase of the wage scale con-
troversy that has gone on through
out the country during the last six
years is revealed in the official re-
ports to the Census Bureau. The
reports present the changes in the
wages of common labor engaged in
mills and big industrial plants.
During 1915, the wage of the COM
mon labor is shown to have been in
creased twice, once uuTlIS tIe SUM-
mer to $3.50 per day and later in the
year to s2.75.
Two increases were reported for the
following year. 1917. In the summer,
the wage went to $500. Early in the
fall occurred the second increase to
$3.50 a day. Three increases were
made during 1918 which brought the
days wage to $4.62. The next jump
was reported for 1920 and represent
ed the maximum paid during the
period. The 1920 wage was $5.06 per
day.
It was early in 1921 that the wage
rate began to step down. Three cuts
were made during the year bringing
the rate down to $500 per day which
was the standard of the early part
Of 1917.
This seems to represent the limit
of the drop. The scale is now be-
ginning a new ascent in direct pro-
portion to a growing unsatisfied de-
mand for labor.

"Broadway Rose" Joy to Witness
broadway Rose" which yesterday
opened at the Opera House, is sure
to appeal to those who found pleas
ure in Miss Murray's recent produc-
tions, Peacock Alley" and Easel
nation" and that means nearly every
one who goes to the movies.
For in broadway Rose" Miss
Murray has an interesting story Civ
ing her role which affords every
opportunity for the unusual ability
which has made her recent pictures
a JOY to see. In the present picture
she is a country girl who has won
the favor of Broadway by her ability
as dancer. She loves Hugh Thomp-
son, the son of wealthy Fifth Avenue
parents who are bitterly opposed to
his infatuation. Seeking only hap
piness for herself and the man she
loves, she consents to a secret mar
riage in order to avoid an open break
between Hugh and his family. But
they discover the facts, and are re
lentless in the determination that
their sons life shall not be ruined
by such an alliance. The complica-
tions which ensue bring Rosalie very
near to disaster, but in the end she
finds real happiness.
broadway Rose" will be presented
this afternoon and evening for the
last times. and the management urges
all who intend to see this production
to be on hand early for good seats.

selected solely on basis Of merit
and efficiency, and that endorsements
OF a political nature or for politi-
cal purpose will not be considered by
the Commission
The Commission is Of opinion that
il it's work has been a success the
fact that politics has been kept
strictly out of the personnel Of it's
organization has had more or less to
do with that success.
The work Of road building in all of
its branches is decidedly technical
and with an organization changing

plexion of the States administration.
the State would never receive the
benefit of knowledge in this work
gained by experience.
The Commission has long pointed
out that less politics in the manage
ment of road work in the cities and
towns would lead to vastly better
results in the expenditure Of local
funds.
