THE ARisTocRATic PLAsTERER

Speaking of wages, how would you like to be plasterec One of Chicago s largest contractors says, "A plasterer is entitled to $44 a week under the Landis award. On one house l am building in the suburbs, a plastereT receives SIP a day as regular wages and s6 a day overtime, or $9O for five days, excluding Saturday. For Satur- day he receives s6 for his regular mornings work and SIP for the after noon. which is overtime. This gives him SOS for six days work. Some plas terers work Sundays and for e-ght hours overtime receive s24 additional or a total for the seven day week of s132. In 1917 it cost approximately $500 to plaster an average house. Now it costs s2,2O0." In other words, II costs as much to plaster a house to- day as it did to build substantial structure in 1917. If the average lar mer makes as much month as the Chicago plasterer does a week, he IS apt to be pretty well satisfied.
