the continued decline in wages in
manufacturing industries, while
wages OF anthracite workers fixed
under the 192O-22 agreement have
remained constant.
"Disproportionatc" Wage Increase
I'm Anthracite Industry.
THE disproportionate increase in
wages I'm the anthracite industry as
compared with changes In manu-
featuring wages and railroad wages,
lis shown particularly when the
changes in earnings Of common out
side labor in the anthracite industry
are compared with those OF com
mon labor on Glass l railroads and
with those of common or unskilled
labor in manufacturing industries.
THE increase in hourly earning
OF common labor In manufacturing
industry from July. 1914. to July.
1921, was 1T per cent; from June.
1914. through October. 1921. those
OF railroad workers rose to 1873 per
cent. and those OF outside common
labor in anthracite mining 1S9 per
cent.
During these periods the increase
In actual weekly earnings for com
mon labor in manufacturing Indus
tries were SIS per cent, for common
labor on railroads. 90 per cent. and
for common outside labor in anthra-
cite mining 1S9 per cent.
How Common Labor Benefited.
Comparing these changes with
changes in the cost Of living during
these periods. the real hourly earn
ings of common labor in manufac-
turing increased "a per cent; on
railroads. As per cent; in anthra-
cite mining, IT per cent. Real weekly
earnings OF common Industrial labor
increased Ia per cent; common rail-
road labor 20 per cent. and com
mon outside mining labor. II per
cent
The average hours worked per
week declined so hours for COM
mon industrial labor. SO hours for
common railroad labor. while those
OF common outside anthracite min
ing labor increased O.2 hour"
Finally, the boards statement
says, in considering adjustments in
the anthracite mining industry. the
following outstanding factors must
be taken into account:
Il. The wage increases since
1914 have been very extensive
~. There has been no wage re-
ducuon in the depression period.
"S. The increases for surface
labor have been far above those for
underground workers in more haz-
ardous occupations.
-. The increases have been
greater for the unskilled worker
and the day worker than for the
skilled laborer and the man who
works on contract or tonnage
basis.
"5. The constant demand for an

The following Is summary OF a

This Investigation is the most
comprehensive study ever made OF
conditions in the anthracite indus
try. It covers fifty-one companies
with s4,514 wage earners. operating
17e coilieries, OF which the total
production in 1920 was 64,54S.92s
tons, or about 81 per cent. OF the
entire production OF the industry.
THE period covered Is from the
last half OF June. 1914. to the last
half OF October. 1921, and the re-
suits show conditions as to earn

ment In a representative period
under the agreement OF 1912-1916,
az compared with a representative
period under that OF 192O-1921.

average hourly earnings OF all wage
earners were 27.S cents in June,
1914. and rose 10 1928 cents in Oc-
tober. 1921. an increase OF i69 per

Excluding contract miners who
are paid on a different basis from

lngs tend TO swell the average. this
increase is from 225 cents to 5s.s
