dio la palabra al Sr. Gonzalez Gino-

de aquella Asamblea.
En- la primera parte de su dis

subrayar 10 que va habfa dicho an
teriormente en- la prensa de que ell
sensacionalismo solo consigue SEM
brar ell panico pero que no hace OPT

Debemos antes decir que 10 mas

workers in the printing industry.
According to this report the near
est approach to the hourly rates for
skilled workers in the printing in
dustry is in the iron and steel Sec
ton with $1,000 and the rubber in
dustry with s0.69s per hour. The
nearest in weekly average is iron
and steel workers with S37.89 and
automobile workers with $s2.79.
While this report is based upon
very small section of the entire field
in the printing industry it has its
value for comparative purposes with
in those restricted limits, and en-
phasize the steady improvement in
printers wages which have been
feature of the past two years. For a
considerable period the printer Jagged
behind other trades in the effort to
improve his financial position and
such reports those referred to serve
to indicate that this anomaly is be-
ing removed.
While dealing with the question of
average wages it may be well to point
out that in spite of the very marked
improvement in the general financial
condition Of workers in the printing
industry there are still to be found
Jurisdictions where the wages paid to
printers is below the average for all
in the industry, skilled and unskilled.
The wage Of $36.14 quoted in this
connection by the National Industrial
Conference board looks respectable
alongside weekly wages of s25 to
$28 or $50.
We are advised in Holy Writ that
the poor we have always with us;
but such poor scales as those referred
to are a menace to more than the
workers Immediately concerned.

LEAD IN HIGH
AVERAGE OF EARNINGS

During the past month attention
has been drawn to certain figures is
sued by the National Industrial Con-
ference board in relation to the earn
ings of various craftsmen in industry.
In this connection the New York
Journal of Commerce made the fol-
lowing comment:
ain the face of further recession in
manufacturing activity as revealed by
the figures of the National Industrial
Conference board, the news and mag
azine printers led the list in amount
Of earnings, with an average pay en-
velope of $S6.14. The American
printer has regained the place in in
dustry which was held by his fore
bears, for now, as in the days of Cax-
ton and Bodoni, the printer may count
himself among the aristocracy of la
Dor, in SO far as his steady earnings
are concerned. His present weekly
wage of $36.14 compares with $17.44
in 1914"
| 1t should be pointed out that the
above figures are an average for that
section of the industry reporting to
the board and includes all workers in
every department, skilled and unskill-
ed The board has regularly report
F, ing establishments in all industries,
which for April, they state, numbered
100 plants.
Figures upon printing trades are
supplied from 1876 book and Job es-
adjustments spread over 20 states
and from 80 newspaper and periodical
establishments distributed over Is
states.

tional Industrial Conference board,
upon which the Journal of Commerce
bases its comment, further shows that
