Welfare Conference, which declares
the figures indicate that great NUM-
bers Of worklngmen in the United
States are not receiving wages high
enough to support family in decent
comfort. The council goes On 10 say:
Section Men Poorly PAID
about 200. 900 section men On Class
railroads last year made In average
of $7s month; $4,000 extra gang
men made s75 a month"; $4,000 bridge
and crossing tenders made SIS B
month; 10000 shop labofers made $50
a month. All Of these worked an
average Of more than 3 hours q day
and so memuch more than that Their
other railroads are considered.
"Their wages were. for The most
part, fixed by the Railroad Labor
Board on the basis Of what e paid for
similar work elsewhere. Il is prob
able that the Railroad Labor Board
put the sum below what Is paid in
many other industries but It did not
miss the amount more than 80 or $50
3 month.
"a year ago unslkilled men in %
factory industries were making an
average Of about ts2 week, accord
ing to a report Of an employers or
ganization, the National Industrial
Conference Board. This is four or five
dollars q week more than the rail-
roads gave common labor But even
this amount is not living wage. It
is equivalent to about $3.50 year in
pfe-war prices.
Millions Get Pittance.
"A few months ago the United
States Bureau Of Labor Statistics in
vestigated a crosa-section of wage and
salary workers in q cities and towns
and found th4t over half Of the men
who were heads Of families made less
than $3.50 year and about fourth
made under 81 .0b0 q year. More than
so per cent Of the men in the cotton
industry get under $50 a week, &C.
cording to the same bureau.
There are something over ten mil
lion Iaborers in the United States and
four and quarter million semi
skilled workers. Close to another five
million are skilled. Three and half
million are clerks and the like. sAn-
other three-q quarters Of million are
servants. Here are 231k million wage
and salary workers, all of whom are
males. Relatively few of the workers
get $25 a week. Most Of them get
between S17.6O and $3.50 week.
Some receive less. Many cIassed as
semi4skilied are in about the same po4
sition as regards wages. One would
be not far wrong to estimate that
about half Of the men who work for
wages do not get family living
