WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. L.
The American wage Garner averages
the highest rate of pay ever given to
any worker in the history of the
world.
The Department of Labor has an
nounced the results of studies in which
it tabulated the wages paid to nearly
100000 members of organized trades
in Sc cities throughout the country.
In all the trades taken collectively
the hourly union wage rate for 1924
was the highest on record. It was
125 per cent higher than in 1918 and
AZ per cent higher than in 1919 when
the upward climb Of wages was get
ting its greatest momentum as a re-
suit of war conditions. Despite the
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1925-01-02

fact that the many lines Of business
saw less activity in 1924 than in 1928,
the 1924 wage average was AZ per
cent higher than in 1919 compared
with Sc per cent higher in 1929
With a short interruption in 1922
wages have been climbing steadily in
the last 10 years. The year 1921 was
a poor business year but this was not
reflected in the wage level of that
year when wages averaged slightly
higher than in 1920. However, dur
ing 1921 enough reductions were
brought about so that the 1922 level
did show a drop. This was more
than wiped out the following year,
which showed wages SO per cent above
1919.
