T. B. Wilson, vice president and
general manager Of the Louisville Gas
and Electric Company says:
THAT twenty-five or thirty years
ago mechanics resented the introduc-
ton of electric motors in factories
because they were of the opinion that
motor driven machinery reduced the
number of men necessary to operate
the factory, and, in the course of time
would cause great deal of unem-
ployment and reduction in wage
scale.
THAT in spite Of this early opposi-
ton to motor driven machinery, more.
and more industries became electro
fed until today the Unite States leads
the entire world in horsepower per
capita and our mechanics receive the
highest wages.
THAT statistics prove that the wages
of labor in country are almost di-
rectly proportionate to, the horse
power per capita.
THAT intensive power development
means quantity production, high
wages, improved living conditions
and general prosperity.
THE public utilities have been re-
sponsible for much Of our nations
progress. prosperity and remarkable
Improvement in Lying conditions.

SMALL LABOR DEMAND

A weak demand with an average
supply of farm help available for
harvest, is shown by survey made
by the Minnesota Farm Bureau for
July. The reports at present do not
indicate demand sufficient to war
rant asking the railroads for special
harvest hand rates this year. Crop
conditions have much to do with the,
labor situation. The Farm Bureaus
survey shows the average day wage
for harvest and haying to be 1885
and the monthly wage averages $751;.
being very little different from the
average wage prevailing year ago
for this class of labor.
