to even and 8 years.
These approvals bring the total
of codes now in effect to $40, some
of which cover so to 70 different,
and occasionally widely divergent
divisions.

err of 10 per cent. Minimum wage
is 40 cents an hour.

industry increases pay rolls an eS-
timated 1879 per cent over the 1888
total. The minimum also is 40
cents for males and 80 cents for
women.

shows an increase in employment
(mid- March 1880 over the spring
of 1888 of 50 per cent, which the
code. effective March Is, Further
increased.
The horseshoe industry was deS
scribed as "substantial though rap
idly declining" At only 14h per
cent of capacity in 1888. neverthe-
less it has reduced hours to 40
week, with minimum pay to ur-
skilled workers of 40 cents an hour
in the north and 80 in the south,
