The average wage for school teach ers in Kansas has more than doubled : la the past ten years. During the last two years the International Brotherhood of Stationary Firemen has gained 9,900 members. Organized labor in Atlanta, Ga., has purchased a site and will soon begin the erection of a 30,000 labor ten . The highest oriental wages are paid l .V- T)k llfn.tlM U m1 lnn.it 1U IUO uiiiyt'iuci nuug wo viuiumi laborer gets from twenty to fifty cents a day. Fewer women over sixteen years of age are employed In the southern cot ton mills than in the mills of the New England states. During the last year the Boot and Shoe Workers' International Union has paid in sick, disability and death benefice a total of $89,297.23. In tbe various metal Industries of Belgium nearly halt the men work from nlnn In tpn hours a rift v. and the majority of the rest from ten to eleven. v V ' Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentuc ky, Louisiana, South Carolina and Ten nessee all have laws requiring all em ployers to provide seats for their fe male emDloves. In the United States the average productivity of the the workingman la $2,400 a year, while in England the average productivity of the workman la only $556 a year. The American Brotherhood, an in dependent organization of blacksmiths In New York, has, by unanimous vote. decided to affiliate with the International Brotherhood of Blacksmiths and Helpers. ' The average rate of wages paid to skilled women sewing machine operators in the United State's varies from $1.50 to $2 a day. The same class of labor in France, Germany and Switz erland receives from 30 to 50 cents , a day. " At a recent meeting of the United Hebrew Trades, In Manhattan, N. Y., It was decided to aid the tailors In the organizing campaign they are' ' now - carrying on to get all the trades In the country into the union, as a preliminary preparation for a general strike in 1912.

Short Weights One man In Indianapolis has saved

sands of dollars. He has saved it for the most In living expenses. For him $1,200 a year from which it may but the servlse to the community which

The British Government remodeled the system of weights and measures on his recommendations. Herbert Knox Smith acting for the government of the United States has written him letters of praise. And be it was who set the city of New York upon its work of seeing that the people of that city receive what they pay for, Early in the spring of this year Mr. Isidor Wulf son commonly known as "the friend of the people" organized the Housewives Protective Association. . .. ; . -'V "- s Tbe plan of this organization was to make housewives a part of the city department of weights and measures. Isidor Wulfson has estimated that ten per cent of the products which people pay for come to them in short measure! It is obviously impossible for one man to inspect the whole city and it is impossible for women who nave short weight and measure to do anything. But by supplying the women with the tested measures and tested scales evidence can be accumulated and cheats prosecuted by the use of the evidence. A call into Isidor Wulfson's office will bring him hurrying. During the last summer his campaign against ice wagon drivers was valiant service against a grave abuse when the poor were crying for relief. ; This winter he is preparing to continue his efforts to stop short weight

' among coal dealers.

Wulfson is on the go from morning to night. i And many an offender has been brought into court. The situation is now that dealers of all sorts in Indianapolis are very scrupulous that their weights and measures register accurately there is a popular demand for this and they voluntarily call in Wulfson to test the measures and the scales from time to time for the women of Indianapolis are careful in these days of the coBtly commodities to see that they get full measure. As far as the consumer is concerned it makes very little difference to him whether the weights are short through carelessness, imperfections of machinery or through down right fraud. But we say in all fairness at the 6tart that we do not believe that a very large percent of dealers in household commodities in Richmond deliberately set out with the intention of defrauding. They have, many of them, simply continued old trade customs which ire as bad In themselves, but which extend throughout the entire trade. A strawberry box does not mean any standard measure. The man who sells the strawberries did not make the box -be bought them and he probably never tested them. A sack of flour does not necessarily hold the weight sometimes, or more frquently left off you simply ask for so much flour and receive the sack. Sugar likewise,1 and salt, sometimes, cdmes in measures which the dealer never touches. Wulfson declares that the only way to do is to buy by weight. His office is full of confiscated weights and measures many of which tbe dealers were really not guilty of using intentionally, ' But it all comes out of the pay envelope. This situation is so general in all parts of the country that the statistics from one city are very near the percentages of others. So it is interesting to find actual statistics and to compare them. Out of 350 tests made in Philadelphia not long ago 70 per cent of the tests showed a shortage. Perhaps they will be interesting. Only one of fifteen tests of coal showed a full legal ton of 2240 pounds and this one was 141 pounds overweight; two came within the legal limit of forty pounds. The greatest shortage amounted to 393 pounds on a ton. The shortage on the total amount purchased was over 6, per cent. .' Of 225 weight tests of groceries, 153 showed a shortage and 58 an excess, the average shortage being 70 per cent and tbe average excess being 25 per cent. - Of fifty measure tests of groceries, forty-six showed a shortage, the shortage being 13 per cent on the total purchases. " Of twenty tests of meats at the Reading Terminal Market, fourteen were short in weight, the greatest excess on any tests being 7 per cent, the greatest shortage, 21 per cent. Of twenty tests of meats and provisions at the two markets belonging to the city, twelve showed a shortage, and, with two exceptions, these shortages were on high-priced commodities. With two exceptions, also, the tests showing an excess were on low-priced commodities. The greatest excess was 20 per cent, the greatest shortage 14 per cent. Of ten purchases of bread, eight weighed less than a pound, and none was sold by the pound, as the law requires. Of 200 samples of drygoods. 116 were short and . 80 in excess. It will be noticed that these teats generally show that the customer is at a disadvantage in purchasing the articles of everyday consumption. The reason for this condition Is twofold: First, the lack of an administrative department or bureau to enforce existing lays; second, the

presence on the statute books of certain laws which need to be amended

or supplemented to fit present conditions. It seems to the Palladium that while the town is beginning on the subject of -the high cost of living that it bad better consider whether the people are receiving what they pay for. Certainly ' if conditions are all that they should be in Richmond there is no dealer who will protest against such a movement, for any dealer found with perfect weight and low prices is not apt to suffer in his trade relations with his customers. In fact we should like to see this movement begin with the very sellers of household necessities themselves. We should like to see the coal dealers and the ice company, the grocers and the butchers, tbe dairy men and the market master and other city :, authorities work together.

We have already stated that sixty-eight miles away from Richmond there is a man who has proved his worth in his own town and who has an international reputation of the highest sort. . It is his passion to serve the people. It would require very little effort to ascertain whether Mr. Isidor Wulfson might not come to Richmond and tell the people here what can be done to save about ten per cent of their incomes. ' That seems to us one of the next steps in attacking the problem of . the high cost of living.

R. II. S. ORCHESTRA

; Earhart Organizes a School Body With 58 Pieces. ' ' in in inn ' O . The orchestra of the high school has just been organized by its leader Prof. Will Earhart, and gives promise of making the season of 1911-1912 the most successful in its existence. The pieces, exceeds in size that of the most flourishing time in the past by six persons. The leader says, howev er, that his proteges are not only more in number, but with a little experience, should produce better music than ever before. The greatest increase has been in the number of stringed instruments, but the wood wind and brass contingents are at least holding their own. Prof. Earhart says that he expects that a month or so will be necessary to fill the holes made by graduation last June. At this time, Hubert Smith, Roland Nusbaum, Ralph Hasemeier, Royden Parks, Marguerite Hasemeier, Blanche Byer, Fred Rossiter, and Jes se Barnes all left school. He is con f ident that his new material needs only a little practice to be able to make up for the loss of these players. Personnel of the Orchestra. First Volins J.
