Wages Here and in Europe
i Socialists Populists and other
discontented tactions tell us that
the wages of workingmen are low
and always will be until our sys-
tem of government is changed.
They are low but only when com-
pared with the incomes of the
wealthy few. Some time ago we
showed from statistics compiled
by Labor Commissioner Wright
; that the workingman's condition
in the United States had been im-
proving right along with a few
. brief periods oi interruption for
half a century and more. "Wages
have increased and the cost of
living has decreased. Besides he
eniovs manv conveniences now at
little or no cost which were not
j .'
bv
to be had 50 years ago even
the wealthy.
Compared with the price of la-
bor in other countries mechanics
and workingmen generally in the
United States are well paid as
they should be. The Sqptember
number of "Consular Iteports" a
monthly publication issued by the
Bureau of Statistics at Washing-
ton contains considerable infor
mation on wages in Europe and
. other parts of the world hng-
I land pays better wages than any
! country on the Continent and yet
j the average workingman in the
British Isles earns only about a
third as much as his labor would
bring in the United States.
What would our bricklayers say
to receiving but $7.50 a week?
According to this report the wag-
es of such mechanics average no
more in England counting only
days on which ihey work. On
the continent the average is still
less only $5.74 in France $5.21
in Switzerland $4.80 in Holland
in iioiianu
$1.58 in Belgium $4.21 in Gernia-

to $7.02 in American money while
the average for the rest of France
is below $5. In Copenhagen they
are paid $7 and iu other
parts of:
Denmark much less
Hod carriers earn as much in
St. Louis in a day as they do in
most European cities in a week.
The strike of our hod carriers last
spring was for $3.50 a day the
wages they were then receiving
being but $3. Such labor in Italy
is paid but $1.70 a week. From
that the weekly allowance increas-
es in European countries to $4.94

the list as usual.

Considerably hieher wages are

'paid in Australia New Zealand
I and Canada than in Europe but
I much lower than in the United
States. Nor is the cost of living
any more here than there. Prices
of commodities are on the whole
some lower in Europe than in the
United States but the difference
is slight in comparison with the
difference in wages.
The American workman is fav-
ored too in respect to. working
hours. Very few mechanics here
put in more than 60 hoars a week.
We have thousands in St. Louis
who work but eight hours a day
or 48 per week. A considerable

rule is to begin work at sunrise
and quit at sunset with but an
hour's intermission in winter and
two shorter ones in summer for
meals.
While the workingman's condi-
tion in the United States is far
from what we should like to see
it even Poplists and Socialists
must admit that it is a great deal
better than that of his fellow toil-

Beport of Fire Department.
J. 6. Lowdon president Abi-
lene Fire Department :
Deab Sib In accordance with
the city ordinance governing the
Fire Department it becomes my
dutyas chief engineer to present
them from crackingto you my Seventh Annual Beport
of the Fire Department of the city
of Abilene for the fiscal year end-
ing Nov. 8 1S95. The report will
be found to contain statements of
the amount of expenditures num-
ber of men in the department a
record of all tires and alarms as
well as the causes thereof which
have occurred during 'the past
year and the losses and insurance
as nearly as could be ascertained
also an inventory of the property
of the city in charge of the Fire
Department and such other infor-
mation as is thought proper for
your consideration.
The permanent force of the De-
partment . is composed mostly of
young men and at the present
time consists of one chief two as-
sistant chiefs and fifty-two men.
There are at the present time m
the service three horses all in
good condition and properly train-
ed to their work. All the appar-
atus is kept in the best condition
possible and at the present time
consists of two hose carts and one
Preston hose wagon one hook and
1 ladder truck and eighteen hundred
I feet of hose niue hundred feet of
1 which is rubber and nine hundred
ifeet of cotton. Included in the
quantitv of rubber hose namedj
abollt fonr hundred fw will soon
become unreliable all of it having
bcen iu the service nine vears.
i)Urin the year just closed the
alarms. The area which the De-
partmeiit is expected to protect is
about four squarc miics. In view
of thls large are.lt the promptness
au(1 etticiency of the Department
; hpmHv shown in th ft that
the losses by lire are kept as low
as they are. No lire was allowed
to reach serious proportions. The
losses by ire during the year
amounted to $7804.50. The insur-

town of its size in the state. It
may be said as it has been that
we are very lucky in never having
been visited by such ires as oc-
cur elsewhere. There is awre
than luck in it ; it is the proper
means vigilance and intelligent
application of the best known
methods of fire fighting. I renew
my recommendations of last year
that the city provide a system of
street fire alarms of at least fif-
teen boxes or more if possible
for it must be plain to all that the
greater the number of boxes the
quicker the alarm jean be turned
in with a consequent increased
efficiency of the Department. This
is like having a great number of
tire plugs. It costs 32 to put in
a fire plug. If there was one. ev-
ery two hundred feet the quantity
of hose needed would be much
less. Now a section of hose fifty
feet long costs 950 with only
three years' guarantee while the
$32 fire pliu lasts practically a
lifetime. Ifthe fire plugs were as
numerous as suggested the city
would save the entire cost in the
saving of the wear and tear of hose
in five years. This increase in
the number of fire plugs is anoth-
er essential to the greater efficien
cy of our work which is the de-
sire of the citizens and conscien-
tious members of the Department.
With quick alarms and numerous
fire plugs the work of fighting the
tires can be properly done. Often
it is now needful to lay eight
hundred feet of hose to get water
on a .fire so scattering are the
plugs. If there was but two hun-
dred feet to be laid the first few
important minutes in fighting fires
could be utilized and the wear and
tear upon the extra six hundred
feet of hose could be avoided and
it is the first momenta which de-
cides the fate of the fire. It is
very gratifying to be able to state
that the Department has maintain-
ed throughout the year its high
standard of discipline and efficien-
cy. Looking to the future and
the possible necessity of trans-
forming a volunteer department
into a- paid one it is a matter of
vital importance that the Depart-
ment in organization and person-
nel should represent as nearly as
may be a perfect model. I attri-
bute the good showing of the De-
partment to its rapid movements
in responding to fires and the play
pipes and other apparatus being
in the hands of well-drilled men.
I wish to extend my thanks to
Mayor Wristen and the city coun-
cil for their uniform kindness to
us during the year. As In the
past years the citizens and the
ladies of the city have shown ma-
ny kindnesses and rendered the
Department material aid. This
has ever met with warm apprecia-
tion among the firemen and it is
fitting that this report should ex-
press the gratitude whith all have
felt and as well pay tribute to the
young ladies members of the De-
partment Misses Celia j&roves
Mary Bass and Kathsriner Yeiser
and to Miss Clara Harle 'at once
the sponsor the pride and the
light of the Department
In conclusion I wish to express
my thanks to Secretary Hard-
wicke for courtesies shown dur- .
ing the past year. The Depart-
ment bas been fortunate in having
as secretary a man who has prov-
en himself so prompt thorough.
efficient and obliging. I desire to
thank my two assistants Qua
Ackerman and B. G. Hall for
their hearty support and co-oper
