RAILWAY WAGES AND COST OF LIVING.

The Bureau of Railway Heonomics has completed the second

of its comparative studies of railway conditions in the United

States and the principal countries of Europe. This relates to
ihe wages paid railway employees and the cost of living, and is
based on the latest years for which comparetive data are

available.

The average daily compensation of railway employees of all
classes for the year 1910 was in the United States $2.23; in thy
United $4.05;
negligibly affecting the average, it was in Prussia-Hesse 81 cents,

Kingdom, excluding supplementary allowances

and in Austria 89 cents. The lowest paid railway employee in
the United States, the ordinary trackman, receives a greater com-
pensation than many of the railway employees of France, eyen
those of higher grades and with responsible duties. The com-
pensation of railway employees is from two to three times as
high in the United States as in Italy.

A recent report of the English Board of Trade on railway
wages shows that the average weekly pay of enginemen in the
United Kingdom in 1907 was $11.17; of firemen, $6.67. In the
same years enginemen on,American railways received an aver-
age weekly compensation of $25.80, counting six days to the
week, and firemen $15.24. Recent returns make it clear that
in 1942 enginemen and firemen in the United States are com-
pensated at rates of pay for specific runs that are two, three and
four times as high as the corresponding rates on representative
English railways. The annual compensation of enginemen in
the United States, as reported by two representative railway com-
panies, now ranges from $1,100 in switching service to over
$2,800 in passenger service, and of firemen from $700 in switch-
ing service to over $1,700 /n passenger service.

For Continental Hurope official returns in requisite detail are
not available for a later year than 1908. The salaries and allow-
ances of the typical engineman in Germany amounted for that
years to $646.58, in Austria to $870.80; of a fireman in Germany
enginemen on two of the principal railways of France ranged
to $424 in Austria to $532.03. The annual compensation of
in 1908 from $505.66 to $906.91, and of firemen from $324.24
to $595.98. In Italy enginemen received in 1908, salary and
allowances included, from $581.10 to $812.70 a year; firemen
from $330.30 to $475.05 a year.
the maximum compensation is received only after many years

In these continental countries

of service,

The average annual the
United States in 1908, on an estimated basis of 300 days’ service,
was $4,335; or firemen, $792. In this country the rate of com-
pensation to these employees does not depend on length of
service.

In Belgium enginemen received in 1907 from lo
$38.60 a month; firemen from $17.37 to $23.16 a month; con-
ductors and station employees from 46 cents to 96 cents a day.
In the United Statés, in the same year, 1907, enginemen average:!
on the of 2h days’ service $107.50 month; firemei:,
$63.50 a month; conductors, $38.69 a day, station employees from
$1.78 to $2.05 a day.

The rental of a three or four room house or flat is almost as
high in Berlin, Paris or London as throughout the United States,

cent more thar in Belgium, and 88 per cent. more than in the
United Kingdom.

States 17.8 per cent. more than in France or Germany; 35.3

It is well within the truth to estimate in a broad and gener
way that while the cost of living of a railway employee in the
United states is less than 50 per cent. higher than that of a corre-
sponding employee in the United Kingdom or on the continent,
his compensation averages over twice as great,—Bureau of Rail-

way Economics.

The Chance Canada has to at.

tain fame at the Olympic games
at Stockholm, Sweden, next
month is the great question just
now in athletic

4t is scarcely fair, nor vet con-
elusive, to condemn the team
that sails after the world’s great
est athletic honors on the per-
formances at the several Provin-

circles,

cial meets; at the Eaton games
at the Toronto [sland or at the
final trials at Montreal the other
day,

Conipared with the best times,
distanees and heights set by the
divisional final meets in the Un-
ited States on the same day, at
Chicago and Cambridge, Canad-

ians may as well stay at home if

these figures ave an_ infallible
sign of what the men will do at
Stockholm

There are, however, of
light that give Canada at least a
look in, The weather was far
from ideal at Montreal, and the
same conditions did not hold for
the Americans.

Can They Remain on Edge

What appeals to

to set the marks’ they did, the
Americans must have been on
the keenest possible edge. Some
of the performances were really
