Skyscraper management In Chicago iJias attained a height , of systemlzed -tblff' that closely resembles graft, ior none of the necessary supplies of tenants are overlooked In the exac . -turns of tribute. . For the privilege -of furnishing the clean towels a towel -.supply company pays ', a " percentage and a ', liberal percentage too. Of course the; city water never has re covered Us reputation since the days ; r when It was daily polluted with sew age and consequently the "spring wa-l 'ter" for a big building Is an item that i runs into thousand of dollars a month. To one new building which will be 'Opened May 1 the company that fur nishes the supply of drinking water pays almost half of its gross collec tions, The iceman pays tribute from "ls sales of Ice and even the sign jmlnters who letter the doors and win dows find they have to pay a percent age to the building management if : they . don't want to have unexpected obstacles put in the way of their work.1 On the face of It ostensibly the build ing has nothing to do with any of the people, who sell towels or ice, or sta tionery to the tenants but actually the Tevenues of these side lines will almost-equal the net amounts from the 'rentals after Janitor service has been deducted. The towel man, the water company, the Iceman or sign painter who enters' where lie is not wanted is sure to flnd tiMit the aocidents to his supplies, the delays on the freight el evators and other vexatious things be come- so serious that it Is impossible to do business and finally he aban dons' thu; building to the concession aries and they of course, take advan tage of the. situation and put up "the price of living" to the tenants. In spite of the enormous increase of of fice buildings the pressure for offices of a certain class steadily has shoved the price per square foot of floor space upwards until the maximum .na omliaH at ahmit t2 nnr flnuare HUD ICaVIIVU Mb Mfwww 4"- 7 j foot per year. ; Comparatively small offices therefore cost from f 60 to $100 a month. . But in addition the Indirect revenue to the building through the side lines also has increased because the exactions of the building are ad deij to the cost of the artciles In every case and the petty monopolies that are granted embolden ' some of them to tack on an extra 25 per cent for luck. .'

The Lancashire and Cheshire Min ers' Federation has changed Usrules so as to admit women mine workers as well as men to its membership. . The manufacturing industries of the United States employ as wage earners 6,615,046 persons, or almost 14 1-2 per cent of the total population. Plans are being laid ultimately , to unite all the workers in the metal and machine industry in New York in c metal workers' Industrial uu'.on. . Practical prohibition of child' labor of any knd in the District of Columbia Is contemplated In a bill Introduced in the house of representatives by Con gressman Cox of Ohio. All .the. unions affiliated with the Molders' union of North America will vote on a proposition to hold a conven tion of the international body this year, none having been held in five years. ' If it carries the convention will be held in Milwaukee, Wis., next September. After being out for two days the striking carpenters of Des Moines, la., returned to work, the employers having granted their demand for an Increase of wages amounting to 10 cents an hour. The men already had been granted the eight-hour day soma time ago by their employers. The biennial scale report of the In ternational' ' Typographical union shows that increases obtained fcr the members of the union will bring the total earned to figures at least $3,000, 000 greater in 1912 than in 19il. The report states that no other organiza tion can show such an increase.
