SOME KAJUOA!) FACTS
"Mothor, what do you think of
thls7" said SI Hawkins as bo glanced
up from n closo reading of tho latest
consus roport (ono of tho hundreds
sent to him by his rcprooontnttvo In
congress). "According to theso fig
urcs, wo farmors havo droppod to
socotid placo ns omployora of labor.
"In 1010 thero wore 0,340,357
farms In tho United States, valuod,
with tholr Improvements, at $34,
081,607,000, and during tho samo
j oar tho farmers paid out In wages
$046,012,000. That reads woll, but
In this roport from tho Interstate
commorco commission I find that In
tho samo year tho railroads of tho
United Statos paid for labor tho enor
mous sum of $1,143,726,306, nearly
doublo what tho farmem paid for
tholr labor In tho samo year.
"My opinion lias been, when rail
road officials said that thoy wuro
tho grcatost employers of labor, and
tbnt thoroforo, Injury to tho rail
Toads was bound to effect business In
terests of tho whole country, that
thoy woro talking for effect. Ilut
with thoso flgurcti boforo mo, prov
ing boyond doubt that with an army
of 1,000,420 omploycA and a payroll
nearly twlco that of all of tho fann
ers In tho country. I am forced to
altor that opinion consldorable."
"Land sakes!" oxclalmed Mrs.
Hawkins, bringing her mathemati
cal, talontB quickly Into piny, "thoso
tallroad follows got an avorago of
noarly $700 a year; no wonder they
can wonr bluo sultn'and braos but
tons. Why, that Is about three times
as much as wo pay our hlrod man,
John, and ho works 13 hours every
day of tho yoar, oxcopt on Fourth of
July and Circus Day. Maybe If tho
railroads mndo their men work like
tho farmors do, tho fnrmors would
not havo to take second placo as tho
groatost employers of labor."
"Yos, and I hco In tho papers,"
said SI, as ho bont closor to tho con
sus roport, "tint soma of theso rail
road chaps running trains only work
ono-thlrd or two-thirds of tho time."
