Bureau of Statistics of That
City Puts It-at Ilead of
List of Cities Employing
Labor, in Various Capacities.
(Coltes Press Lnw Wire.) -
Chicago, Ded, 18. Chicago labor la
the best paid in the world. It haa been
well known faot that American work
ers received better hour ratea than the
sona of Martha in other lands, but there
has been a general Impression that east
ern cities, such as New York, Boston
and Philadelphia, were most generous In
the matter of the laborers' payroll,
Now the Chicago bureau of statistics
has come forward with figures for the
46 prlnclpaK trades, showing; that in 21
of these the highest hour rates in eight
selected cities Chioagov . New Tork,
Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, Cleve
land, Buffalo and Plttuburg are paid
here. ;
Moreover, tha highest wage per hour
paid in all the. cities to a class of work
ers is given In Chicago. Ths linotype
operator gets an average of nearly 7)
cents an hour rn Chicago, which seta
him up aa the king pin of all the Amer
ican labor world in the matter of
wages.
Baltimore, on the other hand, haa the
dubious honor of paying the small wage,
flvlnpr her woman tobacco stemmers but
cents an hour, which means 64 cents
In a union day.
The statistics show one thing quits
clearly relative to the New York situa
tion. Workers generally believe that
the' building trades there are paid much
more than they are In any other city.
Tet New Tork exceeda Chicago in wage
paid to only eight divisions of this line
of effort.
The - Manhattan' bricklayers get TO
cents an hour as compared with (1
cents and a fraction in Chicago and
carpenters receive 4 cents an hour more,
while this city has the supremacy of
four of the building trades. New York's
third top wage in the building trades is
that of the plumbers, which, however,
la less than a penny In advance of that
paid the Chicago plumber.
The other hour wages in which New
York leads are those of machine cloth
ing cutters, Sundry smiths, foundry la
borers, patternmakers in wood, book
binders and book compositors and ater
eotype operators.
Boston, owing to the keenness of lta
eultured Inhabitants for antique and
arts craft furniture, pays its cabinet
makers, sawyers, upholsterers and var
ntshers markedly more than is given for
similar work In any other of ths eight
cities in the list
Ths Hub also leads in the wages paid
to municipal street laborers, which
seems to indicate that jobs determined
by political pull still command the same
Increased pay as compared with sim
ilar work done under private contract
There is a difference of 8 cents an hour
in the prices paid in Boston for this
work done privately and publicly.

TWO ANTHONYS
WEIBDLY LIKE
(Special IMipateh to Th Journal.)
New Tork, Dso. 12. Colncidencea re
markable in character and numerous in
happening have characterized the Uvea
of George W. Anthony of Burlington,
N. J., and George W. Anthony of Bur
lington. N. C. They have seldom met
and are not of kin, and yet there havs
been a series of parallel occurrences in
their careers that have lent to each a
singular interest in the other.
The mistake of a postal clerk who
sent a letter addressed to the Anthony
of New Jersey to the Anthony of North
Carolina, and which was opened by the
latter in the belief it was meant for
him, brought about their meetinsr. The
letter dealt of the civil war and It
spoke of battles in which the North
Carolina man had participated, but
clearly it was not for him. H looked
again at the envelope and there found
the correct address. He redirected it to
the Jersey man and with it sent a letter
of explanation.
Correspondence followed and it was
found that both the Anthonys, one In
the blue and the other in the gray, had
been drummer boys in regiments op
posed to each other in many battles.
The one was released and the other
mustered out on exactly the same day,
and each went back to his home and
engaged in business. Both were suc
cessful, the Jersey man in a large mar
ket housA and the southerner in a lucra
tive lumber trade.
When they met, as a result of corre
spondence, both were widowers and, in
the recital of their sorrows they learned
that each had lost his wife at about the
earns time. Now and then a set of ex- j
perlmences has been duplicated. Re
cently, Anthony,' the northerner, tqok
to himself a second wife. Upon his re
turn from his honeymoon he found a
note r nounclng the marriage of his
friend in North Carolina. Both are
guessing now as to what experience, if
any, they may next share in common.
