Labor commissioner Tobin re turned during the latter part of last month from Los Angeles, where he had been engaged in the investigation of the labor indns tries. An Examiner reporter called on him yesterday, with & view of ascertaining the result of Iiis mission. "What is the most flourishing line of business at present in Los Angeles?" was asked. "Real estate unquestionably. There are more real-estate agents to the square yard in Los Angeles than can be found, I believe, in any city in the world." "They crowd almost atop of each other. On the ground floors of many buildings in the principal thoroughfares real-estate agents can be found busy at their desks, in the front portion, whilst the rear is'occupied by barber shops, rest aurants, etc. Listen to men talk ing, and ten to one the subject matter is the buying or selling of land. The whole country for miles around the city of Los Angeles is cut up into blocks and lots, and on them embryo streets are indi cated by small signs giving their sweet-sounding, celestial names. With the design of making the place more attractive, artificial stone sidewalks have been exten sively laid where lots are adver tised for sale. These lots com mand high prices. Within two or three miles of the city they bring from 2,000 upwards. In the neighborhood of Santa Monica I saw lots, 25 foot front, advertised for $500, and in the business por tion of the city lots are changing hands at 35,000 per fiont foot." 'Did you find many industrial establishments in Los Angeles?'' "No, sir, for the reason that the growth and development of Los Angeles has been so recent and so rapid that the citizens of L03 An geles have had their hands full in attending to the business and other wants of the thousands from the East who flock to their favored land." "The Los Angelites say that mills, factories, workshops, etc , will spring up in good tiuu What was once a small wooie'i mill has been converted into an ice factory. There nre some very large flour mills. The ivineries ol Los Angeles have a world-wide fame and give employment to a large number of hands." "Have you collected any statis tics relating to wages, hours of la bor, etc.?" "Yes, all irly time, while not on gaged in investigating the San Pedro strike was devoted to this subject. First, with regard to working women in Los Angeles. I found they were very extensive ly employed in dry goods, fancy goods, and such like establish ments as saleswomen. In tome large establishments even where men usually do the work in other cities, women are there found be hind the counters . Girls have been brought from the East to Los Angeles and San Diego to do house, chamber and dining room work. The Nadeau house which is the largest hotel in Los Angeles, has lately supplanted its colored waiters by girls from St. Louis. As they are uniformed alike, with white dresses, aprons and caps, they make a pretty picture as they Hit around, in the dining room. Sales-women are paid from 9 to $15 a week; chambermaids and waitresses from 25 to 40 a month with board; dressmakers and seamstresses $1 to 1.25 per day: domestics from 20 to 30 per month." As buildings can be seen every where in course of construction, it is harvest-time for mechanics in that line. It will be seen though that the difference in wages be tween San Francisco and Los An geles is very slight. When con tractors and builders in the latter city were confronted with a dearth of mechanics they flooded Eastern cities with circulars advising such to come where they could find high wages and cheap living. Hundreds of bricklayers and men of every craft in the building line did come from the overcrowded cities of the East, where work was slack. The following schedule of wages and hours of labor I ob tained from the best sources of in formation at my command. Every facility was afforded me by the workinirmen of Los Angeles, and everywhere I was treated with great courtesy and consideratien: ".Bricklayers, S4.0U to SO per da', nine hours; bakers, $50 to S75 Der month, ten hours, and fouiteen on Saturday; carpenters, S3 to $4 per day of nine hours; blacK- smiths, 2.50 to S3 per day; sheet- metal workers, S2.50 tod.oO,nine hours; plumbers 4 per day of nine hours, and their helpers, 5 to $7.50 per week; lathers, S3.50 per day; printers, $3.50 to 4 per day; plasterers, $5 per day, eight hours; wagon-makers S3 to $3.50 per day, nine hours; shoe-makers. 2.50 to $3.50 per day, nine hours; tin-roofers, $3 per day; coopers, $3 to $4 per day; hod-carriers, $2. 50 to $3.50, nine hours; street-car drivers, G0 per month or 18 cents per hour; 'longshoremen, $2.25 to 2.50 per day, ten hours; coast seamen, 40 to $50 per month; deep-water seamen, 35 per month; laborers, S1.50 to $2 a day without board." "What is thecost of living?" "Cost of living is necessarily unusually high in Los Angeles in consequence of the great influx of population. Hotels and boarding houses are all packed full. JNone of the former are at present con ducted on the European plan, as it does not pay as well as the Amer ican. "Wotkingmen pay from $4.50 to 0 per week for board. A small, single furnished room commands from 12 to $15 per month. Small unfurnished cottages of four to five rooms rent from $35 to $-10 per month. Water lis extra, and costs Sl.oO per month for a famity with 50 cents additional for lawn and 25 cents for a bathtub. Milk costs 10 cents per quart, or S2-50 per month. Fish is scarce. Salm on costs from 20 to 25 cents per pound. Fuel is very high. Soft co.il that used to sell for $14 per ton brings from $20 to 22.50. Wood .sells for from $15 to $16 pr cord. Koast beef retails from 12 to 15 cents, and steaks from 15 to 20 cents per pound. 9. F. Examiner 19. Ko Heciprooity iu That. Ottawa, Jan, 18. Tlie duty on American fresh fis-h imported into Canndd is atttactitig gi'tier.il at trading general attention in con nection with tlie fisheries commis sion sitting at Washington. An opposition paper to-d.ty points out that while Americans aamit fresh fish from Canada duty free, I he dominion government collects a duty on fish coming into Canada from the United States. This curious way of proving the al leged desire of the government for reciproctiy in natural products will be made the basis of a vig orous attack on the policy of the ministry in connection with the American relations early in the next session of the dominion house of commons. How They Kept Warm. Sitmngfiei.d, Ohio, Jan. 18. At Bambridge, Koss county, Ohio, there was a, fccns-ition to-day over the discovery that fifteen of its residents, including Charles Max ley, marshal of the town, have been engaged in systematically stealing coal from the cars of the Ohio Southern railroad. Word received at the headquarters of the road here to-day states that detect ive Sehultz, who has been working on tho case, made seven arrests, including Maxley, this morning. More arrests will follow. The ar rested men are in jail at Chilli cothe. A light lor Liberty, CoxsTAXTixoru:, Jan. 18. A convoy of prisoners, while being taken from South Russia to the Caucasus mutinied and attacked the engine-driver. The train was stopped and a desperate fight en sued, in which eight soldiers, two gendarmes and thirty-one prison ers were killed. 1 wenty-one pris oners escaped. Singers and public speakers find Avir's Oherrv Pectoral invaluable. It never fails to cleanse throat and strengthen the voice. An Inhospitable Farmer. New Haves-, Jan. 18. The three-masted schooner Ida JE. Zaiham, Captain Thatcher, from Boston for New York, went ashore last night at Merwin's point. The crew took to the yawl, reaching the shore after a hard struggle. They made their way to a farm house where shelter was refused to them, but were consigned to the barn, where they remained suffer ing terribly from the cold. Speaking of the treatment of the inhospitable farmer, one of the men said: "The barn was full of cracks and it was intensely cold. We were tired enough to sleep, but were obliged to keep walking all night. It is a wonder we were not frozen to death. One man had his stockings frozen to his feet. It wo had only been allowed to sleep on the floor of the kitchen we would have been grateful." It Was Never Mustered In. Washington, Jan. 18. Inquiry was made at the war department to-day in regard to the claim of the Forty-first Kentucky regiment of volunteers for back pay amount ing to about 150,000, which claim is based on the alleged fact that the regiment named did not com plete its organization and conse quently were not mustered in.
