IN LOS ANGELES.
Wages Paid and Oost of Living in the
Boomed Oity.
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.

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.

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.
