Mr. Wade explained that this information comes from a |vey of old-age insurance wage ac- | {counts made by the Bureau of OId- ' Age Insurance. The number of women with earn- ings credited to their accounts was 18,251,036, or 27.4 percent of the total |included in the study. The number of men for whom wages were re | ported was 21,906.658. ‘The to wages paid to women, as reported | by their employers, amounted to $4,335445432, while earnings re- ported for men totaled $22,489,- 1920,809. Taxable wages paid to 3,921 wo- men in Alaska amounted to § 897; the wages paid to 282 men amounted to $25927,482; or an average wage of $337 for women in Alaska compared to $917 as the av- erage wage for men. This differ- ence of $580 in the average vearly wage of men and women in Alaska is explainable by the fact that wo- men as a rule are primarily en ed in industry of a seasonal nature. : - PLUMBING, HEATING PERMITS GRANTED | Five building permits, plumbing and heating ir in seven houses here, were today by City Building Inspector Milton Lagergren.
