HOW LABOR FARES IN MEXICO. Report of a Special Commission of Work-* ingmen, They Advise Their Fellows Not to Go There Unless They Take Enough Money to Bring Them Back. The committee of the Trade and Labor As- sembly of Chicago, sent to Mexico by that, organization _“‘to investigate the condition of the laboring classes of that country,” has returned to Chicago, and submitted its report at the meeting of the assembly yes- terday afternoon. The delegates claimed, in submitting their report, that they carried out thelr mission in an unbiased and non-partisan manner, and they simply pictured the low state of tne working classes as it was without reference to political questions. There were many ejaculations of astonishment at the pitiable pictures presented, and the motion to adopt the report called forth but little debate. The report was adopted by an almost unanimous vote, only two members ing in opposition to it. The report said in part: “Your committee would caution American workingmen against going to Mexico without sufficient funds to bring them back, or to have em-.. ployment secured before going there, or they will be obliged to subsist on cactus and. the sap of the tequilla plant while doing the country. On asking an American who was conducting a prosperous business in one of the cities which your committee visited why it was that the foreigners all seemed to be making money, no matter what business they were engaged in, he, with character- istic Yankee frankness, replied: “The la- borer here is different from the laborer in the states. Here labor is cheap, and we - have no brains to contend with.’ e “The first stop made by your committee was at El Paso, Tex., where we investi- gated the wages paid and the condition of the American laborers. From that point we crossed to the City of Juarez, but two miles from El Paso. At this place a complete change met the eye—everything assuming a Mexican air—and we realized that the time had arrived when the real duties of our mission began. We took observations of the people as to their appearance, mode of living, social conditions, wages paid and prices of commodities, and were surprised at the contrast as compared with condi- tions, etc., at El Paso. Not a Natearal Comparison. “The two peoples, as to their habits, tastes, customs and modes of life, are such that a comparison is unnatural. Life is re- garded from very different standpoints, as they live under different conditions, inas- much as the Mexican laborer Is apparently | content with the four bare walis of his ten-foot square adobe hut, with nothing in- side but the ground to sleep on, a shawl or blanket to cover or wrap himself up in, a dish of tortilles (corn pancakes) and Ng joles (beans) for his frugal meal, and in a large number of cases a little pig, a dog and a chicken or two of the game cock order sharing his scant quarters, while the Amer- ican laborer across the line has all the com- ae of home, and many of the luxuries of ‘Wages in Mexico ,except skilled and steady mechanics—always foreigners—are very low. On railroads engineers (Ameri- cans) on passenger trains receive $210 per month, while the firemen (Mexican) receive $1.85 per day; freight engineers (American), per month; firemen (Mexican), $1.50 to $1.75 per day; passenger conductors (Amer- canican), $15) per month; brakemen (Mex- ican), $1.50 per day; freight conductors (American), $200 per month; brakemen (Mexican), $57 to $63 per month; Pullman conductors, $80 per month (American Money), and the porter, $30 per month (American money), with $ per month extra for being able to speak Spanish. The na- tional soldiers (or regular army) of Mexico, called rurales, and who are all ex-bandits, receive $1 per day. In a broom factory near the depot at Jimenez the men are pald 50 cents; women and children,25 to 374% cents per day. In the cotton mills, cotton- sced of] mills and soap factory at Torreon men are paid 37% to 3) cents; women and children, 25 cents per day. A carcahor (pub- lic carrier) has a rate of 12% cents per hour, but you can hire him for from 25 to cents per day. Wages Cost of Liviag. mmon laborers can be hired for 18 to 50 cents per day. House servants, male or female, receive $3 to $ per month and board themselves. In or near cities peons live in adobe houses and pay a rental of % @ year for the ground that‘ the house stands on. When leaving this for another location, all ‘improvements’ the peon has made go to the landlord or owner of the land, who pays no taxes whatever on the lend. “The average cost of the necessities of life for a peon family of five is 25 cents per day, and clothing for the same costs about $20 per year. “The day's work in Mexico runs from _ ten to fourteen hours. The bakers work twenty hours, and workmen who take work to thelr homes work as many hours as they please. The Mexican laborer works easy, compared with the American laborer,except the carrier, who bears enormous burdens on his back all day without manifesting fa- tigue. The question of shorter hours to Mexico is a long way off for a country in which labor is so cheap and plentiful that it is offered as an inducement to bring for- eign capital in, and its toilers will be com- pelled to work as many hours as they are physically able, and, thanks to organized labor, or the American workinman would be in the same condition today as his Mexican brother.” Tabular Statements. Accompanying the report of the commis- sion were elaborate tables showing the comparative prices of commodities at Chi- cago and El Paso, Tex., in American money, and at four Mexican cities in Mex!- can moncy (worth 50 cents American money) and the average rate of wages per diem in both kinds of mioney in the United States and Mexico, The prices of manufactured articles were in most cases about twice these at Chicago. A sewing machine sell- ing at $40 at Chicago sold for $65 at EI Paso; at $5 in Mexico Shoes selling for $2 in Chicago sold for $5 in Mexico. In scme articles there was not this difference, the price of a woolen suit being the same in both countries. Butter, sugar and tea, sirup and canned fruit are esteemed luxur- jes, and cost much more than twice as much in Mexican money. The tables of average rate of wages in the two countries merely give in detail what the report stated in general terms, that the laborer was much worse off in Mexico than in the United States. e+ MURPHY'S TRIAL. CAPT. United States Comminsioner Smith Re- fuses to Transfer It to Philadciphia. When the hearing in the Laurada case, wherein Captain Edward Murphy is charged with violating the neutrality laws of the United States, was resumed Saturday at Wilmington, Del., United States District Attorney Vandegrift made a motion to have the case transferred to Philadelphia, where he said the alleged expedition had been set on foot.

United States Commissioner Smith de cided that Captain Murphy must be tr in Delaware and set January 12 as the dat for the trial. ———__+e5— To Enforce a Judgment. To enforce a judgment of $225, Thos. KE. Young has filed a bill in equity against the Capitol Hill Brick Company, a West Virginia corporation, and others, praying that a receiver be appointed to wind up the affairs of the company and divide its as- sets among its creditors. Attorneys Chapin Brown and Arthur O'Connor represent the complainants, ger eat Smart Young Man. From Youth's Companion. Wonderful things happened when old peo- ple were young—if the memory of old peop- ple is to be trusted. “My young friends,” said a lecturer in the Cornville Academy lyceum course, “let me urge upon you the necessity of not only reading good books, but of owning them, so that you may have recourse to them at any time. Why, when I was a young man I used frequently to work hard all night to earn money to buy books, and then get up before daylight to read them.”
