Wages for an eight-hour dcy range from 400 to 1.200 marks, making a monthly pay check of approximately 9.600 to 31,200. An agreement has heen effected whereby shoemakers and cabinetmakers receive from 67.15 10 116.55 marks an hour. The trunk- makers have been striking for an hourly wage of 100 marks. Editors Get $3.19 Per Month. Tn September the salaries of Ger- man newspaper editors were fixed by agreement to range from 15,000 marks 21.500.
