Secretary Royse of the State Banking ‘board expects to issue a report tomorrow of the bullding and loan associations of the atate, which will show that the total loans of the associations have increased over $430,000 during the last year. The report of 1501 showed loans aggregating $3,641,462. This year all of the assocla- gnal oo tions, except ome, Which has not yet re- | ported, show a total of $4,074,445, the net inecrease of those reporting being $433,000. ‘The delinquent company last year had | $34,000 of loans, so it will be seen that the inorease will be upward of $500,000. There has been a marked falling off in the number of shares in the smallor towns throughout the state, but the city associa- tions, almost without exception, showed a substantial fucrease, and it is expected that the total number of shares in force will not be far from last year's figures. Rejects Offers for School Land. Applications almost without number, all for the exerclse of the right to purchase state school land under lease contracts en out during the period from 1878 to Educatioral Lands and Funds at an ad- journed meeting.

Slow progress in the construction of the Catholle orphanage near the bishop's ffian- slon, southeast of the city, is due to the shertage of bricklayers.

British Trade Oammiuicm Probes Jonditions in Iron and Bteel Industries. DEVELOPMENT DUE TO PERSISTENCY Amerieas Higher Grades of Labor and is Better Pnid Than Briton Worker, Workman (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—(Special)— Labor conditions in the iron and ateel in- dustries of the United States, in contrast with those in the United Kingdom and Eu- ropean countries generally, are discussed at great length by the commission appointed by the British Iron Trade association, which recently visited the United States ana thoroughly studied its great iron and steel manufacturing establishments. This commission consisted of J. S. Jeans, whose name is already well known to the people of the United States as an authority upon these subjects; Axel Sahlin, an expert in blast furnace work; Ebenczer Parkes, whose speclal study was sheet and bar-m!l practice, and Enoc James, who gave special attention to the stel industry, while Mr. Jeans' special work was to report upon the general economic and industrial conditions. Tho report of this commission, according to some extracts which have reached the treasury bureau of statistics, points out that in the United States the Iron and steel industries are face to face with conditions that make both the dearest and cheapest labor at present to be found In the world— the dearest in point of nominal remunera- tion and the cheapest in industrial and eco- nomic results, “The workmen at American mills,” says Mr. James in his share of the report, “‘are generally supposed to be working much harder than they do in this country (Eng- land), but this is not my own view. After much conversation with many men in vari- ous branches who had been employed in similar works in England, and some of them subject to my own control, the con- clusion I have arrived at is that the American workmen do mot work so hard as tho men in England. They have to be attentive In gulding operations and quick in manipulating levers and similarly easy work. They are also much more desirous of getting out larger quantities than in England. They are better pald and more regular in their attendance at the works, loss of time through drinking habits or otherwise not being tolerated.” Ame ‘fcan Workman Ambitious, Mr. Sahlin in his section of the report says that the American workman generally aspires to the higher grades of labor, leav- ing the purely manual labor to workmen trom other countrics. ‘““Thus it is,” he says, “that around American blast furnaces the American is found in a very decided minor- ity. He may be a foreman, master me- chanle, blast engineer, locomotive driver or stove tender, but he will not work elghty- four hours per week shoveling ore or wheel- the south the negroes and at the northern furnaces immigrants, mcstly Irish, Slavs or Italiun On this question of highet grade work and higher grade wages of American workmen attention is called to the fact that in cer- tain works Polish and Hungarian laborers were recciving $1 to $1.60 per day, while American rollers working alongside of them were receiving on the average $12 per day of eight hours. The report quotes Mr. Carnegle as s ing recently that the average wages of men in his employment at Homestead was $3 per day, or an average of £187 per annum, against an average of £68 per annum as the earnings of iron and steel workers in Lancashire and £79 per annum received by the steel rollers in South Wales. On the question of cost of living .Mr. Jeans de- clar the result of his inquirfes, that “the average American workman, in most of the essentials of lite, can live, mutatis mutandis, cheaply as he can in the old country. Human Factor Paramount. “The importance of the human factor,” says the London Statist in summarlzing this report, “is fully realized by all the members of the commission. It is all very well to admire American plants, the in- genuity of machine tools, the devices for saving labor and so forth. But, as Mr Sahlin remarks in his special report, ‘It is not the guns which win the battles, but the men who stand behind them.’ What the American admires and honors {s the ability to do; that capacity in a man, through his own sagacity, nerve, enterprise and skill to create and employ a fortune. Nobody s above his work. Everybody works, and for the sake of work, and thus has been pro- duced in America within a generation an industrial potentiality more wonderful and more to be feared than all the factories and machinery and ‘plants’ that these workers have created. “It comes to this, then, that American labor is mot more efficient, though it is better pald, than ours, and that American manufacturing development is due to the porsistent, unresting industry which once characterized the Briton, but for which trade unionism and athletics have given an apparently growing distaste. “All the reporters, however, seem struck with the strenuousness of American life. The comparative absence of a lelsured clasi is noted one of the prominent char- ncteristies of the principal cities and in- Austrial centers of the United States. In the avenue of industry a man without a regular business, or who s not concerned in the development of some industry, is as & fish out of water. Nowhere, we are assured, s the struggling youth more kindly encouraged, more generously alded and more readily trusted than in America, and it 1s pleasant to read of an esprit du corps among works managers which one would hardly expect to find in a land of such teverish competition.” ENDS LIFE BY STRANGULATION Falrbury Hotel Proprictor Arrested on Wife's Complaint Commits Suletde in a Cell. FAIRBURY, Neb., Aug. 22.—(Special Tel- egram.)—George Busboom, landlord of the Farmers' hotel, committed suicide last night in the county jail by hanging in his cell with a styip from a blanket.
