In this connection we have already
called attention to the fact that the
annual report of the Bureau of Statis
tics of Labor of New York State for
1891 chronicles 1941 cases of increased
wages, 2085 cases of decrease in the
hours of labor—virtually* increase of
wages also—and only 411 cases of re
duced wages. Yet all that year the
Now York Times was loudly proclaim
ing that wages were generally falling.
