Excerpt from Wages and Trade in Manufacturing Industries in America and in Europe The question of labor and wages is the one question which ought most to concern American economists and American states men. For the great body of our seventeen million male workers are wage-earners averaging less than $400 per year; and the greatest good of the greatest number is the purpose of the American nation. The protectionists have claimed that a protective tariff raises wages. This is the last ditch Of their argument. There began to be doubt about the truth of this claim. Consequently the New York Tribune, the organ of the protectionists, sent a Special cor respondent to Europe to Obtain evidence in support Of it. Mr. Robert P. Porter, who had been special agent of the Census as to statistics of wealth and secretary of the Tariff Commission, was secured for this purpose. Mr. Porter did what he was sent to do. He presented a picture Of the distress of England under free trade and of the prosperity of France and Germany under a protective tariff that was most of a surprise to those who knew most of those countries.

Excerpt from Wages and Hours in American Manufacturing Industries: July, 1914 January, 1922 The investigation did not include executives, office and sales force, foremen or assistants, clerical workers or others paid on a salary basis. The classification of wage data closely follows that pursued by the Conference Board in previous wage studies. The wage earners were first divided by sex, and then into the occupa tional classifications of male common or 'unskilled labor, and male all other labor. Common or unskilled labor is de fined as the general group that performs the cruder muscle tasks for which no previous training 13 required. All other labor is composed of the remainder of semi-skilled and skilled labor of all kinds, which has some degree of training. All kinds of workers are contained in the latter classification, from those who rank just above common laborers to the most highly skilled wage earners. The dividing line between these two groups is difficult to determine, but this classification follows the general understanding as to the distinction implied in these terms. In the, charts and tables contained in this report, the word skilled refers to the male workers in the all' other group.
