these are followed by foreign countries arranged in a similar manner; (4) under each State or foreign country the sources of the information are then given; (5) under each source the sexes are arranged in the order of male, female, and not reported; (6) the hours of labor per week and the wages per day are then presented for each sex class.

MANNER IN WHICH COMPILATION SHOULD BE USED.

The following example shows the method of using the compilation: Let us suppose that it be desired to find the wages of carpenters in Great Britain in 1893. First find the table for carpenters, which appears in alphabetical order among the other occupations; follow the column for years until 1893 is found; follow the States and countries in 1893 until Great Britain is reached. Here it is found that according to information derived from report No. 578 male carpenters worked from 50 to 54 hours per week, and earned from $1.61 to $1.73 per day. Turning to the list of sources on page 29, report No. 578, which furnishes the quotation, is found to be Report on the Strikes and Lockouts of 1892, published by the Labor Department of the Board of Trade.

For a more complete understanding as to the form of the general table a section of that portion relating to boiler makers is given below:

The above section relates to the wages paid boiler makers for the years from 1839 to 1857. As will be seen, no wages for this occupation in the United States prior to 1844 were found. The first line shows that the report numbered 562 furnished a quotation for England for 1839; by reference to page 29, the specific name of the report numbered 562 is found to be "Miscellaneous Statistics of the United Kingdom, 1856-58," published by the Board of Trade of Great Britain. On the next line report 564 is quoted. This is found in the list of sources to be "Miscellaneous Statistics of the United Kingdom, 1859-61." The first report shows that boiler makers, the number not being reported, worked 58 hours per week and were paid 89 cents per day in England in 1839, while the second report shows that boiler makers, number not reported, worked 61 hours per week in England in 1840, and were paid wages as low as 61 cents and as high as $1.01 per day. Taking up the year 1856, for which data for both domestic and foreign wages are given, it will be seen that the data for the different States of the United States are given first, and these are followed by the data for foreign countries. The first statement for this year is for the State of Connecticut, and shows that the data were secured from the report numbered 190, which was that of the United States Senate Committee on Finance, entitled "Wholesale Prices, Wages, and Transportation." As in all domestic wages shown in this compilation, the number of the employees covered is given. In this particular instance 24 employees are included who are males, and the final columns show that the hours of labor worked per week were uniformly 60, while the lowest rate of pay was $1.20 per day, the highest $2.37, and the average $1.59. The data relating to other States and countries, for which quotations were found, may be used in a similar manner.

The list of the official reports from which wage data were secured, together with the report number relating to each, which will enable the reader to find the specific name of any report referred to in the table, will be found in this volume immediately preceding the table. This list may also be found immediately preceding the continuation of the table in Volume II of the report. Immediately following the specific name of each report is found (inclosed in a parenthesis) the date of publication of the report.
