Wages of Labor.
111 general, Prof. Commons finds
common labor bcttor paid by munici-
puiillcs in America than by private
companies. llc says:
“in the llnitcd States the minimum
paid 101' common labor by llic privulu .
companies is. in all cases cxcopl At
lonla. lowor than that oftho munici-
pality. and the minimum paid for com-
mon labor by municipal uudcrtnkiugs
ls 1111:th than that of plivato com-
panics of tho sonic locality.
“in 1111111: oi lhc Ammicnu outcr-
