I judge. from their being crowded into such close quarters. the household described did not represent highclass laborers. I want to call the Senators attention to the fact that Mr. Lauck. who was a member of the Immigration Commission and is now the chief examiner of the Tariff Board. in his article which I have just read. gives the average wage paid to the unskilled and skilled laborers in the factories of Lawrence. The average weekly wage of the operatives 1 years of age or over is $10.49. and for females. $S.18. That is the average. ind. of course. a considerable number receive a much lower wage.
