The Wage Question Prompts Local Wage Debate
An unsigned letter from Corry criticizes wages in the city noting typical pay at $1.50 per day and rent around $92 per month. The writer, father of seven, argues higher wages attract workers and cites discrepancies with wages in northwestern Pennsylvania where some earn $1.25 to $2 daily. He asserts good wages boost efficiency, but stresses a family of seven cannot live on $1.50.
