Wages of Working Girls in New York Trades
A meeting of working girls in New York last Thursday examined wages across trades. The average is about two dollars per week with some earning around twenty cents a day. examples include shirts at six cents a dozen, fine shirts at one dollar a dozen, and corsets up to four dollars weekly. Many laborers work long hours for meager pay, with deductions for unfinished work and self-supplied materials. Photographers steady at three dollars weekly, and clothes finishing requiring personal thread purchases illustrate the harsh realities reported.

Submarine Volcano Off Sicily At Pantelleria Coast
Malta observers report an extraordinary submarine eruption about twenty five miles from shore between Pantelleria and Sciacca Sicily. A prior volcanic site marked on an old chart produced a new island of cinders about ninety by thirty feet, with a crater continually venting steam and smoke. Large projectiles rise to thousand feet as earthquakes rumble nearby in Samoa. The party’s ascent to the crater described hot ash, sulfuric odor, and boiling water surges, with a rough ash beach and a half mile wide ring of flames and steam.
