A Comparison of Salaries Paid at the University of Missouri, at t he School of Mines and Metallurgy, and in Certain Federal Posit ions.

These curves are reproduced here to show three things:1.

that, the scale of salaries at the School of Mines is below t hat of the Uni¡ versity.

2. t hat during good times while salaries in general were being increased the salal'y of professors at the School of Mines showed very lit tle betterment. :3,

t hat cuts at MSM are far greater than at Missouri University or in Federal positions.

The curves produced above are based on data in regard to t he University and the School of Mines secured by J, B, Butler from the State Blue Book. The data on Fedel'al employes were taken hom an al-ticle in the Chicago Tl'ibune.
