I imagine the $300 is annual salary, as $300 a week would be about $350K a year in today's dollars.
Some of those wage figures really put things into perspective. It's a little over a 20:1 ratio from today's dollars to 1910 dollars, so most of those people were only earning the equivalent of $6000-8000 a year while working 60+ hours a week.
