Secretary Levy Shows Where
Manufacturing Is
COMPARED TO WICHITA
Santa Fe's Shops Alone Re-
sponSibIefor Topeka'S Total.

Secretary NJ. ". Levy. Of the Chamber
OF Commerce. was considerably wrought
up yesterday over a claim which is being
made by the Topeka papers about wich-
ita's status as a manufacturing city. He
said yesterday:
Topeka is Dragging that it is manu-
featuring center. Its papers point out
that it has 3ss manufacturing establish
ments; that these establishments employ
S,75S people and pay out in wages annu-
ally g, 11O,721. Then they print that Wich-
tia has S2S establishments. employs in
them 1.505 persons and pays in wages
s63s, 27L Topeka does not point out that
Tcpeka's industries lack diversifcation,
and are mostly small and insignificant,
with one exception, and that one excep-
ton practically makes up the towns
whole total. over which it is Dragging.
/ refer TO the Santa Fe shops. That es-
adjustment is the basis for Topeka s
boast and that alone. If Topeka will
subtract from its total Of establishments,
the Santa Fe shops. and subtract from
its total employees, the number employed
in the Santa Fe shops, and then sub
tract from its total wages the wages paid
in the Santa Fe shops. it viii be so
ashamed of the result that it will never
talk manufacturing again"
Mr.. Levy produced this clipping from
the Mail and Breeze of Topeka:
In the number Of people employed,
the manufacturing establishments of
Kansas City, Kan. are far more numer-
Gus than in any other city of the state
The establishments of Kansas City, Kan,
employ 1854 people. The establishments
in Topeka employ S,75S people and pay
out in the way Of wages annually 81 no.
721. While there are only seventy-one
more manufacturing establishments in
Topeka than in Wichita, the Wichita es-
adjustments employ 1855 persons and pay
out in wages only s6Ss.271 per annum, or
less than one-third the amount of wages
paid out by the establishments Of Topeka.
Will our esteemed friend, Colonel Mar
cellus Murdoch, of the Wichita Eagle,
please place the fact in the bowl of his
and smoke it at his leisure2'
Now" continued Mr.. Levy, should
the fires go out in the Santa Fe shops at
Topeka. preventing US from securing a
light for our pipe. Topeka's payroll
would decrease Ssh, 215. leaving a bal
ance of S269,5OS. distributed among s2S
men. and Wichita would continue to dis
tribute $3.50 27i among 1,5o5 wage-earncrs.
Tom McNeal has evidently forgotten
since the state convention his mathemati-
cal knowledge of addition. subtraction
and division, which he endeavored to i'm
part to Governor Bailey"

ment, while five members of the opposition Rep
resentatives Metcalf of California: Dick and

half Of the Republicans who opposed the Ways
and Means Committees original plan of 20 per
cent reciprocity for an unlimited period.

no final result was reached, an adjournment
being taken until p. m. tomorrow. All plans
Of compromise which have been suggested were
reviewed, particularly that limiting the rec-
procty period until December, 1903. Beyond
discussing the various plans, action was
taken. When the conference closed ii was said
that the discussion had been along such har-
monious lines that an agreement seemed as
sured. Chairman Payne and his associates
seemed 10 be less confident than the other con
ferrees that an agreement was In sight.
Before the meeting of the arhitrators the eie-

missioner says
Maximum rates of mail pay are provided by the
Ship Subsidy bill and authorized by the act of
1891 In some instances the maximum rates pro-
posed are higher than the maximum rates under the
1891, in other instances lower, and In other
Instances they substantially the same.
The Commissioner says that the rates proposed
by the pending bill lower at the outset in every
instance except in the general subsidy provided for
five years for vessels going to ports more than
three thousand miles from the United States, than
were proposed by the Subsidy bill OF the last Con-
gress. He says. however, that considerable In
crease in American shipbuilding for several years
would have reduced the rates under the former
bill and adds:
A Corresponding increase in American shipbud-
ing for several years involving reductions in rel

rates for mail contracts than the maximum rates
fixed by the pending bill but such increase in
