pert social workers have been in the city
and their reports may be expected to be
available to the public by the end of the
year. The sphere of inquiry has included
Pittsburg, Allegheny City and such of
the outlying boroughs as are bound to be
embraced within the greater Pittsburg
of the future.
The work is carried on under the ma
tional publication committee of "Chari-
ties and the Commons, in cooperation
with such bodies as the international
tional publication committee of Chari-
ties and the Commons, in cooperation
ers league, the American Bureau of In
dustrial Research, the Seybert institution
of Philadelphia and the department for
the improvement of social conditions of
the New York Charity Organization So
ciety.

economic condition of the wage earning
population of Pittsburg, is Paul U. KEEL
logg of New York Mr.. Kellogg is, man
aging editor of Charities and the Com
mons, assistant secretary of the nation
al and New York conferences of chari-

ton, d. c., in December, 1908.
The men and women with Mr.. Kellogg
in Pittsburg are all widely known as
students of social and civic conditions.
One of the first reports to be looked for
will be that of Charles Mulford Robinson
of Rochester, on the civic possibilities of
the river valleys in the way of parks,
street development and general city plan.
Mr.. Robinson is known for his works on
the Identification of European cities and
progress of the municipal development in
America. He has acted as official civic
adviser in replanning Columbus. Denver,
Oakland and number of other American
cities, including special call to Homo
lulu by the government authorities there.
He is at present on an extended tour
throughout the west, filling various pub
lie commissions in Duluth and other
cities.
Another of the first investigators in the
field was Christopher Easton, who since
last spring has been engaged in a scien-
tific analysis of the statistics of occu-
pational morality in the iron and steel
trade. This is pioneer work in America,
as almost nothing has been attempted
hitherto in the direction of an analysis
of health records along the lines of occu-
patton, either by bureaus of labor or
boards of health. Mr.. Easton is regis
trar of the bureau of vital statistics OF
the state of Minnesota. During his stay
in Pittsburg he acted as executive sec
retary of the Pittsburg tuberculosis ex-
hibft and in his statistical work he has
been assisted in making classified CEN
sus of steel in Allegheny county by men
of such standing as President Dinkey of
the Carnegie Steel company and Presi-
dent wallace H. Rowe of the Pittsburg
Steel company.
