A get-together meeting of the
committee from the Retail Mer-

cial club, which are raising subscrip-
items for the Federal Basket com.
pany. was held this morning to plan
for the weeks work. and the most
encouraging reports of the dona-

The committee reported that a little
over half the fund is subscribed and
anticipates no trouble in getting the
balance.
THE proposition is the best one
we have had yet" said a member of
the committee today. land when ii
is explained, IL is easy to get sub
scriptions. The Commercial club and
the retail merchants have promised
the Federal Basket company that,
at the end of each year they will
give the concern, as bonus, an
amount equivalent to per cent of
the pay roll OF tie plant. And, in
that pay roll is hncluded only the
workmen in the fActory. not the SAL
aried officers. So you see, we are
paying out nothing. until after we
have received what benefits will
arise from the operation of the
plant, which should be great, as IL
will employ probably 200 persons.
We expect to finish up the work this
week"
