In some instances Senator's who signed
the majority report are getting bitter
criticism from their home States.
Reproach for Gamble.
One Of the Senators who is being sub
jected to a sharp fire is Senator Gam

Senator Crawford, mercilessly arralgned
the Lorimer defense, and gave mas
terly presentation Of the case against
Lorimer.
Lobbying and wire-pulllng for the pur-
pose Of saving Lorimer is extremely ac-
tive. The supporters of Lorimer realize
they are in a desperate situation.

Stephenson is being more and more

STEAM LAUNDR|ES
IN UNITED STATES
Thirteenth Census Figures Unfold
An interesting Story Con-
corning Thsm.
FIRST COMPLETE REPORT
OF An IMMENSE INDUSTRY
Gross Receipts Amount To $104,-
$4,000, And Cost Of Soap
And Materials Is Given
As $17,696,0 600.

The thirteenth census for laundries
covers the operations OF all laundries
in The United States during the year
1903 that used mechanical power for
washing or other purposes. Its the
first complete census that has been
made OF the Industry. The data cover
the calendar year 1909 whenever the
system OF, bookkeeping permitted 1g-
ures for that year to be secured, but
where>the business year OF the estab.
lishment differed from the calendar
year the report was taken from the
fiscal period falling most largely
within the calendar year.
In some instances two or more
laundries located in the same town or
city were owned or controlled and
operated by the same person, partner
ship, or corporation. II 10 such cases
one set OF books was kept for all OF
the laundries, they were included 10
one report to the census and counted
as single establishment.
CAflIAL USED.
During the year 1909 there were 10
the United States. 5,1s8 laundries
operated by the use OF mechanical
power.
The capital reported by these estab-
lishments as Invested Ia the industry
amounted to s6S, ,9s5, 900, or an average
OF approximately $4,000 per estab.
lishment. The census inquiry calls
for the total amount OF capital, both
owned and borrowed, invested in
business, but excludes the value OF
rented property. The annual rental
paid BY laundries for plant and equip
ment amounted TO s2.277, 900. II this
rental were capitalized on the basis
OF six per cent, II would amount to
e37, $3.50, ,000 which, being added to the
capital reported, gives total capital
OF sl0e. 1886, 900.
The cost of soap, starch, fuel and
power, and other materials consumed
10 the laundries during 1909 was el7,.
