Survey of Industries Will Be
Important Enterprise.
Commercial Club Will Under
take the Task.
HELP SOLVE LABOR PROB! EN-
Number of Men Employed Will
Be Ascertained.
Ask City to Provide Work i'm
the Of Seasons.

The survey of the Topeka industrial
institutions which will be undertaken
by the Comm club-in all prob
ability through the publicity commit
tee under Charles Dillon-will be of
far reaching Importance according to
]. VIII Kelley, secretary, who outlined
the plan at meeting of the chair
men of the respective committees to-
day. In fact it will be one of the
most important undertakings attempt
ed by the club in Keiley's estimation.
The plan is to investigate from one
to five factories each week. Members
of the club will do the work, and this
will save the necessity of going to
heavy expense in hiring a survey eX-
pert.
Something to Talk About
When the survey is completed the
club will have something definite to
talk about in Topeka advertising liter
allure. The trouble with most liter
allure that is put out for city adver-
tising," said Secretary Kelley, lis that
the persons who write it do not have
the facts"
In this survey both the maximum
and minimum number of employees
at each factory will be given. The sea-
son of the year in which the minim um
force is carried will be indicated. In
this way it will be possible to get a
line on the labor situation; to ascertain
the number of persons that will be out
OF work at any given period. We can
go to the city commissioners and ask
that a portion of the city work be
available at the times when the fac
tory men are out of employment. This
will tend towards making Topeka
more prosperous and a better place in
which to live.
Information relative to the Topeka
industries will be sent out to the To-
peka housewives by the publicity COM
nittee, according to the plan outlined.
Five letters have already been pre-
pared by the committee which will be
sent out in the interests of the home
buying campaign. On the backs have
been printed list of the factories that
put out household goods in common

EXPERT ON JITNEYS.
Plan Under Way to Incorporate $50
900 Firm in Topeka.

A plan is under way in Topeka for
the incorporation of a new $4,000
jitney company No definite details
have been announced, but several To-
cal capitalists are said to be backing
the proposition.
An expert engineer was in Topeka
for several days two weeks ago and
he has the jitney plan figured down
to fine point He told several local
people that if a big company could be
organized, dividends of from 100 to
200 per cent could be paid in two
years. The report is to buy 25 or 80
cars holding many people each.
1t is only rumored but it appears as
if there may be some foundation to
the story.
