BIG SHIP FLYING
Lawson Airliner Going From
Milwaukee to New York.
This Is Plane That VIII Make
Topeka Landing Place.

Chicago Aug. 2s.-The Lawson Air
liner, with a capacity for twenty-six
passengers, was awaiting favorable
weather here today to resume its Mil
waukee-New York tour 1t arrived
the trip here from Milwaukee at the
rate of 100 miles an hour.
Carrying six passengers and pilored
by Alfred w. Lawson, owner and
head CT the constructing company, the
plane landed at its hangers here Just
5s minutes after it left the ground at
Milwaukee. 1t covered the distance
of 102 miles.
Resuming the trip east Lawson said
the plane will make stops at Toledo,
Cleveland. Buffalo and Rochester.
From New York it Is planned to fly
to the Pacific coast in thirty-six hours.
Lawson said his car could easily de-
velop a speed of 115 miles an hour
and could carry sixty persons, altho
the present arrangements provide
space for only twenty-six.
The Lawson Airline company is one
of the pioneer aerial transportation
companies in America. 1t is Lawson
who was recently carrying on negotia-
tions with Topeka officials relative to
establishing a landing field here and
making Topeka a stopping place on
the coast-to-coast airway. AS in the
case of the government landing field,
no action has ever been taken to as
sure this great asset to the city.
Lawson's planes are apparently a
great success and within a short time
he expects to have 100 machines ca
pable of carrying twenty-six passen-
gers each on established routes across
the country and on branch lines. Tope-
ka has the opportunity of becoming a
stopping point on the transcontinent-
al air route if it will furnish the field.
according to correspondence from
Lawson himself 1t is possible that
the big passenger plane will stop in
Topeka on her maiden trip from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coast

Topeka Consumers League To
Make Comparisons.
To TabuIate Costs at Each
Store in the City.
TO WATCH FOR FLUCTUATIONS
Probe Big Variance in Costs in
Business Houses.
Women in Formal Organization
at State House Today.

First steps toward the organization
Of a Topeka Consumers League were
taken this morning when ten Topeka
women ploughed thru the rain and
gathered at the governors office in
the state house. Plans were formu-
lated for preparing a table of prices
charged for articles of food and wear
ing apparel in all Topeka stores
Thru the medium of the Consumers
League it is hoped to check up on
every store in Topeka and point out
to the housewives where over-charg-
ing is being practiced-if there is any.
Tho league plan will be taken before
every civic and religious body in To-
peka in membership campaign
which it is hoped ultimately will in
clude every housewife in the city.
The league plan closely follows that
pursued by the Consumers League in
Chicago which has taken drastic steps
in its efforts to cut profiteering by
certain stores. For instance, one
woman reported at the meeting that
she was endeavorlng to purchase coat
ing sold for $3.50. sch stated. At an
other store identically the same lining
wrapped in the same make of box
sold for 1925.
Then Lipton's tea was purchased by
another woman. In one store she dis
covered the tea sold for 50 cents. At
another store. she stated that it was
being sold for $1.25.
VIII Do No Cooperative Buying.
These fluctuations in prices will be
noted in bulletins issued either thru
the newspapers or thru pamphlets
sent to members of the league. In this
manner. it is hoped a boycott may be
placed on stroes where unfair prices
are being charged.
1t was stated specifically at the
meeting this morning that the Con-
sumers' league will not do any CO.
operative buying. Its purpose will be
merely to point out the wide fluctua-
tions ins prices claimed to be existing
in various stores in Topeka.
For the present members OF the
league will voluntarily tabulate retail
prices and compare the fluctuations
with the fluctuations in the wholesale
markets. The market reports today

Clearing Of the situation is at
tributed largely to the unceasing ef-
forts of union leaders to induce the

threat of Rail Director Hines that the
government would actually operate the
trains If the strike did not come TO
an end at once. Hines wired District
Director Sproule that the government
is taking the necessary steps to dead
with the matter without the lapse of
further time unless this last effort of
chief executives OF the organizations
speedily proves successful"
He referred to a telegram sent by
the brotherhood chiefs to their repre-
sentatives both here and at Los
Angeles ordering the men back to work
within twenty-four hours under pain
of suspension.
Federal Manager Scott OF the South
ern Pacific had posted a statement
that none of the men who returned to
work would lose seniority rights.
