2. In three industries of which special wage investigations have recently been made.
3. As shown in "average wages."
4. As distributed geographically.
5. As distributed through special industries.
A measurable degree of success in this endeavor will furnish material which will establish a foundation on which more advanced and more important studies may be erected.
