st. Louis, May 10, 1875. (
A meeting Of the corn meal millers Of st. Lou
was held to-day to devise means for the better
protection OF their interests in the future. The
meal manufacturers present: Coas. Heel, Nor
sris Heel, John Engelke, E. W Leonhardt, D. C
Gray, VIM Ludewig, Robert J. Wood and Jas
L. Maud.
The meeting being duly organized and in order
for business, several written propositions OF
preambles were submitted. The following one
submitted by Mr.. JAS. L. Maude was unani.
mously adopted, which reads as follows:
We, the undersigned, comprising the corr
meal manufacturers Of st. Louis, also being
members OF the Merchants Exchange Of this
city, feeling the necessity OF united organiza-
ton for our mutual protection, have met together
Cor the purpose of adopting such rules and regu-
lations that may be deemed necessary looking to
This result.
The practice Of guaranteeing corn meal to keep
free from sOurng, must, or other deterioration,
Sor sixty or ninety days by the manufacturers,
often result in heavy and very frequently urjust
reciamatlons upon US from causes over which we
have no control viz, such as the careless hand
ling by Ia lr5a1s II steamboats, OF articles as per.
ishable as ours, the delivery Of same at landings
and stations not provided with proper shelter
thus subjectlng goods to exposure, resulting often
an damage, and as a consequence the rejection by
the purchaser and claim upon the miller hs
the custom now exists the miller is compelled to
assume all risk until the goods reach the con-
4sumer, which is demanding too much. BUYERS
of meal have right, we claim. to demand the
inspection of meal by a duly authorized inspector
appointed for that purpose by the Merchants
Exchange, in order to protect themselves from
all unjust demands. Submitting the force Ding
preamble as basis, we individually bind our
selves to faithfully live up to and carry out to the
extreme letter the following rules in the manu-
featuring Of kiln dried corn meal, viz
hULE l. We bind ourselves to use nothing but
dry white, or white mixed corn, or nothing below
the grade of inspected No. white mixed corn to
l5e used.
RULE 2. We bind ourselves to pack in each bar
rel two hundred pounds GOO tbs) net weight of
meal also, that the weie hit of each empty barrel
be plainly marked on said barrel.
RULE 8. We bud ourselves on and after the
signing OF this paper to stop all guaranteeing of
meal, heretofore the existing rifle, and, that we
also instruct our agents or commission merr hants
at points OF consignment to withhold all guaran-
teeing in the future.
