NO MORE CHEATING On COAL.
A Law which VIII Pat {. Stop to Under-
weighing.

dealers in this city who will CONF under the
provisions Of the new coal law, which was
passed by the last Legislature and received
the signature Of Gov. Hill.
The bill was directed against an abuse
which was the source of more humorous
complaints thar almost any other In exist
ence, that of systematic underweighing on
the part Of dealers supplying families and
private individuals. II is said to be q fact
In the vast majority of cases the purchaser in
small quantities never receives full weightand
1t Is the common practice to cut short o ton
two or three hundred pounds, especially in
the grades ordinarily sold for family. use.
where q greater show in bulk can be made.
Whenever a customer, suspecting. short
weight, has gone to the expense of having
his coal r~eweighed, in nine cases out OF ten
he has discovered that he has been cheated,
but the trouble has been heretofore that he
has been able to obtain no adequate legal
remedy against the dealer, for having once
received the coal he is bound to take it and
pav for it. The only remedy in such a case
has been to refuse to receive the coal until II
has been reweighed. and the expense of such
. proceeding was too great to make 1t popu-
lar even with the victims. They. were prac-
tlChliy IOrceu 10 accept Wnht Tue uehleTs gave
them, without so much as being allowed the
right TO protest against the fraud.
Under the new law, however, IL ia provided
that either the dealer or some one employed
by HIM shall take out o weigher's licens e,
and that he shall furnish to each purchaser q
certificate showing the exact amount Of the
purchase. These licenses are to be issued
by the Mayors Marshal at a fee not exceed
ing 81.
If the purchaser finds that he has been
gwen q short ton, and furnishes evidence of
the fact at the Marshal'a Office, the weigher
can be punished by thirty DAYS imprison-
ment and a fine, and can have his license re-
voked. There must be a weigher thus Ii
censed in every coal-yard in the city, and
the law provides q penalty for neglect to pro-
cure such o license.
Within q few days steps will be taken by
the officials of the Marshars Office to notify
all the dealers in the city to take out licenses
under the new law. It is believed that the
law will prove eficacious, for the penalty is
so severe that few will risk the danger of
being detected in the fraud.
1t is suggested, however. that one Of the
results Of the new law will be an advance in
the price of coal by the retail dealers, which
Is the only way they can get even with the
public for blocking their little game.

THE BEER BOYCOTT.

Another Unsuccessful Effort Made Co Have

The Maltsters' UnionAsid-a meeting yes
terday forenoon in Uaf9haoh Hall, and sent
a communication toftA- Central Labor Union
requesting the removSaaf. of the boycott on
pool beer, On the ground that the pool brew
ers are using union malt and the union or
non-pool brewers are using ",scab" malt.
The Central body laid the matter on the
table.
All efforts to remove the boycott have
failed. though it is believed by many of the
labor leaders that it is unwise to continue 1t.
The boycott is a very limited one, neces.
sarily, on account OF the failure TO obtain a
sufficient quantity Of beer outside of the
pool breweries, and it is a notorious fact that
the boycott is more honored in the breach
than in the observance by the working people
who drink beer.
1t is. nevertheless, true that some Of the
pool brewers feel the effects Of the boycott,
though not to such an extent as to cripple
them.
