.. trade journal protests against the
threatened acclimatiug in this country
of very unsouad business practice, tho
paying OF "backshcesh," or in other
words blackmail, to customers. The con-
sideration Of the subject arose out of
recent English lawsuit in which a former
employe of a firm, who had been dis
charged, sought 10 recover and did re-
cover damages from his former en-
ployer for statements made to II subse-
quent employer. The employe had made
certain disbursements which were not
approved of by his employer, and had
applied certain amounts he had collected
to these disbursements and declined to
pay over to employer said amounts.
During the suit it transpircd that it was
customary for the traveller to make out

in England that is now protested against
