TO PROTECT THEIR BRANDS.
Importers of Foreign Groceries and
Liquors Are Organizing,

Importers of Foreign Groceries and
Liquors Are Organizing.
The principal importers of foreign
liquors in this city are about to form an
association for the better protection of
their brands. Ii their programme is car
ried out the new organization will in
clude the importers of foreign groceries
and all others who have brand to pro-
tect. The importers have been led to
undertake this movement on account of
the recent decision Of Assistant United
States Attorney SchIesinger TO the effect
that the laws of the United States are
not sufficient 10 prevent the sale OF goods
put UP in the United States under foreign
labels. The importing houses are in a
quandary as to what to do since the
charges against the firms of L. G. LYONS &
Co. and NJ. Blumenthal & Co. have been
disregarded by the Federal authorities.
They think that it is useless for them TO
attempt TO proceed under section 3449
of the Revised Statutes of the United
States. and that their only relief is in the
passage of a State law at the next session
OF he Legislature.
The liquor importers are not the only
sufferers from the refllIng of bottles and
the counterfeiting OF brands. There are
manufacturers OF sauces, Gamers of sar-
dimes and manufacturing grocers gen.
orally who are getting the worst
OF it from San Fran cis CO manufacturers.
All OF the agents of these foreign
concerns will be invited to Join in this
movement. The organizers intend to take
their time in drawing up the bill, which
they intend to have passed. They are now
canvassing the city for members for
their new association, and expect to pro-
ceed to active business about the first OF

simple, but smart-looking, wool dress

A Lively rleeting. The special meet
ing OF the Merchants association at the
Board of Trade rooms on Tuesday even
ing attracted about 40 OF the members of
the association and was, as anticipated,
very lively meeting. Both the secretary
and treasurer had their war paint on
and kept up sharp sparring match tor
over an hour. Harry II. Carr as treas
urer reported the amount of money on
hand, and c. Fl. Bagley as secretary re-
ported the number Of new members and
stated the amount of work he had done
and how his bill for services had been
approved by majority OF the executive
committee as provided in the bylaws of
the association. L. N. Smythe, as presi-
dent of the association, said at four diff.
ferent meetings he had asked the mem
laws so the president would not have to
approve the bills and if as president he
had done wrong in approving Mr.. Bag
ley's bill he certainly had not exceeded
his authority and had done what he
thought at the time and still thought was
an entirely proper act. After considera-
BILE discussion the whole matter was left
over to the annual meeting which is to
occur on Tuesday, January 19.
