MEyACEs TO GROCERY TRADE.
Retail Men. to Meet Tonight to
Consider Certain Alleged Evils.

A number OF retail grocers VIII hold
meeting this evening for the purpose OF
taking the initial steps toward breaking
I'D what they consider to be great evils
in the trade here.
For some time some OF the leading gro
GERS have been annoyed by persons VINO
conduct Il house-to-house business, selling
their goods and wares, and also by al
legged irresponsible merchants, who. do
not pay license, and conduct little and in
CONSEQUENTIAL stores during the year. save
about the time when license-taxes are as
sessed. 1t is to break up these classes
of people in business, and To foster some
system which viii protect the interests
OF the legitimate retail grocer Of the city,
that the latter are banding themselves to-
gether.
No. 40 west Broad street, and II Is
thought many of the leading grocery firms
of the city will be represented. The pro-
priety Of taking active steps towards
having the laws so changed as 10 break
up these alleged evils will be fully con-
sidered
A prominent retail grocer, speaking OF
the meeting yesterday, said that he could
not tell what would be done, but that
the time had arrived when some steps
should be taken TO protect the grocers
who conducted legitimate businesses ana
maid their taxes and their special licenses.
He aid not think the laws should be so
as TO allow these evils to exist.
IL Is possible that permanent organi-
cation will grow out OF the meeting. The
retail grocers are now unorganized. IL Is
asserted by some of the promoters OF to-
rights meeting, however. that a perma-
nent association would be a capital thing
to have. as there are constantly arising
which could be avoided by such an or
paniZatiOn.
