Whereas, it is customary for the govern
ment to grant a trade mark or copyright to
manufacturers of articles made in foreign
countries where said articles are not protect
ed by trade mark or copyright thus restrict
ing competition in the manufacture of said
articles in this country. Therefore be it
Resolved, That the members of the Mime
sofa State Pharmaceutical association, in con-
Vent1on assembled at Lake Park, Aug. %, do
earnestly urge the committee on national leg
islation Of the A. Phi. A. to see that a bill
IS drafted and presented to congress prohibit
Ing the future granting of such copyright
or trade mark for goods manufactured in
foreign countries, and not thus protected in
the countries where made, and thereby re-
move the excessive cost on such goods in this
country, whereas the law now stands an alien
can introduce articles into this county for
four or five times the price in his own
ceives cent of revenue.
The report Of the executive COM
mittee which followed called forth the
discussion of the afternoon, as it con-
tanned a direct mention of the Clougn-
Griffin Webster trouble of some time
| ago. The committee endorsed the ac-
ton of the officers of the association in
testing the validity Of section of the
pharmacy laws under which Gov.
Clough appointed Griffin a member of
the state board, and upon the motion
to adopt the report a discussion arose
! as to the advisability of doing so.
Adoption was finally carried, however,
and nothing further will now be done
with the matter until the next conven-
| ton, though action was recommended
| as to the amending of the present laws
SO as to give the association the privi-
lege of appointing members of the state
board
