CERS-N0T MUCH BUSINESS OF
IMPORTANCE LIKELY TO COME
UP.
Tuesday and Wednesday OF the com,
ing week the Hotel Mems Association
OF West Virginia viii hold their second
annual meeting in this city. The body
was organized in this city last year for
the purpose Of protection to that BUSH
ness, and at present the roster con-
tains the names of the proprietors Of
all the larger hotels in the State. BY
legislation the body passes on all i'm
portant questions which pertain TO pro-
tecting their interests.
1t was through the efforts of Dele
gate Harry Mcclure. backed by the hotel
men, that the hotel bill, Increasing the
penalty for board bin jumping, went
through the State Legislature. This is
only one of various measures which
have been taken by the association as
a protection.
Another measure in use is the pub
fishing OF dead beats by placards in the
hotel Hobbies. This in every instance
has been found to be a good move on
the part Of the hotel men, as In several
cases the hotels have been saved from
entertaining these dead beats, as they
are termed. The plaeards not only give
the names OF the offenders, but u
description as we'll.
The Official programme reads as fol-
lows:
