Believe System Has Intro

Many Evils.
Resolutions Passed Favoring It's Adolf.
tion-To Adopt Uniform Measure
for Retail Trade.

At the regular semi-monthly meeting o.
the Retail Liquor Dealers Association OF
| the District of Columbia, held yesterday
afternoon at Maccabees' Temple, 81;
| Ninth Street northwest, a set of resolu-
lions favoring the abolition of the "growl-
er" system of selling liquor was unani-
| mously adopted.
This action is the result of a canvass
on the part of some of the most promi-
nent and influential of those engaged in
the business. The object of this stand is
the elimination of many of the unpleas-
ant features of the trade. The liquor deal
ers feel that their business will be put on
a higher plane and their characters as le-
Ultimate merchants more generally recog-
nized by the public in taking this attitude.
Has Many Evils.
They point out that the GROWER" sys-
ten has many evils which tend to bring
the business into dsrepute. The action
of the liquor men meets with the approval
of the Excise Board and large majority
of the public. The resolutions adopted at
the meeting are as follows:
BE it resolved, That this association.
organized for the purpose of protecting
its members and their business. favoring
just and reasonable laws and regula-
tions, and believing in decency, order, and
fair dealing. and considering that they
are entitled to a just and fair profit on
their goods.
To Abolish "Growler."
do most earnestly request all persons
engaged in the retail liquor business to
discontinue the sale of what is termed
the GROWER, and enter into an agree
ment that on and after March Il, 1902.

porter by the measure shall be ten cents.

shall have the stamp of the association
thereon, and which shall be sold to all
dealers who may apply for the same
