Retail coal and wood dealers from
various sections of the state met at
Fairfield, Friday, but no official state
ment of the object of the meeting or
the action taken, was given out. The

adoption of protective measures in
their business to the end that they might
control the retail trade in their respec-
tive localities. The idea appeared to be
to stop the growing practice of people
clubbing together and ordering coal in
car lots from a wholesale outside the
stale.
