RETAILERS Up IN ARMS.
VIII Fight Wholesalers Who Sell
Merchnndiae to Consumers.

The Retail Merchants Association OF
Belleyiile has begun q fight on certain
wholesalers in the city, who. il is alleged,
have been selling goods at retail. a com
mittee of the retailers. cousiting OF George
Rauschkolb. Joseph p. Haussmann and John
Loos. were yesterday at work securing
evidence against the wholesalers in the
city. against whom the charge of retailing
was made
The alleged breach Of the laws. it is said,
is not confined to a single firm. but TO sew
eraI. and 1t is the intention of the Retail
Merchants Association OF BeilevilIe to pro-
tect itself. If needs be, by taking the mat
ter into the courts. 1t Is the present inten-
ton. however. to avoid all trouble and TO
settle the matter amicably on the promise
that the wholesalers will not sell any more
goods at retail.
The question of the wholesalers selling at
retail is one that has puzzled the Retail
Merchants Association of Belleville for
some time. AT the meeting Wednesday
night the matter was taken up at length.
and number of addresses Were made on
this subject The takers called for a united
effort on the part Of the retail merchants
to suppress the retailing by Wholesalers
even II they had the permits for doing
such a business. Moral suasion was sug-
gested 10 be the first course. and if this
was unsuccessful to invoke the aid OF the
law in cases of those whose licenses do
not allow them to sell at retail.

ST. Louis and San Francisco Railway are
still ir doubt as to what kind of an organ

the system directly from St Louis but un-
der the statutes Of the State every railroad
system in Texas must have State head
quarters. The Frisco has four short line
companies in its Texas system. The officials
desire to consolidate the official affairs of

officials have been unable to aid them
