placed on the market by the firms COM

cutting prices and selling at cost. The
session this morning was for the purpose
of preventing this evil.
During the recess which lasted from noon
until o'clock, the delegates visited the
White House and were presented to Presi-

taken up and was in progress when The

meeting. The convention will come to a
close this evening with a banquet at the

In 1912 and turned the proceeds into the
