AFTER SHORT-MEASURE MEN.
SeaIer Haskell VIII Watch Itinerant
Coal PeddIers This SensOn.

w G. Haskell. sealer OF weights and
measures. is preparing to wage 4 bitter
campaign against short-measure coal
dealers. With the advent Of cold weather
he says. there viii be numerous itinerant
wagon dealers all over the city selling In
small quantities TO the poorer classes.
and Il IS against these that his efforts
principally are to be directed.
II has been called 10 his attention that
several OF these itinerant dealers. selling
by the bushel or other small quantities
in metal baskets employ number Of
lodges 10 make the quantity run short
One OF these brought TO his eRttention Is
the practice OF using q basket with a
thin. flexible bottom that bends in when
placed upon the ground. and thus gives
short measure. Another one Is the pr2c-
tiCe Of denting the bottom and sides OF
metal measures so that they run short.
Mr. Haskell says that in fairness to Il
majority OF these dealers IL must be said
that tho practice is infTequent.
