MERCHANTS To
ATTACK LAW
Parcel Post Legislation is
not Wanted

In Seattle on Sept. Is and 10. will
be held the first meeting of the Gro
GERS and General Merchants associa~
tion this season. This association is
for the furtheranoe and protection Of

as mail order houses. etc.
At Il meeting of the local association
last night. John Muntinga and l..

convention. Besides these Nj. c. Me-
Grew. the president of the local or
ganization, will also be present.
The principal features which are to
come up before the meeting are the
fight against the catalogue houses and
the parcel post law. There will be
many men of Importance who will be
in attendance upon the meeting and
everything possible to defeat this par
eel post legislation will be done.
1T is one of the worst things which
could happen to local business men,
Std Secretary Steinberg this morn
local merchants would suffer greatly
from the encroachments of the big
mail order houses. They sell goods
cheap and they sell cheap goods H.,
order to do it. If people only knew it
they can get the same goods at home
at the same cost When the difference
in the transportation is added, the
purchaser saves little or nothing.
These big mail order houses with their
concentration of capital would soon be-
come the greatest menaces to the
commonwealth we have. People look at
he price and not at the postage, which
makes the goods cost more than at
local stores

vised the passage of such a lay. how
no easy matter. But it is necessary
