WASHINGTON CHAT

AS a result of the failure of Congress S
to raise the salary of government
clerks in Washington, and because it
is claimed that the merchants of the
Capital City overcharge Uncle Sans
employees for all the ne
life, movement is now on foot among
several hundred clerks to open a CO.
operative department store for the ex-
elusive use of government employees
and their families. Such a scheme
has often been talked of but now that
a thorough organization has been
formed for putting the plan into effect,
it is quite likely that the "Clerk's
Store," as it is already called, will be-
come reality.
The purpose of the st ore is not to
antagonize the business interests of
Washington by underselling the local
merchants, as the prices asked at the
cooperative store will be the same as
those asked by the merchants, the
saving to the clerks being realized in
having returned to them dividend
from the profit of the state. 1t is the
purpose to establish at the start
grocery and provision store, and if
this proves success, to enlarge the
business until 1t covers all the neces-
sites as we'll as few of the luxuries
of life. AS model, the methods of
the Army and Navy store of London
will be followed, it being the largest
cooperative store in the world, at
which can he purchased anything
from pin to an elephant
Every employee of the government,
white or colored, will be eligible to
membership, and ii is intended to be
so arranged that each shareholder
will be allowed vote in the proceed
ings which govern the store. The
"Clerk's Store" will be incorporated
and capitalized at 100000, much of
this amount being paid in at the
present time. Ten per cent of the net
proceeds, after payment of all ex-
penses, will be converted each year
to charging the business, the remain
ing ninety per cent being divided
among the stockholders according to
the amount of their purchases made
during the year.

SLAVERY STILL IN EXISTENCE.

That Is All.

Slavery Is stu practlced by civilized
peoples, points out Charles Edwar,

President Tip O'NeH. of the Western
League, is in Washington. on his way to
the annual meeting Of the National Asso-
citation Of Professional Baseball Leagues
in New York Tuesday.
0'Neil had little 10 say in regard 10 the
reports that the American Association
will break away from organized baseball
and blossom out as an outlaw league. and
declined TO be quoted in regard to the
situation
When asked the condition of the West
ern League, O'NeiI expressed himself as
being well satisfied with the showing the
body had made this year. and said that
all the clubs had done well financially.
There is a strong probability that the
Western may increase from a six to an
eight club league. St. Joseph, Mo. and
Kansas City Kans., are both anxious to
enter, and the matter viii be taken IN
some time this winter with the chances
favoring their admission" he said

MERCHANTS PLAN CAMPAIGN
Will Offer inducements to Christmas
Shoppers from Nearby States.
Special Trains to BE Run to Capital,
and Committee VIII Re-
ceiVe Visitors.

The Retail Trade Committee Of the
Chamber Of Commerce met last night
heard reports from its subcommittee on
the proposed shopping days for Wash
ingtoH, and took action looking 20 carry
ing out the project during the first twu
weeks in the month OF December.
Briefly stated. the plan is 10 inaugurate
special excursions 10 Washington from
the States Of Maryland. Virginia. and
West Virginia, TO advertise the shopping
facilities OF Washington thoroughly in
the territory 70 be covered, 10 organize
means of taking care Of the shoppers
while in the city, through a headquarters.
and 10 offer inducements 70 bring a large
number of people from these States.
The railroad subcommittee reported that
il would not be possible 10 obtain a spe-
ciaI rate Of fare on the railroads for these
excursions. but the merchants are al
work upon plan Of rebate 10 shoppers
VINO purchase d certain amount of goods
al the local stores, which viii amount
practically 10 a free ride from their
homes to the city Of shoppers who may
take advantage of the excursions.
The report Of the publicity committee,
which was charged with sending out spe-
cial editions. Of the local newspapers 10
the district to be covered by the excur-
siOns. made only partial report
The committee on headquarters and
care Of tie shoppers while in the city was
unable 90 make a report, until II had
more information than it now has with
reference 10 numbers and the kind OF
headquarters It is proposed 70 lit UP.
The committee came at once to a real
izatiOn that a fund OF considerable size
was needed 10 carry out the project.
Fourteen members OF the committee were
present. and each man had something to
say in regard TO the plan and how TO
work it out. It was finally decided that
each should subscribe TO the gua-2ntee
fund, and that two members Of the cOiiI-
mittee, representing each line Of trade.
should within the next day or two.
canvass the merchants in their line and
secure such subscription as possible from
them.
The project was warmly advocated. and
nearly $1,000 was raised within a few
minutes. The favorable feature OF the
project is that the business men them
selves voluntarily undertook the nec&s-
sary work Of approaching the merchants
in their respective lines Of trade, to in
vite them To come into the enterprise
and help it along.
At next Tuesday nights meeting. it is
expected that sufficient money will be
subscribed TO ensure the success of the
plan and that the details will then be
carefully worked out.
