To Investigate Dealers Associations


Investigation of methods in the ce-
ment industry in raising the price of
Portland cement in Colorado until, as
Representative Ebert Greenman of
Boulder claims, it will clear up cool
million as velvet" is the object of a
joint memorial passed by the house Of
representatives Friday. The memorial
must go to the senate. 1t requests the
United States attorney for this district
to probe the alleged combine and
prosecute under federal laws.
While Greenman was speaking upon
his resolution Speaker Harry Lubers
took occasion to condemn the grocery
and meat dealers association of the
state, which, he says, sends out orders
as to what prices shall be charged on
foodstuffs to the grocers of the state
every Monday morning.
Greenman promised Lubers that he
would support any memorial or resolu-
tion asking the attorney general to in
vestigate affairs IN the grocery trade
II the latter will prepare and introduce
one.
The cement memorial passed with
tne vote Ol ali henhpeiS oASSPI
of Weld, a groceryman, who protested
against the charges that a grocery
combine existed. He said he knew OF
no such combine.
Greenman urged the passage of the
cement memorial on the grounds that
it is tax upon the citizens of the
state through their public improve
ments and roads as well as being an
unfair and illegal restraint of trade.

'TO0KHER CASE TO .
DIRECTOR DURAND
Miss Pettisolas Complained to
Census Chief About Trouble
With I.nulncrator.
Mr.. MOORE NOT CENsURED
Department S a is led That
Supervisor Did Not Exceed
His Authority.

From little census questions great
controversies may sometimes grow
Director OF the Census f. Dana Durand
has now on file in his Office at Wash
ington a formal complaint from Miss
Ella T.. Petticolas, of Richmond who
some weeks ago refused to answer
certain questions asked her by the
census enumeration, only to be influ-
enced to do so when summoned before
United states Commissioner Brady.
1t was on April 10 that the enumer-
ator, j. II. Walton, called to see Miss
Petticolas to request her to answer
the questions which thousands OF
other women in Richmond have an.
swered without complaining. lie
didn't get the information. He claimed
that the door was slammed in his
face. He tried again the same day
and failed.
a few days elapsed, and Miss Pet
ticolas, under the impression that she
had been treated with less courtesy in
the matter than was due. called on
several Federal officials to state her
case. They were of opinion that 1t
was nothing but refusal to answer
the questions which Congress has or
daned lawful and proper.
Appealed to Durnnd.
After some more unsuccessful trials
to get the information from her, Di-
rector G.. Ridgeway Moore was forced
by the situation 10 have warrant
issued, ordering her to appear before
Commissioner Brady to answer to the
charge of having failed to reply to
the Genus enumerator When that OIL
cial explained to her the penalty that
might result from her refusal she
answered.
Now 1t appears that she has COM
planned to Director Durand. Just what
grounds she based her action upon
are not now known. but Director Moore
stated last night that he had been
notified by the Census Bureau that
according to the official understanding
of the case, he was not censurable.
Miss Petticolas last night refused
to say anything about the complaint.
1t is said that Director Durand has
sent his secretary here to look into
the matter, but he could not be found
last night
One of the grounds of the complaint.
it is said. was that the officer who
served the warrant upon Miss Petit
colas was also an enumerator, and
that 1t was submitted that he was
holding two Federal Offices
at the same time. II this ground was
alleged it will hardly hold since the
officer was sworn in only for the cs-
pecial purpose Of serving the warrant.
and that would hardly be violation
OF the constitutional inhibition.

Disch arging Pat

| From Adventure.
 | A works foreman of mine, who had been employed as assistant superinten- dent in another dynamite factory, told me the following story: He one day intercepted an Irish la borer, who was taking barrel, which had ben used for settling nitroglycerin. down to the soda dryhouse. with the intention of filling 1t with hot nitrate of soda from the drying-pans. The foreman scolded Pat roundly and told him that, should be do such reckless thing again, he would be instantly dis charged. The foreman then went to the superintendent's office and reported the matter.
 In the meantime, Patrick utterly ig- noring the injunction. simply waited for the foreman to disappear, then pro- ceeded to the dryhouse with the barrel and began to fill 1t with the hot nitrate of soda.
 Over in the superintendent's office the foreIhan had just completed his narration of the incident, when there was a thunderous report and crash of glass. Then Pats booted foot landed on the office floor between them. The superintendent dryly remarked, "Calm your agitation-Pat is already dis chargedr'
