WAR ON FIXED PRICES

Retail grocers are at odds with the
manufacturers of breakfast foods, canned
goods and other products in which they
DEAL over the right of the manufacturer to
fix the price at which the grocer must sell
his goods. The manufacturers believe they
have that right. Some grocers agree with
them; others who like to advertise cut
prices. contend that they have perfect
right to name their own prices
Manufacturers already have begun to
enforce the fixed price rule in California,
where they have been upheld in their
contentious by the supreme court, They
have refused to ship goods to any grocer
who is found selling their commodities at
less than the price marked on the package.
A recent convention of New York grocers
adopted resolutions in favor of this plan,
and the last national convention of retail
grocers was also on the manufacturers
side.
But there are dissenters in the grocery
mems ranks. They intend to make stiff
fight in Congress for the enactment of
bill which has already been introduced
permitting them to charge as little or as
much as they please, regardless of the
price stamped on the package.
Duke C. Bowers, owner of 80 grocery
stores in Memphis, Tenn. is the leader of
the "insurgent" grocerymen twas through
his efforts that the bill in question was
introduced, and he has just issued an ap-
peal for aid to the grocers of New York.
His contention is that reasonable profit
for one dealer might be an extortionate
one for another. and that the cost of con-
Quoting business is the thing to consider
in fixing prices,
New York grocerymen have received cir
culars from Mr.. Bowers outlining his rea-
sons for opposing the fixing of prices by
the manufacturer. II is pointed out in the
circular that in California the manufac-
turers had published the prices at which
the retailers were expected to sell to the
consumers Accompanying these lists the
manufacturers issued warning that they
would boycott any grocer who failed e
adhere TO their price list.
Among the articles listed were many
which handle and sell profitably for con.
siderably less" complained the Memphi,
tradesman.
He said that a certain brand of tea
which the manufacturers had decreed mus
be sold for 40 cents a half pound in Cali
fornia, he sold for rs cents in Memphis. an,
cleared profit. He also sold certain
brand Of meal at 10 pounds for 20 cents
whereas the list declared the price mus
be 40 cents. The circular added:
Il had pamphlet issued and sent {,
every United States Senator and Congress
man, urging them to pass some kind Of 4
law penalizing attempts to control prices
Just before the adjournment Of congress
succeeded in getting a bill introduced
which means, II passed. freedom for tn,
retailer and protection for the consumer.

CENSUS IN MARYLAND

The federal census means much to Mary
land By the federal figures is compiled
the total representation of the several
counties in the House of Delegates.
By the corrected census Of 1900 Dor
chester and Prince Georges and Montgom-
cry counties each gained delegate.
II is claimed that the new census will
give an additional delegate to Aleeany
Caroline, Frederick, Howard and Kent
BY the federal census is also determined
Marylands representation in the national
congress. If the present ratio of represen-
tation of 100000 of population is in
creased, as is likely, Maryland may lose
one representative. Certainly reappor-
tionment Of the congressional districts of
the State by the next General Assembly
will be necessary.
In the first congress the number of rep
resentatiVes and their apportionment were
fixed in the Constitution. Then Maryland
got six members. as at present. Under
the census of 1870 she had nine members
which was the number at each subsequent
census to 1882. Under the apportionment
OF that year it was reduced to eight. IN
der the census of 1910 and 1850 the num-
Der was six. In 1880 it was five. In 1870,
in consequence of the emancipation, it
was increased to six, at which number it
has remained.
A conservative estimate of Marylands
population as determined by the recent
census is 100000. This figure is arrived
at on a basis of IL per cent during the
past decade. For the 10 years between
1890 and 1900 the increase was IA per
cent, and the same increase may have
been maintained, but the fact is not over
looked in considering the probable rate of
increase that the older the State the more
stable the population. immigration de-
creases. while emigration is apt to increase.
Final figures will not be announced by the
Census Bureau for several weeks.
According to the federal census of 1900
the population Of Maryland in that year
was 1,190.050. The State census taken in
1901 showed the population to be 1, 1881, 651.

POLICE STILL HUNTING FOR

SIayers of MOtOrman Brown VIII Re
Caught.
Especial to Times-Recorder.

lSpGCldI 10 I1Q6S-R6COTQ6F.J
Atlanta, Ca, May 2.--Virtuany
all hope of catching, by means of a
clue, the three negroes who murdered
Motorman S. T. Brown last Saturday
night and fatally wounded Conductor
Waller Bryson, has been given up;
and it is now generally believed that
if they are ever caught it will be after
one of them has given his secret
away.
Such indiscretion can be safely
counted on as a probability, and
where more than one negro is in
volved the chances are even better
Almost invariably a negro criminal
will take somebody, generally a wo-
man, into his confidence, and almost
invariably when he does so the secret
leaks out.
Notwithstanding the fact, however,
that not hint of the identity of the
negroes has been obtained by the po-
lice, they are still at work on the case
and half dozen specially assigned
detectives are putting forth all their
energies in an effort to bring some
thing to light.
The fact that the negroes took the
watches of their victims led the police
to hope, for few days after the COM
mission of the crime, that a clue would
turn up at some of the pawn shops,
but thus far the watches have not
been seen.
