Preliminary steps were taken last night
by the retail trade committee OF the
Chamber of Commerce to form the mer-
chants of the city into a working organ
ization auxiliary to the Chamber. A mo-
ton was passed that such an organiza-
ton be formed. and second motion pro-
vided for special committee or FIVE 20
work out the plan Of the association and
submit it 10 future meeting OF the
committee.
This action was discussed at a special
meeting OF the committee held some
weeks ago. and was brought up again
last night by Chairman Joseph Stras-
burger who said he thought the matter
was now ripe for definite steps TO be
taken toward carrying out the views OF
the committee.
Works Well In Norfolk
A communication was read from the
secretary OF the retail trade organization
at Norfolk. setting forth the advantages
to be derived for associated and con-
eerted action. The letter mentioned the
working out of a credit bureau, OF the
abolition OF discounts through societies
20 its members, the reduction in the
number and cost OF licenses. the elimina-
ton Of many abuses which had formerly
prevailed, and a general beJterment OF
the merchant and his business because
OF the activity OF the organization TO
which he belongs
The advisability OF a credit bureau
conducted by the merchants themselves,
through the agency OF hired secretary,
was discussed, Joseph Schenker telling
IL
this line in the city OF Buffalo. But IL
was soon discovered that the credit sys-
tenn was part and parcel OF the organiZa-
ton idea, and it was thought best TO get
the merchants together with common
purposes before starting out to remedy
evils which now AFFECT retail trade.
Form of Association.
A motion was made that an association
be formed OF the retail merchants, indie
pendent OF the Chamber Of Commerce.
Several OF the committee took exceptions
to this, notably Morris Hahn and Nj. A.
Lease. both OF whom advocated the
formation OF the body within the
Chamber and auxiliary to II. This idea
prevailed, especially after Capt. James +.
oyster had called attention 10 the pro-
vision IN the constitution Of the Chamber
allowing the formation Of such bodies
auxiliary 10 1t, and after he had spoken
Of the advantages that would follow the
association Of the retail merchants with
the large and influential body into which
the Chamber had now grown.
No objection 10 this course developed
and the vote was unanimous in favor OF
such an organization. Chairman Stras-
burger said he would appoint the COM
mlttee on organization within day or
two.
Another matter considered by the COM
mittee was tho annual sale OF the goods
from the Dead Letter Office by the Post
office Department, and action was taken
with a view TO calling the attention Of
the Postmaster General TO the undignified
manner in which these sales are now
conducted

OFFICERS TO BE RECALLED.
Dickinson Orders Special Attaches
to Return to Their Regiments.

Secretary Of War Dickinson has direct
ed the heads OF the various staff corps
Of the army. thu Isthmian Canal Com
mission. and other departments OF the
government having army officers detailed
for duty therein, and not provided for by
law, to take immediate steps to rearrange
their work with a view OF returning as
many officers as possible TO their organ
izations.
This action was taken by Mr.. Dickinson
because he believes that the efficiency OF
the army demands that as many officers
be ordered back TO their companies and
regiments as possible. For several years
absenteeism has been one OF the principal
defects in the army and many depart
ment commanders in their annual reports
to the department have called attention to
the situation.
Secretary Dickinson has also directed
that as many Of the recently retired
officers as are willing TO go upon active
duty at colleges and In other positions
where their services can be utilized be
sent 10 replace officers on the active list
Secretary Dickinson has also recon-
nnended the immediate passage OF a bill
to place the general staff of the army on
the same plane as other stan corps

FEEDING THE PEOPLE TURNIPs
Col. Bonner Of Toledo Brings Them
From HE Farm by Carload Tor

Toledo. Feb. 23.-Telling the people
that he was giving them the best tur.
nips he had raised and that he was
doing this as warning against high
priced grocers, Col. J. G. Bonner.
prominent in the Republican councils
Of Ohio, brought down upon his head
the abuse Of hundreds Of Toledo's best
known merchants. He hauled to that
city an entire carload Of the best tur.
nips raised on his farm at Chillicothe.
He advertised that he would give
them away in plentiful quantities to
those who needed them. He made .
speech to the assembled people, who
came with baskets. boxes and sacks,
telling them that he would not sell the
produce to the wholesalers because Of
their low price and that he desired
rather to dish them out to the people
and pay the freight himself. Col. Bon
ner says that both wholesalers and
retailers are making "scads" Of money
as their profit and that he doesn't pro-
pose to aid them. Four more carloads
