TO UNITE RETAILERS
New Organization Now Awaits
Final Approval.
MEETING IS HELD TODAY
Report Read Must Be Ratified by
Chamber of Commerce.
REQUIREMENT OF MEMBERSHIP
ALI Will Be Asked to Join the
Parent Organization-No
Other Dues.

Inc formal organization of the Retail
Merchants Association of the Chamber
or commerce, as an auxiliary of the par
ent body, only awaits the final approval
of the Chamber of Commerce and the
provisional Retail Merchants Associa.
ton
At meeting of the officers and board
OF governors of the provisional assocla-
ton and of the special committee ap-
pointed by the board of directors of the
chamber, held today in the Chamber of
Commerce, report was made by Joseph
Strasburger, temporary president of the
Retail Merchants Association, which con-
tanned the plan of organization of the Re
tail Merchants Association of the Cham
Der of Commerce. This report was ap-
proved, and will be submitted to the
chamber and the provisional association
for their ratification. Undoubtedly the
report will be approved by both, and re-
tailers will begin active work immedi-
ately.
In order to conform to the constitution
of the chamber as it touches upon the
formation of auxiliary associations. all
the members of the new association will
be members of the chamber. This will
give the retailers associat ton a member
ship of about 125 to start with. Prac-
tlcally all those retail merchants who
slgnified their intentions of Joining the
new association who were not previously
members of the chamber have joined
the chamber.
Aim of Organization.
The aim of the new association is to
promote the interests of retail trade in
Washington, to establish credit bureau
and to get the retailers together to ad-
vance their special interests.
There will be no other dues for men,
bership in the new association other
than those paid by the merchants as
members of the Chamber of Commerce.
However, to meet expenses which may
arise in the advancement of the in
terests of the retailers particularly,
there may at times be tax upon the
members of the association.
The board of directors of the Cham
Der of Commerce has already given
consent to the establishment of the re-
tailers association. provided they all
are members of the chamber, so it is
apparent that the association will go
forward now without a hitch.
The officers of the retailers association
at present are Joseph Strasburger, presi-
dent; James F. Oyster, vice president:
r. C. Dulin, treasurer; George Gall, sec
retaary. The board of governors consists

Typhoid fever, spread by flies. with per-

into great prominence.
Thirty-one cases were reported last
week, nearly three times the number re-
ported the week previous, and as yet no
cause for the disease. other than the
filthy fly, has been advanced. Inspectors
who have secured the city in the locali-
ties where the fever has been reported
can find no insanitary conditions, but in
statement made by DR.. Woodward to-
day the remark that perhaps flies are
responsible is buried in mass of good
advice as to how to keep the germs from
patients body from spreading to
others.
Other than the spread of typhoid by the
ordinary means of the fly no reason can
be attributed to the sudden rise in the
number of cases.
