TRAVELLING MEN
WANT MORE LAW
Hotel Measure Should Be Am
plihed, According to Ma
jority Opinion.

Continuing in its program of en-
conraging Legislation looking to the
protection and comfort of travellers
the Virginia Travellers Association
IN annual session at Murphys Hotel
last night voted unanimously to ask
for an application of the hotel bill
which was recently passed in modi-
lied form after being advocated by the
association. While the law as il
stands removes many of the evils that
obtained prior to It's passage, the
delegates felt that its usefulness has
been Impaired by the modification that
1T suffered in tho course OF passage
ana declared themselves In favor Of
more legislation on this subject us
we'll as on the related .one of measures
to prevent the formation of transfer
monopolies by tho railroads in the
various cities of the State.
Undecided ns TO Mileage hook.
On the question of legislation
requiring the railroad companies to
pull mileage on tho cars, the associa-
ton was unable to reach a hard and
fast agreement 1t was generally
agreed by the delegates that such !.
law would work no hardship on the
railroad companies, but before COM
hitting 1t TO any definite course, tile
association voted TO refer the matter
to the executive committee for full in
Nestigation and final action.
The convention declared itself in
favor of legislation increasing TO 200
pounds tho amount of baggage permit :
ted on hrst-ciass ticket, and TO cx-
tend tho free storage limit allowed TO
commercial travellers. The latter
measure is designed TO secure TO the
travelling man the privilege Of lcav-
ing his trunks in stations " hen he Is
spending Sunday at home or outside
his business territory. and in this
manner saving TO commercial houses
a considerable sum in transfer fees
incurred In taking trunks to and from,
stations.
