CRUSADE AGAINST
TRANSIENT FIRMS
Legislation Needed to Prohibit
''Itinerant' Merchants Doing
Business Here.
CONGRESS WILL NOT ACT

Effects of The Washington Herald
campaign in the interests OF merchants
OF the District of Columbia against those
OF ''itinerant merchants who open
shops here for a few days only merely
for the disposal OF cheap stocks. ac-
quired generally under bankrupt" or
fire sales. are being felt, Washing
ton business man said last night
Merchants of the District are in a Pc
cullarly helpless condition against the
inroads of these ''itinerants." 1t was
pointed out. In most other cities, in
those of Virginia. for example. the re-
tail merchants, either individually or
through their organizations. exert sufi-
cient influence to induce their State or
municipal legislators to enact high
license laws for their protection. In the
District, however. the Commissioners
who have a sympathetic knowledge OF
local conditions, are powerIess to fix
license so high as to exclude the "itin-
Grants" and Congress, which has the
power. has not the inclination. II seems.
TO increase the charges for retail busi-
ness when conducted by non-resldents
who remain in the community only long
enough to exploit the people and gather
for immediate removal large sums OF
money by swift. cheap sales.
Both the Board Of Trade and Chamber
of Commerce have recommended TO Con-
gress the enactment OF legislation which
would fix the licenses to 'itinerant" mer-
chants at prohibitive amounts The rec
concentrations. however, have not in
duced Congress to remedy local condi-
tion..
Do Much Harm.
To its words of preachment against
any encouragement OF the "itinerant"
merchants The Washington Herald added
the forceful practice of declining to ac-
cept any advertising from these trades
men who The Washington Herald has
declared are harmful to the community
since neither are the people real benefi-
ciarfes Of lowered prices or better goods
nor are the resident merchants, who
commerce in the District, stimulated to
a helpful competition.
Merchants resident in Washington as
sert, as was pointed out by The Wash
ington Herald, that the entrance Of these
itinerant merchants does much harm and
no good at all to the business interests
Of the community.
The Washington Herald's declaration
and practice OF not accepting advertising
from those merchants are the nucleus.
1t was said. around which the peoples
loyalty to their home merchants is FORM
ing.
Both The trade bodies. II is understood.
intend to keep up their Contest for the
needed legislation. Its enactment by
Congress at this session now seems i'm
possible, but there is every reason for
hope that II will have attention when
Congress reconvenes in December.

the commissioner of the London police
had to provide a strong police guard TO
keep the traffic open and save the ladies
Of Marlborough and Crewe from being

fFrom Tho Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. Jan. 22-In belated report
filed to-day the House committee which in
yestigated the Wiley McCabe controversy
last August finds that DR.. Harvey w. Wiley
Is guiltless of the charges OF Conspiracy
to pay unauthorized prices for expert as
sistance, that the Remsen board should be
abolished unless sanctioned by act of Con-
gregs and that the Bureau of Chemistry
should have additional latitude in the en-
forcement of the pure food laws
The report Is an even tempered. rather
tame document, from the more rabid DEM
ocratic point Of view. 1t does not recon-
mend the dismissal of Solicitor McCabe, ac-
cused of obstructive methods In the en-
forcement of the pure fsod law, although II
approves his removal from the food ana
drug inspection board, which was already
accomplished by departmental order
In many respects the report follows the
conclusions of the President, who long ago
exonerated Or. Wiley of the charges OF
conspiracy I'm connection with tho Rusby
contract. and whose prompt decision made
the long postponed report OF the House IN
vestigating committee a matter OF super
erogation.
The committee questions the authority by
which the Remsen referee board was Gre
ated and criticises the comparatively large
expenses Of the board to its decisions ana
the extent 10 which they have been accept
cd as final by the Secretary OF Agriculture.
The recommendation is made that the
hoard should either be discontinued or be
authorized by Congress with clear de1ni-
ton Of its powers.
Notwithstanding the secrecy with which
the House committee attempted to surround
It's deliberations the substance OF the re-
port filed to-day was accurately foretold IN
these dispatches several days ago. The
report, in part, follows:
Your committee does not question the mo-
tives or the sincerity OF the Secretary OF
Agriculture. whose long service at the head
OF the Department OF Agriculture has hecn
a signal service to the American people.
From the beginning. however, the Secre-
tarv has apparently assumed that his duties
