Policy Toward Manufactures.

Representative Murray Of Massachu-

manufacturing plants in the District was
one reason why the garbage plant should
not be located here.

and the cost of living is lower. perhaps
in Baltimore than in any large city in the
United States. In one big market alone
600 wagons are accommodated with curl
space, and this Is only one Of eleven large
markets distributed over the city. Al
though charges to the farmer are insig-
nificant, the total returns pay all the
expenses of maintaining markets and
give the city q handsome interest on the
million and a quarter dollars 1t had in
vested in them.
Baltimore established it's first market
of this kind in 1851. It raised the money
for it by holding a lottery. The I1exing-
to market is said to be one Of the largest
in the world. and it takes care of 5O,OCC
marketers every day. 1t Is, In reality. the
old village market system expanded to
metropolitan proportions, and perhaps
more people go to market In Baltimore
than in any other city in the country.
The 800 farmers wagons contain only a
very small portion of the food supply.
and yet they practically regulate food
prices in Baltimore.
Another remedy proposed is the elimi-
nation Of false weights and measures and
the requirement that all
False package goods shall have
the true weight of their
WeI6AtS. contents printed on them.
It has been estimated by the sealer Of
weights and measures for the District OF
Columbia-and 1t is probable that no
where else in America is the law OF
weights and measures better enforced
that the average shortage by reason OF
short weights and measures and light
weight packages in the District amounts
to from 12 to 10 per cent Of the total
value of the products sold. This process
Of charging the consumer $1.12 or S1.15

made, the sealer Of weights and measures
Of the District confesses that he is un-
able. with the means at hand. to wipe

from the manufacturer instead of pa
troniz.ng the wholesaler. In many cases
his orders are larger than those of small
wholesalers. yet he himself declares that
he has been as consistently turned down
as the consumers are turned down by the
wholesalers.
Whether there is any legal remedy
against this sort of procedure Is ques-
ton. 1t is a system of distribution that
has existed for SO many years that many
feel the courts would not hold it a COM
bination in restraint of trade. Yet there
have been cases where such combinations
have been broken up. Back In the early
9Os a combination was formed by manu-
factllrers of funeral supplies and the
funeral directors. The association OF
manufa cturerS was known as the Nation
al Burial Case Association. and in each
state there was an association of funeral
directors Many of these associations en-
ter into agreements with the National
Burial Case Association, providing that
the latter association would sell funeral
supplies only to such funeral directors as
were members of the Funeral Directors
Association. In one instance a house III
Baltimore which was member or the
National Burial Case Association had
been patronized for years by Virginia
firm of undertakers. Upon the receipt OF
an order for goods from this firm II was
advised that in the future it could sell
only to those who were members or the
Funeral Directors Association OF vlr-
ginia Attempts on the part or the nrfn
to buy elsewhere led to similar replies ana
advice to the firm to join the F'unerai Di-
rectors' Association of Virginia.
This association proved to be a close
corporation and only few nndertakers
could get into 1T. At this juncture the
undertakers decided to carry the case to
the federal courts under the Sherman
antitrust law A like procedure had been
followed in Kansas and the association.
fearful of the penalty of the law. entire
ly rescinded this restrictive agreement.
The Virginia association likewise did SO.
and from that day to this no attempted
monopoly of burial supplies has ever been
made in the United States.

Virginia to choose delegates to Balti-

convention in Parkersburg on Thurs

sixteen delegates to Baltimore from
this state will be uninstructed as to a
candidate for the presidency. Some
of the districts may instruct, but the
party leaders in general favor an I'M
pledged delegation. Champ Clark is
apparently the favorite among the ma

Harmin has considerable strength in
