Albany Feb. ll.--Nearly Ave hundred
merchants headed by ex-senator Travis.

tees on Agriculture raised a loud protest
against tho Roosevelt Cole bill for the
chants. They said the enactment OF this
measure would result in nothing less than
the humiliation OF the commission bust
ness. and. instead OF reducing. would add
TO tho cost of living.
Senator Roosevelt and Assemblyman
Cole afterward declared their determine
ton 10 report tho bill. with few amend
ments. to meet some Of tho loudest objec-
tons OF the commission men, and they are
confident it will bo passed.
The requiring of bonds aroused the
greatest opposition. and Assembyman
cole said IL has been decided TO cut out
this section. lie believes the important
part of the bill IL that which provides for
the licensing OF commission merchants
and gives power 70 the Commissioner OF
Agriculture 10 revoke a license for cause,
his only limitation being a court review.
This section will be retained in the
face OF all opposition said Mr.. Cole.
Another proposed amendment provides
that hearings on complaints against a
commission merchant shall be held in the
city or town in which his place OF business
is located
