=. w. Dudderar, secretary of the
local board Of trade, has received the
following letter for publication IN
connection with the convention:
MY Dear Mr.. Dudderar:
Kindly give publicity through your
newspapers along the following line:
THE meeting of the Business Mems
association in Clarksburg, June and
~ Is being looked forward to by the
commercial interests of the entire
STATE. 1t Is claimed that in addition
to perfecting the credit rating for use
by retail merchants and the system
OF collection Of delinquent accounts.
certain reforms will be offered u
specific and concrete form.
Notwithstanding that this associa-
ton Is the newest among the CONNER
ctal organizations 1t appears to be the
most active. In the line Of new Iegis-
lation, in addition to the untrue ana
misleading advertisement bill and the
ltinerant vendor measure, which have
been approved in former convention
and were presented to the last legis-
lature, entirely new laws will be pro-
posed by the committee on LEGISLATION.
and an appropriation will be sought
TO permit the committee to have rep.
resentative in Charleston to look after
the welfare Of the bills during the
session of the legislature.
An amended bad check INV has
been prepared, as has the Amendments

the business interests to secure IA

In West Virginia would be unconEti-

been examined and analized, and de-
clslons by the courts of West Virginia
bearing on the subject given careful
consideration. The result OF this
work is that plan has been evolved
which is said to be not only constitu-
uonal but fair and equitable to ali.
The details Of this plan will be pre-
sented to the convention.
What promises to be a most IN
teresttng feature Of the program will
be an address by C. Burgess TAYLOR
Of Wheeling, along the line Of M
adoption in West Virginia Of a law
similar to the Canadian labor disputes
act. Mr., Taylor has been STUDYING
this subject for some time and was IN
strumental in bringing Mckenzie King.
the father OF the Canadian law. Ia this
state Tor series Of lectures last win

The situation in some sections Of
our state at this writing indicates that
some remedial agency must be sought,
and If Mr.. Taylor's plan has merit
his address win receive close ATTN
ton
"The administration OF the Business
Mems Association is to be highly COM
mended for its progressive policies
and its accomplishments, and espec-
tally for its we'll directed effort to nut
laws on the books In the interest Of
