T.. 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
III Is being looked forward to by the
commercial interests Of the entire
state. 1t is claimed that in addition
10 perfecttng 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
cial organizations it appears to be the
most active. In the line of new 1egis-
lation, in addition to the untrue anu
misleading advertisement bill and the
ltinerant vendor measure, which have
been approved In a former convention
and were presented to the last legis-
Iature, entirely new laws will be pro-
posed by the committee on legislation.
and an appropriation will be sought
to permit the committee to have a rem
resentative In Charleston to look after
the welfare of the bills during the
session OF the legislature.
An amended bad check 1tw has
neen prepared, as has the amendment
TO the embezzlement section OF the
code. 1t has long been the desire of
the business interests to secure In
this state e statute similar to the gar
nishee law of the state Of Ohio. bnt II
mas always been held that such law
IN west virginia would be unconsti-
tutionaS. However, during the last
year every section OF the code bear
ing on schedules and exemptions has
Deen examined and analized, and de-
cfsions 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-
tional but fair and equitable to all.
The details Of this plan will be pre-
scented to the convention.
What promises to be a most in
teresting feature Of the program VIII
be an address by G. Burgess Taylor,
of Wheeling, along the line Of the
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, to this
state for series Of lectures last win
ter.
The situation in some sections Of
our state at this writing indicates that
some remedial agency must be sought
and II Mr.. Taylor's plan has merit,
his address will receive close attgn-
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 well directed effort to put
laws on the books in the interest Of
