Wholesale Grocer says Parcel Post
Robs Country of Many Dollars.

Voieing a protest against the par
eel post ststem, not in its theory. but
against its practice as carried on I'M
der the method now employed, Oscar
McGlasson, president of the National
Wholesale Grocers Association
launched an inyective against the
p~ostofiee department last Monday be
fore the National Gamers associa-
ton at the Hotel Aston in New York.
He said The present parcel post
plan will centeralize commercial en-
deavor into the mail order houses
and will create the greatest monopo-
lies the world has ever known. II
has required many years to build our.
country up to its high commercial
and industrial position and to lose
prestige in the worlds business with
out a protest is not expected. We
will know that it is not economy to
centralize the business of this eoun-
try into the hands of a few Ger
and thereby build up a monopoly Of
the channels OF distribution.
This Is what the parcel post is
doing and the oil, steel or tobacco
trusts will soon be pigmies compared
with the mail order trusts. with the
United States as chief partner and no
share in the profits"

the proffer of good ONCE" made
January 10 by Seth Low, heading

The operators signing the letter
objected TO the presence of Patrick

is under the domination of Gllday.

Some men have so much work TO do
