GRAY ASKS VERTREEz
To SUPPORT MEASURE
ALREADY IN CONGRESS

Congressman Finly Gray has writ
ten to S. E. Vertreez concerning the
petition presented by him March 4.
The petition asks that congress pass
law forbidding the interstate ship
ment or the slaughtering Of calves
that are under two years of age. Con-
gresham Gray in his letter says that
bill is already before congress that
forbids male calves under two years
old and female COWS under seven
years old from being slaughtered. Mr..
Vertreez will give support to this
measure instead of pushing his petit
ton further.
Mr.. VertreeZ said this morning that
he believed that the other bill was
presented just to kill his petition, for
he says that the seven year limit
placed on female COWS is too high
and would cause the bill to be de-
feated. He will write to Mr.. Gray
and inform him to carry the petition
on through.
The petition was presented with the
belief that such law would lower
the price of beef, and the price of
shoe leather. Mr.. Vertreez said this
morning.

COAL DEALERS
MEET TONIGHT
TO SET PRICES

Possibly by tomorrow Richmond
.householders will know what price
they will have to pay on the various
grades of coal they want to place in
their homes this spring and summer
for next winters use.
The association of Richmond retail
coal dealers, comprising practically all
of them, will hold meeting tonight
and establish a schedule of prices, thus
insuring them against the horrors" of
price-cutting war, such as was waged
annually In the days when competition
was keen and profits elusive.
Coal dealers say that the schedule
of rates they establish are reasonable
and net the dealers only a fair margin
of profit. The rates, they states, are
based on those established by the min
ing interests.
Citizen Asked Quotation.
One citizen who asked for quota
tion on certain grade of coal was in
formed yesterday by south end coal
dealer that no price could be quoted
until after our meeting Monday
night" The same dealer today, how
ever, informed'a reporter that he had
no information that the dealers were
to meet tonight, adding that he sup
posed they would meet some time
soon"
Last year the coal dealers assoc
iation, which is an incorporated or
ganization, prepared what was called
"dead-beats' list and all whose
names appeared on this list were re-
fused credit, being required to pay
cash for all coal bought. Also the
"dead-beats" had to pay all over due
bills before a dealer would accept a
new order Dealers state that this sys-
TEN completely eliminated beating"
of coal bills.
