CREDIT
men MEET HERE
Report Shows Many New
Accounts Opened by
Merchants of City.

The credit mems section of the Re-
tail Merchants Association held the
first fall dinner meeting at the New
Ebbitt Hotel last night. when the
committee on supervision of the
Credit Bureau of the Retail Mer-
chants Association made a most in
teresting report of the development of
the bureau In its new form since July
1 last.
Despite the great labor scarcity and
the tremendous volume of specially
hard business that was brought about
due to the thousands Of strangers that
have come to Washington" said the
report. ''the credit bureau of the Re-
tail Merchants Association made a
fine record for the past four months.
and II Is the opinion Of your commit
tee that the organization has been
perfected to a point that insures very
ultimate in credit service"
ITO Judge from the new accounts
that have been opened by the mer-
chants of Washington. the population
must have increased at least 10000 in
the last few months. and the end of
the increase is not in sight
Secretary Chas. j. Columbus. gave
a resume of the activities of the
Credit Bureau, and gave particular
reference to the steps that have been
taken during the past few months to
stamp out the bad check evil.
'In this matter We have the hearty
cooperation of the police depart
ment," said Secretary Columbus,
land every instance of the giving of
bad checks reported to that depart
ment has been followed UP by swift
action on the part of Inspector Grant
and his detectives. We are going to
continue this same vigilance and
when Congress convenes in Decem-
ber we feel sure that the bill be-
fore that body covering the giving
of bad checks will be quickly passed.
We have the most substantial evil
dence Of an official character of the
great need of this legislation; but we
will not be lax in our efforts to bring
givers OF bad checks to speedy
justice.
David Sanger. who represented the
Credit Mems Section of the Retail
Merchants Association at the Ma
tional Credit Mems Convention in
Cleveland, made a most interesting
report of the proceedings of that con-
vention, through which the credit
bureau of the Retail Merchants As
sociation completed arrangements for
securing reliable Information from all
the large cities of the United States.
A. V. Hoffman,, chairman of the
Credit Mems Section, presiding. and
c. NJ. Keefer Leo Baum, Mark Lans-
burgh, p. J. McMullen, David San
ger and Herbert Rich, signed the re-
port of the committee an supervision

will of the Party, when plainly ex-
pressed, has ever been my guide and
shall be in this matter. So friends,
let's all pull together and elect the
whole ticket nominated on last Sat-
urday, from top to bottom. Thank
ing those who in any manner rend-
cred any assistance whatsoever in
my behalf and with the kindest of

WORKERS WALK OUT
AT CEMENT MILLS

Work at the Kosomosdale Portland
Cement Company's plant, at Kosmos-
dale, on the Eighteenth Street Road
was hampered yesterday as result
of the strike by a number of the 200
men employed at the plant.
The strikers assert they have been
compelled to work twelve hours a
day on both the day and night shifts
They have demanded an eight-hour
shift at the wages paid for the twelve
hour shift.
Capt. Conliffe, Chief of the County
Police Department, stationed four
county patrolmen at the plant last
night to guard against any outbreaks
on the part of the striking workers.
One arrest was made at Z O'Clock
when Tom Monroe, striker, it is
charged, created a disturbance and
refused to leave when ordered away
by officers. He was brought to the
county Jail charged with breach OF
the peace by Patrolmen Saunders
and Demarsh. His case will be tried
in Magistrate O'Brien's Court.
Some of the men announced their
intention of returning to work today,
and it is believed there will be no
further trouble.-Louisville Herald.

TO THE REPUBLICANS
OF OHIO COUNTY

Hartford, KY, Aug. 8, 1917.
The Primary election is over. Esq.
Mack Cook has been nominated for
County Judge by a majority of SO
votes. / have heretofore privately
assured him of my hearty support
and take this method of publicly de-
claring my willingness to submit to
majority of the voters. l never at
any time had any personal desire to
be County Judge of Ohio County, and
only entered this race for the NOM
nation after insistent solicitation
from various leaders of the Repub-
lican party over the county.
To have been nominated and ele-
cted County Judge would have meant
sacrifice financially for me, but
after so many had solicited me and
had obligated themselves to me felt
that l owed it to them and to the
party which has heretofore honored
me to offered myself to be used as
the party might see fit. / believed at
the time / announced that | could be
of some service to the party as well
as to the county if nominated and
elected County Judge.
l have always, even before ! was
old enough to vote, fought the bat
ties of the Republican party. con-
tributing both my time and money
for its cause. Both my father and
father-in-law were Republicans,
standing for Republican principles
back in the days when Ohio County
was practically solidly Democratic,
and when it took courage to be
Republican, / have never been any
thing but a Republican, have never
deserted the party at any time or
place, although both me and my son
have each been turned down we are
both still Republicans in the fullest
meaning of the word, and take this
method of thanking each of my
friends who so loyalty stood by me In
my fight assuring them / shall al
ways remember II and shall take
pleasure in doing anything in my
power to repay them. To those who
saw fit to support either of my OPP
ponents. l have nothing but the best
of feeling, recognizing their right
and privilege to so do, and assuming
that they did so because they thought
1t to the best interest of the party.
Assuring you of my hearty sup
port of the ticket nominated from
top TO bottom, and with kindest and
