ONLY ONE DELIVERY DAILY
Our Groeerymen Will Be Forced TO
Cooperate and Conform TO the
Government Regulations.

After the first of the new year the
Holt Grocery Company and Coffman
and Towers adopt the delivery system
as prescribed by the government
This will mean but one delivery a day
by a cooperative system COnsum-
ers should understand that there is
no choice in this matter as rules will
be strictly enforced by government
officials.
This was one of the first reforms
suggested by the government to re-
lease men and material. Subsequent
ly the announcement was made that
these curtailments would be insisted
upon, and that retail merchants every
where would be called upon to comply
herewith. 1t was also stated that
force would be used, if necessary, and
that violations would be reported to
the various state councils, which
would be instructed to see to it that
the regulations are complied with.
The latest statement from that board
seems to point out that there will he no
further delay, and that retail grOcers
and others will be forced to adhere to
one delivery daily regardless of the
attitude of the customers. Moreover
the board intends to insist upon the
formation Of cooperative delivery
companies in order to reduce the ex-
pense if the retailers will not volun-
tarily take advantage of their oppor-
tunity.
The boards recommendations have
been adopted as a whole or in part in
cities with total population of ap.
proXimately 10 millions, and as re-
suit at least $4,000 men called for war
service have not had to be replaced
from the limited labor supply avail
able for the essential industries.
I'VE have been content to let the
changes proceed by easy stages, be-
cause experience was needed" said
A. w. Shaw, chairman Of the board
AT the outset we were able only to
say it was evident that these changes
would produce important savings of
labor. But now we have actual re-
suits to show it. One store, for in
stance, has saved "a out of 167 men,
by adopting the recommendations
another out of 8; another II out of
Sc; another out of AZ; another out
Of 3, and so on.
THE savings from cooperative de-
livery systems are even greater. An
agent of the board has made a care
full, first-hand study of twenty-one of
these systems. They require a total
of 2O7 men, as compared with $50 men
required for the individual systems re
plaCed-a saving Of 452 men, or 6S per
cent-and the service to the customer
is practically everywhere as good as
it was before, and in some places
better.
ut is now plain that in these two
ways-by cooperative systems in the
smaller communities and one delivery
a day throughout the cOuntry-more
than 10000 men can be released to
meet the increasing need of workers
in agriculture, ship building, muni-
tiOns making, mining, railroading and
the other vital work"
