MERCHANTS DISCUSS
DELIVERY QUESTION
Decide on New Plan AS
Suggested by Council
of Defense
COMMITTEES TO BE
NAMED LATER

Merchants Of this city met in the
rooms Of the Chamber Of Commerce
last night in the interest Of the move
ment OF the National Council Of De-
tense, which is inauguratlng through
out the country a cooperative delivery
system IN an endeavor TO eliminate all
unnecessary work, such as the handling
Of c. o. d. orders and special deliveries.
The meeting was well attended, and the
subject was considered from every
viewpoint. The measure Is purely a
war emergency.
The matter Is Of the utmost import
snce both TO the merchant and the gov
ernment and that Wilmington viii be to
the front and take the load according
to the size Of the city Is evidenced By
the fact that there was much more
than a good showing at the meeting,
despite the inclement weather.
The recommendations in questions
are made at the instance Of the Ma
tional Council OF Defense and they in
volve:
First: That only one delivery a day
be made over any given route by local
merchants.
second: That the privilege Of re-
turning goods be restricted to a limited
time, and
Third: That a cooperative system be
formed among the several classes OF
business men.
The dry goods and the grocer mer-
chants are In the majority in numbers
and those two classes OF business Will
lead in the makeup Of the system.
The three propositions were discuss
ed from every viewpoint and those
present unanimously decided to carry
out the plan with all possible speed
Committees will be appointed to shape
up matters, and IL Is expected thai
the system will be In working order
Just as soon as the committees car
arrange their plans aud report for del
mite action.
It is believed that 10000 men arr
n5edlessly employed throughout th'
Uuiied States 10 retail delivery service
and that by a readjustment these mel
could be released for other employment
especially for war work services Real
iling the need OF every man. and to-
conservation In this line, the Council
Of National Defense has authorized th
board TO Cooperate with the merchant
IN bringing about these adjustments.
The women are asked to do thei
share in the readjustment. The mer
chants last night voted lnat the womel
Of the city and state cooperate IN ever
way. They can see that they have s.
made up and placed their order TIA
it will meet up with the merchant,

they can see to Is that when they dis
cover that II Is necessary 70 have good
