lines OF clothing to be subject to the

mittee of Hamilton county fixing a
profit of not over 80 Is per cent. of
the sale price, were recommended
Wednesday afternoon by b. e. Love
mans subcommittee. The recon-
mendations were before the general

Is chairman, at press time.
The subcommittee recommends

themselves propositions that would worry and hold back the men and the women who are doing the retail service of the country.
 ALSTON'S GENEROUS SERVICE
 Sitting at the table by the side cf Colonel Paxon was Robert c. Aston born and educated in Alabama, whom the colonel designated as holding po- sition at "the very head of the bar in Georgia" He said that MT. Alston had served the people of Atlanta in the fight to retain the capitol, and the At lanta retail merchants in opposing dan gerous tax laws, and that when they came to pay him for his time and his Knowledge, he said No"
 Mir, Alston sat still until the calls for him ran back and forth in ringing cheers over the large hall. Then he stood up and said Atlanta is at her best when serving all Georgia and the south. I am proud that the people of my city let me help, gave me a place to serve them, and are kind enough to say that my services were worth while" He held up beautiful gold watch. the gift of the business men Of the city, presenting if as his most val ued possession, It will be remembered that Mir. Aston headed the Atlanta le gal section in the movement to prevent removal of the state house to Macon. and that he wrote the law parts of the argument wherever they were brought

adverse legislation. both national and state. The famous Seigel bill in Con- gfess. is due for recrudence when the solons ease up from the major ques- tions that now confront them. and it is a bad boy for sure. The Montana trade commission measure will be in the pro- cess of defeat or authorization by the courts. and measures of like intent in Virginia and Texas, and perhaps other states, will rise up or stay dead. to the extent that the business men give them attention.
 DANGER OF THE SEIGEL PLANT
 The annual meeting of the Atlanta Retail Merchants association was the occasion of the address of the big as- sociation secretary, who came south for this service. He was introduced by Col. Fred Paxon. past president of the Atlanta association, and a vice presi- dent of the national body. From the kickoff MT. Hahn stressed the dark clouds of adverse legislation and made it plain that good work was necessary to keep the menace down
 The Seigel bill, which Mir. Hahn says the author will push a the present ses- sion, requires that goods shall be marked at actual invoice cost with nothing added for overhead. Section 2 would force every merchant to be li- | business which he transacts, together with such other information the col lector shall require" and shall pay for such license the sum of S10. Section provides that he shall not offer any goods for sale upon which is not stamped or printed thereon or attached thereto "a card showing the true, ac- tual cost price thereof" and whoever fails under either section may be fined S5O00 and imprisoned for two years or both.
 MONTANA TRADE COMMISSION
 On the passage of the Montana Trade commission bill, with it's sweeping pro- visions for digging into the very vitals of the retail trade. the National asso- citation and allied influences secured an Injunction preventing it's operations from the United States court. They are to take it to the supreme court of the nation for final adjudication. If this body finds that by law the merchants have to mark their cost price without head" said MT. Hahn then we are in for difficulties" He felt however, that there is not such demand for this kind of thing as to put 1t through if the in
 diyidual merchants and business men do their full duty
 Of bills of like nature in Virginia and Texas there is just now no great dan ger But the tendency is rife and mer- chants are urged to keep their eyes open. Co-opera ton can keep down the movement. for it has been found that the legislators are not al all arbitrary in this direction. that they are willing to listen to the business men and for
 the most part quite ready toreven fight

the formally announced split between MT. Bryan and Mir. Wilson was the spectacular feature of the democratic
 gathering, by no means did MT. Bryan monopolize the situation. Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer received
 more applause on his first appearance 1 than did Mir. Bryan, and the Pennsyl- yania democrat made a decidedly Ia vorable impression by advocating con tinued proceeding with all constituted force and authority against the anarch- ists seeking to destroy the country-a nefarious crew to which MT. Bryan, in
 his carefully prepared address, made
 no reference. Former Secretary w. G.
 McAdoo, speaking by letter, precipi- tated applause when he assailed the re- publican control of Congress. charging that control with demonstrated ina bility constructively to legislate, and with the death of countless suffering
 women and children of Europe made
 necessary through the partys desire for political spoils
 Governor Cox was more eloquent than Bryan. The Ohio statesman, who is regarded as one of the strongest democratic possibilities. went after" the republican party with Hammer and tongs" He was applauded to the echo. He impressed the gathering with his gift of speech, his boldness, his strength, and his personal grace and attractiveness. Governor Cornwell of West Virginia attracted unusual atten- i ton when he differed with Bryan on 1 the labor question. He served notice, 1 in a ringing appeal and in the most emphatic manner that the people of 1 the United States would break down domination by labor just as they had. broken down the domination of capi- tai.
 Ambassador Gerard was disappoint- | ing. He said nothing of an unusual character unless his recommendation that the treaty be compromised and ratified comes under that category. He revealed distressing limitations in re- spect to ability clearly cleverly or elo- quently to express his thoughts. The democrats displayed desire to avoid a discussion of prohibition. It
 was mentioned as party asset just once. Mrs. Oleson, national committee
 woman from. Minnesota. declared in her
 address that the party could go to the
 people boosting it's responsibility for
 the eighteenth amendment There was
 long silence, in which the leaders
 looked into the faces of each other.
 Then there was a little embarrassed
 laughter. The situation. became so
 awkward that even MT. Bryan indu1ged
 that grim, tight smile which during re-
 cent years he has studiously effected.
 Secretary Daniels delivered an ad-
 dress. He declared the treaties nego-
 tiated by Bryan laid the foundation for
 the League of Nations even though
 they did not prevent war. But the re-
 marks of the Secretary were not con-
 strued as presenting an invidious com
 parison between MT. Wilson and MT.
 Bryan, or as deprecatory of the efficacy
 of the League of Nations to put an end
 to carnage and bloodshed.
