benches remained empty. When they
finally began to fill up it was the eX-
IRENE left wing which first showed
signs of life. The centrists. conserva-
tives and nationalists were the last
to take their seats, their idea being
purposely to delay the session. es-
pecially after word had gone around
that several entente representatives
were in the diplomatic box.
On the whole the meeting turned
out to be a quiet affair. This perhaps
was because the discussion was put
off until today. At first it was sup
posed that the right wing would take
advantage of the opportunity to stage
demonstration against the present
government and incidentally also
against the entente and the treaty of
Versailles. Such demonstration.
however. failed to take place. 1t may
have been postponed until today.
The hooting that became general
among the parliamentarians at Min
lister Simons' mention of the threat
to keep Germany out of the league
of nations altogether was the only
butburst of any consequence that
took place at the session.

tended the recent suffrage hearings
the organization adopted the report
and authorized the committee to con
tinue and to represent the associa-
ton in favor of the Burroughs resolu-
ton
This action was taken after e. G.

GROCERS T0SLASH
PRICES IN DISTRICT
ESQ Will Buy Collectively at
Points Where Goods Are
Produced.

Two hundred and fifty local grocers
have banded together in the Ameri-
can Grocers' Society. with local head
quarters at 621 Louisiana avenue. for
the purpose of collective buying at
the place of production, and institut-
ing lover selling prices through CO.
ordinated buying arrangements, it
was announced today by c. Il. Pinck-
ney. vice president of the local branch
The organization meeting took place
Monday night, when Michael Oensteel
was elected president. The Washing
ton organization will form a branch
OF national society, with $4,000
grocer-members. Mr.. Pinckney said.
The national society has been organ
lied some time. but until the present
it has held more of an advisory ca
pacfty than an executive one. A dis
tinctive sign will be displayed to
show consumers the American groc-
cry store.
A general meeting in the near flu
ture will be held for the perfection
of organization and to provide means
for local distribution of products
brought here from the scene of pro-
duction.
Method to BE Employed.
According to Mr.. Pickney the propo-
sition will work out as follows:
The individual small grocer instead
OF buying at his home market at a price
dictated by the jobber. will be en-
abled through branches of the organ
ization at the producing market to
purchase direct the products wished.
All that remains is freight charges to
Washington and distribution
In meats and provisions the situa-
ton will be handled in similar man
1er.
I'VE expect our members to under
sell any stores in the city" Mr. Pinck-
ney said. individual overhead will
be reduced through collective buying.
Even though the buying is collective
the selling will remain on a competi-
tive basis.
And instead of one individual small
grocer asking that the selling price
from the jobber or the packer be re-
duced, through the organization of
$4,000 grocers throughout the country
one single representative will make
the request for the entire organiza-
ton.
For instance, instead of buying
grapefruit in the District after it has
been shipped here. we could buy il
in Florida and ship it here ourselves.
Thereby the expense of handling a
carload of grapefruit will be borne
by US alone and the brokerage charge
will virtually drop by the wayside."
