commercial shipping and kindred
questions.
Philip S. Teller of San Francisco

Board commissioners, are conducting
the hearings.
The commissioners notified their au-
ditors that the hearings would be COM
pleted October 27, and it was then up
to the shipping, agricultural and all
other interested agencies to advise
Congress what should be done. Com
missioner Teller indicated that in the
event of the failure of the present
plans to have the Government relin-

Sible.

BOOK DECISION PRAISED.
Merchants Glad Commissioners
Banned Annual Volume.

The action of the District Com.
missioners in denying the City EN-.
ployes' Association the privilege Of
publishing it's anual book was COM
mended yesterday by Edward D.
Shaw, secretary of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, in a letter
to Daniel E. Garges, secretary to the
Board Of Commissioners.
This annual book Is typical of many
that are gotten out in Washington,
in that a very small amount of the
funds collected for advertising are re-
ceived by the organization which is
supposed to benefit thereby" said Mr..
Shaw. Such advertising is a burden
upon the merchants which they
should not be, called upon to bear. I
know that they will heartily approve
your action"
