LAW IS EXPLAINED
Present D. C. Regulation Said
to Be Similar to U. S.
Provisions.

Local dealers in fruits and vegetables
are displaying an interest in the pro-
visions of the Federal law fixing STAN
cardS for containers, which becomes
effective November i. It had been be-
lieved by some dealers that enforcement
of provisions of the new law would mean
much trouble and inconvenience to
them, but George NJ. Roberts, super
intendent of weights, measures and
markets, says there is no reason for
such anxiety.
"As / understand it." said the super
tntendent, 1.-The Federal law contains
practically the provisions contained In
the District law. which was enacted by
Congress, and local dealers have been
living up to them"
The local law became effective in 1921
and is said to cover everything possible
in connection with the weighing and
measuring of commodities, including the
fixing of sizes of containers and meas
ures dealers may use.
Containers Defined.
It defines the several containers now
in use In connection with business.
Tons, barrels, bushels and multiples of
them, boxes, crates, baskets and Tugs are
among the containers described.
Under the provisions of the Federal
law, II is stated, shippers VI COLAluIO0Ae1cS
from other sections will have to be
careful to do their shipping only in
containers defined by the provisions of
the act. It is said the Federal law adds
sizes of containers to those mentioned
in the District law.
Manufacturers of containers of all
kinds have information as to what will
be required of them under the pro-
visions of the act soon to become effec-
tive, It is stated, so that practically no
trouble is in store for local dealers.
Wholesalers are more deeply inter-
ested in the matter of the volume of
business than in the question of con-
tainerS, and buyers were out in in
creased numbers early this morning,
business having been quiet the past few
days. There was no question OF the
ability of wholesalers to meet demands
of retailers. according to reports, and
have something to spare.
Commission merchants had their
