BUSINESS HOUSE IN ORDER.

Progress in the establishment of better
business standards is reflected in the
gathering momentum of the trade prac-
tice conference movement which, ac-
cording to the trade relations committee
of the Chamber of Commerce Of the
United States, is now in full Roadway.
During the past year so such confer
ences were held and rules were adopted
by a wide range of industries looking
to the abandonment of business prac-
tees which were relic OF the old days
when ANYTHING was fair from a COM
petitive viewpoint.
The indications are that during the
current year the number of trade prac-
tice conferences will be larger than the
preceding year. Organized business Is
now directing its attention to metnods
of enforcing the rules agreed upon
and giving full force to this new law
merchant which is gradually being for
nulated.
