DIR. TORBET RETURNS

Dr. Walter Torbet, Superinten- dent of the Alaska Missions of the Methodist Church revisited Doug las yesterday afternoon in the in- terests of the church organizat ton work which brought him north on the new Mission boat Nika Nah, ar irving in Juneau in the morning.
 With him was Miss Leah Tanning who will represent the Mission at Unga where they will proceed upon leaving the channel Sunday night for the Westward.
 To reorganiZe members of the for mer Congreg iona Community Church of Douglas, members of the Ladies League and other residents as members of the Juneau-Dougla las parish of the Methodist-Congrega- tional branch of the United Chris tian Church, was the purpose of Dr. Torbet's return here. Effort was made by him during his visit last winter to establish a branch of the Mission on the Island but with suf- ficient financial backing lacking, the present arrangement proposed is to combine local interest with that of Juneau in support of the church there.
 Suggestion was made by Dr. Tor bet that meeting be held in one of the homes where those interested could be present to discuss with him any arrangements that could be made for carrying out his plans.

UNFAIR METHODS

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Ma
tlonal Retail Furniture Association
announced today the organization of
Trade Relations Committee to con-
duct Nation wide effort to eliminate
unfair competition in the retail fur
niture trade.
Nathan S. Sachs, regional vice
president of the association and chair
man Of the committee, said its purpose
lis to curb unfair competition of
whatever nature, wherever found.
Foremost among the abuses from
which we are suffering are self-styled
wholesalers who sell home furnishings
at retail; retail stores disguised as
warehouses =; retailers claiming
to be manufacturers and manufac-
turers' outlets; fake auctions and false
retail liquidations; Illicit unclaimed
freight depots All of these practices
enrich themselves on consumer de-
ception, bringing incalculable loss to
both the buying public and the manu-
featuring. wholesaling and retail in
dustries dependent upon the consumer
trade"

By HAROLD b. ROGERS.

In line with general conditions
throughout the country, retail trade
took an upward trend In Washington
last week, according to the weekly re-
view of the Department of Commerce
All reporting retail stores registered
gains over the preceding five-day week
the report showed. Two stores report
ed gains of 66.4 per cent and 46.S7
per cent, respectively. while the aver
age gain of the remaining stores was
1881.
= All stores except one, which showed
q gain OF 81 per cent. registered de-
creases from the comparable period
last year, averaging 1913 per cent.

sharp decline for May as compared
with the same month last year.
Although activity in Baltimore S
wholesale dry goods and general mer-
chandise field showed small margin
of Improvement over the levels for the
past few weeks, the volume of business
continued below last years compare
tives. Backward spring weather and
unfavorable employment and pay roll
conditions have adversely affected re-
tail operations, which in turn has been
reflected in hand-to-mouth buying in
wholesale markets.
Recovery Signs Lacking.
Since the local wholesale volume
generally follows closely the retail
trend, no material expansion in whole
sale trade is expected until a pro-
nounced increase in consumer buying
is in evidehce
Statistical indicators for the week
ended June showed a decrease in
bank clearings of 10.6 per cent from
the corresponding week last year, and
bank debts declined by only 6.6 per
