MERCHANTS FORM CREDIT ASSOCIATION AT
 SUNDAY MEETING

A group of approximaely 20 Wrangel business men gathered at the Fire hall last Sunday after noon to form a credit association here.
 Roland Curtis, proprietor of the City Market, acted as chairman land Howard Baltzo, partner in the City Store, was secretary. Organiz- ation of a formal group waa de- ferred until more data could be acquired, but it was clearly evident at the meeting that opinion was al- most unanimously in favor of set ting up some sort of low-cost ere dit information service.
 The program took the form of a general discussion of various fea- lures which would be desirable to local merchants. Most felt that the cost to each member should be lim- tied to five dollars or less per month, as they placed a definite cash limit on the value of the ser vice.
 There as general agreement that some disinterested person should be paid a retainer fee to maintain a central, current file on al. the customers carried on the various members books. This informal on would be available to any member desiring it. All members would be obliged to furnish their credit standings to the association but would not be obligated in theif in- dividual use of this information Because the person maintaining the credit file would also collect delinquent accounts ton a commits sion over and above his fixed re- tainer feel, he should have legal training. The thought was express sed that, because this would Just be a part-time job, perhaps some lawyer could be interested in com ing to Wrangell with this assured income as a starter.
 It was decided to postpone fur ther action until further details on organization and utilization were obtained from the National Credit Association and until I complete list of prospective members could be obtained. The following Wran- gell merchants were represented at this meeting and pledged then support of local retail credit as sociation, with individual reserva- tions:
 The City Store, Grant Grocery Benjamin's, City Meat Market, Wheeler and Moore, Helens Placa, Wrangell Hotel, Den O'Sweets Bank of Wrangell, Fred Hanford, City Motor Service, The Mode, Bishop Rowe Hospital, Dr. c. E Easterly, Neyman and Early Wrangell Transfer.
 Any other firms interested in joining the above Association can do so by contacting c. Howard Baltzo, Secretary.

Unjust Freight Rates
During War Charged
Against 705 Railroads
BY the Associoted Press

The Justice Department yesterday
charged 705 railroads with making
unjust and unreasonable charges
on the Governments wartime ship
ments of aluminium alloy airplane
landing mats and asked for reim-
bursement.
The action was filed with the
Interstate Commerce Commission
1t followed by three weeks q preyi-
Gus complaint to the ICC by Attor-
ney General Clark that the Gov
ernment had been required to pay
more than private shippers for
storage of overseas military freight
at interior points during the war.
In the first action, the department
asked for refunds from 964 rail-
roads,. The oyercharges were esti-
mated to involve many millions" i.
The department made no estimate
Of the amount involved in yester-
days action, but said the alleged
unreasonable charges were made on
hundreds of carloads" Of the land
ing mats between January /, 1914,
and June 80, 1916.
The landing mats were developed
early in the war for construction OF
airfields in areas overseas where the
building of standard runways was
not practical. The mats were turned
out in 16-foot lengths, Is inches
wide. At the fields they were
fastened together by pin and collar
arrangement. Z
The mats first were made of steel
but when that material became
scarce, they were manufactured from
an aluminium alloy.
The Governments complaint al
leges the railroads handled the steel
mats at about Is per cent of the
fiISt-class freight rates, but charged
about SIS per cent of the first-class
rate for the aluminium alloy product.
This wide disparity in rates was
unjustified," the Justice Depart
ment said.

"I know you are able and willing
to accept the responsibilities Of the
future in the same spirit with which
you met the challenge of war;" he
said in his message.
From Japan came Gen. MacAr-
thurs statement that mo finer SOL
diers have ever served under my
command than the WACS." And
Gen. Lucius d. Clay, commander in
chief of the European command
commended their work with the oc-
cupation forces in Germany.
