WASHINGTON NOTES. 



Postponement of the blanket order 

 making sweeping express rate reduc- 

 tions has been announced by the In- 

 terstate Commerce Commission. The 

 order was to have become effective 

 December 1, but has been postponed 

 until February 1, 1914, it is understood 

 for the reason that the express com- 

 panies showed they did not have suffi- 

 cient time in which to get ready for 

 the new schedules of rates. 



The storekeepers are continuing 

 their investigations regarding the 

 competition put up by the street ven- 

 dors and Messrs. Loose and Oehmler 

 have been designated to look up the 

 laws relating to street sales and to 

 consult counsel in the matter. Their 

 conclusions are to be submitted at an- 

 other meeting. This sort of competi- 

 tion has long been a cause for com- 

 plaint, but concerted action has not 

 heretofore been had. Now that the 

 dealers are in accord and have gotten 

 together the District Commissioners 

 are to be appealed to with a view to 

 the enactment of suitable laws or reg- 

 ulations applying to street sales. 

 Store men are subject to a license tax 

 of $15 per annum and a personal tax 

 on their stores, fixtures, merchandise, 

 etc.; they have rent, light, clerk hire 

 and other expenses, while the street 

 men merely pay a very nominal license 

 fee. 



Visitors: George C. Watson, of 

 Philadelphia. Pa.: C. B. Knickman, of 

 McHutchison & Co., New York, and 

 .Joseph Goudy, representing H. A. 

 Dreer, Philadelphia. Pa.
