396         New  Jersey  Pharmaceutical  Association.  {AnAugust,^mm' 
hauer,  of  Newark.  By  a  vote  of  22  to  14,  the  report  was  laid  on 
the  table,  and  another  motion  was  passed  making  the  question  of 
remaining  in  the  N.A.R.D.  the  first  order  of  business  for  the  follow- 
ing day. 
Mr.  H^lzhauer  read  the  committee's  report  on  the  President's 
address,  and  then  the  ball  was  started  rolling  by  J.  C.  Gallagher, 
who  moved  "  that  the  dues  of  this  Association  to  the  N.A.R.D.  be 
paid."  The  resolution  was  violently  opposed  by  Messrs.  Holzhauer, 
White,  Ryerson  and  the  retiring  President,  W.  C.  Alpers,  and  most 
eloquently  defended  by  Messrs.  J.  C.  Gallagher  and  Frank  O.  Cole. 
The  resolution  was  lost,  and  by  a  vote  of  14  to  29  the  Association 
decided  to  withdraw  from  the  National  Association  of  Retail  Drug- 
gists. It,  however,  passed  another  resolution  favoring  the  plan  of 
the  National  Association  of  Retail  Druggists,  and  authorized  the 
incoming  President  to  appoint  a  committee  of  three  members  for 
each  county  to  form  local  associations  to  co-operate  with  the 
national  organization.  The  Secretary  was  authorized  to  ascertain 
the  present  indebtedness  of  the  New  Jersey  Pharmaceutical  Associ- 
ation to  the  N.A.R.D.,  and,  if  any  such  there  be,  the  Association 
shall  pay  the  amount. 
The  Committee  on  Membership  reported  the  names  of  twenty-five 
new  members.  Reports  from  delegates  to  the  American  Pharma- 
ceutical Association,  the  National  Wholesale  Druggists'  Association, 
Pure  Food  and  Drug  Congress,  U.  S.  Pharmacopceial  Convention, 
and  other  associations  were  read  and  referred  to  the  Publication 
Committee.  A  resolution,  growing  out  of  the  discussion  over  the 
action  of  the  New  Jersey  Board  of  Pharmacy  in  attempting  to  secure 
legislation  last  wi/iter  without  "  consulting  the  Association,"  was 
passed  "  that  the  Association  considers  it  inadvisable  for  any  of  its 
members  to  attempt  to  introduce  any  legislation  affecting  pharmacy 
without  the  sanction  of  the  Association." 
The  officers  elected  were :  Stephen  D.  Woolley,  Ocean  Grove,
