s 300 SHRINE WEEK WORK BY POLICE PRAISED Commissioner Oyster Sends Letter to Maj. Sullivan, Commending Force. A lotter of commendation for the successful manner in which his men policed the city during the Shrine convention was transmitted to Maj. Sullivan yesterday by Commissioner Oyster. Spesking for the other Commis- sioners as well as himself, Capt. Oys- ter wrote: “As the Commissioner in charge of police and as chairman of the pub- lic order committee I want to express o you, on behalf of the Commission- ers and for myself personally, our commendation for the most excellent work that you and your staff, as well as the members of your command and others, performed; and I wish you would transmit this commendation to the members of your force and to vour other able asistants in the work of the Shrine convention. Unprecedented Strain. “During the public displays attend- ing the recent convention _of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine in this city a strain was put upon the de- partments of this municipality con- cerned with the maintenance of pub- lic order and the protection of life and property, far beyond that to which they had been submitted here- ‘ofore. The vast influx of participants and visiting spectators numbering many thousands required their ut- most exertion and seif-control. “That the emergency so presented was adequately met is the unvarying testimony that has reached my notice, and is in accord with my owni ob- Servation. It gives me pleasure to to all concerned my grateful | ation, both personally and offi- of the services so rendered. 0 the superintendent of the met- ropolitan police and to the force un- der his command we tendef our com- mendation for their arrangements for the preservation of order and the | afficient and tactful manner in which those arrangements were carried into effect “The spirit of kindly helpfulness vas conspicuously displayed by them all and made a most agreeable im- pression upon visitors and our citi- zens alike, whether'they were the re- cipients of the policeman’s aid or were the subjects of his needful re- strain in furtherance of the individual or general conveenience and safety. The air of good nature and peaceful- ness which universally prevailed was convincing evidence of the appropri- ateness of their policies and per- formance. Sustained Reputation. “In every respect they sustained the enviable repute of the force, and that, 100, under circumstances especially exacting upon its courtesy, discipline ! and judgment. ““The chief of the fife department and his subordinates of every degree were likewise attentive and capable, v their intelligent zeal in re- sponding to calls upon their services, materially conduced to the feeling of dependence upon the adequacy of the municipal oversight of the oc- casion, and rendered most beneficent service to all concerned, which we cordially and thankfully acknowl- edge. “To the civic organizations of the District and our people generally we wish to express our grateful and admiring appreciation of the mag- nificent moral and material support which they contributed in every p ticable way to the harmony and com- fort which prevailed throughout the demonstration. Their generous sac- rifice of their time znd rest and means, and their cordiality, advice and liberal suppd® in every needful Wway, nobly sustained the reputation of the people of the nation’s capital for public spirit which so commend- ably distinguishes it in that respect.” SAUNDERS CASE SETTLED.

SEEK T0 ABOLISH CLASS DISCOUNTS Trade Body Heads Believe| System Works Hardships on the Public. Plans for abolishing class discounts or special buying privileges will be considered at a meeting of the board of governors of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Assoclation Tuesday morning, according to Charles J. Columbus, secretary of the organiza- tion. “Fair dealing to all customers is a fundamental principle of the Mer- chants and Manufacturers’ Associa- tion and its membership. Years ago the. assoclation went on record as unlterably opposed to all special buy- ing privileges, no matter in what guise they might appear, { “It is the conviction of the associ- ation that to give a discount to any class of customers is to create an un- privileged trade clientele, which con- stitutes a manifestly unfair trade practice on the part of the business firm that gives such & gratuity, “Nor_can it be fairly said that a class discount is a gratuity on the part of the business firm. The class discount must be paid for somewhere, somehow. And the only way possible is to distribute tho cost of the dis- count among the less favored cus-| tomers of the firm that would make such an_allowance. “The Merchants and Manufacturers’ Associaiion will. therefore, institute a campaign against class discounts.” The meeting of the board of gov- ernors will #iso be marked by re- ports of committees bearing on other trade_problems.
