The league proposes to rectify
this by compelling dealers to con-
form with the new Federal con-
tainer law, which provides that
all package goods must state the
net weight, measure or numerical
count of the contents of said
package. It would be just as rea-
sonable for the merchant to
charge a customer extra for the
paper wrapped about a purchase,
or the box in which a suit was de-
livered, as for the grocer to ex-
act butter prices for a cheap bit
of wood. The cost of the paper
and the box, the wooden tray and
the pasteboard consumer, must
naturall figure in the margin set
aside for operating exyienses.
