Excerpt from book: MISCELLANEOUS NEWSPAPER ARTICLES, RESOLUTIONS, OPEN LETTERS TO THE TRUST, ETC. of tie Kaunas City Retail Gmerx' Association (150 -Members), February 12, 1901. RESOLUTIONS. The Retail Grocers' Association of Kansas City, at their regular meeting, Tuesday, Feb. 12, unanimously passed the following resolutions: Whereas, There is now before our state legislature a bill to repeal a law prohibiting the sale of any baking powder containing alum; be it Resolved, by the Kansas City Retail Grocers' Association, in regular session, That we deprecate the present law, as unwise and unjust.

We believe the present law should be repealed in the interest of justice and right, and we urge the members of the legislature to so work and vote.?The Oiwerx' ./on rim I of Commerce.
