The Wlnffald TMAtl Merchant'
association and the AbUeno Buslnes

imllar nurnoae. Both are intended
to get at the Information n,'esaary
for HtiiblishinK a "creait rauug
rnnnr tho natrons of retail stores.
and to protect the merchants against
'dead beats." . The member oi im
ihilans association, however, deny
th.i thev nratilce anything like
hlnrklliallna."
. Pniinwinir ia the dispatch referred
to: ; Tho Retail Dealer' association
recently organized here, I becoming
v,. nMart of considerable adverse
:rlticsm. It I understood that thi
oraanlzatlon. of which tho Wlnfleld
.r.iuHnii la but a part, cover
the moat of Southern Kansas and
Northern Oklahoma. The object of
h nrtanlzatlon primarily la to pro
tect the retail merchant la hi. busi
ness, and to promote hi "business
IntAfoata- In order to do thle- effeo-
tnailv. it keep a card Index list
of all the customer of tho member
nf tha annotation, together witn
their rating a to tneir ability, dis
position and promptness to pay their
debt. - .-': -'.:'!'.V;.
Thaaa card Index list, are Kept oy
each local asaoclatlon,' and, on re-
nat. anch Information as I. re
quired regarding tho credit rating
of any Individual customer iur
ni.had other associations. " Thus a
m.n'. naraonal credit rating is not
only practically public property iu
his own community put wnerever mo
etall Merchant' association has an
....r,. nidation, the feature of the
organization that I. .ubject to the
principal criticism t the fact that
It keep a "black list." If a cus
tomer become (delinquent to tne
merchant with wnom he does busi
es, or for any reason fall or re
fuses to pay hi bllla. his name 1
ni, n on the "black list," and pass
ed on to the other members of the
association. Thus he becomes
'black liBteo ' not only in bla own
community, but practically all over
Southern Kansas and Northern Ok
lahoma. !- ' '"-,-' .?'.'....''-'' -;
Thoa who are criticising the as
sociation claim that thl. "black list
in . ia m violation of the federal
statutes, , and that ooner or later
tha officer of the association will
get up against the United State di
trlct court. The officer of the Wln
nld asaoclatlon are prominent mer
chant, of considerable mean, against
whom a case for damage, in tne
United State, court for black listing
would be worth white. t

Secretary Tappan View.,
Secretary D. W. Tappen of the
Abilone Business Men' Assoclaliflii, '
when shown the dlepatch today, atiid:
"The two organization ere Biros r,
k,,t aia have no 'black 1 list.' Mar-
k.t-o m ha nrotectd against
dead (beats' and It h (abaoluteiy i
necessary for them to know aorne-
thlng about their customer, meth
ods of meeting their bills. When
a newcomer moves into Abilene, we
find out what hi. credit standing
ha been, and furnish his rating to
the merchant. So when merchants
in other towns ask us for the rating
of parties who have lived ia Abilene,
we supply It. Aside from that the
Information we gat Is confidential.
Our books are not open to public
Inspection." .
