Several new motions were
passed, to-wit:
1. It was agreed that the presi-
dent and secretary be paid a weekly
sala ry as compensation for the work
they are doing.
2. Each member has to make out
an affidavit stating how many ma-
chines he operates. This was done
so that the assessments, which are
based on the number of machines
operated, could be justly billed. This
applies only up to a thousand ma-
chines.
Any operator, operating
over that number, is to be assessed
only for a thousand.
3. A motion was passed that all
complaints submitted to the investi-
gation committee shall be in writing.
4. A motion was passed that after
investigation of any complaint, the
guilty ope r ator shall be assessed $1
for the investigation and be given
three days to rectify the wrong. If,
at the end of three days, he does not
comply with the ruling of the inves-
tigation committee, a fine of $25
shall be a ssessed against him.
5. A motion was passed that if the
investigation committeer, after in-
vestigating a complain, finds that a
non-member has run one of our mem-
bers out of a location, the committee
will have the power to authorize our
member to offer up to 100 per cent
to retain that particular location.
This ruling was passed to protect the
members against non-members offer-
ing a higher percentage, thereby get-
ting some of our locations.
The association is getting many
new members and now represents a
total of 30 operators, controlling over
5,000 machines.
The .. arbitration committee, com-
posed of five members, settled twen-
ty-six complaints since the last meet-
ing.
One of our operators, the Pioneer
Novelty Company, who is also in the
jobbing business, submitted the fol-
lowing plan to the members:
1. Members of the association will
be privileged to purchase new ma-
chines of any tYpe handled by this
company at list prices, and they will
be allowed to return any of the equip-
ment purchased at such prices with-
in a period of six we·e ks from date
of purchase and will be allowed fif-
ty per cent of the original purchase
pric.e on an equal number of new
machines handled by this company.
2. Members of this association
who desire to purchase new machines
without intention of returnipg same
under plan number 1, will be allowed
a special discount of fifteen per cent
