TAX FOR COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS
TO KEEP OUT INEFFICIENT A tax upon commercial travellers as a means of curbing the entry of inefficient and inexperienced persons to the profession was approved in principle of the National Union of Commercial Travellers at their Easter conference in London recently. “ Literally, commercial travellers are ten a penny, said Mr Harold R. Watson, of Liverpool, the president, in his address. The status, remuneration, and security of the commercial travellers’ position were lower than ever they were, and the time was ripe for remedial action. He favoured a £lO or £2O annual license being paid in respect of the ‘‘ man on the road.’’ Such a said the union secretary (Mr C. J. Kebbell) would bring in £2,000,000 annually to the Exchequer, as there were 100,000 commercials in the country. Buyers would welcome the system, as they were pestered to death by thousands of callers in whom they had not the slightest interest, said Mr H. Ward, Liverpool.
