In   opening  bis  address   Mr.   AVhIt-I Is leading thc way back  to  con.ser.-a- w.ell     said   the  entire  future   of     the . tive sanity in Government. gas   and   electric   industries   in  Ponn- j - ^
sylv.ania   is   in  danger.   Tlie   proposed i bill,     he   said.     Is   not  in   the    public ; interest  but  wan,  rather,   .a b.'ickward \ step;   it is of no  beneflt  to  the  de;il- ors  and  not  in  the  best  Interest    of bii«ln,eas  cenerally.
The prohibiting of tho sale of mer¬ chandise by the utility companie.s affects 1,524 mon and women engaged in the retail sales departments. Their annual wagogs total $2,400,000. In addition to thoso there are 1,000 em¬ ployees in the eei-vlcin,g clcpartmonts earning $1,400,000 annually who would   lose   their jobs.
These 2,GOO employees c.innot ho absorbed by the compani's in other positions and experience In othor states has shown th.at in, the present stato of Unemrioyment, it will not be jiossible to absorb them In i llier in¬ dustries.
Among features of the bill whieh would result detrimcntallyi to the public, Mr. Whltwell cited the fact .that It would seriou.sly retard the program ot rate reductions; It would also cut oft residents in rural sec¬ tions from the .advantage of purclias- Ing from well-stocked utility com¬ pany supV'lies because small dealers In their communities would not be able  to icarry  the   stocl:.
Customers, also, would not be .able to get the most out of their appli¬ ances because there would be no sup'^rvisio.i   as   at   present.
The people of the state he said would suffer as did the people in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, while merchandising   was    prohibited    there.
The loss of prompt servlcln.g of appliances would be so keenly felt and the buying publlo would be made the victims of selling rackets ot   sub-standard  appliances.
Under present conditions Mr. Whltwell pointed out the utility companies aro selling high quality merchandise and maintain a fair re¬ tail selling price. Nor do they accept the exclusive sale of any ai pliances, nor offer premiums unless all dealei's are given the same opportunU>T.
Independent dealers also beneiit through co-operating advertising and )>romotion plans of the utility eoni- panics.     In,   tho   dealer     co-operating
