tanning suggestions for the next meeting at
IL A. NJ. Tuesday. Then a report will be
formulated and put into shape for presen-
tation to the Manufacturers Convention.
From the sentiments expressed at the
informal session yesterday it is understood
that some means of continuing the agita-
ton will be advised.
my idea, said Filcher, sis that all our
committee can do is to recommend the
appointment by the convention of com
mlttee with authority to issue circulars
and ask the press and the people to CO.
operate.
"We will have to awaken the public to
sense OF the Importance of cooperation
that some good may be accomplished, )"
Henry h. Davis added.
Louis Saroni said his opinion was that
paper prepared by the committee should
be read at the convention showing the
necessity and ACCESSIBILITY of having per-
manent organization of manufacturers and
producers. 1.-The public's sympathies
should be with the producers, said he
1--WE ought to appeal to the Legislature to
remove restrictions wherever they exist on
manufacturers. Certain Eastern States
give bounties and assistance to new enter
prises, and California might follow their
good example"
AS chairman of the finance committee
he sent out circulars at midnight Friday,
and yesterday mornings mail brought
replies In the form of encouraging letters
and So checks. This circular letter, which
has an important bearing on the welfare
of the movement, is as follows:
At a meeting of the advisory committee of
the Manufacturers Convention, held at the
rooms OF the Chamber of Commerce on Friday,
March 8, the undersigned were elected COM
m1ttee on finance. AT a second meeting, held
on Wednesday, March Is, it was resolved that
for the purposes of the convention to be held
in this city on March 10, and of later perma-
nent organization of the manufacturers in the
State OF California, an assessment of S. be
levied upon all firms corporations interested.
The finance committee have decided that a
communication addressed to the various
manufacturers requesting their cooperation,
and respectfully soliciting remittance to the
chairman of the committee of the sum of $5,
as per the above resolution, would be the
simplest and most inexpensive manner of
gathering the necessary funds for the purposes
of the convention and later proceedings
In accordance Herewith the committee re-
| spectfully ask your kind cooperation and So
licit your check for the sum of SIS, made pay
able to John f. Merrill, treasurer, for which
amount the finance committee will return
