 January 25 Next, Which May Be
 Largely Attended

January 25 The invitation will go out, as before. to all boards of trade commercial clubs and similar organizations in all cities of the United States having population of 5000 or more. The execu- tive committee determined upon this course with a view of crystai.zing pubic opinion in support of the monetary commissioniih case the plan presented. by the commisr sion shall commend itself to the business community. ,a
 The committee was in session today at the Arlington hotel, and it is expected its report will be submitted to the executive committee within a short time The action of the banking committee today In decid- ing to postpone the consideration of finan- cial reform until the report of the monetary commission is received is taken by the members of the committee as indicating desire to hear the opinions of the business men in congress and a growing interest in the report of the commission
 The convention called for Jan 25 Is ex- pected to be even more largely attended than the convention of year ago, when $50 delegates responded to the invitation of the boards of trade of the central west. The representation at the next convention will not be restricted only to those who attended the convention a year ago, but will include all the cities that were then invited to send delegates.

The executive com mittee have since received assurances of support from commercial bodies and or- ganizations which were not represented n the original convention. and it is expected they will send delegates. tA
