BUSINESS MOVING
[Coutinued from 1st psgeI

| moved that the board purchase II!
copies Of each paper. Mr.. Eme rsor
moved to amend by making the nun
Der 100 copies esch. Mr.. Martinez of
fered another amendment to make the
nun Der 250 copies of each. Mr.. Stew
ems offered a substitute calling for the
purchase of 500 Heraids and 100 Indus
| trial Records. Mr.. Browne accepted
| Mr.. EmersOn's amendment. Mr.. Mar
| tineZ called for the ayes and noes.
Then ensued a spirited discussion be.
| fore the vote WAS taken. Mr.. Emerson
explained that he favored taking a
small number because it was desirable
to examine the papers more closely be-
fore buying too many of them. If
more were needed they could be pur-
chased later.
Mr.. Martinez declared that # he
we're the proprietor of either paper he
would not accept an offer for 100 copi es.
He would merely thsnk the cham her
and present it with 100 copies. He said
the ne wspapers had fostered the move
ment to organize a chamber OF COM
MERGE and should receive help and en-
coursgemeDt.
NJ. Stevens agreed with Mr.. Mar.i-
nez. He thought the chamber could
not spend its money better than in ad-
vertising Ell PasO, and that the HER
AIDS special edition was a desirable
medium.
President Prudential said the &C.
casion invited the adoption of some de-
finite policy for dealing with the spe-
cial edition question. He favored treat
ing all the papers alike.
Mr.. Emerson thou ght it was simply
question what the chamber needed.
The board of directors was a trustee
for the people, and should not spend
the peoples money for what the cham
Der did not need. The special editions
bad been planned before the organiza-
ton of the chamber, and with the ex-
pectation of profits without reference
to any purchase by the chamber.
Mr.. Martinez replied that the board
should use these trust funds to secure
justice and the rights of all. The
cham Der exists to promote the inter
es.s of the entire city. The newspa-
pers have spent money to foster and
advance the interests of the city, and
without asking pay. To purchase 500
he merely a mark of gratitude for
what they have done.
The roll was then called on thu mo-
ton, with the following result:
Aye - Freudenthal Emerson and
Brownies.
Nays-Trscy, Stevens, Msrtinez.-3.
So the motion was lost.
MT. N1SFLlDSZ Un6n moved CnGG UuS
cham her buy $50 copies of the Indus
trial Record at s25. and $50 copies OF
The HERALD at $50, the regular prices
to dealers. Carried unanimously.

TACT thst the nationsl board Of trade. |
The Philadelphia Trades league and |
other commercial organizations had |

offered the following proportion:
Whereas, the United States govern |

+ commerce urges such legislation BY (
