ing were accepted by the Chamber O.

time there were taken steps toward in
creasing the membership of the cham
Der. now that it has at it's disposition
such commodious rooms, and at a cos
| which will hardly exceed the putting
in OF a telephone for the life of the
firm.
! There were present when the meet
ing was called to order by Chairman

the chamber. These We're:

The matter of approval of the action

the fight against anarchists, and ask
ing the cooperation of the various
similar bodies in the United States.
next was brought up, and the absence
of J. P. Cooke, who was to make the
report for the committee, was noted by
the secretary. Upon motion of F. A.
Schaefer seconded by J. p Anterior,
it was decided that the secretary
should forward a letter to the Pitts
burgh chamber of commerce, express
ing an endorsement of the sentiments
in the letter sent out by that body,
and assuring the chamber of the
hearty accord and cooperation of the
local institution.
Col. w. F. Allen reported for the
committee having in charge the matter
of new rooms for the body. The re-
port stated that the firm of Hackfeld
& Co had rendered to the chamber a
furnished room, the only absent de-
tails being the installation OF a tele-
phone, and some other minor matters
which could be settled only by the
chamber itself.
Mr.. Isenberg stated that the firm had
work of the chamber, and had set
apart this room, which was to be for
the use of the Chamber of Commerce,
if it was accepted, for all time, or SO
long as the building shall stand.
Colonel Allen had incorporated in his
report a resolution accepting the offer
of the firm. but upon the motion of
Cecil Brown this was expanded until
it provided for the acceptance of the
offer, and the instruction of the prop
or officials to send to Hackfeld & Co. |
L letter of thanks for their kindness.
The arrangement of the Chamber of |
Commerce for representation at Wash !
ngton. through William Haywood, was .
upon, and upon motion of +. !
A. Schaefer the same commission was
ordered renewed for the current year.
The question of larger compensation
or the attorney came up, and the
committee which has in charge that
question asked for more time to con-
ider the subject, which was granted.
dr. Schaefer said the planters had re-
Engaged Mr.. Haywood.
There was a discussion over the fact
hat there are many members of bust
less houses who should be members of
he chamber. during which the names
f several firms. members of the Mer-
hants' Association, were mentioned
or membership in the chamber. and
is expected that there will be a large
Tendance upon subsequent meetings
f the association. The meetings here
fter will be held in the new rooms.
