Las Vegas daily optic. [volume] (Las Vegas, N.M.) 1880-1908, 1903-11-19

met with considerably difiiculty. A
number Of questions arose which re
quired our careful consideration and
decision. We decided as a committee
to ask the executive committees oi
the three organizations in the city tc
meet--the Montezuma club, the board
of trade and the Citizens association
of the town Of Las Vegas. We held
that meeting and there was fun dis
icussion Of the various phases OF the
situation. Various views were pre-
scented and finally it was resolved un
animously that Commercial club be
organized for the benefit Of the en-.
tire community.
It was thought possibly ii would be
best for the Commercial club not to
have anything to do with the ques
tions coming up between the two
sides. But the committee, after con,
siiering the matter, has devised a
plan which 1t thinks will meet the
situation. We believe we are prepared
70 offer q solution for all the difficul.
ties presented, and the solution which
we offer is one Of arbitration. We
felt that no fair minded people of any
section Of our community, when any
question Of difference arise, would OBJ.
ject to submitting to arbitration, SO
for the purpose Of getting the plan
before the committee here tonight
we drafted this preamble which we
desire to have subscribed by all pres,
ent. 1t is as follows:
The Preamble.
