BOARDS OF TRADE
CEASE TO EXIST
RIVAL ORGANIZATIONS MERGE
INTERESTS
Mercantile Firms Abandon Separate
Associations and Establish
Adjustment and Report
Ing Bureau Instead

BY the unanimous vote of represen-
tatives Of nearly every large mercan-
tile firm in Los Angeles the whole
salers' board of trade and the Los An
geles board of trade ceased separate
existences at a meeting of the Credit
Mems association last night.
Instead of these separate boards Of
trade an adjustment and trade report
ing bureau was established, which will
in future have charge of all local
bankruptcy cases.
The plans as consummated last night
had been under consideration for
many weeks.
Rivalry and friction between the two
boards often caused confusion and
worked to the detriment Of the whole
saler and retailer at times.
When the report was made last
night, accompanied by resolution to
declare the two boards out Of exist
ence and establish one bureau to act
for all the interests affected and to be
under direction of the Credit Mems
association, every representative pres
ent supported it.
Committees of three members from
each of the organizations were ap-
pointed and this committee will meet
this morning to establish the new
bureau.
w. C. Mushet, secretary of the
wholesalers board of trade, was
chosen as secretary of the new bureau.

sented at the meeting last night:
