from voting upon 1t at all. He did not
think the name of the Board Of Trade Is a
misnomer. He thought, in the development
of Greater Washington, the three local
associations should join hands. The board
should consider having united action by the
three associations.
Favors Industrial Development.
Mr.. John H. Magruder spoke in favor Of
industrial development and Mr.. VIM. B.
King moved to refer the report back to the
committee on commerce and manufactures,
with instructions to that committee to
bring In another report at the next meet
ing Of the board which President Wilson
announced would be held the 2Sth instant.
Mr.. John Weaver did not want the board
to be placed before the boards of trade of
the country as unwilling to put up $1,000
for commercial development.
Mr.. Norman Gait declared that he be-
lieved every one would be willing to help
in the work of industrial expansion.
Mr.. Siddons said he believed the board
had not understood the report. and for that
reason had declined to approve IT.
Mr.. Warner complimented Secretary Har-
ries and Assistant Secretary Shuster for
their efficiency and hard work. and said
the proposition to employ another secretary
did not in the least manner reflect upon the
the work of those officers Of the board.
1t was simply in order to take up another
branch Of the work.
Work Organization Has Done.
Mr. John Joy Edison spoke In regard
to the work the board had done. He said
he knew the older members understood
what the activity of the board had been,
but he did not want the younger men to
be mislead by what had been said by some
of the members as to the Inactivity of
of the board. He explained the peculiar
character Of the board. and said there
was no other city in the world situated
exactly as Is this city there Is probably
no other organization just like the WASH
ington Board of Trade The board is to rep
resent people who have representation In
no other way. The people here cannot
vote and have no form of government, and
the board undertakes to fill their need Of
an active organization to look after all
manner of local interests. Much of the
best work of the board. he said, Is never
published. but it is always on the lookout
for opportunities to advance local inter-
ests
The report was then referred back to
the committee for another report.
DR.. Hickling again called up the bill for
the regulation of the sale of milk in the
District He showed by results Of analysis
by the Department of Agriculture that
the milk being delivered in the District
Is not up to the proper standard.
Judge Kimball said he hoped to see the
bill passed by Congress. and favored its
adoption by the board.
Mr.. Thomas w. Smith wanted more
milk inspectors.

Fox Hunt and Paper Chase.

Mr. Frederick L. Siddons asserted that 1t
appeared that the board of trade had start
ed out on fox hunt and had wound up IN
a paper chase The proud boast of the
board has been that 1t had many interests
to build up and one Of the instrumentalities
for so doing was its committee on COM
merce and manufactures. Now that COM
mittee had its work taken away from 1t:
Mr.. Ernest Wilkinsone said 1t would be
humiliatng to the board to permit Its COM
mittee on commerce and manufactures to
take the matter of publication of the Pc
riodical in charge in the manner suggested
Mr.. c. C. Lancaster entered protest
against the action of the board in turning
down the report of the committee on COM
merce and manufactures.
1.-The Business Mems Association and the
Jobbers and Shippers Association were
failed to do it's duty. because the board has
! been dead for twenty years.
Can you put your finger upon anything
that the board has ever done?" Mr.. Lam
caster asked turning to the body Of the
members This association has never
done anything that would employ 100 men,
1t should not be said that We are mis-
nOmer.''
Mr. Lancaster. turning to the presiding
officer, asked If the latter felt pride in be-
ing president Of the Board of Trade.
Consider Presidency Great Honor.
IT feel that to be president of this Board
Of Trade" Gen. Wilson said. is the great
est honor that has ever been conferred
upon me-
The banquet hall rang with applause
Mr.. Lancaster continued to protest against
the action of the board
Mr.. James F.. Shea said he was not OPP
posed to what was proposed by the COM
mittee on commerce and manufactures. but
merely-w against the method that had
been proposed to accomplish the desired
result That, he believed, was the feeling
Of the board generally. He thought 1t
might be we'll to have a secretary of the
board whose special duty might be to look
after the interests Of the commercial ad-
vancement of the District.
Mr. A. 3. Browne suggested that it would

it's back upon that work. The board. he
said practically declared that the commit
tee on commerce and manufactures has no
business in the board Of trade. The COM
mittee he declared. had done it's duty. But
now 1t could make no more reports this
year. It's work was cast aside.
Mr. Perry had amended the resolution Of
Mr.. Harper. providing that the proposed
publication should be edited by the board
of directors and not by the committee on
commerce and manufacturers. The amend
ment was acceptable to Mr.. Harper. who
concluded by saying the board should feel
ashamed of itself for the treatment accord
ed it's committee on commerce.
