MORGAN WANTS To
UNITE ORGANIZATIONS


idea of combining the chamber of com
merce, the commercial club, the mer-
chants association and the promotion
committee into one organization. This
plan, in the absence of Mr.. Morgan,
was presented by Fred Macfarlane to
the board of governors of the CONNER
cial club at a meeting held yesterday,
but received no ardent support.
The suggestion was also made tenta-
lively at the meeting of the mer-
chants association yesterday after
noon, but provoked cnly smile.
Though there is possibility that the
plan will be seriously considered by
the various commercial organizations
concerned, it is fairly certain that it
will meet with strong opposition.

under the charge of Major Hart, /
will make the statement, also, that dur
ing the past eight months the sum of
100000 was paid out to the enlisted
men on this Island.'
Plan Discussed.
Secretary Emil Berndt seconded the
motion to adopt the resolution, stating
that the holidays are coming and his
firm would keep open evenings any
wav so that would be a good chance
to fest the later closing plan.
NJ. Brasch, manager of Whitney &
Marsh, was opposed to keeping open at
night, on purely selfish grounds, as he
explained, saying that his firm would
not make anything out of it.
r. r. Reidford was of the opinion
that the question resolved itself into
matter of each merchant acting in
dependently, as the association could
force no member to do anything.
G. w. Smith spoke again. He said
that two years ago Hotel street was
as quiet as any in town at night. Now
it is crowded, especially on Saturday
nights. He thought that if the stores
on Fort street would keep open at
night, that street would be equally
brilliantly lighted and the crowds would
be as big as on Hotel street.
"We are shortly to have a big naval
station at Pearl Harbor," he said.
""The men from that station will not
be able to come to town before five
clock in the afternoon. If the Amer
lean stores are not open, the men will
have to 90 to oriental stores to pur-
chase what they want. -
Orientals Awake.
Secretary Berndt made the state.
ment that an army officer had told him
that the japanese stores are flocking
out to get the business. One Japanese
firm wanted permission to put up a
store at Pearl Harbor. ga year ago."
he said, "we fought to prevent Uncle
Sam from building a city at Pearl Har'
Dor. Now we are doing just the op'
posite.
Ed Towse said that on Saturday af'
ternoons the wives of men employed
downtown flock around the places where
their husbands work to get them to g
out shopping. If the stores kept oper
at night, he thought there would b'
less of this necessary annoyance, a
much of the shopping would be dom
during the week.
Charles S. Crane made the statemen
that the business the Gazette compan.
!, does with Leilehua is all transacted al
ter six o'clock.
Norwan Watkins called attention {
the fact that the resolution was intro
duced only as an experimental measure
And anyway, the resolution would bin
no one.
President Waldron placed the resolr
tion before the meeting and il wa
adopted by unanimous vote.
