POLLING THE MEMBERS.
Testing Sentiment on Consolidation
of WASHINGTON Trade Bodies.

A poll of the members of the Board Of
Trade and the Chamber of Commerce on
the question of the proposed consolidation
of the two bodies is being made by a
committee consisting of James Sharp
Julius Garfinkle, Alexander I. Hensey
and John B. Sleman jr. This committee
which is made up of men who are men,
bers Of both organizations, is sending out
letters to all the members OF the two
organizations suggesting the advisability
of the consolidation and inclosing postal
cards for answers.
The letter reads IS follows: I'VE are
members of both The Board Of Trade
and the Chamber Of Commerce. We have
never held Office in either body and
cherish no aspirations in that direction.
We are, however. deeply interested In
these organizations and greatly concern
ed that they should render their highest
possible service to the District of Co.
lumbia.
I'VE are repeatedly made conscious of
the fact that in having two such Or
CARNATIONS there is constant duplication
of effort and conflict In action. Much en-
ergy which could be used to advantage Is
dissipated by reason of the maintenance
of two Offices two boards of officers and
directors, and two sets of committees
covering virtually the same field.
1.-The chief drawback, however, is that
the ideas of the citizenship generally can
not be effectively voiced to Congress, the
Commissioners or In any other direction
save by joint action of both bodles-a
tedious and wasteful process.
I'VE have therefore, been moved to ask
YOU to answer US informally the Ques-
ton propounded on the inclosed reply
