Chamber of Commerce Fight
Promises to Be Strenuous.
RETAILERS WANT CHANGE

The fight of the members of the Retail
Merchants Association, auxiliary body OF
the Chamber of Commerce. to have the
constitution of the chamber changed SO
that members may be admitted TO the
Retail Merchants Association without
first becoming members of the chamber,
promises to be one of the most strenuous
which the chamber has faced since its
organization. The proposed amendment
was brought up for consideration at
meeting of the board of directors of the
chamber last night by President Joseph
Strasburger of the retail association. who
is also member of the board OF dlrec-
tors of the chamber.
The proposition found earnest support
ers. as well as strong opponents, among
the members of the directorate, ana
after discussing the amendment for
nearly an hour the board voted to au-
thorize the appointment of committee
Of FIVE to go carefully into the whole
matter and report back to the board at
its next meeting. d. j. Callahan, nrst
vice president of the chamber presided in
the absence of President Oyster, and APP
pointed the following committee to sift

Two Viewpoints.

The Misalliance' is the title of a good
story, by the versatile Paul West, in our
next Sunday Magazine. The Zieg.e
sisters. Flora and Dora. were the great
theatrical mystery of the hour, because
nobody could tel them apart-except one,
a somewhat gilded youth enamored of
Flora. The latter's mother protested Wig
orously against the projected match-be-
cause it would interrupt a forty-week en-
gagement at ''four-fifty per-" and so
she went to the mother of the youth to
try to fix ii up. But the latter was so
snobbsh that she turned Flora'S good in
tentions into heated opposition, and the
meeting broke up in real row. Just at
that instant-Mr. Vests story will be
enjoyed by every reader.

Daniel Urges Relief.

Ernest H. Daniel spoke in favor of
some measure which would give the
Retail Merchants Association the relief
Tor which it is seeking. He suggested as
4 compromise an associate membership,
paying $40 year dues, instead of so
now demanded of the members of the
chamber These associate members were
not to have any voting power in the
chamber. though they would have full
powers in the Retail Merchants Asso-
citation.
suggestion was made by P. I. Moran
that the retailers form a separate or
ganization entirely. He promised his sup
port in such an undertaking.
A. D. Prince, on the other hand said
that while he favored the proposed
amendment, he was opposed to the re-
tailers breaking away from the chamber
since it would tend to weaken the parent
organization

Leese Takes Issue.

NJ. A. Leese took issue with Mr.. Worth
ington's position. He said that the Re
tail Merchants Association was doing a
big work for the District, and that the
chamber should give it every encourage
ment. He pointed out that there were
many retailers here who felt they could
not afford to pay the dues both of the
chamber and of the association, as men,
bers of the association are now forced to
do
IF this proposed amendment is adopt
ed, we will find nothing but boulders
ahead" was the statement made by Will
liam F.. GUIDE, who added that from the
first he had been against the proposition
advanced by the retailers.
DIR. Arthur Ramsay said that it was
illogical to have members of the Retail
Merchants Association of the chamber
who were not members of the chamber.
He pointed out that no outsiders are APP
pointed to other standing committees of
the chamber. He predicted mat such
step wouIu mean the disintegration of the

Break May Result.

1t is possible that should the chamber
finally turn down the proposition of the
retail merchants the latter may break
away from the parent organization en-
trely. More than one suggestion to this
effect was made at the meeting last night
George Y. Worthington was the first
to oppose the proposed amendment after
Mr.. Stras burger had called it up. He
warned against such step, which. he
said, would disrupt the chamber. and said
that the Retail Merchants Association.

TURNING ITO UNDERWOOD

Mark Sullivan in Golfers
 An important trend in the democratic presidential situation, which has not yet become obvious, is suggested by this paragraph from the Wall Street Journal:
 "The leader of the majority in the House of Representatives at Washing ton, Mir Underwood, spent the first half of the present week in this city fNew York). Ostensibly he took this brief vacation so that he might con veniently accept invitations to make a public address. But he doubtless was as fully persuaded to spend few days in New York by an invitation sent to him last week to become the guest of honor at private, somewhat informal, dinner. Mir Underwood learn ed that at this dinner there would be some 30 of 40 representative citizens of New York. Some of them are of his own party, some of them prominent as republicans. All of them are men dis tinguished for professional, educa- tional or other achievements. This dinner was held on Monday evening of this week, and of it the public has had no knowledge. There were no formal speeches Instead, the informal ques- tioning, conversation, and exchange of views which are frequently of so much greater consequence than set addresses kept the host at the dinner table until a late hour. Il is sufficient, perhaps, to say that MT. Underwood charmed every one of the guests, not merely by the revelation of that unusual gift of personality which has served him so we'll as leader in the House, but also by the acuteness, IS well as the broadmindedness of his comments on conditions as these now exist in the United States"
 There is a disposition on the part of those conservative buesiness men who are commonly supposed to be sup porting Harmon, to turn from the Ohio man and look with increasing favor on Underwood. As one of the most powerful of the old democratic machine leaders in the east expressed 1t: "Harmon's been on the shelf a long time; he's getting shopworn." UnderWood IS sounu oBlSSsiNe oii the tariff. and that, together with his splendid generalship in the manage ment of the democratic Congress, com mends him to the radicals; on such issues as the initiative and referendum, he is an apowed standpatter; that com mends him to the conservatives. The New York and eastern leaders would probably make up their minds defi- nitely to back Underwood but for a lurking fear that he may be handi- capped as a vote getter by the fact that he is a southerner, a doubt which grows less the longer it is looked in tl,a

FIRST "pRINTER.s DEVIL,

"The Publisher and Printer Charles
 Winslow Hall, in National Ma sazine for
 January.
 Aldus Manutius, who in 14sS set up his office in Venice. has long been famous as the first of the publishers of the famous Aldine classics, which today are so high ly prized by book collectors. He was the author of a Latin grammar, a Greek dic- tionary and a treatise on the metrical methods of the poet Horace, and orlgi- mated the form of type known by us as talc, and by German printers as eur sive" type.
 He is also said to be responsible for the name of printers devil" almost world- wide in it's application to the youngest boy in the office. A young negro slave em- ployed in his office, who was very black and dirty that his natural ugliness had become an almost fiendish expression, be- came feared and known all over Venice as 'the little black devil" and Manutus at last realized that the boy and himself had dangerously awakened the supersti- tious fears and dislike of the more igno- rant Nenetians. He accordingly formally exhibited him during a whole day on the public streets, and had the criers make this proclamation throughout the city:
 "I, Aldus Manutius, printer to the holy church and the doge, have this day made public exposure of the printers devil. All who think he is not flesh and blood may come and prick him.

A PULLMAN CAR STORY
n, inc New York Mail.

From the New 1Ofh Mall.
 A dozen men in the smoking compart- nnent of a Pullman car were discussing the shocking downfall of a Boston minis ter. The tide ran all one way Most of them were young-evidenty business men, not idlers For a time the injury done by one recreant minister seemed crush CT. His crime was made to discredit all preachers of righteousness. To listen was to feel the foundations of good citizen ship crack and crumbe
 Suddenly a quiet man in the corner ~e- moved his cigar, laid down the morning paper which he had been reading and put his finger on a modestly printed news itcm Hear this" he said. 'It is in the same daily news. A hardy Bishop of Alaska reports that he has covered thou sands of miles on snowshoes, with only an Indian guide. Mercury 70 degrees be- low zero often-generally 50 degrees be- low. This clergyman is physician to the sick Indians; he is dentist, he is adviser; he marries them and buries their dead. He begins and ends all with the teachings of the Christian religion. Often he walks hundreds of miles on one trip. often on his sledges he takes provisions to the starving solitary miners hut.
 That's the kind that evens up!' broke in one young man. Every man echoed the statement. In moment the whole senti- ment, that was slumping in social ruin, was changed Men smiled as if in real relief.
 Perhaps the worthy bishop, now in New York, will be comforted to know that his heroic story. on the same page of the days history with noisome treason tc

 It cures putrescence. He had no idea, nc forecast, that the noble and sweet music

Regarding Rank Clenrinrs

q read recently an editorial in, The Age-Herald in which the writer pointed out the misleading effect of the bank clearings of certain cities" said an ob- server
 'l have been saying for the past 9 years that clearing house statistics were misleading, and that their publication should not be encouraged by commer- cial clubs or chambers of commerce. Bank clearings really mean nothing. As was suggested in the editorial alluded to, if the clearing house association of each city would consolidate the transactions of the banks and publish the total week. ly, then we would have something by which to judge of the wealth and com mercial activity of such city. The trans actions of Birmingham banks last year amounted, it is said. to fully s2,00O, GOO coo Could Atlanta make such showing as that? I think not And yet unsophisti- cated persons who see Atlanta's statistics have an idea that its banking business is much larger than that of Birming- ham.
 'Mr. J. M Adams president and gen eral manager of the Adams-Gunnels Lum- Der company, with office quarters in the Brown-M Marx building, says that an At lanta man sent him a clipping from ar Atlanta paper this week with fussy head lines as follows: Atlanta Clearings Show Biggest Gain in United States.
