N ATIONAL ORGANIZATION
TO BENEFIT BUSINESS

by the delegates Of representative or
eanizations.
IT is not my intention Ia define the
purposes OF such an organzation, on
indeed in any manner 10 anticipate the
scope of the discussion upon which
such delegates may conclude to enter;
but II appears 10 me Ia be obvious
that such an organization must be i'm
/ strumental in a very large field To aid
and assist the executive and legisla-
| tive branches of government i'm the
| Intelligent and impartial development
of domestic and foreign trade. For
/ Illustration, such an organization prop
/ erly represented at the seat Of govern
nient could be of incalculable assist
ance in advising the executive branch
OF government. with respect to the
methods and rules I'm the administra-
ton of existing law. II could be Of
like assistance in giving advice in re-
gard To proposed new legislation and
in counseling representatives of the
executive branch when asked 10 sub
nit recommendations upon bills intro
duced and pending before committees
such an organization would be in the
best possible position TO suggest fields
for new inquiry at home and abroad,
the methods by which such inquiries
should be pursued. and the means by
which the results can be most advan-
tGgeously brought TO the attention of
our merchants and manufacturers;
and il is safe to assume that if sucn
an organization is created it's chief ac:
tivities will be developed in the light
OF our own experience. II may not
be necessary that we adopt a course
In all respects patterned upon the sys-
tenn of any other commercial or in
dustrial country. but it is obvious that
by some means immediate relation be-
tween the government activities and
the commercial and Industrial forces
Of our country must be established
IL we propose TO enjoy the full adj
vantage OF our opportunity i'm domes-
tic and foreign trade.
Il have. accordingly, instructed the
secretary OF commerce and labor 20
take the necessary steps TO initiate as
soon as practicable at Washington
conference of delegates from organiza-
tions which are engaged i'm the promo
tion and development of commerce and
industry in their respective districts.
such conference TO consider the es-
tablishment of a representative nation
al organization for commercial devel-
opment, and to outline the principles
by which it should be governed. The
development of the plan will be left en-
tirely with the accredited representa-
tives Of such commercial organiza-
tions, the essential principles being
that the national association shall be
broadly representative of the CONNER
cial interests of the whole country, and
that it's organization shall be such that
those in control of the association shall
be readily responsive to the will Of the
majority of the. constituent MEM
bers."

the Fifteenth of April.

President Taft on March ist signed a
statement. which follows. in which at
tention is invited To the great value
that would result from the establish
ment OF a national organization broad
~ representative OF the commercial
interests OF the whole country. In
accordance with the terms OF this
statement. which assigns to the sec
retary of the department of COM
merce and labor the duty To initiate
movement for the establishment OF
such a national organization, by call
ing meeting OF representative COM
mercial and industrial associations OF
the United States for the purpose of
considering the question and outlin-
ing the principles by which such an
organization should be governed sec
rotary Nagel has arranged for such a
conference TO be held in Washington
on April Is.
The Presidents Statement.
The presidents statement is as fol-
lows:
In a message on foreign relations
communicated to congress on Decem-
ber 9TH last I expressed my belief
that it would be OF great value to
have some central organization in
touch with the associations and cham
bers OF commerce throughout the coun-
try, and able TO keep purely American
interests closely in touch with COM
n 70 10. IN
prompted by suggestions that had been
made from time to time by the repre-
sentatives of various commercial and
industrial interests i'm ali parts OF the
country. These suggestions were fully
confirmed by the experience of those
executive branches OF the government
which are more especially charged with
measures calculated TO develop do
mestic and foreign commerce. In the
past several attempts have been made
to organize commercial bodies upon
a national basis, but for one reason
or another these efforts have not met
with success. one of the great diff
culties arose from the fact that none
of these general organizations was Of
a character TO make IL possible or
proper for the government to recogn-
ize IL as representative of the com
mercial and industrial interests of the
country The plan of broadly repre-
sentative national organization so pro-
posed by me has met with such re-
sponse from commercial and industrial
ORGANIZATIONS in every part OF the
country that | believe the time is ripe

ment and l have concluded to take
the initiative so as to create the oppor-
tunty for full discussion and decision

BIG SEASON IN SIGHT.
All conaitiens Point TO Brisk Opening
Of Navigation.

Every natural condition favors big
lake season. says the Duluth Herald.
Coal and ore stocks will be about eX-
hausted when navigation opens. Wheat
and other grains are piling up at the
Head OF the Lakes. awaiting transpor-
tation down. The severe winter may
make the carrying season short
Yet the vesselmen are in doubt. They
say they should have a good season.
but are making no plans for IL. They
are moving with caution and awaiting
developments. Politics and labor
troubles in the coal fields are the big
gest OF the black clouds of fear.
Another great anthracite coal strike
is threatening. There are rumblings
OF trouble on April in the bituminous
fields.
Coal stocks have not been accumu-
lated against the possibility of gem
eral strike. The severe winter has re-
suited in an enormous increase in con-
sumption, which has prevented general
boarding. With milder weather they
are catching up.
Loading Of coal FOR the first up-lake
trip has scarcely started Last week
the :. T. b. Morse was loaded at Irish
town ard has since returned 20 her
berth q the Nypano docks in Cleve-
land. Her place was taken by the r.
w T. Bunsen. which will be loaded
this week. Both belong to the Pitts
burg Steamship company's fleet, which
announced some time ago that II would
load coal into several boats before
navigation opens.
No coal charters have been made
FOR boats of other fleets. Managers of
the smaller fieets-the so-called inde-
Yendents-are hoping that before ma
vigation opens there will be a rush Of
business which will keep everything
moving at good rates. Although fear
ing that their hopes may not be real
lied. they are inclined to take chances
on better prices for waiting.
The ore situation is similar 10 that
of coal. without the strike possibility.
The United States Steel corporation
is using much more ore than at this
time last year, and is preparing TO
bring down more than I'm 1911. Inde-
pendent manufacturers and shippers
also expect TO increase. II is general
" expected that the price range for
ere will be below last year due chief
~ TO a reduction i'm railroad rates from
the mines to the loading docks.
Another speculative subject which
arouses great diversity OF opinion is
the date OF navigation opening Some
old masters say that the 500 locks will
not be able TO open before the middle
o. May. the latest on record. Others
insist that a little moderate weather
will cause the heavy ice to disappear
suddenly. so that opening will not be
unusually delayed.

library TO present the subject To Miss

was informed that ii those interested
would procure the volumes desired
they would be given space on the H.
brary shelves.
II was the impression Ct Mr.. Milano
and those whom he represented, THAI
the books in foreign languages were
being procured by the library authori-
ties. and If this is the case, he thinks
that the Italian books should be fur
nished in like manner, as the Italian
taxpayers pay their share towards the
support Of the library. If on the other
hand the Germans and Finnish pro-
vide the books. then Mr. Milano says
that the people OF his Nationality would
not object 70 doing the same.
