 demand for a change in the coustitu-
 tion the league committee did not | think that necessary, but that it
 might have been altered to take care
 of board of governors, and the
 league committee had offered to give
 the c. of c. all the committees of the
 organization.
 He reported on the demand for
 complete reorganization of the bodies, after a resignation of the off, cers of both organizations, that the
 committee did not agree that it could insult the officers of the league by asking their resienations three Rdays after election for the year, and
 that they would not agree to that.
 'f told them myself" added Mir. Rix
 that thought if they would agree
 to come in. we would control two of
 the officers, but they demanded that
 all of the officers resign"
 He added that they agreed to take in the members of the C. of C. and
 let their membership continue to the
 time paid in that body, on the books
 of the league.
 Dr. A. U. Williams of the commit tee stated Mir. Rix had made sub
 stantially the report of the proceed ings. He did believe, however that
 there was chance of working out consolidation, which he favored Gus Strauss made his report as member of the committee. He said they had agreed to amend the consti tuition, and to give board of gov. ernors. He believed the executive committee plan of the league was too restricted and too circumscribed to
 be as useful as a larger executive
 body might be.
 Tom Petit of the committee said the c. of c. committee seemed to
 have thought the league hadn't done
 things they should do, and ought to
 step down and out He said he
 thought the league committee made
 fair offering to the other commit
 tee. Why didn't they come in the league some months ago?' he asked. President Eisele said that he be- lieved from the report the league committee had held out the olive | branch. He said he didn't care a rap about being president of the league, and he thought other officers felt the same way about it. He said he would step down and out if that were neces- sary to promote the end sought. He added that he favored the consolida-
 tion, but they had pride in the old | organization, of so many years of use 1 fitness.
 Dr. Williams here took occasion to
 say that when Mir. Petit spoke of the
 other committee wanting the league officers to step down and out" he
 must have spoken rather from a sum
 mary of the proposals, than from an
 actual demand made by the other 1 committee.
 Dr. Holland believed that the or ganizations could get together. He l thought there ought to be a move in the league to change the constitution. | He said states outgrew their constitu- | tions. The league constitution was written years ago, and might be l broadened.
 MT. Strauss moved that commit 1 tee of five be named by the league to
 review its constitution, and make a
 report back relative to change it
 might think necessary. This motion
 was seconded by Dr. brennan.
 Simon Cooper thought the present
 constitution was sufficient, and be-
 cause the members did not know | much about it, he had President i Eisele read it to the meeting. The matter of taking up the Strauss motion for committee to change the
 constitution was then before the
 body, and Dr. Williams said he did
 not believe that the league should
 name the committee at this time, but should rather handle that situation in
 different manner, so the Young | Mems Chamber of Commerce could be consulted with as to what it | wanted in this respect.
 Simon Cooper thought the constitu- ton was satisfactory, and that he did
 not believe 1t needed any changing. Harry Lerman thought that if the l committee were named, and made a report, it would furnish the members l of the C. of c. who were league mem.
 bers an opportunity to show whether they were in good faith or not by
 being present at the committee re- port to pass on the matter. The motion of Mir. Strauss was put
 and carried with but the two negative
 votes by MT. Rix and MT. Cooper. President Eisele stated that he would take time before naming the f committee of five. He said by virtue
 of MT. Strauss having made the mo. | tion he would be chairman of the
 committee, but he would take further
 time to name the other four. | A motion that the committee report be received and the committee dis | charged brought uD A new contr0-
