CONSOLIDATION OF THE COM MERchAL ORGANIZATIONS DIS
 GUESSED AT THE SESSION.
ALL HOPE IS NOT YET LOST
Committee Reports to League That 1t Agreed to Two of the Four Pro posals by the Young Mems Cham Der of Commerce.

The Business Mems League last night heard the report of the com mittee which it had appointed to con fer with a like committee from the Young Mems Chamber of Commerce, looking to a consolidation of the commercial organizations, and while the one material point in contention between the committees, which is the. reelection of all officers, was re- jected yet the league decided to keep the committee and meet with the Young Mems Chamber of Commerce Thursday night in joint session, as provided in the resolutions which passed both bodies.
 There was a ray of hope shed over the situation when Gus Strauss, who mad been one of the league commit tee, moved that committee of five on the changing of the constitution and bylaws of the league be named Mir. Strauss said that had been one constitution of the league should be broadened. And he believed that such step would show spirit of good faith, that might lead to other things. The Strauss motion was adopted, there being but the two negative votes of c. N. Rix and Simon Cooper to the motion.
 The committee report had been made by Captain Rix in the absence of Hamp Williams, who Mr. Rix said had been unexpectedly called from the city. Captain Rix took the stand that the published report in The Sentinel+Record that the league cons mittee had made no concessions was fabrication. He said the paper may have made the report on what it had been informed had been the proceed ings of the meeting, but that there had been a tacit understanding there would be no public report made of jhe proceedings of that conference.
 In brief his report, as evidenced by memorandum Dr. A. U. Williams had on the subject. was that the com mittee from the Young Mems Cham her of Commerce had made four de manus. and that the committee had favored two of the demands, and re- jected two. He said that the com mittees neither spoke with final au- thority, but discussed recommends lions they were to make later to the membership of their bodies.
 The four points which Messrs. Rix and Williams said had been raised and had been taken as proposals or demands by the other organization were.
 CD Change of league name. Re jected.
 @ New constitution. Acquiesced in.
 (3) Reorganization, Rejected.
 (i) Take in c. of c. members, giy- ing credits Acquiesced in.
 1t was on the report of these points that the league finally last endorsed by vote the action of the committee. That endorsed report, now, will be presented to the joint committee of the league and the Young Mems Chamber of Commerce next Thursday night
 Previous to the adjournment of the meeting President Eisele announced that the executive committee of the Business Mems League at a session held yesterday afternoon had elected George R. Bedding, secretary, which announcement was greeted with cheers by those present.
 In presenting the report of the con ference committee, Mir. Rix stated that when the question of the name of the league was brought up the league committee took a stand that it could not consider a change in the name of the organization. It was probably this point that Mir. Rix criticised The Sentinel Record report severely on We had been advised that the Chamber of Commerce com mittee, while it probably at the outset asked for a change in the name to Commercial-Lea or something of that sort, had later informed the league committee that it would ac. quiesce that the league name be as it stood. Our advice was that this point. while probably discussed had not been in the form of a demand
