BUSINESS MEMS LEAGUE COM. MlTTEE WOULD NOT YIELD
 TO ANY PROPOSALS.
5 HOUR CONFERENCE HELD
Young Mems Chamber of Commerce Yielded One Point, and Were Pre- pared to Give and Take on Others They Had Proposed.

The harmony plan seems all off.
 The committees from the Business Mems League and the Young Mems Chamber of Commerce met last night in a three-hour session to try to get down to a working basis.
 They never got anywhere.
 There was a full attendance of the members of the committee. Those representing the Business Mems League were Hamp Williams, C. N. Rix, Dr. A. U Williams, Tom Petit and Gus Strauss. For the Young Mems Chamber of Commerce there were pr. Tribble, Gilbert Hogaboom, Arthur Katz, pr. Forbes and Hartley Wooten.
 It was evident from the start that the Business Mems League commit tee had assumed a stand-pat attitude. The Young Mems Chamber of Com merce could be delivered into the Business Mems League, but that was about all the league committee would consent to.
 Ihe Young Mems Chamber of Com smerce committee, seeing some step Aad to be taken, yielded a point. They indicated they would favor a Reorganization of the two organiza- tions into one harmonious working body, the reorganization to take nIa ca s. e+ap 4I,a eFf;no,5 ,f tNotI, tu.t; tutions had resigned, so that in the new organization the whole of the membership could vote by ballot for the new officers.
 1he league committee stood pat against any reorganization. The off cers they had just elected would have to be the officers of the league, and they would remain so.
 The Chamber of Commerce com mittee went a step further and indi- cated it would consent to the name of the reorganization being the Busi- ness Mems League, but would in return expect the officers to be elected over again by the entire membership, and some changes to be made in the constitution, so that the field would be more enlarged, as un- der the present constitution of the Young Mems Chamber of Commerce.
 The league committee would not agree to any material changes, and in fact did not make any move to- ward agreeing to anything, except that the present membership of the Young Mems Chamber of Commerce should become members of the Busi- ness Mems League.
 At the conclusion no arrangements were made for a further conference. None of the committee seemed to think it was necessary or would serve any useful purpose.
 It was reported that the Business Mems League would call a special meeting to be held Monday night to receive the report of it's committee. That would naturally anticipate the joint meeting that was to have been held Thursday night, when the com mittee report was to be received by the two organizations.
 What the Young Mems Chamber of Commerce will do in the matter will probably be announced quite soon through the board of governors, to whom the report of the committee for this organization will be made without waiting for the joint meeting that was to have been held Thursday night
 There was much argument on both sides during the long conference held in the Business Mems League rooms last night. The committee from the league stated they had no proposal to make. and rather left the issue tc come from the Chamber of Com merce, a situation which the repre- sentatives of the younger organiza ton met when they suggested tha they felt they were authorized to pro pose that there be a reorganization or an organization of new commer cldi DOuy, tO NOTk tUStttitl HI itdi mony. In this connection they would expect the reorganization or the or ganization to be perfected new, an, that some of the features of tn Chamber of Commerce constitution should be adopted, such as a boar of governors of nine or eleven mem bers, instead of the executive con
