Announcement Of the plan was maae
b. W. l.. Saunders, president OF the

the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers and the American Chemical
society.
The four societies together have !
membership of some $1,000 men. They
have branches and Numerous repre-
sentatiyes in every state 81 the Union.
In gathering the material the work
will be allotted by states. the factories
and industrial capabilities OF eacn

with the organization necessary. The
letter was as follows:
THE work which the American In
stitute of Mining Engineers has done
through its members on the naval con

which is deeply appreciated. 1t has
been SO valuable that am tempted to
ask that you request the institute to
enlarge its usefulness to the govern
