struction industry have been called by
President Harry A. Wheeler of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United

mittee will be formed.
Building construction is the largest
and most complex of the 200 and more

mittees previously organized have in
volved merely the coordination of
non-members with some representa-
tive organization in a single trade.
The Atlantic City gathering confronts
the task of first federating into one
vast national unit between 100 and
200 national, regional state and local
associations in scores Of trades, from
the cellar concrete to the roof slate,
and then drawing from the result a
war service committee which can
speak for the entire industry.
Coordinate assistance to the gov
ernment during the war and "re-es-
tablishment and maintenance of the
general prosperity of the industry"
are what President Wheeler mentions
as the business Of the meeting, which
he will open with an address.
Each organization is urged to send
as many representatives as possible
and to name one delegate-preferably
a prominent business man-to serve
on an immediate and temporary war
service committee in case permanent
organization is postponed for delibera-
tion-
Arrangements for the conference are
being made by Allen Walker, Chamber
of Commerce Of the United States,
