WHIP 'EM IN LINEI
President McEntire of G.. of C..
Adopts Effective Policy.
Committees Meet To Do Work
in Right Way.

For every committeeman a job,
and every job tended all the time by
committeeman" it is the new effective
doctrine laid down for Chamber of
Commerce committeeman at the first
meeting of the committees at the
Chamber of Commerce Monday night.
The dictum was eXpounded by Presi-
dent George p. McEntire, and the
committeeman fell into line with en-
thusiasm. 1t remains to be seen
whether this enthusiasm is a mere
flash in the pan or is the small fire
that starts the raging blaze of accom-
plishment.
Each committee started operations
by reading special list of instructions
from President McEntire, who SO early
in his career as president of the
Chamber of Commerce is showing the
famous Wilsonian tendency of whip
'em into line" In McEntire's policy
the whip is the threat, eff you commit
teemen do not do the work assigned
to you it will go undone." 1t is ex-
pected that the new order will have
a salutatory effect on the men.
Most of the committees in session
Monday night have some drastic re-
forms they wish to put in action at the
earliest possible opportunity. About
the only committee left over from the
Mitchell administration is the military
committee under the Craftsmanship of
d. w. Mulvane. 1t was this commit
tee that put all of the big war fund
drives far over the top
List of Committees.
