The proposed organization OF a la

Der OF Commerce IL. 4 believe, one OF
the most desirable moves recently
made by this organizations. The
work OF the Chamber has heretofore
been deprived OF MUCH public Interest
and support fof the reason hat there
was M established machinery for di-
rectly Interesting any citizens except
business men in that work. A re-
view OF the projects undertaken by
the Chamber OF Commerce easily es-
tahiiahes the fact that two-thlrds OF
thuse projects are OF direct Interest TO
oil citizens rather than 10 any partie-
ular group OF citizens.

taken than Il can be adjusted after

tive OF the labor bureau and the re-
Tnainder OF h Chamber OF Commerce
can therefore exchange mutually val
liable services BY Jointly fecoInmend-
ing action on any question rather
than by severely criticiaing the action
taken. Chamber Of Commerce work
is sometimes viewed with dissatisfac-
tion by those not directly In touch
with u. aud there can hardly be any
question about tbs fact that the best
way TO remove such dissatinfaction ~
to put as many people as possible d.
rectly In touch with our activities.
In short. the Chamber OF Commerce
purporis TO represent the whole COM
mun,ty. and while a majority Of IFS
