Chamber of Commerce Presidents Comment on Seattle
Star-Tacoma Times Joint Editorial Urging Busi-
ness Men of Two Cities to Work Together
ny ROBERT 3. BoyNs.

President OF the Seattle Chamber OF Coumerco
NNE OF the first acts Of the trustees Of the
" Seattle Chamber OF commercs and Com
mcrcial club this year was to approve q
letter suggcsted by its president which was sent
10 all tho commercial bodies of the state. urging
cooperation and pedging It's support In every
way possible TO that end. Tho interests OF any
one community OF tho state the interests Of
every community. The welfare Of the smallest
community is vital to the welfare Of the whole.
To this end tho Seattle Chamber Of commercs
has worked with sincerity and proposes TO con-
tinue to work.
The Seattle Chamber Of Commerce and Com
mercial club has not at any time knowingly said
or done n thing that every other commercial
organization OF the state would not have done In
a like situation and tho welfare Of the state was
the first consideration
There has ever been borne In mind the fact
that tho state is a family and the welfare OF any
one section however small is vital to the welfare
OF the whole.
Tho Seattle Chamber Of Commerce and Com
merciaI club In anxious 20 cooperate with Taco.
ma IN every respect and win work for the good
OF Tacoma willingly and an enthusiastically ms
for her own interest This is also true OF So
atfls's attitude TO all parts OF the state
Az far as we arc concerned there is no boycott
between the cities. An error was made In this
particular from a misunderstanding OF facts, and
I am the Seattle merchants nave no IDEA
OF retaiiating In any particular Tacomas pros
perity is linked inseparabiy with that OF Seattle
and Vice versa
There Is a nced--s vital need-for every part
of our great state getting together and pulling
together as one OF the things that VIII mean the
prosperity OF ALL and no organization OF the state
will enter more heartily into such move than
will the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Com
merciai club.
The ports OF Puget sound and their business
affects the whole state and must be fostered by
every part Our tremendous resources as the
summer playground OF America must be dcvel-
oped Il can be made greatest industry, our
most profitable one Our present factories must
be strengthened and encouraged and new ones
secured. Our arid and semi-arid lands must be
irrigated until they produce hundred.fold more
than they can possibly produce without irriga
tion. Irrigation and reclamation are vital to the
whole state.
II would be easy to show the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce and Commercial club is hard at
work on all these problems. and others. and pro
poses TO continue In this work OF cementing the
state into one harmonious whole, and TO this end
win work whole .heartedly With every other COM
munity United we can bring out the untold re
sources OF our state and make our name tho

President Tacoma Commercial Club and Chamber
Of Commerce.

OF commerce.
A REQUEST for comment and views on the
~ editorial entitled Seattle and Tacoma Must
Work Together" can be complied with In
that In very short time an editorial may follow
with the statement OF the fact that Tacoma and
Seattle Arc Working Together"
A few weeks ago. while addressing the mem.
bers council OF the Seattle Chamber OF Com
merce and Commercial club took occasion to
mention several subjects Oh which this city
should unite for the common good OF both. The
advantages OF friendly cooperation between the
two cities so evident that detailed enumera-
ton is unnecessary. Yet. we are confronted with
the knowledge that past efforts In this respect
have not always been successful.
I suppose the editorial would not have been
deemed necessary excepting for a sentiment
which took definite form during the early sum-
mer among a considerable number OF people in
Tacoma TO the effect that there had been no
many recent examples OF hostile action on the
part OF citizens Of Seattle that citizens OF Tacoma
could no longer remain In passive attitude.
Some even advocated a boycott OF Seattle. but
the idea did not find much support Yet. with
many citizens aroused on the subject. II was only
natural that there a reluctance among many
individuals to send business TO n city where there
were so many evidences OF hostile intent II
felt that the accumulation OF Instances OF unfair
advertising and hostile expressions had become
great that no other conclusion could be drawn.
Nor tho conviction relieved by explanation
that the acts complained OF were without the
sanction OF the influential citizens of Seattle but
were merely the work OF irresponsible agents.
The people of Tacoma have been unable TO
understand how these acts could continue over
a period of years II they we're disapproved by
the mass Of people OF seattle. In other words.
public sentiment could easily and quickly put an
end TO such acts
have discussed the matter with such large
number OF people that believe am expressing
a composite thought on the subject.
