YOUNG MEMS BUSINESS LEAGUE
HOLDS ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING

III Ihe clty, was neld on tuesday
night, February 18th.
Despite the very unfavorable wealth
er that prevailed, there was present
at this meeting, between 20 and 80
young business men, between the
ages of 81 and 40 years, representing
practically every business enterprise
or industry in the city, which was
very gratifying to the ones who called
the meeting.
There were several who responded
to the invitation of the chairman to
make talk, all Of which were thor
oughly enjoyed by those present. Mat
ters of vital interest to the city and
county at large were discussed, pro
and con, and at length, and after hear
ing these personal expressions of opin-
ions, it was the unanimous opinion
of the body that some kind of an or
ganization should be formed, with
proper officers, etc., through which
the ideas expressed could be made a
reality, thereby being direct ben
eft to the public at large.
Some of the young men present,
who had been giving such an organ
lzation much thought and attention,
and who had gone so far as to secure
at great deal of trouble and expense
just such information as would bc
needed in the formation of an orgap.-
zation of this kind, presented foc the
approval and acceptance of the body,
a very complete and definite set of
bylaws which they had drafted, and
upon motion unanimously carried,
these bylaws were adopted.
The next step was the selection of
an appropriate name, and having
heard of the wonderful work being
done in neighboring cities by the
Young Mems Business League, it was
quickly decided by them that their
own organization should be called The
Young Mems Business League, whose
mission it would be to promote the
civic and industrial interest of Union
and Union County; to educate it's
members to proper sense of civic
duty and responsibility: to inform
them of the civic, commercial, edu-
cational and industrial advantages of
Union and Union County; to afford it's
members an opportunity to study the
problems and processes of our city
and county government, and to op-
crate and function as a commercial
organization of city and county.
Having fully realized that the young
men of today would eventually have
to step in and relieve the older men
who have so faithfully and efficiently
performed these duties during the
past, it was thought best to divide
the membership into three distinct
classes, vic, Active, Advisory and
Honorary.
The active members of the League
will be charged with the responsible
ity of the active management, and
will be composed of men between the
ages of 81 and 40 years of age.
The advisory membership will be
composed Of men over 40 years of
age, with dues the same as active
members, but with no voting power,
btu will be called upon from time to
time for advice upon matters con-
fronting the league.
The honorary membership, by a
vote of the majority of the entire
board Of directors, may be conferred
upon such persons as may be deemed
worthy of the honor.
The government of the league will
be vested in board of IL directors,
chosen by the membership, from the
membership, to be elected at each
annual meeting, six to serve for a
period of two years, and six to serve
for one year.
After the election of the directorate,
they will, in turn, within ten days af-
ter the annual election, meet and elect
a president, two vice-presidents, a
treasurer and a secretary, all of whom
must be members of the board, except
the secretary.
ANY vacancy by resignation or 9TH
erwise in the board of directors shall
be filled by the board, only until the
next general election, at which time
the membership shall elect director
or directors to fill such vacancies.
The duties of the various officers
shall be such as their title by general
usage would indicate, and such as may
be assigned them from time to time
hy the board Of directors.
In order that no person or persons
may be imposed upon in having the
responsibility of active service or
management upon them from year to
year, provision has been created in
the bylaws, which provides that no
officer or director can be reelected.
1t was the unanimous opinion of
those present that membership meet
ings should be held as often as possi-
bic, but not less than six times each
year, while board Of directors should
