action of the chamber. for it had no
compromise to offer. | don't think
the chamber ought to pass a resolu-
ton asking me to do anything. Hav-
ing no compromise it had no right
to ask me to dismiss my complaint
and | am not obliged to follow its
request"
Either | am under a misappre-
hension," said Mr.. Doyle, in reply TO
this Introductory upon the part of
Mr.. Zurich, "or Mr.. Zurich is. A
meeting was held and the public
was invited, and also a subsequent
meeting, to which the public was in
vited. In view of the nature of the
report of the committee it could not
be considered otherwise than as a
compromise. The report was that
the members of the committee had
met Mr.. Hickey and had been adj
vised that If Mr.. Zurich would with.
draw his petition then We could pro
coed to do business. 1t was the con-
sensus of opinion of those present

1.-The railroad offered nothing" re.
torted Mr.. Zurich. No compromise
was offered. 1t did not meeC with
the requirements for which the com.
mittee was appointed. 1t got ahgo-
lutely nothing. They went before
Mr.. Hickey on Bonded knee
and here Mr.. Pittman broke in.
Where did you get that Blended
knee? Who said we went before
Mr.. Hickey on Bonded knee?" shout
ed Mr.. Pittman, in a rage of ungov-
ernable temper.
The speakers face flushed like
fire, the red extended down his neck
and back of his ears. and so it re-
NAMED until adjournment. He
charged at Zurich like a Gagged ami
NAL, his arms making frantic ges
lures, and had there not been a huge
desk and some occupied chairs in the
way 1t appeared like he would have
attempted a personal assault. There
was nothing in his reach to be i'm
provised as a weapon which in his
h~ot-headed condition might have Gre
ated a serious situation.
Il got it from the Ely papers" re,
piled Mr.. Zurich, after his opponent
had partially subsidized.
From what paper?" demanded
Mr.. Pittman in imperious tones.
You did not get it from the Times. E"
II don't remember what paper"
said Mr.. Zurich, but I think J gath.
cred it from all of them"
You put yourself up as dictator"
said Mr.. Pittman, "and because we
did not do just as you wanted us to
now yon want to belittle the Cham
Der of Commerce"
1T was on my motion hat this
committee was appointed" said Mr..
Zurich. You were instructed to
call on Mr.. Hickey 10 see IL you could
not get some compromise-some con-
cession-and you got no compromise.
Now did you get q compromised"
"Mr. Hickey said he had no com.
promise TO Offer" said Mr.. Pittman.
HE said the complaint was not
predicated on justice, but there was
nothing rude"
That's just what | mean, that you
got no compromise. for Mr.. Hickey
told you he had no compromise to
offer and that he would not compro-
mise. You had no business to hold
such a meeting and pass any resolu-
tion asking me to do anything what
ever. I've got only contempt for
members of a committee who will
lay down like you did. Why don't
you do something for Ely instead of
laying down? Why not act or dis
band? If you are going to act as n
chamber of commerce. when your
rights are involved don't be afraid.
This Chamber Of Commerce has been
a izzle and a joke ever since it start.
