TO DISCUSS MEANS TO
IMPROVE IMMEDIATE BUSINESS

SPOKANE-At the Spokane meet
ing of the western division of the
United States Chamber of Commerce,
December and 5, means to improve
immediate unemployment conditions
will be the main subject of discussion,
and because the program will attack
this vital problem affecting every bust
ness activity, the Spokane meeting will
be the most important and probably
the most largely attended of any ever
held by the Western Division, accord
ing to Paul Clagstone, manager.

can be accelerated" Mr. Clagstone said.
1T is industry's problem. The program
at the Spokane meeting is in line with
the work begun at the last meeting OF
the National Chamber to stimulate in
dustry and to stabilize employment.
Strengthening the workers morale,
with its resultant stimulation OF buy
ing, can be achieved by assuring maxi
mum steady employment throughout
the year. AT Spokane plan will be
proposed for organization of Pacific
slope industry and business in order to
provide steady employment and to
| speed the pull back to normal condi-
tons. This plan includes the immediate
| speeding up of private and govern
mental construction activities.
The plan to be presented at the
Spokane meeting has been tried Out
by CALIFORNIA; State Chamber Of Com
merce and has proved sound and prac-
teal 1t recognizes that no local group
or groups can cope with the problem
alone and that the attack must be made
jointly by all groups in natural trade
or regional area. The plan, if adopted
will unity the attack of Pacific slope
business on the unemployment prob

Martin investigated and found Cas- tele's body among the tombstones He arrested Miss Morgan at once knowing of her friendship with Cas- tele.
