Lust night's icgular monthly meeting
of the board of trade was practically
the opontng session of the fiscal year
1SDR not exactly that, but it wus the
fiist session since Luther Keller as
sumed the presidency and the other
officers assumed their several positions.
Maybe on this account there wns an
unusually large attendancft and befoie
the meeting adjourned a large volume
of business was trans-acted and .the
banquet committee authorized to ar
langu for a supper In connection with
next month's regular meeting.
Tho following new committees were

President Keller made an ur
gent appenl for co-operation and
help from the committees and
members of the bcwml Individ
ually. He said it should be the
board's aim during the ear to increare
the membership from 17G to at least
273. The additional $1,000 thus gained,
he argued, could be well spent in Ju
diciously advertising Scranton's manu
facturing advantages and in general
forwarding the board's work. The pro
posed increase of membership had "been
talked each year, sincerely perhaps,
but had not been followed with the ac
tivity and spliit the urgency of the
case demanded. He pledged himself to
secure at least ono new member be
frro the year closed and urged similar
pledges from each! member of the board.
President Keller suggested that no
further effort be made to Becure in
dustries employing female labor. That
Held was pretty well covered he thought
by the four silk mils on the South Side,
one in the NortJi nnd, one now building
In the Tenth ward, one in the central
city and one in Taylor, employing al
together ubout r.,000 hands mostly fe
males. It should be the aim of the
board to secure as many diversified In
dustries as possible, small Industries,
each employing from 50 hands upward.
The city "vould receive greater benefit,
he thought, from several new small
concerns than from one large one, and
no difficulty should be experienced in
securing several each year.
His views, he said, coincided with
those of the retiring president, AV. A.
May, who could not attend the meet
ing on account of an engagement out
side the city, but who had written him
(the speaker) a lottei
On motion of A. XV. Dickson, the let
ter was received and Its suggestions
refetred to the appropriate committees.
REMARKS MAD13.
Later in the meeting remarks on the
future policy of the board were made
by Mr. Dickson, Colonel P. L. Hitch
cock and II. L Paine. The full tenor
of the comments cannot be mentioned
for lack of space. Mr. Dickson ndvo
cnted the Injection of new young blood
Into the board nnd the purpose to do
for the good of tho city at large rather
than for the board as an organization.
The board should be the esprit tie corps
of the city. Colonel Hitchcock sug
gested a wider discussion of general
topics, topics ot national Interest. He
thought the members could not be too
much benefitted by the enlightenment
they would receive on the great ques
tions of tlie day and which indirectly
had their effect In Scranton's welfare.
Charles Schlagcr suggested near the
clone of the meeting that a supper be
glrn In tho near future in the board
rooms. He put his suggestion In the
fuim of a motion and after some dis
cussion a motion was offered bv Mr.
Dickson nnd adopted that tho banquet
committee arrange with the board's
ollieers for a supper on the next meet
ing night. The committee got Us cue
from the discussion of the matter that
the suprer Is to he served by the Scran
ton club stewaid at a cost ot about a
dollar per plate.
The report of the finance committee
contained the Information that the ac
counts of A. XV. Dickson, treasurer, and
D. P. AtheiUin, secictary, had been ex
amined and found coriect. The com
mittee's recommendation that eight
tnembeis be suspended for non-payment
of dues was adopted. The rec
ommendation had Involved six others,
but they paid their arrearages before
the meeting began.
John J. Mears w as elected a member,

Secretary Atherton, waa received and

A letter was lead from the Manufac
turers' association of Kings and Queens
counties (New York) Inviting- co-operation

Bill 5339 for postal reform. Tha letter

committee on postal affairs with In
structions to report at the next meet
ing A letter was lead from tha And
Sculping Bureau of ' Information call

pcnlplng bill, Senate No, 1G7S, house

board's action upprovln,? It final pass
age. The letter wns refened to the
committee on transportation to leport
nt the next meeting.
A resolution offered by Colonel Hitch
cock wan adopted endorsing the Torrey
bankruptcy bill, lust passed tho house
of representatives. The resolution pro
vided for a transmission of tho board's
resolution to Senator Quay.
The following letter from the Nation
al Bonn! of Trade was read:
Philadelphia, Pa.. Feb. 3, 18!tS.
D. II. Atherton, Secretary Scranton Board
of Trade, Scranton, Pa.
