Tho organization Is less than a year old now, but It has grown to a membership representative of nearly every city of any size In the United States. Its purpose Is to mobilize the forces of industry and support or oppose national Issues that effect In dustry and' commerce. 'The present organization of a na tional Chamber of Commerce represents our third attempt," said President Wheeler, "A study of the previous ef forts to unify American business Interests disclosed that they were largely con fined to the Atlantic 'seaboard and Hhe territory east of the Rocky mountains. The Impression came to prevail that the far west had-vnot been seriously con sidered on the part of such organizations. "The Chamber of Commerce of the United States at the very Inception en deavored to emphasize the difference between Its oolicy 1imt tho apparent' policies of. jts predecessors.' It elected three directors from the Pacific coast, has kept In conttant touch with coast associations, and In proof of the fact that ths Importance of the co-operatlon df the Transmlssissippi territory is thor thoroughly recognized, now holds Its July meeting In San Francisco."
