"The intermediating committee ot the Meichants' t vchangc. the Mami» ;<■ .ivtoriation, and Employers' association have at no time regarded with approval,' says Chilberg, "the suggestion that ol ticers be elected directly In the membership, nor the accompanying suggestion that the small number ot members in attendance at any meeting be privileged to commit the entire membership to any course of action." Well, it isn't to be wondered that the Manufacturers' association and some more ot those fellows are against giving the ordinary little member a vote. But it IS surprising to see them lay their cards down on the table! More of the Weil-Known Bunk From Grandma REPUBLICAN congressmen fought yesterday to get the $2,000,000 Maska railroad appropriation knocked out of the committee report to the house. And along comes old Grandma Grouch today with a lot of apologetic editorial slobber, and asserts the folks at Washington are burying their partisan feelings and working together for the good of Alaska and the prosperity ot Seattle.
