THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1922 CHAMBER D RES mm R ACTIVITY ! Every Man, Woman and Child in Portland Should See This Picture On Exhibition, Second Floor Activity of persons opposed to the resolution adopted last .week by directors of the Chamber of Commerce expressing conclusions on the unmerger of the Southern and Central Pacific properties again became marked yesterday when pe titions were circulated for -signatures to a statement promulgated by the special railroad committee of the chamber and submitted some time ago. This report ws not ap proved by the directors who made an entirely different finding. It was common knowledge that agents acting for the Union Pacific company are besieging local busi ness men for their signatures. The contention between the Southern and Union Pacific for possession of the Central Pacific property was not allayed when the directors of the chamber reached their decision with adoption of the latest resolu tion on the subject. Fltcht Expected to Continue. While this was satisfactory to the Southern Pacific, since the report of the special chamber committee had declared for dismemberment of the Southern and Central Pacific, which the directors did not indorse, the Union Pacific protagonists found in -the directors' action that they were losing ground in the con tention and wished to have the spe cial committee report reaffirmed. Directors of the chamber had hoped that the controversy over the unmerger that has raged for weeks throughout the state would be quieted, so far as Portland is con cerned, when the report was made. But this belief has proved vain and it appeared yesterday the fight is likely to go on. Controversy 1m Deplored. That such a situation is deplored, and regarded ' by officials of the chamber as likely to cause harm to that organization, since bitter feeling has been aroused and hos tility developed by the unmerger fight was evident in a separate resolution adopted by the directors last week when the unmerger stand was taken. This was in answer to a request for a referendum vote by members of the chamber, asked with a view of supporting the re port of the special unmerger com mittee. The resolution referred to the wisdom of allaying the contro versy and was as follows: Wlieras, questions arising from the supreme court decision on the unmerg ing of the Southern and Central Pacific have been under consideration for ap proximately five months by the. beard of directors of the chamber at' many HIecial and Tegular meetings and through various nperial committees, and Whereas, the board has, by a sub tantial majority, adopted a resolution expressing its conclusions,' and Whereas, owing to extensive propa ganda carried on by the parties most directly affected by this question there has arisen more or less controversy which, if continued, might result in serious detriment to the Chamber of Commerce and its Usefulness in de veloping the best interests of the state of Oregon, and Whereas, it has been recommended to the board that the matter be decided by a referendum vote of the members of the chamber; therefore be it Resolved. That it is the sense of this board that the interests of the chamber will be best served by avoiding the possibility of further agitation and propaganda inevitable to a campaign in connection with a referendum vote, and that we respectfully decline the re quests for referendum and ask that such request be withdrawn.
