Discussion of the defection of in terest in the Commercial club to tho advantage of newer organizations was brought about when President Piper renewec nis recommendation, maclo a year ago, that something be done to I ring about a change. He referred to the large number of minor clubs throughout the city that claim and undoubtedly have allegiance to th.o Commercial club as a parent organiza tion, out that nevertheless are pur suing their various ends ini their own respective ways without special regard to tne preeminent interest and oosi t!on of the Commercial club organiza tion. He declared that these organisations are recruited partly and even largely rrom tne membership of tho Commer cial club. He denied any aspersions upon the clubs or their purposes, but said he was oonstralned to consider the effect of these organisations upon tne future 01 tne parent club. "As the club spirit develops and grows elsewhere rather than here how far will there be weakening of the tie that binds many of their members now to the Commercial club, and how soon will they feel that their first duty lies elsewhere, rather than here?" said Mr. Piper. Commercial Clan Xtoads. The president declared that the back bone of the entire club structure ln Portland is the Commercial club and if it . should be weakened, or broken, the whole would suffer. The president bad just spoken of the constant falling off In revenues of the club, especially in the building. with a very considerable deficit in the restaurant. Although the club emerged from the year with a small not in come and an increased membership list. he pointed out that the restaurant fea ture was so poorly patronised that It was Impossible to maintain a com plete organization when practically the entire revenue to this department came from luncheons alone. ' . The breakfasts - and dinners, he saia. are poony patronized and are served at a positive loss. He said it is more than ever true that tho com petition of tho hotels with tho cjub in serving first class luncheons at low prices nas been leit in the club s re ceipts. Experts have been employed to certain if there has been waate or mis management in the purchase of res taurant supplies, tho reports reassur ing the board that these were being handled in as thorough a way as. the circumstances would permit, oro moTonno ln Signt. Mr. Piper also called attention to tho effort to secure the. government as a tenant for two first-floor rooms ef the club building, with a postof flco substation. whlc would pay a monttr ly rental of 9260. He said Postmaster F. S. Myers had indorsed ,the plan and had sent his recommendation to Wash ington, with tho probable result that the station would be located there with the club building thus made more of a center and more people vfsltln I It. the president felt that ths finances would be enhanced, v Some diversion In the meeting was ..... f Washington.
