Committee Will
At Full Swing
A committee representing Salem
industries and labor assigned the
task .of maintaining capacity, ope
ration of the present plants with
out unnecessary interference was
named Monday night by R. L.
Elfstrom, chairman of the cham
ber of commerce Industrial com
mittee, at a meeting of represen
tatives of the industrial establish
merits.
Elfstrom said that the commit
tee would cooperate with the city
council in every respect and would
rreet with a similar committee
which was authorized by the city
council to be named by Mayor
-1. M. Doughton.
Those at the meeting were told
- that a pending court action op
posing certain rail transportation
' facilities of industries along Front
street already has given Salem
unfavorable publicity, and that at
least one new industrial project
had been abandoned because of
it. Elfstrom In calling the meeting
to order, stated the purpose ef the
session was as follows:
i "It is the aim of the chamber
of commerce and its industrial
committee to keep our present in
dustries wording at 100 per cent
rapacity without unnecessary in
terference. : ."The chamber of commerce,
through Its industrial committee,
stands ready and willing to assist
the industries which are now lo
cated in Salem. We further "feel
that it is necessary that the cham
ber protects our present indus
tries, and cooperates with them to
the extent that they shall be satis
fied before new enterprises shall
be considered.
