Thirty-seven Sections disbanded; seventeen temporarily suspended activities; while but nineteen are still active. Only one new section has been formed in the last two years. An amendment to the Constitution to provide for a limited class of membership in Company Sections and to afford a more dignified status for Class B members is advocated. A large number of active Sections is the present need. Dragnet methods of soliciting membership should be abandoned and Association membership should be allowed to stand on its own merits. Tendency to form local employees' clubs should be offset by more liberal provisions for membership in Company Sections. Sub-committees for the assistance of Company Section officials have been organized. An engraved charter which will be sent to both new and old Sections is in preparation.

It calls attention to the fact that the Commissions are much more responsive to representations made by the citizens of their respective States than to those made by representatives of an association composed largely of citizens of other States, and urges that the companies of each State actively interest themselves in this matter if they desire relief. 302 |
