L. Faulkner, Allen Shattuck and Howard Stabler, was adopted by the Chamber at today’s Iuncheon meeting without a dissent- ing vote. The report stated that the act providing for the referendum is vague and indefinite, that it asks only for an expression of opinion of | the voters, that the result would not be a mandate to the Legislature, that the subject is highly contro- versial, that it presents no definite issue and that no purpose would be served by the Chamber’s getting on either side of the controversy. No More Phones Another Chamber report today was that the organization would | cease paying for telephone service to the Upper City Float, since the city’s contract with the telephone company allowed it the use of a| number of telephones which would | suffice. Visitors at the luncheon included Duncan Robertson, son of Mr, and Mrs. R. E. Robertson, and Gus Peret, representative of the Peters-Rem- | ington Arms Company, who demon:- | strated a number of disarming tricks. ——r————— Service Gets Away from Nazi Bombs 1 LONDON, July 11.—Robert Ser- vice, famous Alaskan poet, fleeing for the second time from German invaders, arrived today in London with his wife and daughter.
