AMERICAN COMMERCE KINGS GREAT CONFERENCE CLOSES [By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright] Received Dec 6, 11 p.m. WASHINGTON Dec. 5. Over 400 leading representatives of industry, finance, trade and commerce who are meeting to devise a means for carrying out Mr Hoover's effort to stimulate and stabilise business, concluded their labours by appointing 72 outstanding members in the business world to begin the task of organising an executive committee which will be the nucleus of a continuing economic council designed to keep a w'atchful eye on economic conditions and the present depression, such as was coincident with and followed in the wake of the recent stock market crash.
The names of those who will comprise such council, and the scope and character of their work, will not be announced for several days.
The body of men composing the conference, who represented billions of dollars in corporate and individual wealth, was described as the “greatest cross section of American industry ever gathered together.’>
