Mr. Dennett. That is right.
Mr. Tavenner. As a result of that action did you say a convention was held?
Mr. Dennett. A convention of the Commonwealth Builders was held, which changed the name to Washington Commonwealth Federation.
(At this point Representative Harold H. Velde left the hearing room.)
Mr. Dennett. Because of that affiliation of whole organizations which were not geographical in nature—take a labor union: It was not geographical in nature; it was a complete affiliate without having geographical definition whereas a Democratic club in a particular district or a particular part of the city was restricted to a particular area.
I say the federation part became a necessary part of the title because of the nature of the changed affiliations.
Mr. Tavenner. Before the name was changed what was the title?
Mr. Dennett. Commonwealth Builders.
Mr. Tavenner. In other words, it was a conversion of Commonwealth Builders into an overall organization.
Mr. Dennett. It was.
