International electrotechnical commission

The International Electrotechnical Commission has been organized as recommended by the Saint Louis Congress in order that a permanent and authoritative body might be called upon to act in determining certain questions that have heretofore been passed upon by international congresses. The selection of a national committee for the United States to cooperate with the commission was delegated to the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the appointments have now been made as follows: Elihu Thomson, Lynn, Mass, president.
