That Is a real spirit of hospitality. We really are glad to have people come here and we are a bit anxious, while they are here, to con duct ourselves in such a way that they wiU want to come back to us. In fact, we are taking new pride In our growing constituency of what I'will call our really Greater Cleveland.

If a doubt ever existed as, to the value of this. /magazine, that doubt has been dissipated. When the magazine Is sent : regularly by a painter or by a dealer to a good list, of home owners It One of the limitations Is the esparto point of view: hia message may be dis counted to a certain extent because every . body knows that he has something in par* tlcular to sell. /That is one of the dis advantages,. -one j. of the limitations.

For the past several years Save the Surface Campaign, has Issued a co- operative calendar which has. been merchandised by means of a thousand, dollar prize contest. Like the-magazine, this calendar Is helping, mightily. in the educational work we are carrying on. And also like the. magazine, : a larger circulation for the calendar is very desirable. - It should be stated he're-'that'while .Save the Surface Campaign has entire jurisdiction over both-the magazine and the calendar,1 neither of these "tools" cost the campaign any money, as the publishers are respon sible for all costs. Including prize contest money. . ' . . . '1 . : Market Surveys. It is part, of the Save the Surface Campaign work to develop new markets.

We are proud of Its great and unprecedented growth--both materially and In world-wide In fluence. We are proud of Its enviable reputa tion among the nations, for fair aiid Just deal ings. We are proud that It has never waged war to acquire new territories, nor for other material gain. We are proud that the Presi dent of the United States could and did say-- when we entered the great World War--that we went in with open hands and would come out with empty one. Of all these things and many others we are proud and have a right to be, . the taxes' others are obliged to pay and pass along to the public, . . It might be Interesting, to the members of our industry, and I would suggest that they,' for their own information, determine--the amount of taxeB of all kinds (Federal, state and local) which they pay annually, and- see what percentage relation the total bears to the amount which they pay to their stock- holders annually by way of dividends, and also to their annual pay roll, I am Inclined to believe that every member of the industry- will find a comparison of this kind interest ing, If indeed the amount of taxes so paid, in its relation:' to annual dividends and annual pay roll. Is not surprisingly large. The question of the adjustment of Inter national obligations, resulting from the World War, is an exceedingly Important one, requir ing firmness of purpose and a long visioned view Into the future on the part of our na tional authorities dealing with It. It Is* evi dent ' that a real Improvement In European conditions depends upon the adjustment of the war debts on a basis which while fair to the creditor, shall be such .that each nation debtor can reasonably undertake to work It out, As business men, we realize when deal ing with a debtor it la much better to adjust his affairs In a way which will permit him to continue to exist, rather than to force him Into bankruptcy--provided, of course, there Is no evidence of dishonesty or fraud, vlt la greatlydf?datded Sto--rou, afr06/!! r" con1! ilSSfwSesS wm the secretary read those roBolmtonTf Tripled Volume Proposed on?6,,11 1*erel>Jr resolved, That tha Pnt,,, atlhnaueVIatsrnirsahteinodluSstrwy aex"ethrt 2tt?lnlwt tJoLS?51` a-5KS5?W,A,SS"sfi: ttoe industry by 1931, SB,, triple r.lFS?eiS-'WsSfThm0V6, fta adl>tIon. qr/l motlS*Tn was seconded and carried ) iSSsOtj&asKAss.'t cbarmapnaicgnhthone fth?aodeb 8 ^Psa^vvetdhe fSour rfaecaech" President Peters:--I don't know how many Somerses there may be left in Brooklyn, but.I know .we all wish that many more of: them would be transferred to Washington.

Paint-Varnish Trade Opportunities Abroad By Maximilian Toch I haven't any get speech, and the fact: that I have been selected for this address {if It can he called an. address) Is primarily due to the statement made that I have at least been beyond the confines of Hoboken.

Furthermore, the spirit of "fair play," which 1& a characteristic of the American people, cannot hut approve and urge that such matters he settled by means of proper arbitration, and It Is to be hoped that the day is not far distant when this method of adjusting differences between em ployers and employees, differences which can not be settled fairly between themselves--will become a firmly established and accepted prac tice, and that pending such arbitration' there shall be no. cessation of work--thereby pre venting the possibility of distress of suffering on the part of the public as a whole, Human Relations Are Paramount The whole question of Industrial relations la an Important one to the welfare of any nation, especially' one of such Industrial mag nitude as our own.

At the last session of Congress, through the- elfortB of the Allied Trades Advisory Committee, and with the help of some, of the Senators, who realized the importance of. alcohol . in the. various Industries, the Cramton Bill was' beaten. ; ' ' ' ,.' ' , Since Congress. adjourned, the general plan of enforcing'the'Vol stead Act has been changed, and also some of the regulations relat ing to . the use of industrial alcohol have' been modified, so that the general opinion is there will be less difficulty Ip securing an adequate supply of non-beverage alcohol. The change in the general plan of enforcement, of dividing the coun try into districts- -and obliterating State lines, while in a' few' localities may seem to be more troublesome, as a general plan' I believe it `Will work out to the benefit of: all industries Using either pure or denatured The following Is a schedule of brushes which are to be considered as= Regular--other sizes will, after , the adoption of the schedule, be con sidered as. special or "made to order brushes;" | NOTE--It' Should be, understood that this Simplification Program doesnot contemplate specifications of the quality or jhe quantity.of the bristle used.

Your Chairman reports that the Varnish Group hjas experienced un usually favorable conditions during the past twelve months. This is due to healthy business conditions, causing a satisfactory demand for varnish, stimulated by the ``Save the Surface" and the "Clean Up and Paint Up" Campaigns, as well as by the. constructive work of the Flax Development Committee and the American Tung Oil Corporation of Gainesville, Fla., the former influencing the planting of increased acreage of flax, the latter creating a restraining effect upon the merchants of China Wood Oil, both resulting In the stabilizing of linseed and China Wood Oils as important raw material^ used by the varnish maker. - Attention is especially addressed to the continued development ox .- PAINT - - . ttltro-cellulose' lacquer products. - Many manufacturers have built and Your Chairman reports that the year Just closed' has been a very prosperous one for the Paint Group, due to volume and satisfactory con ditions. Further reports that the outlook is most encouraging for continued volume production and Increased consumption. The following statistics on production, of paints are taken from the reports of the Department of Commerce, and have been figured Into percent per gallon per capita, through courtesy of Bureau of the Census : who furnished yearly Increase In population, and other data necessary:-- equipped hew plants, while others have made necessary alterations and extensions during the year- to provide necessary facilities for the manu facture of these products. It Is apparent that the Industry realizes that, lacquer, products for certain purposes perform the same functions as do Tarnishes and enamels -and is,. accordingly, adapting itself to the ac ceptance of lacquers as a component part of the varnish industry. The manufacture of lacquer Is' highly technical and requires constant research work and. laboratory control but offers the same possibilities for original research accomplishment as does the manufacture of varnish .Paste Paints .

The recent Introduction, of lacquer coatings, for example, is one new field for such use. The result has been that considerable Information Is being requested of our Trade Mark Bureau by members or their lawyers, the latter an Interesting recognition of the Bureau's records. In addition to considerable of the Secretary's time, the Trade Mark Bureau's work requires practically ail the time of one employee. On the Chairman's ' recent visit to the Sec retary's office, 292' letter inquiries with replies to the same, covering a few months' period, awaited his perusal. The year's total of such inquiries, in addition to some 260 formal Reports and Registrations, gives an idea of our office output. It clearly indicates the value of the Trade Mark Bureau to our members. . Trade Marks for paint and varnish products are now being registered in the U.

The past year has been marked throughout by unusual activity in transportation affairs of major Importance. Service has . been normal; there have been no ' interruptions and the carriers' equipment has ,been adequate for the unprecedented demands of trade and commerce, both Import'..afid domestic. The percent of unserviceable motive power is Bllghtly less than last year. The percent of unserviceable cars Is slightly higher, but the increase In car miles per car.day offsets this deficit, while the net tons per loaded car. was the same as last year, and the traffic density, that is, the net ton miles per mile of road, substantially Increased. This summer and fall the railroads of the country handled more revenue loaded,freight cars than ever before,in their history; The total loaded January 1st to August 1st amounted to 29,228,626 cats or 1,572,851 over the same period of last year. There, was a marked increase in the load-. Ing of manufactures and miscellaneous carload freight , and in lesq-than- carload freight.. , .. . . , .1 . Tho .financial condition of the carriers haB also, greatly Improved over last year except In the Northwest and Central Western Regions, where conditions are extremely bad, the return on the hoof: Investment being only 2.48%, and 3,42% respectively, whereas In the ] Eastern District It was 5.1% and in the Southern District 6.55% for the six months ending June 30, .1925. The rate of return prescribed, by the Interstate Commerce Commission on the tentative valuation suggested by them Is 5J% for the several traffic groups. . The rate of return, of many carriers, particularly those In the Western regions, Is far short of that figure, in fact no group of carriers has thus far reached the prescribed rate.

The system of rate devised by the : Bureau of Explosives .. development, it 1* interesting to note that six W. J. Pitt, chairman o tha traffic committee, made the following report;-- , The committee hereby respectfully submits Its report for the year 1924-5:-- The 'past year has been marked throughout by unusual activity In transportation affairs of major importance. Service has been normal? there have been no Interruptions and the car riers' equipment has been adequate for the un precedented demands of trade and commerce, both Import and domestic. The percent or un serviceable motive power Is slightly less than laat year. The percent of unserviceable cars Is slightly higher, but the Increase in car-miles per car-day offsets this deficit, while the net tons per loaded car'was the same as last year, and the traffic density--that' is, the net tonmiles per mile Of road--substantially increased. This summer and fall the ; railroads of the country handled more revenue loaded freight cars than ever before In their history. ' The total loaded January 1 to August 1 amounted to 29,223,525 cars, or 1,572,851 Over the Bame period of last year. There was a marked in crease in the loading of manufactures and miscellaneous carload freight and in less-than- carload freight. ., .. The financial condition of; the earners has also greatly Improved over last year except in the Northwest and Central "Western regions, where conditions are extremely bad, the return on the book investment being only 2.48 percent and 3:42, respectively, whereas in the Eastern district It was 5.1 percent and in the Southern district 6.55 percent for the six months ended June 30, 1925, The rate of return-prescribed by the interstate Commerce Commission on the tentative valuation suggested by them 5%. percent for the several traffic groups. The rate of return of many carriers, particularly those In the Western regions, Is fat-short or that figure; in fact, no group of camera has thus far reached the prescribed rate, gfloW we give a brief summary for .the United States and the Beveral traffic districts for the first six months ended Juno 80, 1925, versus the same period for 1924, by millions:-- United Eastern; Western Southern commission Is a novel one. The opinion generr ally is that there, will ho no material increase in the grosB revenues. The similarity of;traffic operating and financial- conditions bh--*-Hn4s operating in Southern territory- lends Itself readily to -the adoption of-the mileage system of rates over all carriers as no other section of the country does, and while there was a sharp division .among the shippers for and against such- a system in that territory, it is generally conceded that the plan announced by the commission is. on the.whole, satisfactory to the' majority, of shippers. Tha case is not definitely settled, however, - as the commission has- asked the carriers to analyze the decision and advise If they are prepared to accept it before final order. It will require considerable time for the carriers to decide such a vital question, . Rate? on Linseed, Ctiina Wood, Fish and Vegetable Oils The Interstate Commerce Commission, In - Investigation and Suspension Docket 2125, de cided this important case June 8, 1925, la our favor. It holdB that `'rates proposed on vege table oils, in carloads, between points `In; trunk line territory and from points in trunk one territory -to destinations in oentral territory, found not Justified. Suspended, schedules or dered canceled*" . The traffic committees of our. three national associations have devoted a great deal of time and effort- to prevent unreasonable ana dis criminatory rates being established by the car riers, having combatted every step in the pro- seeding, nines the heglnolns-two yu* Their proposal was to cancel the commodity rates on the oils customarily used in the paint and varnish industry and apply the fifth class... rates (representing Increases as high, aa 45.5 percent, to Important manufacturing points in Central Freight Territory), while cocofttiut. palm and other oils used by the soap industry were to be subject to. the sixth class 4tefl. The present rates from New York and those proposed by the carriers and condemned by the commission are aB follows:*-- " New York Present Proposed by Your committee la glad to1 report Its success In having-the l. C.--C. specifications for iron or steel drums of five-gallon capacity or more changed from 20-gauge to 24-gauge- U. S. standards which became effective December 12, 4924. Under revised specifications' the top, generally considered - the weak point of the container, muet still be of 29-gauge thickness: .This ohange harmonizes with the- drum speci fications of the freight classification and will .enable manufaotturtra - to carry one line of drums for Inflammables and non-inflammables instead of two as heretofore, and a limited supply of 20-gauge covers for inflammable articles. ' .- , Express , ` Borne members report `difficulties experienced in Connection with packing regulations on fric tion top cans of the reinforced .type. Your committee has Induced the American Railway Express Company to revise the rule In the Official Express Classification that -soldering at three points le unnecessary on other than ordinary friction top cans; further, that where -any.type of -friction top can of one quart or less capacity Is used soldering will hot be .required at all but the'.cover of the case should fit down closely to the top of the can, Consolidation of Railway* - . The Interstate Commerce Commission is still '' conducting hearings on the. consolidation plan Prepared by professor Ripley, but nothing de- <finite has developed except the growing belief that compulsory consolidation. Is fraught with such serious -practical and legal obstacles as to render the plan highly questionable. How ever, It demands the strict attention of the shippers- because of the- Important influence for good or evil upon their business and-the transportation facilities now serving them, - Your committee tenders its thank* to the offleerg-and members for the co-operation givenduring the year, which has been more effec tive than In the past and Indicates a realiza tion on the part of our membership -of the' .seriousness of transportation upon- the affairs of the industry. bf . ths directors of the. corporation made % trip tb Florida last month to Inspect the com pany's' operation*, and to attend a directors' meeting at ` Gainesville. These men paid alt of .their own expenses and gave up practically a week of their time as -well in the company's Interest.

We are glad to report that the Sixty-eighth Congress adjourned without passing the law affecting the transportation system. However, the Hoch-Smlth joint resolution, directing the Interstate Commerce Commission to Investigate the rate structures throughout the country has caused much concern to the shipping public. It gives the commission no more authority than it already possesses, and the consensus of opinion among shippers is: that it tended to interfere with the orderly work of the commis sion. It was enacted primarily In the Interest of the agricultural element1 of- our population. -The feeling- among the shippers Is that it should he repealed. In view of the serious plight of the Northwestern I railroads the com mission has instituted proceedings on its own motion to Investigate the irate structures In that section of the country; and combine with It the Inquiry they construed to -be intended by the Hoch-Smlth resolution under Docket 17,000 --Western Rate Structure Investigation-- I.
