WEDNBSDAY MARCH 31. 917 - HCHAMBER OF COMMERCE HAS: LARGE PATRIOTIC ASSEMBLY Annual Dinner, Held at Elks’ Honor and Safety of Club, Proves Members Place Country Above Own Personal Happiness. With a gathering estimated at 225 members and guests, comprising a thoroughly representative assemblage, the dnnual dinner of the New Britain Chatiber of Commerce was held last evening in the spacious bznquet hall of New Britain lodge, B. P. O. E. The affair was one that the organization has every reason to feel proud of, every part working out without a flow. The speakers’ list scintillated = with brilliancy on the part of the féw who arose to respond. The hall has never bhefore presented a more gorgeous scene of splendor. Old Glory was every where in evidence, and there is ne. question regarding the patriotism | of the assemblage after the wonderfal demonstrations that accompaniéd the playing of. patriotic anthems, to which the diners rose en masse. The menu arranged by Caterer Fred Bf' G. M. CANDERS. loin was all that could be desired, and the service was excellent. A slight delay was experienced ow- ing to the late arrival of E. Goodwyn Rhett from Charleston, N. C., and af- ter the menrbers had had the oppor- tunity of meeting the guests and clasp- ing their hands, the diners repaired to the hall where the signal was given by Toastmaster G. M. Landers to forget the high cost of living. Governor Holcomb Absent. It was well along toward 9 o'clock ‘'when the eating activities ceased, and: after the perfectos were lighted, Presw ident Landers rese and 'said he had & message to deliver to the assemblage. 1t concerned the absence of Governor Murcus Holcomb, who was expected as one of the invited guests. in a tele~ A. H. ANDREWS. phone conversation with President Landers yesterday afternoon, Governor Holcomb explained that he was tired out by the stress of duties occasioned by the sessions of the general assem- bly and on this account he would not -be.able to be present. Governor Hol- comb said that he had a duty to per- form for the state of Connecticut, which he was going to carry out, and it & situation arises whereby the na- tion needs assistance, he as governor would expect to see every man present Save your dimes and get a Kodak, iBrownie or Premo Camera. .

Barge Canal Military Mendce. ‘When the toastmaster next intro- duced Mayor Quigley, applause that lastéd seéveral minutes greeted the speaker. The city's executive extend- ed his congratulations to the chamber for the excellent showing made at the annual dinner. The speaker said that in the past, he has not always ogreed with the chamber, but he be- | lieved the organization, like the city government, has its own province to work in, and he believed that har- mony can be conducted by both in their efforts for the best interests of the city.. Mayor Quigley facetiously remarked that he was glad that the Chamber of Commerce had been un- able to secure the barge canal to Middletown, for in . times like the present, it would be possible for a U-boat to come up to this city and do considerable damage. He was sorry that Governor Holéomb found it impossible to attend ‘the banquet. Commenting on the recent incen- diary scare in this city, the speaker told of the quick response to his ap- peal for the aid of the militia from the governor, who did not wailt to unwind, the usual red tape attached to such appeals. Later in a discus- sfon with the governor, Mayor Quig- ley thanked him:- and in reply, the Southington statesman, remarked “he hed no use for red tape methods, and there was no use in being boss if one couldn’t give orders occasionally.” in closing, Mayor Quigley appealed to every man to stand by “the man in Washington” who is confronted with a perplexing situation at pres- ent, and who is ‘‘president of all th: people and not of a political party.” Connecticut As Munitions Center. Adjutant General George M. Cole of the Connecticut National Guard, said that while he regretted that Gover- nor Holcomb was unable to attend such a success as the banquet, and that the mayor had said he regretted the fact also, the latter would be E. J. PORTER. doubly regretful that ‘they had called upon him (Cole) as a speaker. The speaker extended to the chamber his congratulations .on the success at- tained in the annual dinner,.and he was thankful for the’ invitation to be a participant. Getting down to the all imporant situation of the present day, the war, General Cole called at- tention to the fact that Connecticut at present is manufacturing about 50 per cent. of all the war munitions in the Uhited “States. “Whether or not war will be de- clared, I cannot say, and neither can you, but I do know that there is no country in Burope today which can afford to send very many men over here It is possible, however, that a submarine might come through Long Island sound and cause much damage to our larger cities.” Without mak- ing any claims about there being very many disloyal citizens in this country, 'General Cole said that there are some that cdh make it mighty unpleasant and create much trouble. He paid a high tribute to the Home Guard, characterizing it as a very good thing. He appealed to all men unable to join the army, to align themselves with the National Guard and said those finding this impossible, should s of the Home Guard.

State President Jones. President E. P. Jones of the Con- necticut Chamber of Commerce was next called upon. He extended con- gratulations and felicitations to the lacal organization for the fine attend- ance and on its success in securing such a noted speaker as President Rhett. Touching on the war situa- tion, President Jones said that after the manner in which the census work was taken up and the formation of a* Home Guard was °affected there was no need to fear that Connecticut was not ready should an emergency arise. Speaking on business con- ditions, the speaker said that every- one is very busy trying to make $2.00 go further than ever before. Years ago, competition was keen among business men, now there {is more co-operation, In alluding fo. the United States Chamber of Commerce, the speaker lauded the organization for' the work it has accomplished, growing from a small beginning to the ¢argest or- ganization of its kind in the world. Glowing tributes were paid by the speaker to Frank H. Johnston, a member of the board of directors of the National Chamber for his untir- ing efforts for the success of the or- ganization, and to Secretary A, H. Andrews of the lacal chamber, who is also secretary of the State Chamber of Commerce. In referring to Mayor Quigley’s re- marks concerning the barge -canal, President Jomes said that he is of the belief that Frank H. Johnston and his associates in the movement have not given up hope of having Major Goethals build it scon, and when it is, completed, Mr. Johnston will see that it is properly armed for protec- tive purposes. President Jones enu- merated some of the things that the State Chamber of Commerce favared, such as a more equal and efficient method of taxation explaining that the National | ’organ{zatlon had appointed a commit- tee of seventeen members to make a study of the movement, and on its report the state of Connecticut will be saved about $5,000. Other measurcs favored are safer travel on highways, better board of health work, pre- paredness and patriotism, and all aims that are for making Connecticut the best state in the union. New Britain Best Ever, President Rhett was extended -‘a warm greeting as he arose at the end of brief introductory remarks from the toastmaster. At the outset he ex- tended his warmest congratulations to ‘the organization for the success the dinner had scored. He had attended many numerous similar gatherings in various cities in the world, but to find a more representative gathering than the members of the New Britain Chamber of Commerce presented has not been his pleasure, the speaker said. Getting dawn at the outset to busi- ness conditions in the country today, President Rhett said that a new spirit is fast coming over the entire business in the . United States. In times, when competition was keen among merchants, many ‘“narrow’” re- marks could be heard on all sides, which tended to show that merchants were all lgoking out for themselves and the iat}-‘i €0-0p mfi? ‘Was un- known stant- ly harrassed thi eu 4 forc g the little fellow ®ut by their actions, but this is fast becoming unheard of, co- aperation being the answer. In the nineteenth century, very lit- tle was héard of combinations or co- operation; many scoffed that su¢h a thing was essential to succéss. ~About this time, wonderful inventions be- gan to appear, such as steam engines, telephones, electricity, etc.,, and at conce the evolution of trade circles be- came evident. The business man readily grasped with his finer fintel- lect the need of co-operation When it was so very evident that competi- tion was destructable. Combination, the speaker said, is all right, when it Is for constructive purposes, but bad when it is against public welfare. Delving {nto Chamber of Commerce work, President Rhett said that as early as 1768, there was such an or- saniZation, but it was not conducted along the lines that the present cham- olden | Headquarters for Spring Gloves COMPLETE ASSORTMENTS IN ALL THE BEST MAKES, Mail Orders Carefully and Promptly Filled.

Individuality rather than co- operation was extensively carried out in the primitive days of chamber of commerce work, Today, however, finds the members of the United States Chamber of Commerce banded together as in a unit with their nu- merous committees at all’ times striv- ing with questions which are deemed helpful for the country, making every city a.good city to live In as well as a good place to do business in. To further show what public spirit will do for a community, President Rhett told of a recent visit to Akron, 0., where he visited the rubber fac- [ tories in that place and was amazed at their vastness. Inquiring of one of the heads of the concern about the first start of these plants, he was informed that the owners of the shops located in Akron, because they felt there was no other city in the country comparable to it. ,Fhus the speaker. said, is a sample, of . what public spirit will accomplish. Prior to' 1911, the business men of the country had no 'representative organization in Washington, to care for the many important questions that are constantly up for considera- tion in congress. Men with the high- est ideals were approached and soon the United States Chamber of ‘Com- merce was formed. The speaker said that it is his firm belief "that the organiszation is the most -democratic in ‘thé country. By means of refer- endums, issued to ‘all chambers in the country, every member -has a voice.in every matter up for consid- eration, and the board of directors is govérned by the voice of the mem< bers. It is a pledge of the National Chamber that nothing shall be asked of Congress that will be considered selfish. In speaking of the rapid growth of the chamber, the speaker paid a glowing tribute to Ex-Presidents ‘Wheeler and Fahey. At the recent annual meeting of the chamber, mne- teen referendums and seven resolu- tions were acted upon. Some of the national issues such as the tariff ques- tion, have been .considered by the chamber and when passed favorably by that body, many scoffed at the chances for its final passage by con- gress. But President Wilson finally signed the bill and named a commis- sion to take up tariff work. Another important measure in which the wis- dom of the United States Chamber of Commerce was sought was the fed- eral trade commission. . The chamber at the present time is deeply inter- ested in the creation of a foreign commerce commission, which will make a study of trade conditions in countries in the eastern hemisphere. Favorable action was given the mer- chant marine, the banking and cur- rency act and universal suffrage, and while the chamber does not claim credit for putting things over, still its members feel that sensible and sound attention is given to such im- portant matters. In reference to the threatened rail- road strike, President Rhett said that a year ago the chamber was asked. to involve itself in the controversy, but it was deemed wise to let the pub- lic decide the matter. P In conclusion, the speaker said that: a new spirit has'been born .in the bus- iness man of today, spirit which has. broadened him and brought happiness, and with a continuation of this spirit the same happiness was bound ta exlp..
