New Haven, Conn, May 5 (P— The ruins in a section of the store- house in the railroad yards here which was burned yesterday after- noon were being overhauled today | that the officials of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad might determine the losses in equip- | ment and materials. The estimate last night was that | the monetary loss would exceed $100,000. The section which was en- out of a total length of 1,055 feet and in this electrical material was stored almost entirely. A fire wall stopped the blaze so that other sec- tions were not materially damaged by fire but smoke and water pene- tration was considerable. A section filled with stationery and supplies for offices was untouched. The inquiry as to origin of the fire is going forward. Its spread and intensity for an hour was laid to the wind which was blowing in from the harbor. The damage to houses in the immediate neighborhood was not great except to one two blocks away on which the roof was perforated by brands, Drinks Furniture Polish, Child Goes to Hospital Away from the watchful eyes of his mother for a few minutes, two vear old Peter Constanzo of 119 North street took a hottle of fur- niture polish this afternoon and drank a conslerable quantity hefore being discovered.

Crabb, New Haven. | President Dyson’s Report President Dyson's opening address |to the delegates was as follows: “In presenting my report to you, at this time, of the activities of |our association for the past year, I { will Be very brief in detall. “When I accepted the presidency of the association a year ago, rcalized that there was considerable work ahead to bring the association tup the standard and the level where it belonged. It has been my en- ! deavor to conduct its affairs as eco- | nomically as possible, with the funds at our disposal, which are very in- adequate for the amount of work that is required of your executive officers in order to make your or- ganization effective. “The lack of funds has been a |handicap in doing some of the |things which are very important to | the association for the simple reason that T did not want to bring on any more indebtedness than necessary. Consequently we had to pass up some of the minor activities of the association. One of the important | cuestions that must be considered nd action taken at this convention, |is to devise ways and means of in- creasing our revenues. The men: | bership fea at the prosent time is 1810 per year. TFive dollars of this has to be sent to the National Asso- ciation, which leaves us very little to conduct activities of any kind, let alone roducing our inlebfedness at | is no credit to our cers to have |the bank. Tt | essociation for the off 'to keep asking the bn to rene | the note which we ows. Tt does not Icok well on the face of it, and the | riembers of the association should [reallze that if we want to look weil before the community, our slate {should be clean, and T sincerely hope that you will take some definite : tion at this time for {he purpose of raising revenne cnoughto liqu date our noteat the bank and give the association funds cnough with which to work during the coming |yvear. It 18 the opimen of your | president that the activities, of the | association should not be impaired | through lack of financss. | “The members of the and those who are not should real- lize the fmportance of organization. We have had a very recent forci- ble demonstration of what orgini- fon and cooperation can do, wh a2 crook who had heen operating over the country met his Wate lin Connecticut through cooperation lon the part of the members of the | nssociation. | “There is one very important fac- {tor that rou must bear in mind, and that is when anything of a question- able nature is brought fo your atten- tion in vour community make a personal inspection of these condi- |tions and if you are not able to cope with them locally, they should be re. association ferred immediately to the executive Te- | 1 | officers. I refer to the conditions that were brought to our attention last fall in Norwich and New Lon- don, also to localities where auctions are being conducted. If the mem- bers of the association have not the courage nor the inclination to handle these things locally, especially mem- bers of the executive committee, the least you can do is to let the execu- tive officers know about these con- |ditions and they can be remedicd without anyone heing wiser as to the source of the information obtained. “But we must have your whole- | hearted co-operation, otherwise your jorganization will be unable to func-| tion as it should for the mutuali benefit of its members. What the' i s of Connecticut need is a r and more active association. ' he jeweler who has the impression {that he doesn't need the association |is going to wake up some morning [with a start and realize his mistake. “The thousand and one schemes that are being promoted by unscru- pulous people for the purpose of tak- ing advartage of the public at the expense of the jeweler are innumer- able. I would urge you to read more closely your trade papers. Study them carefully and you will be sur- prised at the amount of constructive information that can be obtained through these papers for your per- sonal benefit. 1 lso T would recommend that| |closer co-operation and communi tion be established between the New ingland associations. I hope that in the near future an executive board can be organized through representa- tives of the several New England or- ganizations for the purpose of stronger cooperation and acti and T would recommend that this part of my report be taken up for {your consideration at this session, as I believe that the time is not far dis- tant when the jewelers of New Eng- land will have to cooperate for their mutual welfare and protection more than they have in the past. “I would also recommend that a copy of the Auction Law be prepar- ed in such manner that it can be hung in a conspicuous place in the store or office of every member of the association. “I would also recommend that ab- acts from our Code of Ethics be arranged in like manner. “I make these recommendations as T have learned to my surprise that there are members of our association who have ncver heard of the Jewel- ers’ Code 0f Ethics nor the auction law. “I sincerely hope that the commit- tee on resolutions will take action on some of the rccommendations in this report, as T feel that they are for the mutual benefit of the state Jewelers' association.” Calls School System Wasteful The public school system is a ter- rific economic waste, according 1o Bartley J. Doyle, Philadelphia mil- lionaire, who spoke at noon today at the joint meeting of the Rotary club and the jewelers' convention. IMr. Doyle has legally adopted 139 and has started them on their way to success in life. One boy, whose mother was stabbed to death in a house of ill repute and whose father went to the electric chair, is now earning $75,000 a vear as the head of a big corporation. In his talk today Mr. Doyle criti- cized the school systems of the country because of their standardi- zation. “The boy is sent to school for the simple reason that he is old| enough,” he said. *“He is thrown into a hopper along with slow boys and swift bo: Bright boys and double dumbbells. Sick boys and well boys. Then somebody turns the crank and they all flow out in the same stream, He said boys should be trained towards the vocations for which they are best fitted and then direct ed in the proper way. He said the laving mother who thinks her boy is the best thing that ever happened and caters to him is 9 times out of ten a liability rather than an asset. |He asked the Rotarians to be pals to thelr sons. Mayor Gardner €. Weld in wel- coming the visiting jewelers called their attention to the fact that they cither wore or carried on their cars some article of merchandise made in New Britain, $4,000,000,000 Diamond Imports ot in all the history of the world have the women of a single nation possessed the jewels as those of the United States,” said H. L. rn of Manchester, N. H. regional president of the American Na- tional Retail Jewelers’ association, this afternoon. “From a recent survey made by the National Jewelers' Publicity as- sociation, the total of diamonds im- rorted to the United States from 1867 to date, a period covering two generations, reveals the stupendous sum of $4,000,000,000. During this period, the value of diamonds has increased more than 500 per cent! and the importation of diamonds in | the last decade equals that of the; previous five decades. “Demonstrating the increase in the last few years, of valuable stones, imports of 1926 excecded that of| 1925 by $10,000,000 with a total of more than $70,000,000 worth, These ts disclose that the amount is| ore than 7 per cent of all the na- | |tional income, estimated in 1923 at 0,000,000, ! | i “It is estimated that more than 100,000 ts of diamonds alone ure held in this country. The dia- Itiond per capita wealth of the |country is now estimated at not less {than $200 per family. “It is a very casy matter,” said Mr. Coburn, “for a woman to adorn | Lerself with jewels that would reach | |4 half willion to one million dol- {lars. With an anklet, a necklace, two bracelets and a diamond studded ndeau, gives proof positive that a | lion dollars’ worth of jewels might be worn and not be conspicu- ous or in bad taste. “Only kings and queens of rone by more ornately rbed them- selves than the American women of fashion and social position. Many extensive Buropean collections of ewcls have heen placed on the American market in recent years and quickly absorbed, and despite the increase in the price of precious stones which this country has ex- perienced in the last 60 years, dia- monds are selling in greater quan- tity to v than ever hefore, This is due largely to the investment as well as the ornamental value, “Pearls also have taken a big | | j but rather with the an wants the real thing and not imitation. This has led to an in- creased demand for the pearl of value. “Diamond: faceted ston: the fair sex of this county, and m their train closely follow pearls, emeralds, rubjes, sapphires and all the stones that have been precious from the beginning of history.” How to Improve Conditions Immediately following the ad- dress of Mr. Dyson and a report of activities during the year made by Secretary Sturman Dyson, the following address on trade condi- tions was made by C. C. Costello of New lLondon: My talk to you today ™ not for the purpose of informing you of anything new in trade conditions, intent of bring- cussion to follow an jose glittering many ing out in i ,exchange of views and opinions as| to what methods should be employ< jed that will be of material advan- | | tage to bettering conditions in the | | jewelry industry. You are all prac-| s well as. business men, | tical men, and are as familiar with conditions as I am, and often hear the much repeated question, ‘What is wrong with the retail jewelry business?’ In my opinion the fault is not with the business itself but rather with the jewclers themselves. When you stop and think, of the large number of high class retail jewelry stores that are not members of their state assocation who are perfectly willing to reccive all the benefits of the tax reduction, and who only recently were saved hundreds of dotlars through the efforts of President Dyson and his son, secrotary of the ociation, in notifying all of the jewelers of the state of the clever swindler who among us, by broadcasting to them at the expense of the association. Then again there are members of the association who do not take thelr membership seri- ously enough to help themselves, You will find' men paying dues and giving of their time and services to clubs and lodges who will not give hardly a minute of that time to an association work, which is really a benefit for themselves and in their own business. “In the case of the watch manu- facturers however we were not able inasmuch as -wivilian and govern- ment employees of the local Navy Base are able to huy well known American made watches and jew elry through jobbing concerns, and in some cases the price paid is less than what we are able to buy these articles for. We also know of cases where the office help in factories located here are able to buy through the purchasing department, watches and diamonds at cost. This is unfair to the local jewelers, who are help- less to prevent them, unless they impress vpon the minds of the job. bers and manufacturers, who sell to people that are in no way connected with the jewelry industry, the un- fairness and the uncthical detrl- mental practice, “The manufacturer, jobber and retailer, each have their own place in industry, and it should be the work of each jeweler through his association to bring about a con- dition that is absolutely fair to all the intercsted partics. In our city we find the drug stores with their counters covered with alarm clock fountain pens, belt buckles, Walde mar chains, wrist watches and numerous other articles of mer- chandise which were formerly con- sidered to be strictly the merchan- dise of the jeweler. We find cloth- ing stores, department stores, hard- wave stores, millinery stores, croc ery stores, newsstands, in fact nearly ery other line of retailing is going into the jewelry business but for- ’hmn!l-ly or unfortunately the jewel. er cannot put in a stock of drugs and hats, and the other lines to compete with the people who are now competing with him. “I make thesc statements to call to your attention these. facts, but at the same time I want to give full credit to those manufacturers, business on a very high level of ethical practice, and the retailers should e mindful of this fact when they are buying their merchandise. Good houses send out good lin represented by good fellows who quote good prices, and while we would like to do business with every one, at the same time the jeweler he owes to those members of the in- dustry who are trying to assist him in the proper conduct of his busi- ness, “It has been brought to my atten- are the favorites of | to compete with the prices quoted, | and wholesalers, who conduct their | should be mindful of the obligation | (tion that in other cities there are mployes of factories who conduct gift shops in their homes and sell | the product of these factorics at less than the suggested or established retail prices. If this is true, and my statement is based on the assump- tion that it is, then the fault lies with the local jeweler if he does not notify the factory, and I am sure the manufacturer would cooperate with him to adjust an unpleasant situation in the town or city. It is the lack of interest on the part of the jeweler that is to blame if these practices continue. “In other localties silver plated | sets, both flat and hollow ware, arc | sold from house to house on the in- ! stallment plan by persons not in th welry business, and prices { quoted much higher than the rezu |lar jewelry store quote, and repie | sentation is made that the price i {lower than the jewelry store. Thi | condition existed in Norwich and lo | cality, and through the efforts of : live jeweler the attention | brought to the manufacturer whe sold the goods, and who took steps of the {to curtail the distribution | silver. | *“I notice the policy of some of "the large manufacturers is to sell |the retail jeweler exclusively, and provide a line of fine merchandisc | on which he can be safely confident |that there is a minimum of unde- | sirable competition, and a maximum |of opportunity to sell with full and i unhampered profit, and to furnish |a service that pledges a definite use- ulness to the retail jeweler. If a {policy like that is fully carried ont it is obligatory on the part of the eweler to cooperate With the manu- facturer and in s where there is an established price or suggested re- sale prices, that hefore the retailer ells at a lower figure - he should {first notify the manufacturer of his desire to reduce his stock and act {on the advice or suggestion of the manufacturer. For if the feweler | wants protection in maintaining { prices he must wotk with the whoic- | saler in the maintenance of thos: rices. 1In the case of some pleces | of merchandise that have not moved | perhaps the manufacturer can sug |gest some method that does not llower the prices and cause feeling |and friction among the other jew- clers in the trade. “Another matter brought to my at- tention is that auctions have been onducted in Connecticut in & few I places after 6 o'clock in the eve- |ning. State law provides that no auctions can be held legally in the evening and it is the duty of the jewelers in the diferent cities to call the attention of the prosecuting at- |torney to this fact and have him |take proper action according to law. !One jeweler states that the state | police advised him that the auction Lill is 8o full of holes that it doesn't {do much good, but I do not give | that opinion of the policeman much ithough!. as I think the persons best i qualified to pass judgment on the | merits of the law are two capahle | jurists who compiled the bill, At torney John Buckley, United States district attorney, and Attorncy Ale Greedon, former judge, Hartrord |city court. But regardless of how [effective 2 law is on the statut: | hooks, if the average jeweler 1 not got backbone enough to com I plain to the local prosecutor whe: he knows a violation of the law taking place that is detrimental Lis business, you cannot blame the |law.” | s e 1o |General Motors Sales | 385,703 Cars in 3 Months New York, May 5 (UP)—The Gen- al Motors Corporation sold 385 03 vehicles the first three months lof this year, an increase of more than 100,000 over the first 1826 quarter, the corporation’s quarterly (report said today. i nings the first quarter wers $5.80 a common share of stock, the |report said. f IRL IS ACCUSED New Haven, Conn., May 5 (P—.A i continuance was given in city court today until Ma; 3 to Miss Gertruds | anning, bookkeeper for a local music selling concern who was ar- rested yesterday because of alleg:- | tion that an audit of her accounts | showed a shortage of hetween $300 |and $600.
