i " BAGHS UP HOOVER But Dmis Workers in A, 1. C. Plasis Are Coorord ‘Enormous prosperity has come to New Britain through the benefits af the protective tariff, George T. Kim- ! -ball, president of the American Hardware Corp., told more than 600 enthusiastic listeners who filled the Central Junior High schoel last night at the most successful repub- lican rally held in this city during the present campaign. Denying that this republican form of tariff was a *“cold-blooded liold-up” as he said the democrats charge, Mr. Kimball produced figures to show that the wealth and welfare of New Britain | have increased tremendously during the past seven and one-half years of republican rule. His audience | was feverishly enthusiastic and con- stantly interrupted him with loud and prolonged bursts of applause. | Mr. Kimball also denied that em- | ployes of the American Hardware Corp. have been coerced into sup- porting Hoover and said that no workman had been or would be . “discriminated agaipst because of | political opinion or religious creed.” | Mr, Kimball's address took the form of a personal statement. After claiming that a person who had grown up in New Britain industry and put all his work into it. so that all his future hopes depended upon it, should be qualified to form a serious opinion of this matter, Mr. Kimball added that if he should “fail” to make known that opinion and some reasons for. his conclu- sions, he has failed in the full per- | formance of his duty toward the employes, stockholders, management and sale of the products of that concern,” He then continued as fol- lows: Denies Discrimination | “On November 6 those interested in this industry will go to the polls, ‘with the facts that have been placed before them in mind, with their convietions as to what is best for themselves, for their city, their state and their country; they will 80 behind the curtains of the vot- ing machines, and alone With their consciences and with their respon- aibllities, they will vote, and no one will ever know how or for whom each one has voted. “Even it we should happen to know the opinions” of those in any ‘Wway connected with our business, I make this statement without any reservation whatever: 8o far as I know, no employe of the American Hardware corporation has ever been discriminated against because of his religious belief or party af- fillation; no employe of the Ameri- can Hardware corporation, »é long a8 the present management is in control, will ever be discriminated against because of his political opin- ion or religlous creed. If my com- mang of the ‘English language could make this any stronger or plainer I would do so. “I belleve it to.be to the best in- terest of our industry and all con- nected with it that the present gov- ernmental policies should be con- tinuy By that I mean the policy of maintenance of a protective tarif. I belleve that the mainte- nance of that policy can best be en- trusted to the party that has always believed in and sustained a protec- tive tariff rather than the party that has heretofore opposed it and now comed before ug admiltting that it has always been: wrong and is mow eonverted, and which asks us to belleve that a leopard can change its spots and the tiger his stripes. “Both parties are committed to & tarift revision. The republican par- ty has promised that additional pro- tection will be given where needed: the democrstic party to such changes as will allow effective com- petition. This last can only mean competition of American labor and busigess, at the going rate of wages, with the European and Asiatic la- bor gt their going ratps of wages. Unemployment in Europe “With ever half a million wholly unemployed in Germany; with over 1,300,000 registered unemployed in Great Britain, what chance can thers be In an increase in the rates abroed! There are seven lock-mak- ing eoncerns near Birmingham in England; thes) are more than twen- ty lock-makers in and about Vel- bert in the Rhineland. If our tar- iff barrier were broken down in the slightest degree, I ask what chance would the Connecticut lock indus- try have against the low cost of Furopean labor? What chance would we have of marketing our Jproduct, and the product of your efforts, without disaster? The lock- making industry in Connecticut alone pays out in taxes each year approximately a million and a half of dollars. There is no foreign eqquivalent of this charge. Where can we get the money to pay our taxes and our payrolls i foreign goods are admitted in effective com- petition with our own? “There 15 some small amount of unemployment in New Britain.
