To TALK RECIPROCITY
MANUFACTURERS TO HOLD CON-
vENTION NOV. 10.
WILL MEET AT THE CAPITAL.
COMMITTEE MEETS AND ISSUES. A
GENERAL CALL.

Meeting Will BE Confined strictly to
Manufacturers and Is Expected to
Last Three Days-The Idea Is 10
Get Consensus of Opinion as to
How to Broaden the American
Markets without Injuring the
Protected Industries in Order to
Suggest Legislation and other
Means of Accomplishing This Pur-
pose.
Philadelphia, Oct. 1S-The Commit
tee on Arrangements of the National
Manufacturers Association met here
to-day to perfect arrangements for
the holding of a national reciprocity
convention, which was first proposed
at the annual meeting of the National
Association in Detroit. 1t was decid-
ed to hold the convention at Washing
ton beginning Nov. 10. The conven-.
ton will probably last three days.
President Teodore c. Search Of the
Manufacturers Association presided
at the meeting, which was attended
by thirty prominent manufacturers
from various parts of the
country. Mr.. Search addressed
the meeting at some length,
referring to the widespread interest in
the proposed convention and emphasize
ing the necessity of preventing it's di-
version, to purposes other than those
originally intended. He made it very
clear at the start that it was not to be
a promiscuous or disorganized mass
meeting. but a thoroughly organized
convention of properly accredited del
egates representing exclusively the
manufacturing interests of the coun-
try.
Following Mr.. Search's address there
was general discussion regarding the
details of the convention, at the con
clusion of which a call was adopted
| by the committee.
Object of the conferences.
THE sole purpose of this conference
is to discuss the expediency and prac-
ticability of the broader applications
of the principles of commercial reciproc-
ity as means of expanding foreign
markets for American products, with
out sacrificing the interests of any of
our industries. The object of this con-
vention is to ascertain accurately the
| views of representative manufacturers
on this subject and formulate, if pos
sible, some practical suggestions for
such legislation or diplomatic negotia-
tions as may be necessary to establish
more intimate commercial relations be-
tween the United States and other ma
tons"
