The POTTERY INDUSTRY
needs new methods
Secretary Redheld's Department Of
Commerce Urges More Scientific
Ways to Combat the Falling on in
Business

Washington, Feb. 24.-Secretary
Redfield yesterday made public the re-
port of the investigation by the Depart
ment of Commerce into the pottery in.
dustry, begun coincidentally with the
enactment of the present tariff law and
an announcement by the United States
Potters Association that any reductions
in selling prices resulting from reduced
duties "must be followed by CORE
spending reduction in wages.
The tariff reduced duties from SO to
80 per cent. and from 60 to 40 per cent
on undecorated and decorated earthen-
ware, respectively. The report says the
imports of pottery for the first twelve
months of the tariff law increased less
than half million dollars over the last
twelve months of the old law.
The following conclusions are given
as general statements of fact:
''The potters of the United States
are without adequate knowledge of the
costs of production in their own in
dustry. The general level of costs was
considerably higher in the United
States. In fact. the lowest cost of pro-
duction in any American pottery ex-
ceeded that of the highest cost of
production in any European pottery,
except one establishment in Austria
Competitive prices of American
and foreign ware in the United States
are not determined solely by the differ
ence in cost of production at home and
ohr al,
toms duties, transportation charges and
incidental expenses, are sufficient, as
shown in the report to offset the diff
ference in the cost of production.
Sin spite of the fact that the aver
age wages paid in American potteries
in the different occupations are higher
than those paid in Eurpoean potteries
by from 80 to over 500 per cent, the
labor cost per unit Of product never
shows so great difference as SO per
cent. Except in German china plants)
This indicates the greater efficiency of
American workmen.
"The standard list upon which
American potters base their selling
price is obsolete. Complete revision is
necessary before American potters can
lhbOiiiSehtif scii tuciT ware.
"There is distinct need for more
scientific methods of production, which
can be brought about only by highly
skilled instruction and more scientific
research work.
"Finally, this report has aimed to
be constructive in its analysis of the
pottery industry. There are means. and
these have been pointed out, by which
the cost of production may be ma
terially reduced. And these costs must
be reduced. not only that the American
industry may compete with foreign
products brought into this market, but
in order that American products may
compete in foreign markets.
The investigation was made in the
potteries of England, Germany and
Austria and in the United States. in
forty-eight establishments in New Jcr-
sey, Ohio, West Virginia, New York,
Pennsylvania, Indiana and MARYLAND.
The report deals exhaustively with the
mechanical scientific, labor and mar
keting processes connected with the in
dustry.

Blue and Gray.

Members of the Grand Army of the
Republic in Independence. Mo-. have
made the interesting suggestion that
the Grand Army and the United Cen
federate Veterans should celebrate
Memorial Day together. The sugges-
ton is not new one; federal and con-
federate have marched side by side on
Memorial Day before this. But the
suggestion from independence has
more of an official and general character
than has been the case hitherto.
Missouri was one of the border states
in the war. Some of it's people went
into the Confederate Army, some went
into the Union Army, and it was with
struggle that the state was saved for
the Union. In Kentucky conditions
were much the same; in Kentucky
families were divided and son was ar
rayed against father. In both Missouri
and Kentucky it should be easy for
that very reason. for blue and gray to
join on Memorial Day.
But the suggestion is of interest
everywhere. 1t is of special in
terest this year. When so many of the
nations of the world are fighting each
other, it is consoling to discover one
country where there is talk of old
enemies uniting in common service
