REJECTION Of ALL
HUNMADE TOYS
URGED BY FIRMS
Big Firm Of New York Turns
Back Huge Shipment Pur-
chased Before War-WiII
Push American Goods.

Ever widening rippics Of Indignation
are spreading as Il result OF tho an"
ncuncement that a shipload OF German
made toys had arrived on the New Am
stordam. The names Of seven con-
signecs have been announced. and II
of these, Butler Bros, has refused TO
accept the goods.
The Toy Manufacturers of the L. S.
A. an association Of toy manufacturers,
met at the Hotel McAlpin recently and
adopted resolutions approving the at
tltude OF Butler Bros.
1t Is the opinion Of Fletcher d. Dodge.
secretary of the association, that this
shipment is an attempt to feel out the
sentiment Of the American people, in
order that Germany may know how to
push her trade when peace Is de-
Clured.
1t was pointed out Saturday by a
mar prominent in toy circles, that all
through the war. n toy retailer, who
is admittedly one oC the leaders in his
lines. has been selling goods of German
origin. This man, It IL said, had Il
large stock of German made products
when America entered the war. and
probably acted as Il channel through
which homo importers, caught with n
large amount Of German-made toys.
which they could not dispose Of, cleared
out their surplus stocks, 1t IL said that
he has put in an eager bid for a share
Of the consignment Just arrived.
Walter Scott, viCe-nresident OF Butler
Bros made the following statement:
1--WE have refused to accept the ship
ment of German-made toys and china
which has come to us from Holland
without notloc-though these goods
were bought and paid for prior to the
declaration " war. and are our prop
erty. We will have 10 German-made
goods in our stock.
FOR many years prior to 1914, But
Ter Bros, like many other jobbeTs In
this country, imported toys and china
made In Germany and Austria.
I'm the spring OF 1914. prior to the
declaration OF war, we made our usuaI
annual purchase OF toys and china in
Germany for our five houses. paid for
the goods, an was our custom, and had
them forwarded to Rotterdam in tho
spring Of that year for ocean trans
portAtion.
"Our total purchase that year
amounted to a considerable volume. A

number Of cases containing our mer-
ChandiSe reached us and a great many
other cases containing our property
were held in Rotterdam. 1t was i'm
possible for us to move them because
Of war conditions.
Long ago we eliminated these goods
from our catalog, charged them Off our
books, accepted our loss n forgot all
about them,
we were surprised this week to
learn that l09 cases containing Ger
man toys II china consigned TO US,
had been received at this port, via
Holland American line.
These goods were shipped without
any instructions whatever from US.
1--WE have, therefore. notified the
government, through the proper chan
nelR-the custom house offlCinls-that
ment and will not accept delivery OF
its own merchandise.
I'VE feel hat Germany's willingness
to permit these goods to come safely
to us IL prompted by a desire to rS%
habilitate herself in this market.
Butler Bros. have set themselves
against the German propaganda de-
signed to rointroduoe into America
GermAn-made toys and china.
We have encouraged American
manufacturers for the past several
years to manufacture goods to replace
those formerly imported from Ger
many.
American manufacturers have sue.
ceeded 30 we'll that today America does
not need German-made goods. and But
Ter Bros. win In no way encourage the
German propaganda designed to place
G|erman-mAde goods back in the Amer
lean market,
Butler Bros. feel that tho American
children should have American-mads
TOYS, They are, therefore. willing to
accept any loss which may be occaB-
toned by their refusal OF this shipment,
because they feel it will help to keep
Gorman-made goOds out of this a
ket,"
