For Gardens

The City Gardens Club believes
all these things, and believes further
that since Cleveland and Baltimore

New-York tribune., 1919-08-03
Women Are Called to the Colors
to SaUe an American
Industry

to kill, if possible, the American
dye trade.
Former Ambassador Gerard is re-
sponsible for the statement that
whatever happened Germany would
never rclinquish her supremacy in
two industries--her shipping and
her dycstuffs. We all know what
happened to her shipping; now let
US see what we can do about the
dyes.
You remember the hue and cry
that went up from our manufact
urers when the British blockade
first made trade with Germany i'm
possible, so that they could no longer
procure the German dyes, and you
remember how the Deutschland, at
her peril, ran that blockade with a
cargo Of dyestuffs. Those dyes were
the last of their kind to be brought
into this country. Since then we
have developed an enormous indus
try that makes us independent Of
Germany, if we wish, for all time to
come.
The Germans weren't bit wor-
rled at first over our "attempt' to
manufacture dyestuffs. In the frs
place they said we couldn't make
the intermediate" from which the
dyes are produced. Our chemists
set to work and toiled night and
day until they produced these.
"All very WE'LL" said Germany.
"but they can't make dyes without
potash, and we control all the pot
ash in the world, except that in
their own country, which is being
used by the government"
"Watch US" replied the American
chemists, and they began to gather
III the kelp from the Pacific Coast,
from which they obtained all the
potash they needed.
And even then Germany was not
afraid, for the secrets Of the pro
duction of fast color5 were still
hers, and she couldn't believe that
our chemists had the skill to dis
cover them; but, mark you, in two
years our American chemists have
succeeded in producing the self
same coiors which it took the Ger
mans thirty wears to produce.

complainant, and the sa1espeople
who made this excuse were quite
innocent of any deception.
A Fast Blue Cost $845, 900,
But We Have 1t
But this is all past history. Our
American chemists to-day are MAX
ing nearly all the colors which were
formerly imported from Germany,
and inside Of year they will have
completed the list. This is a great
triumph, which has been accom-
plished by unremitting toil-tho
chemists in the great laboratories
have worked in two shifts night and
day-and' at an enormous expense
Just as an example of the cost Of
making only one color, let US cite
the case of the latest important
color to be put on the market,
known to the dye trade as SAliza-
rine Sapphire" fast blue for
woollen materials. After months
and months of experimenting the
National Aniline and Chemical
Company has produced this color
at an expenditure of $S45, 900
Good American dollars used to per-
feet good American industry, and
it is up to the good American
women to see that it does not 90 for
naught. Bear this in mind when
you buy your new fall suit: you
need no longer be afraid of
pauves or blues or puppies or
taupes. Goods in these colors will
rot fade a bit more than those
which you bought in pre-war days
and which were dyed with the
famous German fast coIors.
The only colors of which you
need still be bit wary are some in
cotton goods which will have to
stand the test of laundering. It is
on these C"vat dyes" is their tech
nical nanfe) that the chemists are
concentrating their efforts Just at
present.
All sorts of efforts are being
made through legislation to protect
the American dye industry. Repre-
sentative Nicholas Longworth has
bill now before Congress which aims
to raise the tariff on imported dyes,
and vigorous endeavors are being
made to license for a stated time
the sale of certain dyes which as
yet have not been perfected in this
country. A commission consisting
Of five manufacturers of dyestuffs,
five consumers and several govern
.ment experts is at present at work
checking up the amount of dyes
which it is necessary to import un-
til such time as our chemists shall
have completed their list of colors.

Commercial Propaganda
Against American Dyes

As for the assertion that we shall
soon be using "the good, old, fast
German colors again." am not so
sure about that, for tremendous
pressure is being brought to bear
al the present moment to keep said
colors out of our market. Why,
do you ask? Because the American
dyes that are being manufactured
today right here in this country
from coal tar produced on our own
premises are just exactly as good
in color and durability as any that
are made in Germany"
The making of dyestuffs is brand
new industry in this country, and
one of which the Germans are ex-
.tremely jealous, for up to five years
ago Germany furnished four-fifths
of the dyestuffs of the world. They
have therefore TUNED loose all the
walls of their insidious propaganda
