AMERICAN BUSINESS IS SEEKING
GREATER ACCORD In RELATIONS

/ carried. The retailer buys in what Is
described as hand-to-mouth manner.
| The wholesaler no longer carries the
| huge supplies he formerly did. The
| manufacturer operates his factory
only slightly ahead of orders. This
has brought on new complications in
merchandising Old causes of con-

saler, or between wholesaler and re-
taller, have faded. only to be replaced
| by fresh irritationS bred of changed
conditions. The consumer pays the
bill.
More General View Sought.
What Is sought is practical means
| of seeing the other fellows problems.
It's a poor line of business and
industry in the United States which
does not have it's trade association.
But these are related groups Shoe
manufacturers, for instance, have
their trade association; shoe whole
salers have theirs, and shoe retailers
| have a third The manufacturers
meet and exchange ideas and set up
codes of ethics: the wholesalers and
the retailers do the same among them
selves.
The committee on trade relations
is aiming at the organization of com
mittees to function in an industry
from the top to the bottom-not a
new association in any industry. but
point of contact SO that the view
point of the retailer may be laid be-
fore the wholesaler and the manufac.
turer, and that of the manufacturer
laid before the wholesaler and the
retailer, etc. Compared to the pres.
ent organization Of trade associations
on a horizontal plane, this proposed
system might be termed the perpen-
dicular organization of business.
Cancellation of orders causes untold
expense to wholesalers and to manu-
facturers. Slow and faulty deliveries
cause heavy losses to distributors.
There is friction, and there is COM
plant, one group against the other
and he consumer pays for the added
expense and the losses.
Evils in business relations are not
confined to any single group. Many
of them are the result of failure to
| understand the problems of another
group. 1t is proposed to study prob
lens jointly, exchange complaints and
suggestions for remedies, encourage
codes of ethics and improved trade
practices, encourage trade clearing
| houses to handle specific complaints
and urge the arbitration of CONNER
cial disputes with consequent savings
of expense and time involved in court
actions.

Already there has been much re-

industries. Back in 1922, the National
Retail Dry Goods Association. which

groups now point, and held joint

BUTTER is UNSETTLED
IN VARIOUS MARKETS
Supplies Always Ample and fol
Some Days in Week Showed
Daily Accommodations.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO. July 3.-The week end.
ing july 8, so far as the butter mar
kets were concerned. was typical of
weeks just past. There were no rad.
zeal changes in prices or conditions
in the market, there having been only
few minor fluctuations registered.
The New York and Chicago markets
ruled steady throughout a larger part
of the week, but confidence in the
| situation was not much in evidence
and the undertone was unsettled.
At Philadelphia and Boston the
condition of the market was easy, un.
settled and quite generally in the
buyers favor. Trading during the
month of June, due to an increased
demand for storage purposes, as a
rule is quite active, but this year,
owing to lack of confidence. buying
for storage has been somewhat lin.
tied.
Supplies of butter on dealers floors
at the four markets during the week
were at all times ample and showed
daily accumulations during the first
few days. These denominations oc-
CURED in spite of the fact that re.
ceiptS at the four markets were run
ming slightly below those Of the previ-
GUS week. To relieve the situation
receivers sent many lots Of the finer
high.cost butter to the freezers for
their own account.
There was also some storing of S.
score centralized cars at Chicago,
as demand from buyers was limited,
with their ideas of value below those
Of sellers.
During the month of June the net
into storage movement of butter at
the four markets amounted to 29,244,-
$50 pounds, as compared with 27,342,-
961 pounds during June, 1925, an in
crease IN the movement Of almost
100000 pounds over last year. This
June into-storage movement was the
largest on record during June for
tho past seven years, with the ex-
ception of June, 1922.

The great objective is faith in the city on
the part of every citizen of Indianapolis
The big purpose must be to enlarge the love of
those who expect to live in this city for this city
Faith in its future, pride in its present imagi-
nation as to its growth and determination to make
it not only bigger but better city will unques-
tionably be inspired
Modern craftsmanship teaches that no one can
sell anything unless he first sell himself the
article.
1t is the new way OF saying that enthusiasm
comes from belief and faith
If there have been any clouds of pessimism and
doubt, they should disappear.
Instead there should come out Of this movement
an organized body of men who have faith in them
selves. and above all, faith in indianapolis.
With such faith, there will be a defense
against any perils with which the city may be faced
City buildingis matter of public spirit and that
comes only through firm confidence in the stability
and destiny of the city in which you live.
