Typothetae Meeting
Hears Need Of Sfronq
Federation Stressed
Master Printers Sing
God Save the King
As Convention Opens

The need for strong national
federation of printers in America
was urged at the opening convention
meeting of the United Typothetae of
America by Otis H. johnson of
Washington at the Mayflower Hotel
today. Walter B. Reilly of Lowell.
Mass. also warned the group ways
must be found to recapture or hold
business, totaling $l64675 900 in
1899, formerly spent for printed ad-
vertising, now held by radio and
motion picture advertising concerns.
The convention, concentrating
the 500th anniversary of the inven-
ton of printing, is the Saith annual
meeting of the typothetaens-
trade association for master print
erS.
With an illuminated bust of Ben
jamin Franklin, who, among other
things. was printer. in the back
ground the delegates sang God
Save the King" as Justify as they did
My Country tbs of Thee" A num-

with the American banner.
ID. C.'s Biggest Business.
The printing business was called
the largest single private industry
in Washington by Mr.. johnson. He

industry.

which affect and will continue to
affect every printer. In the political
arena, the rules of the game are
changing daily, by the continual
passage of restrictive punitive laws,
and we. as an industry. have no
voice to raise against Them Mr.
johnson declared
Mr. Reilly, chairman of the con-
vention, told the convention free
competition was the life of business,
but warned that too much COMPETE

Of production" declared Lord Lo-
THAN.
Every totalitarian attempt to sub
stitute some simplified and planned
alternative Cto the distribution sys-
tenn has simply resulted in larger
and longer queues Of people waiting
for supplies which as often as not
are not there"
Asserting that distribution now
faces a test and responsibilities
which it failed in the World War,
George j. Feldman of Washington,
economist and attorney, declared:
Upon it is thrust the burden of
maintaining the free flow of goods
to the home front; of effectuating
wartime governmental control of
consumer prices and supplies, and of
helping to stem the tide of possible
imitation"
