+ 49th annual general hh: able to make ing an (fHE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 1930 5M. AIE ing ng of the nadian Manufacturers' Associa here, the President, R. J. hings, of Calgary, Alberta, in tuncheon address gave a survey of onditions throughout Canada and ke optimistically of the future. r. Hutchings said: "All realize that conditions are not as good as fn'the immediately preceding years, We know that this depression, like all previous depressions, will pass. here are already visible certain encouraging: signs of improvement, When prosperity will return in full tide is impossibe to forecast, The to-operation of all is necessary now, as at other times. Governments can help by formulating and main. taining with the highest possible measure of stability, wise policies, 'After 'that individuals will have to ork out ther own. destinies, with the aid of 'the qualities of adven- ture, ipitiative, courage, {ntelll. gence and thrift" J" Unemployment Condition, " mouching upon - existent condi- tions in his opening remarks, Mri Hutchings sald that while the busi- ness recession ahs been severe, all could remember worse conditions than those of the past year. He spoke of the efforts made by manu- facturers to maintain employment, and of the limitations of these. Some well meaning persons exhort- od manufacturers to maintain thelr staffs, irrespective of whether they were selling goods or not, But reasonable people know that a fac- tory 'which, for example was spaying out $10,000 a day for wages cannot go on very long unless it is selling its products. "It must be remembered' he said, "hat Mhere is no law to compel consum- ers to buy goods." Proceeding he gave an interest- ing review of the development of agriculture, manufacture, business and finance, for the period fro: 1871, when the C.M.A. was orgar jzed to the present. In this he emphasized as one who had spent 48 years in Wetsern Canada, the steady growth of manufacturing west of the Great Lakes. The earli- 'sst available statistics in the west those of 1880 showed 1,921 em- ployees in Manitoba getting $755, 507 in salaries and wages, and the value of products being $3413. 026. Saskatchewan and Alberta to- gether showed = corresponding fig« ures of 83, $34,425 and $195,938, and British Columbia 2,871, $920, 213 and $2,926,784. The last available Mgures, those of 1928 showed employees: Manitoba, 26, 166, Saskatchewan 6,173, Alberta 12,827, and British Columbia 48, 949. Salaries and wages, Mani- -toba, $32,560,223; Saskatchewan, $8,003,677; Alberta, $15,403,292; British ~~ Columbia, $58,726,003, Value of products, Man., $159,435, 094; Sask., $69,125,280; Alberta, $100,744,401; ritish Columbia, $270,851,669, For the whole gsoun- try the contrastng figures were: 1871 employees 187, 942; 1028, 658, 023; capital $77,964,020 and $4,780,296,049; salaries and wages $40,851,009 and $755,365,972; value of products, $221,617,773 and $3,769,847,364.

A. Presents Toronto, "une 4In a voluminous report reviewing Dominion and Pro- vincial Legislation affecting manu- past year, the Legislation Committee of the Canadian Manufacturers Assoc- jation drew particular attention to the which had been witnessed in security frauds pre In the early part of the year a'conference of Provincial Government representatives had tak- en place in Toronto resulting in the drafting of a bill on this increasingly important subject. As an outcome of the Coniaence there had been intros duced and passed in the Legislatures of ali the provinges except. New Brunswick a substantially uniform act The New Brunswick Legislatures had resolved to wait a year or more and see how fhe TC i lation" worked "out Slscwhett, wih he Dutatia bill was introduced; the al Committee had deemed it advisable to ask for the exemptions of the Act of those companies which sold shares to their own bona fide employees. This change was seetited in the Acts of Manitoba and Alberta. Unfortunate- ly the bills in other provinces had already been passed before there had been an opportunity to make proper representations but it was hoped that the desired amendment would be made at the next sessions of the Leg- islatures of these provinces, The Committee noted in discussing the Provincial taxes imposed on com- panies "carrying on business" within the province, that it was frequently being brought to the attention of the Legal Department that companies carrying on business in more than amendment wag made and the same oie province, omitted fo pay some of provitices. The Gommiltee reported that on a umber of occasions consideration had been given to representations made to it by commercial organiza- tions seeking to work out some scheme which wouldeend to discour. age the issuance of N. 8. F. clieques, it being the feeling that the present machinery did" not adequately meet the situation. The Legal Secretary had submitted full representations to the Deputy Minister of Justice but had been informed, that, in the view of the rtment of Justice, it would nat. in. the public interest to extend the proyisions of the Cirm- inal Code to cover such action. The matter had also been brought to the attention of the Canadian Bankers' Association but their opinion also was that the issue of such cheques should not be made a criminal of- fence. The Legislation Committee had appointed a sub-committee to represent the Asociation' in any point action which might be arranged by commercial organizations, In dealing with provincial legista- tion, the Committee reported that 166 bills had been introduced in the Ontario Legislature, of which 118 had [been passed ; 219 in the Quebec Leg islature of which 170 had been passed, 107 in 'the New Brtinswick Legisia< ture, of which 103 had been passed; 40 in Prince' Edward Island, afl of which had been passed; 119 in Man- itoba, of which 106 passed; 87 in Al- berta, of which 72 passed; 118 in Saskatchewan, of /which 110 passed and 94 in British Columbia, of which 81 passed. BUY MORE GOODS WADE IN CANADA Growing Preference for National Products Noted By C. M. A. Toronto, June 3--A growing pref- erence for Canadian products, based on a more widespread realization that an intrease of Canadian production helps people in all occupations, was noted by the Executive Committee of the Canadian Manufacturers Ase sociation review of the progress of the' Produeccd-in-Canada campaign presented to the annual meeting. After mentioning some of the more important exhibitions held during the year at. which Produced-in.Canada goods were featured, the Committee reported that it had arranged for the distribution of cards urging the pur- chase of Canadian products at about 500 exhibitions, fall fairs and trade shows during the year, the distribu- tion amounting to "13,500 large and 27,500 small, cards in English and in French, In addition the associations of architects and éngineers in Can- ada were asked to specify Canadian products in preference to foreign products in building and construction. Invreferring to rations with other DODD'S | KIDNEY organizations, the Committee made special mention of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Great Brit- ain, with which a close working con- nection had been maintained. In its proud of, especially fact that that Association is probably the largest annual report, the Chamber had re- | Empire. ferred to the Canadian Manufactur- | in view of the of its kind within the ] Fach year this Association mtinues ts reat progress, guided ers Association in most cordial terms | by men who have given much « saving, "It is, a contact that we, as| t.cir ume sy a Chamber, have every reason to he benefit of to the direct ( 1a + whole." 'matters connected with that busin These notes and other gencral exper- iences 'will be circulated among the 50 instructors and officers who hand- lesthe series of instruction meetings held during the summer. Empire Shopping Week The committee reported scores of communications had been received as to Empire Shopping Week for the autumn of 1930 but due to the pres- ent disturbed conditions it may not be possible to make suitable arrange- ments. While the Canadian Manu- facturers Association had in the past taken a leading part in carrying on this work there were also associated 12 other social, commercial and in- dustrial organizations whose group memberships composed a cross sec- tion of Canadian life throughout Canada. Referring to the publication of the Canadian Trade Index, an 880-page book listing 10,0000 Canadian manu- facturers, the Committee noted this was circulated in 98 different coun tries throughout the world, where the 50-page: special Export Section was of real interest, in addition to the in- formation that it conveyed to export- ers in Canada. A huge fund of ad ditional information respecting Can- adian industry was complied from the thousands of revising sheets that manufacturers sent in, in connection with the Trade Index. The Committee further reported that it had been co-operating with the Association of Canadian Adver- tisers, the Canadian Daily News- papers y Plo the Canadian Business Newspapers Association and the Retail 'Merchants Association in making representation to the Min. ister of Trade and Commerce regard- ing the desirability of having © thor. ough census of retail establishnients giving Dominion-wide data. It was also felt there should be a priimindry survey of a widely distributed por- tion of the retail trade from whom it would be possible to collect month- ly information as to sales and inven- tories. This wopld serve as a rough guide te the state of the: purchasing power at retail' from month to month a barometer which has previously not been available in Canada. Empire Mark of Origin Referring to the fact that propa ganda and work in connection with an attempt to create a British Em- pire mark of Origin had for many years been in the hands of an Assoc- jation in Great Britain on whose Board a number of Domimons were also represented, the Committee re- ported that the Secretary of this Or- ganization had visited Canada during the, year and had. held conferences with the Committee and Associatios officers. It had been ngrced that an endeavor should be made to estab- lish the {feasibility of an Empire producers who wish to use it, | the 'propriety of its use being left irl the ed associations in a_way similar to that in which the Made-in-Canada and Produced-in-Canada marks oper- ated. As a result of communications definitely favorable replies had been received from many organizations in different parts of the Empire and the Canadian Manufacturers' Association had been invited to consider the ad- visabilitv of having the subject pre- sented for discussion at the forth- coming Imperial Conference. Analysing export trade figures for the fiscal year 1930, the report noted that while there had been a total net decerase in all commodities of $243,- 451,370 33 items alone had been res- nonsible for a decrease of $317,833 Grains - alone accounted for $248,000,000 of the decerases, while 10 other agricultural fitems accounted for most. of the remainder. On the other handy increases for 1929 to the Jinocnt of $68,347,800 were obtained n 37 items, only two of which were: agricultural produ ets.
