Standard Industrial Classification 632 3F / A HE Department of Commerce has long recognized the importance of trade associations and related groups to the individual businessman and to the national economy. To strengthen and promote the relationship between businessmen and cooperative nonprofit organizations, the Department in 1913 initiated a series of directories, handbooks, and other publications on trade associations and allied organizations. The present handbook is the thirteenth hi the series. It consists of a directory and a review of the services and accomplishments of trade associations, professional societies, labor unions, farm cooperatives, chambers of commerce, better business bureaus, and other organizations which play a prominent part in American life. Also included are summarized economic data, with references to standard sources. This publication was prepared in the Trade Association Division by Jay Judkins, Chief of the Division, and Helen E. Wells. Assistance of various kinds was furnished by the American Trade Association Executives, Chamber of Commerce of the United States, National Association of Manufacturers, National Research Council, and other centers of information described in the book. H. B. McCoy, Director, Office of Domestic Commerce. (/ nfoodactwii A. SSOCIATIONS flourish in a demo- cratic country and are highly regarded by the public and by Government. This hand- book is designed to assist the thousands of associations of businessmen in the United States and all persons dealing with these cooperative, nonprofit organizations. In his January 1949 annual State of the Union Message, President Truman made •the following statements: The Government must work with industry, labor and the farmers in keeping our economy running at full speed. Since the boom year of 1929, while our popula- tion has increased by only 20 percent, our agricul- tural production has increased by 45 percent, and our industrial production has increased by 75 percent. The business cycle is man-made; and men of goodwill, working together, can smooth it out. So far as business is concerned, it should plan for steady, vigorous expansion — seeking always to increase its output, lower its prices, and avoid the vices of monopoly and restriction. So long as busi- ness does this, it will be contributing to continued prosperity, and it will have the help and encour- agement of the Government. Cooperative organizations The cooperative efforts of business along the lines outlined by President Truman, find expression through trade associations and related organizations. This handbook, National Associations of the United States, gives detailed information on approxi- mately 4,000 trade, professional, civic, and Location of 16,600 Organizations of Businessmen. Vll NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES other associations, the majority of which are national in scope, and it also includes other material useful in carrying out its purpose. A feature of the handhook is information on the job-furnishing aspects of each field of American business. All types of nonprofit, voluntarily-joined cooperative associations — including those for employers, employees, farmers, con- sumers, and professionals — have reached high levels of membership and financial support. Including locals and branch chapters, there are today 12,000 trade associations, 4,000 chambers of commerce, 70,000 labor unions, 100,000 women's or- ganizations, and 15,000 civic service groups, luncheon clubs and similar organizations of business and professional men and women. A trade association may be defined as a nonprofit, cooperative, voluntarily-joined, organization of business competitors de- signed to assist its members and its indus- try in dealing with mutual business prob- lems in several of the following areas: accounting practices, business ethics, com- mercial and industrial research, standard- ization, statistics, trade promotion, and relations with Government, employees, and the general public. Historical development With a few exceptions, national trade associations were first formed after the Civil War. Two notable local organizations of business men were founded before 1800 — the present Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York in 1768, and the New York Stock Exchange, which is na- tional in scope, in 1792. Among the larger groups launched in the 1850-65 period are the American Bureau of Shipping, Ameri- can Iron and Steel Institute, National As- sociation of Cotton Manufacturers, National Association of Wool Manufacturers, United States Brewers Association, and Writing Paper Manufacturers Association, some first organized as local groups. In the 1865-75 decade, national associ- ations were formed in the insurance, stove, silk, chemical, flour milling, and jewelry industries, and the present American Bankers Association was organized. By 1900 there were approximately 100 na- tional and interstate trade associations. In 1920 the number had increased to more than 1,000, and in 1949 to 2,000. Today (1949) there are approximately 1,500 national trade associations and an additional 300 national associations either consisting of businessmen organized for special purposes or having a large propor- tion of businessmen as members. The 1,500 trade associations have a paid staff of ap- proximately 16,000 persons and a gross membership of over 1,000,000 business firms. The 4,000 organizations described and listed in this handbook are distributed among the various fields of economic ac- tivity approximately as follows: Number of Field covered; associations Manufacturers 800 Distributors (wholesalers and retailers) . . 300 Transportation, finance, insurance, etc . . 400 Other national associations of businessmen. 300 Professional and semiprofessional persons. 500 Labor unions 200 Women ]00 Veterans and military 60 Commodity exchanges 60 Farmers 55 Negroes 50 Public officials 50 Fraternal 25 Sports and recreation 1 00 All other fields 1,000 The geographical distribution of the 16,600 national and local organizations is shown by areas on the map ■ — 10,800 are located in the States east of the Mississippi River, and 5,800 west of the Mississippi. Association names A few full-purpose national trade associ- ations use the words "Bureau," "Guild," "Institute," or "Conference," as part of the association name. In other cases, however, such words imply a more or less single- purpose type of organization, or one with INTRODUCTION IX a set-up somewhat different from that of the usual trade association. Some of the Webb associations use the word "Com- pany," (an example is the Douglas Fir Export Co.), despite the fact that the association is a nonprofit organization. Private companies, on the other hand, sometimes attach the words "Bureau" or "Institute" to the company name, and be- cause of this fact are sometimes mistaken for associations. Among well-known pri- vately-owned firms or services are the Bureau of National Affairs, Research In- stitute of America, Latin American Insti- tute, National Research Bureau, Book League of America, and American Tech- nical Society. Subscribers to the services of such companies are sometimes called "members." Membership, staff, dues, and revenue The majority of national trade associ- ations have a membership of less than 200 firms each, a staff of 3 persons or less, and annual receipts of less than $40,000; yet many are able to carry on programs of considerable scope through the aid of ac- tive committees of members. The increase in size of staff and mem- bership from 1942 to 1948 was especially marked in the case of the approximately 120 national trade associations with 15 or more employees, each. These leaders gained 1,500 employees during this period, an increase of 27 percent, and their mem- bership increased to a total of over 450,0 CO firms, a 30 percent increase. In 1949, of the 1,510 national trade associations, 210 had a staff of 15 and over, 330 had 6 to 14, 290 had 3-5, and 680 had under 3. Membership. — In general, national trade association membership varies from as few as 20 to thousands of companies. Member- ship figures, however, do not indicate the importance of an association to its indus- try. Some fields of manufacturing have a comparatively small number of firms, all or most of which usually belong to the industry association. Associations of retail- ers, on the other hand, may have very large memberships and yet not be as representa- tive of the industry's total number of firms as a manufacturing association with a few dozen members. A well-established na- tional association is usually made up of firms responsible for at least two-thirds of the annual dollar volume of its industry's business. Association membership is usually open to any firm in the industry, or particular part of the industry, represented. Very large firms, manufacturing many different types of commodities, frequently hold membership in a number of national as- sociations, as well as in interstate, State, and local groups. The majority of the firms holding membership in national associa- tions, however, are in the "small business" class — that is, they are small or medium in size as to capital investment, number of employees, and annual volume of business. Such firms also comprise the bulk of the membership of the Nation's 2,000 State and 8,000 local trade associations. Most business men are also active in social, fra- ternal, religious, political, and racial or- ganizations. Staffs. — Most national associations have small staffs. Usually, the headquarters staff of a national association is much smaller than the total for the industry's local associations directly or indirectly affiliated with the national. The majority have three or less employees, although this figure increases to over 100 for some of the larger organizations. In most cases, size of staff is indicative of the amount of annual revenue. A relatively small number of national associations provide 15 or more types of services for their members through a headquarters and field staff of 20 or more persons, under the guidance of an efficient secretary with an annual salary of $20,000 or more. At the other extreme are some national, and many local, trade and professional associations which em- ploy only a part-time secretary. NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES Dues. — Annual dues range from $10 for some retail groups with several thousand members, to over $1,000 for some associ- ations of manufacturers with a small num- ber of members. Annual revenues range from under $20,000 to over $1,000,000. In addition to membership dvies, some associ- ations obtain revenue from industrial ex- hibitions or trade shows, and a small num- ber from magazine advertisements. Almost one-half of 900 national and interstate trade associations reporting on revenue in a prewar survey by the Department of Commerce stated that at least 40 percent of their annual income was received from the four largest contributors. Despite this statement, most association constitutions provide that each member will have but one vote, regardless of size. Budgets Although the annual receipts of trade associations vary, the average is compara- tively small. The figures given below, based on a sample survey of associations which have annual revenues ranging from $35,000 to $60,000, show the average expenditures of associations of manufacturers in this group. In individual association budgets the relationship of separate items to the total budget often varies to a greater extent than is shown above. Some associations spend as little as 40 percent on regular staff salaries, because large trade promo- tion or other specialized campaigns are carried on by outside agencies. In such cases, the expenditures are routed through the association office to the advertising agency, research bureau, or other outside office which is carrying on the particular program. At other times, an affiliated bureau is set up for a special need and is separately financed by members of the parent association, as well as by non-mem- bers and companies which sell materials to the industry. The following chart de- picts the figures given in the table, with a slightly wider range. SALARIES to carry on the various association services described on following pages 40 to 65 percent PRINTING of various types of association bulletins, and postage and office supplies 10 to 20 percent MEETINGS AND CONVENTIONS 10 to 15 percent RENT and allied expenses About 5 percent All other expenditures 5 to 20 percent Activities The extent and variety of an association's activities are naturally dependent upon the needs of the industry, the size of the association budget, and its staff.

Since tbese activities are approxi- mately unchanged, this detailed treatment has been omitted in the present handbook. A constantly increasing share of associ- ation budgets is being expended on social and economic research, with emphasis on long range studies designed to overcome sharp fluctuations in production and em- ployment. Another major activity of trade associations is cooperation with govern- ment, as indicated by the fact that many of the statistical and economic reports issued by the Department of Commerce are pre- pared in cooperation with trade and pro- fessional associations. Most associations advocate a national economy free of monopolistic practices and restraints of trade. Each year the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission prosecute a compara- tively few associations which have violated the antitrust laws by controlling produc- tion, prices, sales channels, or sales areas. Such association practices are against the public welfare, and are condemned by associations operated under progressive leadership. Some associations are ruled by small, self-perpetuating cliques, and others have forgotten their obligations to the general public welfare. In some instances, associ- ations are operating under handicaps of unskilled management, and inadequate membership support and funds. This hand- book endeavors to summarize the best fea- tures of cooperative effort in the United States, rather than to stress its short- comings. Services of manufacturers associations A sample survey made during 1948 by the Trade Association Division of the Depart- ment of Commerce indicates that national associations of manufacturers plan to aid their members during the next few years in the following fields of service: All of the associations will: Act as the Nation's center of general information not only on their own industries, but to some extent on related industries or groups — • such as suppliers of raw products, distrib- utors, and service trades connected with manufacturing. Issue bulletins, usually several each month. These often consist of "Business trends" or "statistical" bulletins, a "legis- lative" bulletin, and other special types. Bulletins are usually for members only; a small number of associations have a "trade journal" type of magazine, which carries advertising and is sold to the public. Arrange frequent conferences on current industry problems. From 70 to 100 percent are planning activities in the fields of Government rela- tions, trade promotion, trade practices, public relations, annual conventions, co- operation with other organizations, and information services.

INTRODUCTION XV Services of retail and service trades associations The program of the National Retail Hardware Association is summarized be- low as an example of the services provided by national associations in the retail and service trades fields. Merchandising calendar. — This calendar outlines window trim and advertising ac- tivities for each week of the year. The calendar for each month lists a number of hardware items which have proven them- selves to be excellent traffic builders. Each year a committee of successful hardware retailers from various sections of the United States meets at the association • headquarters in Indianapolis to help de- velop a monthly merchandise calendar for the succeeding year. Attractively bound, and covering suggested merchandising ac- tivities for a full year, the Calendar is sold to members at a low price. Distribution is confined to association members. Advertising service. — This time-saving service provides ready-to-use mats of com- plete advertising copy. These follow the schedule set up in the Merchandise Cal- endar, thus providing the average hard- ware dealer with a professionally planned and produced advertising campaign for a whole year. Abundant supplementary ma- terial, in addition to the complete ad-mats, enables large stores to prepare full-page ads or direct-by-mail circulars. Pennants and banners, coordinated in design and copy, are included in the service for use in store windows. Store planning assistance. — The national association and State association office staffs are equipped to prepare floor plans showing the most efficient and modern arrangement of fixtures. Store front bulletins. — Available for dealers interested in new store fronts is a series of 12 sheets showing designs for store fronts. These designs have been worked out especially for hardware stores by leading store front designers, working in conjunction with the association's store arrangement engineers. Trade journal. — The monthly publica- tion of the association is the Hardware Retailer, which contains information help- ful to the 30,000 hardware store members of the NRHA in the management of their business. Each issue includes suggested window trims to be used by the hardware dealer in the month following. These win- dow trims are timed to follow the Mer- chandise Calendar and the Advertising Service. Trade directory. — Each July issue of the Hardware Retailer is a Directory Issue which gives information regarding sources of supply for hardware and kindred items. The Directory is divided into two general sections, Brand Names and Product Names. If a dealer wants to contact the manufac- turer of a product and knows only its brand name, he refers to the Brand Names Section. There he will find approximately 20,000 brand names of products sold by hardware dealers, together with the names and addresses of the manufacturers. A typi- cal issue of the Directory contains the names of more than 10,000 products and 60,000 manufacturers. Store fixture and lighting bulletins. — The association supplies bulletins showing the latest developments in association- recommended fixtures for hardware stores, with special emphasis on store lighting. Accounting service. — The association has devised a complete accounting system especially adapted to retail hardware stores, which is used by thousands of such stores. It can be used by a business of any size, and yet the records required are carried in just two ledger binders. Com- plete outfits, replacement supplies, and numerous miscellaneous forms are sold at cost to members only. Cost-of -doing-business surveys. — This is I NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES a most valuable study for the member who wishes to improve his business opera- tions. Each year the association tabulates the business experiences of its members for the preceding year, and publishes a record of its findings in the Hardware Re- tailer. To each member who supplies data for the report, the association sends a special tabulation showing a comparison of the member's figures on sales, margins, profits, and itemized expenses with the average experience of the business group in which the member belongs. Investigation of fake concerns. — Mem- bers save thousands of dollars each year by following warnings issued by the associa- tion regarding concerns which offer vari- ous kinds of fake schemes. Many members ask the association to investigate various kinds of "money - back - if - not - satisfied" propositions. Annual convention. — In addition to the exceedingly helpful annual congress or convention of the national association, each State association holds an annual convention. These meetings give dealers an opportunity to exchange views, as well as to listen to outstanding speakers discuss pertinent business topics. Washington representation. — The associ- ation maintains a resident representative in Washington, D. C, to look after the in- terests of hardware dealers in legislation and in orders from Government agencies. Consultation service. — A member may obtain from the association advice on any problem which concerns the conduct of his business. Miscellaneous bulletins. — The associa- tion periodically prepares and distributes to the entire membership, through affili- ated State or regional associations, bulle- tins on matters pertaining to hardware store operation. Organization of the handbook This handbook consists of three major parts: Part I, Industry Sections, Part II, Miscellaneous Sections, and Part III, Other Types of Organizations. Sections in the first two parts contain introductory notes on the fields covered and listings of organizations in these fields, with data on each organization. Part III contains ex- pository material on the organizations covered, but no detailed listings of organ- izations. In addition to these three parts there is an index, with page references to all the organizations listed in the hand- book, seven appendices, and a statistical supplement. Reference material Instead of a formal bibliograpby of publications of value to trade associations, reference is made throughout the hand- book to informational material pertinent to each field covered. Attention is also called to publications issued by the United Nations. Among the UN agencies which issue material of special value to business- men and associations of businessmen are: The Economic and Social Council, with commissions on transport and communica- tions, statistics, economic and employment problems, and human rigbts; International Labor Organization; International Bank for Reconstruction and Development; Food and Agriculture Organization; World Health Organization; and United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Or- ganization. Suggestions and corrections invited The Trade Association Division, Depart- ment of Commerce, serves as a center and clearing house for information on business and allied organizations. It has compiled the Federal Government's only compre- hensive directories of such organizations during the past 35 years. The Division can best serve the public, the business com- munity, and trade associations by main- taining accurate and up-to-date records. To this end, it invites suggestions for additions to the listings in this handbook and cor- rections of anv inaccurate data. Jnidex XmS index includes all the organiza- tions described or listed in the three parts and the appendices of this handbook. A special effort has been made to design an index which will enable the user to readily find any organization in a given industry or field. The reader may use any of three meth- ods to find an association: 1. Look for the exact association name. For example, the American Bankers Association appears in its regular alpha- betical sequence. The page number in the right-hand column refers to the Sec- tion where all associations in the bank- ing and related fields are brought to- gether and to the page on which the American Bankers Association is listed in full detail. 2.

In 1948, manufacturers' sales totaled $72 billion, according to the Office of Business Economics (see Statistical Supplement). These products comprised 33 percent of the sales of all factory prod- ucts. The industries' 50,200 firms provided employment to almost 6.5 million persons. Approximately 450 national trade associa- tions, representing all branches of the metal industries, are described on follow- ing pages; also listed are 100 professional and other organizations related to the metals group.

METAL PRODUCTS ASSOCIATIONS 1948 figures showing factory employment (wage earners only) in 23 of the industries in the iron and steel group, together witli percentage increases over 1939 in employ- ment and pay rolls. It will be seen that 8 of the industries are starting 1949 with at least twice the job-furnishing capacity they had in 1939; almost one-half of tlie employment is centered in the first three industries. Machinery Second in employment among the six metal products groups is machinery (ex- cept electrical), with 1,600,000 wage and salary workers in early 1949. This figure combined with electrical machinery's 750,- 000 workers makes the machinery field the largest employer in the metals group. Of the 21,000 machinery establishments in early 1948, 17,000 were in the non-elec- trical field, and 4,000 in the electrical. Manufacturers' sales in 1948 exceeded $21 billion: $12.9 billion for non-electrical machinery and $8.6 for electrical. Approxi- mately 150 national trade associations of machinery manufacturers and distributors are described on following pages — 120 rep- resenting machinery, and 30 representing electrical machinery industries. Machinery products are sold to both consumer and industrial markets. New in- ventions create constant changes. Among present-day electrical machinery industry contributions to the American housewife are automatic clothes and dish washers and driers, refrigerators and food-freezing units, electric blankets and sheets, pop-up toasters, electric ranges, garbage disposal units, fans and air conditioners, vacuum cleaners, food mixers, automatic irons, and so on. This industry's industrial products are countless in number, ranging from gi- ant electric power motors and installations to delicate, electrically-operated dental and surgical instruments. Scores of small-staffed national associa- tions in the industry represent a single type of product. Examples include the Electric Hoist Manufacturers Association, Hand Chain Hoist Institute, Electric Over- head Crane Institute, Chain Institute and Association of Sprocket Chain Manufac- turers. In contrast, members of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA; with a staff of 90), and the Motor and Equipment Manufacturers Association (with a staff of 60) cover a wide variety of products. NEMA's presi- dent announced in December 1948 that its members had sales totaling $3 billion dur- ing the year, compared with only $400 million in the depression year 1934. The largest firm in the machinery field had over 150,000 employees in 1948; two others had approximately 100.000 workers. Machinery employment and pay rolls The table on page 6 shows the largest fields of factory employment (wage earn- ers) in October 1948, and contrasts the sharp increases since 1939 in number of workers and pay rolls. Transportation equipment including automobiles Approximately 50 national associations of employers act as national spokesmen for the over 4,000 manufacturing firms in the transportation equipment groups and the wholesale and retail distributors of their products. Manufacturers' sales in 1948 to- taled approximately $21 billion: $16.3 bil- lion by automotive industry firms, and $4.6 billion by other transportation equipment companies. According to the Department of Labor, the transportation equipment industry was providing manufacturing employment to almost 1.6 million persons at the start of 1949. Almost 1 million workers were em- ployed in the automobile industry, and 600,000 in aircraft, shipbuilding, locomo- tive, railroad and street car, motorcycle, and other transportation equipment-pro- 6 NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES Machinery Manufacturing.

Michigan is the production center of the automotive branch of transportation equipment; California leads in the avia- tion branch. In early 1948, the leading States by number of workers for the in- dustry as a whole were: Michigan (452,- 000), California (109,000), Ohio (101,000), Indiana (84,000), and New York (80,000), according to State Unemployment Com- mission reports to the Social Security Ad- ministration. Transportation equipment employ- ment and pay rolls The table below shows factory employ- ment (wage earners) in the automotive group, and in major parts of the trans- portation equipment (except automobiles) group. The largest-staffed association of employ- ers in the automotive field is the Auto- mobile Manufacturers Association, organ- ized in 1900 as the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. In that pioneer year, the industry produced 4,200 motor Transportation Equipment (including automobiles) Manufacturing.

In 1948, 3.9 million passenger cars and 1.4 million trucks and buses were produced. The industry claims 8.9 million persons directly and indirectly employed, including 5.4 million truck and bus driv- ers, and 1.3 million sales and service em- ployees. The AMA is one of the compara- tively few associations which issues an annual book of statistics, covering its own and related industries. Close contact is maintained with scores of associations of material producers because of the indus- try's large purchases of steel, copper, lead, zinc, glass, cotton, rubber, petroleum products, glass, and paint. N on ferrous metals and products Most of the 12,000 companies in this group are small firms in the jewelry, metal engraving, sheet-metal work, lighting fix- tures, and allied fields. On the other hand, there are some very large firms of primary producers in the aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, gold, silver, magnesium, tin, and the other nonferrous metals industries. Several of the large corporations had from 25,000 to 50,000 employees, each, in 1948. Such firms usually make a variety of products and hold membership in several national associations. Approximately 80 associations of manufacturers and distributors are de- scribed on following pages. One of the most active associations in research and trade promotion is the Cop- per and Brass Research Association. One of the oldest, formed about 60 years ago, is the New England Manufacturing Jewel- ers and Silversmiths Association, national in scope despite its name. Nonferrous metals employment and pay rolls The table below shows factory employ- ment (wage earners) in major parts of this industry group. Association activities Many prizes have been won by associa- tions of metal product manufacturers and distributors in contests sponsored by the American Trade Association Executives for "outstanding association activities." (The Secretary of Commerce has served as chair- man of the Jury of Awards in each of the 13 contests held thus far.) The following extracts from 7 of these awards indicate the wide scope of service furnished by well-managed trade associations: NATIONAL SCREW MACHINE PRODUCTS AS- SOCIATION. — "Especially for its reconversion program involving this industry's more than 800 'smaller husiness' companies throughout the country which manufacture custom-made metal parts on automatic screw machines.

Its reconversion activities involved ag- gressive work by its staff and many working committees in the fields of contract termination, surplus materials, employee relations, cost ac- counting, sales promotion, government relations, and so on." MAGNESIUM ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA.— "Especially for its recent work in industrial research and sales promotion. It was found that too many industrial engineers and designers looked upon this 'new' light metal (annual pro- duction rose from 6 million pounds to 500 mil- lion pounds during the war years) as a com- paratively untried and unproved metal for post- war industrial and consumer needs. Sound prog- ress, it seems, has now been made in needed industrial research — and this has been followed by educational promotion to convince light metal users of magnesium's safety, durability, anrl strength when properly used." NATIONAL ELECTRICAL MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION. — "For its leadership in insuring a maximum How of regular and special electrical equipment for the war program, through an efficient program of Business-Government coop- eration. Electrical goods production, largely for war needs, has been increased almost five-fold above the prewar national output of approxi- mately two billion dollars." CAN MANUFACTURERS INSTITUTE.— "For its key part in the campaign to conserve tin cans throughout the Nation, and for spear-heading its industry^ development of hundreds of new types and uses of metal containers for Armed Forces foods and munitions, packaged for the special needs of all battle areas." AUTOMOTIVE SAFETY FOUNDATION.— "For its very thorough campaign to encourage the safe and efficient use of motor vehicles on streets and highways. This includes highway develop- ment, accident records, safety education, research at universities, uniform laws and administration, traffic engineering, etc." AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF STEEL CONSTRUC- TION. — "Coordination of the technical and pro- motional efforts of the industry to increase the use of structural steel in the construction of factories, shipyards, aviation fields, prefabricated structures, etc., also including a survey of the effect of bombs upon various types of building in Great Britain." INSTITUTE OF BOILER AND RADIATOR MANUFACTURERS.— "For its achievement in developing common standards of performance of boilers used in residential heating and reli- able methods of selecting proper sizes and types for heating comfort. These were based on ex- haustive laboratory tests in which not only all member firms but also non-members partici- pated." Largest and oldest associations Trade associations operating entirely in the metals field had staffs totaling 3,400 persons in 1948. Their aggregate member- ship was 177,000 firms.

TEXTILE, APPAREL, AND LEATHER ASSOCIATIONS 159 Integration and other developments Among special features of the textile and related industries which are of significance for both trade associations and labor unions are: (1) Rising importance of southern, midwestern, and Pacific Coast production centers; (2) technological advancements in machinery; (3) new synthetic fibers such as nylon; (4) improved financing and mer- chandising practices; (5) frequent style and fashion changes; and (6) integration of proc- essing. As an example of integration de- velopment, some cotton mill companies now carry on all the many processing steps from the cotton bale to the finished product: Spinning, knitting, weaving, dyeing, bleach- ing, and so on. Other mills sell their un- finished goods to firms which specialize in one or more converting and finishing proc- esses. Consequently, there are associa- tions representing these procedures, such as the National Textile Processors Guild, Tex- tile Refinishers Association, Textile Fabrics Association, National Association of Finish- ers of Textile Fabrics, Silk and Rayon Printers and Dyers Association, National Federation of Textiles (includes the former National Rayon Weavers Association), and the Textile Distributors Institute. APPAREL INDUSTRIES An outstanding feature of the "needle trades" industries is the fact that the Nation's production in various branches of the women's apparel and accessories field is centered in New York City. Consequently, the trade associations and labor unions in this industry are also centered there. Three of the larger unions have over 350,000 mem- Some Leading Factory Employment States in the Apparel Industry bers each: Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America (CIO), International Ladies Gar- ment Workers Union (AFL), and the Tex- tile Workers Union of America (CIO).

A wide variety of commodities are produced by their more than 65,000 fac- tories. Manufacturers' sales for the three groups totaled about $13 billion in 1948: Paper, $6.1 billion; furniture, $3.7 billion; and lumber, $3.3 billion (in 1947; the 1948 figure for lumber is not available). (See Statistical Supplement.) The greater part of the national production and dis- tribution of these industries is handled by members of the 200 national trade associa- tions described on following pages, or of affiliated regional, State, and local organi- zations. Also included in the association list are 20 professional and other associa- tions closely allied to these industry groups.

Large and small firms Reports issued in January 1949 by the Office of Domestic Commerce contain So- cial Security Administration statistics on employing firms for early 1947 (see Sta- tistical Supplement). According to these data, there were 38,000 lumber, 9,000 fur- niture, and 4,000 paper establishments. Only 3,100 of these firms had 100 or more employees; 370 had 500 or more. Just be- fore the war, the firms with 100 or more employees represented only 6 percent of all firms in these industries, but furnished jobs to more than 60 percent of the indus- tries' workers. In early 1948, the number of firms (including both employing firms and those having a proprietor only) were: Lumber, 53,000; furniture, 11,000; and pa- per, 4,000. Leading States and counties In late 1948, the lumber, furniture and paper industries were providing approxi- mately 2 million wage and salary jobs in American factories, with large additional employment in the wholesale, retail, con- struction, printing, and other fields, accord- ing to the Department of Labor. The em- ployment data given below for early 1948 indicate the location of the major factories. (See the tables and maps in the Statistical Supplement for further details.) Lumber Fifty-seven percent of employment was in 10 States: Oregon (10 percent); Wash- ington (8); followed by California and Georgia (5 each), and Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Texas (4 each). The ranking of States by output differs appreciably from the em- ployment ranking, owing to such factors as size of trees, kind of timber, and the amount of machinery used. In 1945, the five leading States produced 47 percent of total output: Oregon (18 percent), Washington (11), California (8), Alabama (5), and Georgia (5). The five leading counties were Lane and Klamath in Ore- gon, Cowlitz and Snohomish in Washing- ton, and Humboldt in California. The memberships of the Western Pine Associa- tion, West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and California Redwood Association are centered in these States.

Most of the firms are small units, although the industry also has many unusually large firms with tremendous investments in in- dustrial research facilities. The largest com- pany had 75,000 employees in 1948. Employment and pay rolls Reports from the Census of Manufac- tures covering the year 1947 will be avail- able by mid-1949. They will include de- tailed information on firms, employment, cost of materials and power, etc., by in- dustries and by geographical areas. The tahle on page 282 summarizes late- 1948 employment data from the Depart- ment of Labor, and shows the relative im- portance of 12 major industries in the chemical and allied products group. In October 1948, there were 600,000 produc- tion factory workers (wage employees I of the group's total of 790,000 wage and salary workers. (Data on the rayon fab- ricating industry are given in Section 3. ) Details on current developments in the chemical products industry are presented in each monthly issue of the "Chemicals and Drugs Industry Report" (usually com- prising 50 pages of latest statistics, with pertinent charts, tables, and text), of the Department of Commerce. Other monthly reports of the Department include three in the "Facts for Industry" series (issued by the Bureau of the Census) : "Inor- ganic Chemicals," "Paint," and "Super- phosphate." Association activities Examples of activities of individual as- sociations are given in the following ex- tracts from awards made by the American Trade Association Executives for "out- standing association services" (see p. xi for general association programs). MANUFACTURING CHEMISTS ASSOCIATION OF THE UNITED STATES.— "Especially for its program of industrial research and accident prevention. The MCA has spearheaded many cooperative activities of the great chemical indus- try, and during the past year has devoted special efforts to the standardization of labeling for hazardous chemicals. This project has been car- ried out in cooperation with specialists from the medical, container, distribution, and other fields." TOILET GOODS ASSOCIATION.— "For institut- ing a program of technical research and standard- ization of basic materials used in the cosmetics industry so as to best conform with the purposes of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act, with as little disturbance to the industry as possible." NATIONAL PAINT, VARNISH AND LACQUER ASSOCIATION.— "For its vital part in the paint industry's development of scores of new types of protective coatings for every war-needed product which fights, floats, or flies. Also for overcoming manpower and material shortages, including the sponsoring of local war-problems clinics throughout the Nation to better acquaint producers, distributors, and the public with the industry's problems and procedures."

Founded over 70 years ago, it pub- lishes four technical magazines and spon- sors a continuing series of conferences and surveys for its more than 50,000 members in the United States and foreign countries. Rubber In late 1948, the consumption of im- ported natural rubber was averaging 50,000 tons per month and chemical (synthetic) rubber about 40,000 tons. Tire production averaged about 7 million units per month to meet the needs of the some 40 million motor vehicles on the Nation's highways. (See Statistical Supplement.) Manufactur- ers' sales amounted to $3.5 billion in 1948. The national trade associations described on following pages include 8 in the rubber industry. Employment and pay rolls At the start of 1949, the Nation's 1,500 rubber industry factories provided jobs to some 250,000 persons, according to the Department of Labor. Of these, about 200,- 000 were factory wage earners. The table on page 283 shows late 1948 employment and payrolls data for major parts of the rubber industry. Reports issued in January 1949 by the Office of Domestic Commerce, containing Social Security Administration Statistics on all employing firms for early 1947, dis- closed 932 employing firms in the rub- ber industry. These firms had a total of 264,000 wage and salary workers, with 107 units having 500 or more employees, each. The four largest companies employed from 40,000 to 75,000 persons each, in 1948. The largest States in annual postwar production are Ohio, (with about 35 percent of na- tional employment), usually followed by Massachusetts, New Jersey, California, and Indiana.

The RMA is almost a federation of associations. It has separately staffed divisions on eight lines of rubber products; from tires and tubes to rubber heels and drug sundries. During the late war this industry's output rose to several billion dollars of products. Unlimited Governmental funds and day- and-night work by the rubber, chemical, machinery, and allied industries brought about the final mir- acle of ample supplies of various new synthetic rubbers. These have vastly broadened the possible use of rubber products.

L T THE start of 1949, the physical volume of factory production for the stone, clay, and glass industries was more than double that of the prewar 1935-39 average. Manufacturers' sales in 1948 totaled $4.3 billion; there were 15,000 firms, with 550,- 000 employees (see Statistical Supple- ment). Approximately 100 national trade associations of manufacturers and distrib- utors are described on following pages; also included are 20 professional and other associations closely allied to the industry. Employment and pay rolls The table below shows the relative size of the major divisions of the stone, clay, Stone, Clay, and Glass Manufacturing.

Leading states and counties Leading States in employment are usu- ally Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York (comprising about one-third of all wage and salary workers), followed by Illinois, West Virginia, California, New Jersey, and Indiana. Leading counties are usually Cook (Chicago), New York, Los Angeles, Alle- gheny (Pittsburgh), and Lucas. These few counties had about 15 percent of total na- tional employment in the stone, clay, and glass industries in 1947. Current statistics Current statistics on these fields are con- tained in the monthly "Construction Indus- try Report," issued by the Office of Do- mestic Commerce. Additional statistics are issued by the Bureau of the Census in its monthly publication, "Clay Construction Products," and in such annual reports as "Refractories" and "Pressed and Blown Glassware." Largest and oldest associations Of the associations listed in this section, the largest in size of staff is the Portland Cement Association. It maintains field staffs of engineers and research workers in principal centers of road and building construction, and has done outstanding work in trade promotion, educational serv- ices, and technical research. The 10, or more, largest associations, by size of staff and number of members, and the 10 oldest are listed below. Association activities The outstanding work of associations in the stone, clay, and glass industries has been recognized by the American Trade Association Executives in its contests for trade association achievement. Two exam- ples are: VITRIFIED CHINA ASSOCIATION.— "For a suc- cessful example of creating a strong organiza- tion out of a previously informal, nonstaffed as- sociation.

"The association has active committee, or staff, activities in such fields as technological research, statistics, foreign trade problems, raw materials, supply, marketing, employee relations, and com- mercial arbitration. Recent exhibitions of prod- ucts have demonstrated to the public that Amer- ican chinaware has now reached highest levels of design, beauty, and durability." PORTLAND CEMENT ASSOCIATION. — "For successfully furthering the use of its members' product. Its special achievement during the period relates to its promotion of greater use of cement in the construction of 'farm to mar- ket' light-traffic roads. There are said to be more than 2,500,000 miles of these roads in the United States, most of this mileage being in rural areas. State and local tax funds were frequently insuf- ficient to finance the usual heavy-construction highway. The association realized that a cheaper type of road must be devised, to further the sales of its industry's product. "After a survey of all available published mate- rial and technical experience, extensive labora- tory tests were made by the association itself and by State Highway boards with which it coop- erated. A number of experimental portions of roads were laid down. Elaborate tests were made of varying soil, topographical, weather, and other conditions which would play a part in the cost, the durability, and the general effectiveness of this new type of light-traffic road. It now appears that most of the problems have been solved, that the new type of highway will meet normal re- quirements for this sort of traffic (yet at about half the cost of former cement roads in these areas), and that this industry has thereby found a greatly expanded potential market." Association magazines Among the trade journals published by associations in the stone, clay, glass group are "Constructor" (Associated Gen- eral Contractors of America), "Bulletin" (American Ceramic Society), "Stained Glass" (Stained Glass Association of Amer- ica), and "Journal" (American Concrete Institute). Trade association publications, in most cases, consist of bulletins, special reports, and similar releases, rather than publications of the trade journal type. 100 Trade Associations in the Stone, Clay, and Glass Industries [Including the few associations in the monument, cemetery, and funeral service fields.] 1 HE membership of each of these 100 organizations is composed entirely or pri- marily of business firms. Included in the alphabetical list below are key word references which bring together associations in related groups. The word Concrete, for example, refers to seven associa- tions in this particular field. A list of 20 professional, etc., associations follows the trade organization list.

In 1948, it comprised ap- proximately 750,000 employees and over 40,000 establishments, according to the Of- fice of Business Economics (see Statistical Supplement). The national spokesmen for these establishments are the 60 national trade associations described on following pages; also listed are 40 professional and other organizations closely allied to these fields. Physical production in the industry at the start of 1949 was 60 percent above the 1935-39 average. Large and small firms Of the prewar total of 38,000 firms, al- most 30 percent were small printing shops without even one employee. Another 35 percent had only one to three employees. The 1939 Census of Manufactures covered almost 25,000 establishments with 553,000 employees (325,000 were wage workers) and $2.6 billion value of products. Another 13,600 very small printing and publishing shops, with 9,000 employees, were covered by the 1939 Census of Service Establish- ments (because their annual receipts were under $5,000 each). Postwar data on size groups will be available in the 1947 Census of Manufactures. In early 1947, the Nation's leading print- ing-industry State, New York, had 5,300 employing firms, with 156,000 employees (155,000 in early 1948). Only 1,200 of these 5,300 firms employed 20 or more workers.

The Nation's largest bank in resources is located in San Francisco; most of the other large banks have New York City headquarters. Federal legislation plays an exception- ally active part in banking, largest com- ponent of the finance group. The Federal Reserve System was set up to protect pub- lic interests, coordinate banking aid in periods of business depression, and other- wise strengthen the banking structure of the country. Among other Federal agencies having direct contact with this group are the Securities and Exchange Commission, Reconstruction Finance Corporation, Fed- eral Home Loan Bank System, Export-Im- port Bank of Washington, and the Treas- ury Department. Consequently, "Govern- 352 FINANCE AND REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATIONS 353 ment relations" is a foremost activity of trade associations in this branch of Amer- ican business life. Chief spokesman for the Nation's ap- proximately 16,000 banks and trust com- panies is the American Bankers Associa- tion. With more than 200 employees (in- cluding those of the American Institute of Banking, its educational branch) it carries on extensive research, public relations and trade promotion, employee training, bank management surveys and other valuable services for its 16,000 members. Some 80,- 000 bank employees have taken AIB courses, given in 400 cities. Real estate In addition to the 120,000 real estate •firms in 1947, shown in the preceding ta- ble, there were 18,000 combination real es- tate-insurance offices, with approximately 70,000 employees (see Section 11 for data on the insurance industry ) . The National Association of Real Estate Boards is the largest organization in the real estate field ; its affiliated groups include more than 1,000 local boards and 6 national associ- ations. Specialized organizations Stock exchanges and commodity ex- changes are special types of cooperative, nonprofit associations of business competi- tors. The New York Stock Exchange has more than 1,300 employees to perform its highly specialized service as a market place for the buying and selling of stocks and bonds. The Associated Credit Bureaus of America is the national coordinator of the work of over 2,000 local credit exchange information bureaus, serving retail stores and other distributors; local bureaus in large cities often have 100 to 200 or more employees.

In some indus- tries, trade association cooperative adver- tising campaigns were the major feature of 1948 advertising activities. Approxi- mately 60 national trade associations in the advertising and allied fields are described on following pages; also included are 40 professional and other organizations closely related to this group. Advertising ties with other industries Advertising is an effective aid in the personal-contact selling efforts of the Na- tion's several million salesmen, and of sales clerks in the 1,800,000 retail stores and in other business establishments. Of total ad- vertising expenditures, roughly two-thirds is for national and one-third for local ad- vertising. Advertising furnishes the prin- cipal support of much of the great print- ing industry, whose products include news- papers, magazines, labels, circulars, and so on. The paper industry is closely related. The radio industry is entirely supported by the advertising broadcast through this medium. More than two-thirds of newspaper ad- vertising is provided by retail stores and other local area enterprises; whereas most magazine and radio advertising expendi- tures are made by larger manufacturers who have won Nation-wide distribution of their products. Cooperative advertising Of special interest are some of the 1948- 49 cooperative advertising campaigns of trade associations in promoting their in- dustries products through national adver- tising. The 1949 expenditures of the Amer- ican Gas Association and the Gas Appli- ance Manufacturers Association, to in- crease the use of household gas appliances and wider gas-consumption markets, will total several million dollars, and will aid thousands of retail distributors. The elec- trical industry is equally promotional. The American Meat Institute expended some million dollars for radio time in 1948 edu- cational campaigns, and almost as much for newspaper, magazine, and other media. The Institute of Life Insurance expended $1.5 million; the National Association of Ice Industries, $600,000; and the Florists Telegraph Delivery Association, $400,000 in cooperative advertising in 1948. Other large cooperative advertising campaigns in the past year by sales promotion-minded associations included : Anthracite Institute, $650,000; Bituminous Coal Institute, $400,- 000; National Confectioners Association, $400,000; American Dairy Association, $1 million ; and Association of American Rail- roads, $900,000. In top rank each year are associations of farm producers (which are also whole- sale distributors) such as the California Fruit Growers Exchange. One religious as- 370 ADVERTISING AND ALLIED ASSOCIATIONS 371 sociation recently expended $1 million on a radio program. The Pan-American Coffee Bureau (coffee producers, the Brazilian Government, etc.) had a 1948 advertising budget of about $700,000 to aid in the dis- tribution activities of coffee processors, re- tailers, and restaurant owners in the United States. Among trade associations which carried on noteworthy cooperative promotion cam- paigns in 1947-48, the Trailer Coach Manu- facturers Association and the Bicycle In- stitute of America won first prizes in the 1948 contest for "Outstanding Achievement and Service to Industry and the Public," sponsored by the American Trade Associa- tion Executives. Among chambers of com- merce with advertising budgets of over $50,- 000 are a number in such tourist-promotion States as Florida and California. Many state development councils expend $100,000 and more in promoting their areas. Conventions and trade shows An association's cooperative advertising campaign is often based on extensive mar- ket research. It is then attractively pre- sented to the buying public by means of such sales promotion tools or media as magazines, catalogs, direct mail, special booklets, company publications or house organs, newspapers, shopping news, mo- tion pictures, slide films, advertising spe- cialties, outdoor signs, airplane skywriting, window displays, car cards, posters, cir- culars, free samples, telephone and trade directories, radio and television, addresses before business and social organizations, national days or weeks campaigns, pre- miums, package labels, exhibitions and trade shows. Exhibitions of products are featured at many of the Nation's more than 10,000 conventions of businessmen's associations each year, many of which have an attend- ance of one thousand or more. There are eight or more national associations of firms serving various aspects of the great Con- vention and Trade Shows Industry (see Shows and exhibitions, p. 383). A quar- terly report on major forthcoming con- ventions is prepared by the Office of Do- mestic Commerce for the field and coop- erative offices of the Department of Com- merce. Copies may be consulted at these offices, named on page 634. New media A dramatic feature of 1949 advertising in the United States, as well as in a num- ber of other countries, will be its expansion in the television industry. Leaders in the Radio Manufacturers Association and the Television Broadcasters Association pre- dict a 1949 production of 2 million tele- vision sets (the 1947 total was just one- tenth of this number ) . The chief media for the advertising vol- ume of approximately $3 billion in each postwar year have been newspapers (28 to 32 percent), magazines (20 to 22 per- cent), radio and television (15 to 18 per- cent), direct mail (9 to 12 percent), out- door advertising (3 percent), and all other (18 to 20 percent). Industrial advertising by manufacturers has advanced sharply in recent years, according to the National Industrial Advertisers Association in re- porting on present annual expenditures of over $300 million by factory owners. Despite some new advertising media, newspapers and magazines carry well over half of all advertising. It has been esti- mated that advertising supplies about two-thirds of the total income of the Na- tion's 13,000 newspapers and 7,000 mag- azines or periodicals, including the 2,000 daily papers and 4,000 monthly magazines. Total employment of newspapers and mag- azine companies is approximately 200,000 persons. Truth in advertising Farsighted leaders realize that sound ad- vertising must be truthful and that the products whose merits are being publicized must be of consistently high quality. This philosophy brought about the creation of 372 NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES one of the most interesting types of asso- ciations in American business life, the local better business bureau (see p. 461). The trade practice conference program of the Federal Trade Commission is used by many national associations which desire a check-up on their industry's competitive practices, including advertising ethics. International cooperation One interesting phase of cooperation be- tween the businessmen of the United States and those in Canada, England, and other countries, are the cooperative op- portunities furnished by trade and profes- sional associations. In the advertising and publishing field, for example, the leaders in such associations in the United States as those above mentioned keep in fairly close touch with such similar nonprofit cooperative organizations as the following: CANADA. — Association of Canadian Advertisers, Canadian Association of Advertising Agencies, Business Newspapers Association of Canada, Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association, Ca- nadian Circulations Audit Board, Canadian Ad- vertising and Sales Bureau. GREAT BRITAIN.— Advertising Association of the United Kingdom, Newspaper Proprietors Asso- ciation, British Direct Mail Advertising Associa- tion, Periodical Trade Press and Weekly News- paper Proprietors Association, Incorporated Sales Managers Association, the interestingly- named "The Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers," and the Incorporated Society of British Advertisers which reports that it was "established to protect and promote the common interests of buyers of publicity; to secure and authenticate facts regarding circula- tions and advertising values; to watch all devel- opments affecting advertisers, such as legislative, ethical, and economic; to support ar resist these developments by organized cooperation; and to provide data and statistics concerning advertis- ing trade and conditions." Largest and oldest associations Larger-staffed trade associations in this industry include the Association of Na- tional Advertisers (manufacturers of au- tomobiles, foods, drug store items, tobacco, industrial equipment, etc.) and the Amer- ican Association of Advertising Agencies (about 200 large agencies of the Nation's total of approximately 2,000 firms in this field). The ANA is almost 40 years old. The "Four A's" is over 30. The Advertising Fed- eration of America, with which are affili- ated 75 local advertising clubs of local advertising agencies, media men, advertis- ing managers and sales executives through- out the United States, started in 1905 as the Associated Advertising Clubs of Amer- ica, and later operated as the International Advertising Association.

Y. ^section 11 Ji Insurance Associations Ri .EPORTS issued in January 1949 by the Office of Domestic Commerce, contain- ing Social Security Administration statis- tics on all employing firms for early 1947, disclosed approximately 41,000 insurance companies with 586,000 employees. Of these, 114 insurance carriers had 500 or more employees, each. Insurance industry employment includes such specialists as home office workers, agents, brokers, car- riers, solicitors, field men, raters, and ad- justers. The above reports also covered 18,000 combination real estate-insurance offices with approximately 70,000 employ- ees (see Section 9 for data on the real estate industry). Approximately 60 na- tional insurance associations are described on following pages; also included are 20 professional and other organizations closely allied to the insurance field. The assets of insurance companies are ap- proximately $63 billion, according to the Insurance Yearbook (The Spectator, Phila- delphia, Pa. ) , of which life insurance ac- counts for well over $50 billion. The Insti- tute of Life Insurance states that more than $70 billion has been paid out in bene- fits during the past 30 years by life in- surance companies, of which 60 percent was paid to living policy holders. Four insurance companies had assets of $4 to $6 billion, each, in 1947; three others had approximately $2 billion, each. The Fed- eral Government operates the world's larg- est insurance business in its veterans' in- surance and social security programs. Some Leading Employment States in the Insurance Industry. Largest and oldest associations Because of the prominence of the in- surance industry in the Nation's financial structure, the associations in this industry average larger staffs than those of other industry groups. Almost 900 persons are on the combined staffs of the National Board of Fire Underwriters and the Under- writers Laboratories, whose industrial re- search staff of 180 laboratory workers is the Nation's largest among trade associa- tions. Some of the insurance organizations listed below are not trade associations in the sense of carrying on a wide range of mu- tual-aid activities, but are special-purpose groups. Each, however, considers itself a nonprofit, membership-managed organiza- tion. Largest of these is the Factory Insur- ance Association, which acts as a clearing house on special problems for about 100 capital stock fire insurance companies. Listed on the following page are the 10, or more, largest and oldest associations in the insurance industry. 390 INSURANCE ASSOCIATIONS 391 Staff Largest in staff Members Largest in membership Date Oldest 850 National Board of Fire 6,725,000 National Fraternal Con- 1866 National Board of Fire Underwriters and the gress of America.

Association activities The services of insurance associations are illustrated in the following extracts from awards made by American Trade Association Executives for "outstanding as- sociation activities." NATIONAL BOARD OF FIRE UNDERWRITERS. — "For its achievement in keying its fire pre- vention educational work to the War emergency. The Board's 'National Defense Through Fire Defense' campaign constitutes a distinct public service at a time when all forms of conservation are of extreme importance. Two particular points in the program were to seek the enactment of up-to-date fire prevention ordinances in cities throughout the country; and to establish awards for radio stations and newspapers doing the best fire prevention job during 1941. "The cooperation was secured of 700 local asso- ciations of insurance agents for the distribution and display of 300,000 Fire Prevention Posters, as well as many technical and general pamphlets on fire protection in Civilian Defense. Two motion pictures were made: 'Safeguard America Against Fire' and 'Fighting the Fire Bomb,' which have been in constant use." NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION. — "For its success during the war years in bring- ing about closest possible coordination with the War and Navy Departments in lessening loss of life and property by fire, and its aid in making the public increasingly conscious of fire protec- tion and prevention. Affiliated with this impor- tant service and educational organization are more than 150 national and local associations in business and technical fields." The association sponsors Fire Prevention Week, spring clean-up campaigns, and other spe- cial and general fire prevention activities. Since 1924, it has maintained a staff of field engineers to organize, stimulate, and encourage local fire prevention committees to study and improve general fire hazard conditions. The advice and experience of these field men are available to local chambers of commerce, city officials, and fire prevention organizations. Millions of persons carry insurance as members of fraternal organizations, labor unions, racial, farm, and other types of or- ganizations which frequently have insur- ance and beneficial services. One center of information on this type of insurance is the National Fraternal Congress, which acts as a small-staffed bureau for over 100 fraternal and other societies having almost 7 million members. Some 140,000 sales- men are members of the Order of United Commercial Travelers of America, a fra- ternal beneficial association formed in 1888. Each salesman receives a copy of the UCTA monthly magazine, "The Sample Case." Two of the regular trade associa- tions in the insurance field have trade jour- nals carrying advertising: The "American Agency Bulletin" of the National Associa- tion of Insurance Agents has a circulation of 25,000, and the "Life Association News," published by the National Association of Life Underwriters, is sent to the associa- tion's 50,000 members. 392 NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES 60 Trade Associations in the Insurance Industry A HE membership of these 60 organizations is composed entirely or primarily of business firms.

'{( eclton Petroleum, Coal, and Gas Associations At L t the start of 1949, the physical vol- ume of petroleum production in the United States was 65 percent above the 1935-39 average, and coal production was 35 per- cent above that prewar level, according to the Federal Reserve System (see Sta- tistical Supplement). Production figures for 1948, according to the Bureau of Mines, were: 2,012 million barrels of petroleum valued at $3.4 billion; 653 million tons of coal valued at $3.4 billion; and 4,870 million M cubic feet of natural gas valued at $1.2 billion. Coal mining furnished employment to approximately 500,000 during 1948, and the production of crude petroleum and natural gas provided nearly 250,000 jobs. These totals compare, respectively, with 475,000 and 190,000 in 1939. The processing of petroleum and coal products furnished factory jobs at the start of 1949 to an addi- tional 240,000 employees ( of which 170,- 000 were wage workers), compared with 150,000 in 1939. The distribution of these products furnishes large additional employ- ment. In 1939, according to the Census of Retail Trade, there were 240,000 gasoline filling stations furnishing employment to 470,000 employees and proprietors, and 40,000 retail fuel dealers. The largest company in the petroleum industry had more than 100,000 employees in 1948; seven others had more than 25,000 each. Approximately 50 national associations representing the petroleum, coal, and gas industries are listed on following pages. Leading states The leading coal mining States in em- ployment are (1945 data; Bureau of Mines) : West Virginia (101,000 employ- ees), Pennsylvania (96,000), Kentucky (53,000), Illinois (31,000), Alabama (21,- 000), and Ohio (19,000). Almost all an- thracite coal is from Pennsylvania. Six States annually account for about 90 percent of United States petroleum out- put: Texas (over 40 percent) ; California (about 20) ; Louisiana and Oklahoma (8, each) ; and Kansas and Illinois (4 to 6, each). About 15,000 new oil wells have been drilled and brought into production in each postwar year. Huge exploration and development expenditures are con- stantly being made in other countries, such as Latin America and Arabia, by United States firms. The production of natural gas is highly centralized. In 1946, Texas accounted for 44 percent; Louisiana, 14; California, 13; Oklahoma, 9; and West Virginia, 4 percent of total production. However, trade associ- ations in this industry now deal with eco- nomic and related problems in most of the 48 States because of the vast develop- 105 406 NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES nient in recent years of pipe lines (such as the famous "Big Inch" and "Little Big Inch"). A 1949 plan is to bring Texas re- gion gas to New York City. Because of manufacturing (chemical), transportation (tank ship, tank car, pipe line, etc.), and other subsidiaries, some petroleum refining companies have membership in many na- tional trade associations. Association research Trade and professional associations in this group have been leaders in industrial research and trade promotion. According to the National Research Council, the American Gas Association now has 125 re- search workers at its laboratories in Cleve- land and Los Angeles (compared with 35 in 1932 and 105 in 1939), engaged in "test- ing of various types of domestic and com- mercial gas-burning equipment and acces- sories"; the industry-sponsored Institute of Gas Technology, in Chicago, "carries on research in the production, purification, and utilization of oil and coal, manufac- tured gas and natural gas; also research in gas appliance and heater development." The American Gas Association is cred- ited with having the Nation's second larg- est association staff in industrial research. In third place is another association in this industry group, the Anthracite Insti- tute, with 50 researchers in its laboratories near Philadelphia. The Asphalt Institute also maintains a scientific laboratory. The American Petroleum Institute is especially active in marketing and business-trends surveys; and the enormous sums spent by petroleum companies result in constant new products and new uses. Bituminous Coal Research, Inc., is developing cost- saving mining and loading equipment. Magazines All national associations in the coal, pe- troleum, and gas industries issue publica- tions to serve their members' needs. Only a few have formal magazines, carrying ad- vertising. Examples are: Drilling Contrac- tor (American Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors) ; IPAA Monthly (In- dependent Petroleum Association of Amer- ica) ; Petroleum Technology (American In- stitute of Mining and Metallurgical Engi- neers) ; the Bulletin (American Associa- tion of Petroleum Geologists) ; Mining Congress Journal (American Mining Con- gress).

S. Department of Labor (see Statis- tical Supplement). An additional large volume of employment is provided by sum- mer resorts and other seasonal hotels. A recent estimate by a hotel industry trade journal places annual receipts in excess of $2 billion, with about 80 percent as the share of the almost 8,000 establish- ments which have at least 50 rooms. Chief spokesman of the industry is the American Hotel Association and its scores of local affiliated associations. Approximately 25,000 tourist camps, many of them seasonal, are available to the automobile tourist, according to the American Automobile Association. A new type of establishment in this general field is the "Motel," with the American Motor Hotel Association as their national spokes- man. More than one million persons are said to make use of hospital facilities in any Some Leading Employment States in the Hotel Industry. j^B 1 ,^ ^^^L / / | IW1 ^| i ^ 77 \^^L. ^^ ^^^ j \^^~^^r given day of the year.

The largest group in financial returns was mo- tion picture theaters, with 67 percent of total receipts. According to the Motion Pic- ture Association of America, there are now (1949) 18,000 theaters in the United States. Other types of amusement establishments are bowling and skating rinks, professional baseball parks, billiard establishments, race tracks, legitimate theaters, swimming pools, dance studios, and carnivals. Reports issued in January 1949 by the Office of Domestic Commerce, containing Social Security Administration statistics on all employing firms for early 1947, dis- closed approximately 28,000 employing units with 260,000 employees in the amuse- ment, recreation, and related service fields. (A large number of the 45,000 establish- ments in 1939 were owner-operated, with no employees. I Because of the close connection between motion pictures and photographic equip- ment, associations in the photographic in- dustries have been included in this section. Oldest and largest associations The oldest associations of employers in the Amusement group are the Photog- raphers Association of America, formed in 1880, and the International Association of Fairs and Expositions (1889) . Largest in number of members is the Allied States Some Leading Employment States Amusement Industry. in the J ^°*!^> (*o*r •to — * 1 coio ™ ^ /.o»|"*\" t^- /**\ EB> ^ l"*" 5 ^ Association of Motion Picture Exhibitors, representing 3,500 theaters not affiliated with producer companies, in 17 regional associations. Largest in staff of tbe regular trade as- sociations is the Motion Picture Associa- tion of America, with almost 150 em- ployees. A staff of about 200 persons is employed by the National Association of Broadcasters and two somewhat affiliated associations — Broadcast Music, Inc., and Broadcast Measurement Bureau. The Club Managers Association of America is the national voice for many of the approxi- mately 4,000 country clubs and 2,000 city clubs in the United States. About 10 years ago some sentimental students of history decided to try to per- petuate barber shop singing, and launched the Society for the Preservation and En- couragement of Barber Shop Quartet Sing- ing in America. This is now a flourishing organization, with 23,000 members and a headquarters staff of 10 persons. 419 420 NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES 50 Trade Associations in the Amusement and Allied Industries 1 HE membership of each of these 50 organizations is composed entirely or primarily of business firms.

Yet they are of major importance, either directly or indirectly, to businessmen. A number of them are outstanding in their particular segments of American life. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States and the National Association of Manufacturers are the Nation's two largest business groups in some respects. Each has a staff of ap- proximately 400 persons, and with each are affiliated a large number of national and local organizations throughout the country. Largest in direct membership among or- ganizations of businessmen in the United States is the fast-growing United States Junior Chamber of Commerce, claiming 160,000 members of 21 to 35 years of age devoted to civic betterment and allied in- terests, and 1,700 local associations as di- rect affiliates. Newest of outstanding or- ganizations is the 1942-formed Committee for Economic Development, engaged in surveys to further economic stability. The three largest "service clubs," Ki- wanis, Lions, and Rotary, have a total of over 750,000 business and professional men in their 13,000 local clubs. In these clubs, leading spirits in each locality meet at fre- quent luncheons to exchange views and plan local social improvement programs.

Most of their work is carried on without fanfare or public ballyhoo, and it is doubtful if even the people who use their services know what they are all about. And yet these bureaus house an American ideal in action which is one of the most construc- tive forces shaping the whole pattern of business conduct in this country. Years ago, abuses in advertising were a stench in the nostrils of honest people. Quack cures, swin- dles and illegitimate promotion schemes flourished openly, and their false and flamboyant claims packed the pages of many periodicals. To meet 818165°— 49 34 this intolerable situation, a group of farsighted business leaders got together and resolved that business must purge itself of these vicious elements which, destroying public confidence, threatened to undermine the whole system of private enterprise. They resolved that business itself must keep its own house clean; that advertising laws must be framed with teeth in them to prosecute violations; and that business practices must be squarely based on principles of truth, accuracy, and fair play. It was a revival of the old vigilante spirit, with honest men joining hands to fight a corrupt situation that endangered them all. And so vigilance committees were formed in various cities and strict advertis- ing laws were drawn up and put through State legislatures. The local bureaus named below ar« listed with the city name first. 461 462 NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES 85 Better Business Bureaus Akron Better Business Bureau. John L.

HE Census of Agriculture of 1945 covered almost 5.9 million farms. Only 4,460,000 (or 75 percent), however, were commercial farms — that is, farms which were producing products primarily for sale. In number, 14 percent of the almost 5,900,000 farms were classified as livestock farms, 10 percent as dairy, 5 percent as poultry, 2 percent as fruit-and-nut, 32 per- cent as field crop, and 12 percent as gen- eral farms. Most farmers are members of local or regional marketing or purchasing associations, or "farmer cooperatives." The approximately 7,000 of these associations engaged in cooperative selling of farm products have a gross membership of 3 million farmers; the 3,000 associations engaged in the cooperative purchasing of farm equipment and supplies claim a membership of 2 million farm operators. Many of the marketing associations are world famous, and operate their own sales offices in foreign countries. Leading farm production states and counties In agricultural production, California has occupied first place in most postwar years, with more than 2 billion dollars in cash receipts from farm marketings. Iowa, Illinois, Texas, Minnesota, and Wisconsin usually come next in rank, averaging from 1 billion to 2 billion dollars from sales of crops and livestock. Of total farmers' cash receipts, exceeding 30 billion dollars in 1947 and in 1948, approximately 60 per- Some Leading States in Farm Employment. i 1 (*o*T f#\ ^^^p/'*r~~ t — — i *^W&)~ty>dm^ r^mm 12BSTT ^M ^■B^w\rw \ cent is from livestock receipts and 40 per- cent from the sale of crops.

Y. (based on 1945 Census of Agriculture, Department of Commerce). 470 FAKMKRS ASSOCIATIONS 471 Agricultural statistics Detailed current statistics and bulletins on farm production are issued by tbe De- partment of Agriculture. A recent book, 1949 Agricultural Outlook Charts (90 pages, 45 cents, available from tbe Govern- ment Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C), issued by the Department in late 1948, is a helpful report to associations of farmers and food manufacturers and dis- tributors. A few quotations are given be- low. Of special interest to trade association executives is the statement that 35 percent of the producing units controlled 80 per- cent of output. In 1945, the upper third of all farms in the United States produced 80 percent of the total value. The lower third (almost 2 million farms) produced 4 percent. Farm employment has heen going down, farm output up, and output per worker has increased materially. Along with mechanical aids, farmers are using more fertilizer, hetter animal husbandry, new plant varieties, better rotations, and many conserva- tion practices. In agriculture, prices have fallen somewhat from record highs. Prices of industrial goods also are high and, if the past is any guide, they may decline less — and more slowly — than agricultural prices in the event of a recession. The retail value of farm food products is ex- pected to increase to around 37 billion dollars in 1948. However, farmers are expected to receive little, if any, more than in 1947. The Nation's bill for marketing farm food products was 15.5 billion dollars in 1947; may total 17.5 billion dollars in 1948. In 1947, of the retail value of 34.9 billion dollars, farmers received 19.4 billion dollars. Regional farmer cooperatives The Federal Government's center of in- formation on farmer cooperatives is the Farm Credit Administration, United States Department of Agriculture. The Coopera- tive Research and Service Division of FCA maintains files on the 10,000 farmer coop- eratives mentioned above and on other types of farmers organizations. No direc- tory has been issued for some years, but frequent reports are published on farmer cooperative problems in general, as well as on specific commodity fields. In addition to the more than 40 national farmer cooperative associations included in the list on following pages, there are a number of exceptionally large regional organizations. Listed below are 20 exam- ples of farm marketing associations and 7 of farm purchasing organizations: Marketing Central California Beet Growers Association, Stock- ton, Calif.

National associations Among the Nation's largest associations in all fields are the leading organizations of farmers included in the list on following pages. The American Farm Bureau Feder- ation claims well over 1.2 million farm families as members (representing a much larger number of persons). The National Grange has more than 800,000 individual members, and the National Farmers Union has almost 500,000 farm-family members. The chief services of these organizations at the local level include educational, pro- motional, and social activities. Affiliates of some farmers organizations also engage in processing basic farm products. Large memberships and staffs The number of local area affiliates of farm groups is exceedingly large. The American Farm Bureau leads, with 18,000 locals. Approximately 8,000 organizations are affiliated with both the Grange and the Farmers Union. The American Institute of Cooperation is the center of educational activities of farm co-ops. The 4-H Clubs claim 1.7 million members in 75,000 local clubs of farm youth ; see p. 149. The Future Farmers of America have 240,000 members in 6,500 locals devoted to vocational farm training. The newest organization is the National Flying Farmers Association, with 5,000 members. Some 3,000 county agents, who operate on the front lines for the Department of Agriculture, are said to hold membership in the National Associ- ation of County Agricultural Agents. Almost 5,000 local groups are tied in with the National Council of Farmer Co- operatives, the Nation's largest federation of national and local organizations which carry on cooperative buying and selling as their principal activity. The 1949 volume of business of NCFC affiliates may total 3 billion dollars. The California Fruit Growers Exchange was formed in 1893 and has a paid staff of 650 persons. The Na- tional Apple Institute is composed of re- gional associations of orchard-operating farmers. The Flue Cured Tobacco Cooper- ative Stabilization Corporation has 300,000 members who are following one of the Stabilization programs initiated by the Department of Agriculture. Several other large tobacco co-ops are listed on follow- ing pages. One of the oldest cooperative groups is the American Poultry Association, formed in 1873. The California Walnut Growers Association has a staff of 65 persons carry- ing on mutual-aid services, which include a large volume of export trade, for its over 9,000 farmer members. The Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association is a major fac- tor in the sugar industry and has a staff of almost 300 employees. Outstanding in legis- lative research and Government relations is the National Cooperative Milk Produc- ers Federation. In the livestock field are such strong groups as the American Na- tional Live Stock Association, National Live Stock Producers Association, Amer- ican Pork Producers Association, and Pro- ducers Livestock Commission Association.

Those listed below include the larger ones of which the compiling office has record. The oldest is one of the Masonic groups, formed in 1801. Among the largest in membership, with more than a million members each, are the Masons, Independ- ent Order of Odd Fellows, and Fraternal Order of Eagles. The Benevolent Order of Elks reports just under a million mem- bers, and the Loyal Order of Moose, 900,000. The National Fraternal Congress is a small coordinating agency of over 100 insurance benefit societies, with a total membership of nearly 7 million persons. The Order of De Molay, which includes boys of 13 to 21 years of age, claims 1,700,000 members, as does the Order of Eastern Star. Some fraternal groups have a large num- ber of local chapters scattered throughout the United States: Modern Woodmen has over 8,000 locals; Knights of Pythias, 3,000; Knights of Columbus, 2,700; and Improved Order of Redmen, 2,200. The Order of Eastern Star claims almost 11,000 local chapters. 25 Fraternal Organizations Association and chief paid official Paid staff and year formed Number of members Address Ancient Order of Hibernians in Amer- ica.

Cfecfam a=i Ji Labor Unions L LN EARLY 1949, 16 to 17 million men and women were members of labor unions, and 60 to 70 thousand local organizations were affiliated with the approximately 200 unions of Nation-wide scope. From 1920 to 1937, union membership varied from 3 to 5 million. It rose sharply to 9 million in 1940, and 11 million in 1943. Unionization by fields of employment The extent of unionization in different industries varies widely. Manufacturing and mining are highly unionized, whereas the trade, service, and agricultural fields, on the whole, are not. According to the Department of Labor, union members com- prise more than 40 percent of that portion of the labor force in which unions have concentrated their organizing efforts. This portion excludes agricultural workers, do- mestic help, the self-employed, and other smaller segments of the labor force which, at least until recently, were not susceptible to trade union activities. In some indus- tries, such as steel, automobiles, printing, construction, mining, and transportation (rail, bus, and trucking), most workers are union members. Other industries, such as cotton textiles, foodstuffs, and services (laundries, hotels, restaurants), are only partly, and probably less than 50 percent, organized. In the listing below data are given on the number of national unions and their membership by broad unofficial industry groups, to conform roughly to the Industry Sections in Part I. Labor relations services of trade associations Special exemptions from anti-trust law restrictions on certain cooperative activi- ties have been granted to labor and farm associations by congressional legislation.

Employer opposition and unfavorable public opinion dampened but did not defeat the recruit- ment of new union members. . . . Passage of the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947 stirred organized labor to renewed efforts in the field of Political "education" and activity. . . . The American Federation of Labor in October 1947 established "Labor's League for Political Edu- cation." The CIO (Congress of Industrial Organiza- tions) revitalized its Political Action Committee. The railroad unions created their own political league. International developments On the international front, labor's wartime in- terest in foreign affairs found peacetime outlets. Representatives of American unions assisted the United States Military Government to reorganize shattered labor groups in the occupied countries. Food, clothing, and supplies were furnished by American workers to help relieve suffering and destitution. . . . Roth the AFL and the CIO urged the passage of the Marshall Plan. Abroad, representatives of the AFL and the CIO joined in March 1948 with labor groups from western Euro- pean countries in a significant conference to con- sider problems of relief and rehabilitation. In the Pacific, both the AFL and the CIO have assisted in the establishment of a democratic Japanese trade-union movement. . . . In 1948, the AFL, the Railway Labor Executives Association, and the International Association of Machinists joined with labor movements from a number of Latin American countries to establish the "Inter-American Labor Confederation." Number and structure of unions As it exists today, organized labor in the United States is made up of autonomous national and in- ternational unions which, in turn, are composed of local organizations of workers in various crafts, trades, professions, and industries. Most of the na- tional or international unions are affiliated with either the American Federation of Labor or the Congress of Industrial Organizations. . . . Several other unions have at various times belonged to either the AFL or CIO but have withdrawn or been expelled. All of these unaffiliated unions are com- monly known as "independents." 60,000 to 70,000 locals The number of local unions chartered by parent or national unions is not known precisely but is estimated as between 60,000 and 70,000. Some na- tional unions have very few local branches or chapters, while others have over a thousand and in a few instances more than twice that number. About half of the (200) national unions . . . have less than 100 locals each. . . . Unions are frequently classified as "craft" or "industrial." Very few American unions, however, now fall clearly within either of these two types. Many unions are better described as "amalgamated" or "multi-craft" because they include two or more skilled and semi-skilled groups. Other unions are better described as "semi-industrial" because, al- though they may include all production workers within an industry, they frequently exclude certain maintenance, technical, or clerical groups. Gener- ally, most AFL unions tend towards the craft or multi-craft type . . . while most CIO unions are more readily classified as industrial or semi- industrial. . . . List of 200 national labor unions The first three organizations named be- low are the foremost federated groups of labor unions in the United States. The remainder are listed by industry groups to correspond insofar as possible with the 15 Industry Sections in Part I. Within the industry groups, the names are listed al- phabetically with the key word given first (following the procedure used in the Labor Department directory). Those affili- ated with the American Federation of Labor or Congress of Industrial Organiza- tions are marked "AFL" or "CIO." Inde- pendent unions are marked "Ind."

There are many large organizations, with hun- dreds of local affiliates, which have played an important part in the economic and social progress of colored people. At the time of the last census of population (1940), 5 states had approximately 1 mil- lion Negroes each: Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, North Carolina, and Texas. Six others had from 500,000 to over 800,000 each: Louisiana, South Carolina, Virginia, New York, Florida, and Tennessee. Kinds of associations Formed in 1909, the National Associa- tion for the Advancement of Colored People (500,000 members in 900 branches) has carried on a wide range of helpful services. Among its stated objectives are, "To secure for Negroes equality of oppor- tunity with other citizens; to conduct re- search and publish facts concerning edu- cational facilities and opportunities for Negroes." Its monthly magazine is Tbe Crisis ($1.50 per year). The National Urban League works "To promote inter- racial organization and action; to carry on demonstration projects aimed at relieving racial tensions and improving welfare serv- ices to Negroes in selected industrial com- munities throughout the country." Its quarterly is Opportunity; Journal of Negro Life ($1.50 per year). Some Leading States in Negro Population. Among trade associations representing companies in one field of business are the National Association of Negro Tailors, Designers, Dressmakers and Dry Cleaners, National Negro Bankers Association, and the National Negro Insurance Association. The National Negro Business League claims 350 local chapters. The National Bar Association is the spokesman for Negro lawyers; other pro- fessional organizations include the Na- tional Medical Association and the Na- tional Dental Association. Sixty-four col- leges are represented in the National Asso- ciation of Collegiate Deans and Registrars in Negro Schools, while 80,000 members comprise the National Congress of Col- ored Parents and Teachers. The National Technical Association sponsors engineer- ing studies. The National Council of Negro Women has had an exceptional growth since its 498 NEGRO ASSOCIATION* 499 formation in 1935, and hopes soon to reach the 1,000,000 mark in membership. Affili- ates include many national and local groups; civic, church, fraternal, educa- tional, industrial, and professional. Its quarterly is the "Aframerican Womans Journal." Oldest of the associations in the follow- ing list are the National Medical Associa- tion, organized in 1895, and the National Association of Colored Women, in 1896. Among the foundations which have as- sisted in the educational, social, and other progress of colored people are the Carne- gie Foundation (library facilities). Rocke- feller Foundation (health), Phelps-Stokes Fund (one project includes the "Encyclo- pedia of the Negro"), and the Julius Rosenwald Fund (famous for its 1917-47 programs to assist Negroes and white people in southern rural communities and to improve Negro-white relationships). A large number of national associations, not included in the following list, have both white and colored members. For more complete data on Negro or- ganizations and Negro accomplishments, see the authoritative Negro Year Book, published by Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala.

Generally speaking, the associations are interdenominational in their membership, whereas the bodies include churches of a particular denomination. The associations are concerned primarily with religious matters, with the exception of a few groups which specialize in social welfare activities. The oldest association listed is the American Bible Society, formed in 1816. Among those having staffs of over 100 persons are the American Bible Society, American Friends Service Com- mittee, Church World Service, Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, National Catholic Welfare Con- ference, and the National Conference of Christians and Jews. The International Society of Christian Endeavor has 4,500 local societies; the United Council of Church Women, 1,600 local chapters; and the International Council of Religious Education, 33 State councils. The names and membership figures for the religious bodies are from the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, which issues a biennial Yearbook of Amer- ican Churches, and the Christian Herald Magazine (August 1948 issue; 27 East 39th St., New York 16, N. Y. ), which makes an annual survey of church membership. These bodies are of major importance as leaders of spiritual progress. They are also a part of the business life of the country in that they are owners of large properties, are active in the publishing of books, mag- azines, and bulletins, and hold meetings and conferences of importance in social welfare and allied matters. The 60 bodies listed on following pages are reported to have 50,000 or more mem- bers, each. They claim a total membership of approximately 75 million persons, or over 95 percent of the membership of the more than 200 bodies named in the Year- book lists. As stated in the Yearbook and Christian Herald, the membership figures in a few cases are from the latest official Census of Religious Bodies (1936) ; at that time there were approximately 200,000 churches with a total of 56 million mem- bers. 502 RELIGIOUS ASSOCIATIONS AND BODIKS 503 20 Religious Associations Association and chief paid official 1'aid Btaff and \c;ir formed Number of members Address American Association of Schools of Religions Education.

Ye ectwn State Organizations and City Chambers of Commerce A CONSIDERABLE proportion of the small business establishments in the United States hold membership in the more than 10,000 State and local associations located throughout the United States, rather than in associations of national scope. Most States have groups which endeavor to act as the State-wide voice of local associations of business men, especially in dealings with State and local governments. There are also State chambers of commerce which endeavor to represent the coordi- nated thinking of the large number of local chambers. Associations of this type are given in the following list. They include State cham- bers of commerce, State associations of manufacturers and of retailers, State or- ganizations of commercial organization ex- ecutives, and the development boards or planning commissions established by State Governments to assist all fields of business. In addition, the chambers of commerce have been listed for the larger cities of most of the States. There are more than 4,000 local cham- bers of commerce, boards of trade, and other community development associations in the United States, with an aggregate membership estimated at over one million. About 60 percent, including the leading ones, have membership in the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. The Cham- ber's Commercial Development Depart- ment issues helpful booklets on the organ- ization and operation of such agencies. The chambers of commerce in the larger cities often have staffs of 25 to 50, and over, and more than 5,000 members. These organiza- tions are supported by persons and firms interested in improved local government, health conditions, community upbuilding, and other civic betterment programs. Di- rectories of local chambers are published annually by the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York, 65 Liberty Street, New York City. Copies are available on request. 521 522 NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES 200 State Organizations (and 280 local chambers of commerce) ALABAMA (2,848,000 population in 1948): State-wide: Alabama State Chamber of Commerce, P. 0.

The number of potential beneficiaries includes approximately 15 million veterans of World War II and 4 million of other wars, as well as an unde- termined number of dependents. Largest of the veterans associations is the American Legion, founded in France in 1919. The Legion claims well over 3 million members, 15,000 local chapters or posts, and a staff of about 500 people. The 1899-formed Veterans of Foreign Wars re- ports a total of 8,000 locals. Memberships of from 100,000 to 200,000 each are re- ported by the Disabled American Veterans (formed in 1920), the American Veterans' Committee (1944), and the American Vet- erans of World War II (1944). The United Spanish War Veterans (formed in 1904) has 70,000 on its rolls, and the Reserve Officers' Association has almost 90,000. Women 's organizations Several veterans' organizations have large women's auxiliaries; almost 1 million hold membership in the American Legion, and 400,000 in the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Organizations composed entirely of women include the National Yeoman F and the Women World War Veterans. Association activities The programs of veterans groups include social activities, furthering of world peace programs but maintenance of adequate de- fense safeguards, legislation on behalf of veterans and their dependents, youth bet- terment activities, and Americanization. Armed Forces-Industrial Associations The following list is divided into three parts: Veterans and Miliary Associations; Armed Forces- Industrial Associations; and Associations Allied to the Military. Organi- zations in the second group include in their membership business firms whose products are extensively used by the particular branch of the Armed Forces represented. 534 VETERANS, MILITARY, AM) ALLIED ASSOCIATIONS 60 Veterans, Military, and Allied Associations 335 I etsraiu and Military Issociations Air Force Aid Society (1012).

C. wn Women's Organizations 5L ROM the start of business life in this country, women have been the largest pur- chasers of consumer goods. Today, they own an estimated two-thirds of the Nation's wealth, and represent a large proportion of persons employed in offices and stores. Since winning the suffrage in 1920, they have played a more and more active part in political life. National organizations of women, therefore, cover a wide variety of fields. Large associations Outstanding in size of staff, with 100 or more employees each, are the Young Wom- en's Christian Associations and the Girl Scouts of America; and, with somewhat smaller staffs, the General Federation of Women's Clubs, National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs, National Congress of Parents and Teach- ers, American Association of University Women, American Home Economics Asso- ciation, Association of Junior Leagues of America, National Women's Christian Temperance Union, National League of Nursing Education, Camp Fire Girls, and the Daughters of the American Revolution. A feature of many women's organizations is the large number of active local chapters. These are found in some of the leading organizations having a primary interest in economic problems: GENERAL FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS, formed in 1890, has more than 3 million mem- bers and 16,000 local clubs. A list of its major activities is included in tbe association list. NATIONAL FEDERATION OF BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL WOMEN'S CLUBS has more than 2,000 local affiliated clubs. The "Federa- tion" coordinates the programs of its very active locals, whose committees cover such subjects as public affairs, legislation pertaining to women, international affairs, civic betterment, and health. AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN, which will soon celebrate its fiftieth anniversary, has more than 1,000 local branches. Its headquarters office develops adult education programs, issues material to assist its local groups in the fields of social studies, interna- tional relations, economic and legal status of women, the arts, etc. Social study programs in- clude community planning, urban redevelop- ment, government-industry relations, and health and welfare services. NATIONAL CONGRESS OF PARENTS AND TEACHERS. Although both men and women comprise the membership of this outstanding or- ganization, the major part of its program of ac- tivities is carried on by women. It was formed in 1897 to promote the welfare of children and youth in the home, school, and community. Its 4,500,000 members are affiliated with 28,000 local units. Among other organizations which have a large number of local affiliates are the United Council of Church Women, Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, Future Homemakers of America, National Council of Catholic Women, Linked Daughters of the Confederacy, Woman's International Bowling Congress, and League of Women Voters of the United States. 537 538 NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES New and old organizations The newest organization listed is the National Association of Consumers, formed in 1947 to "help raise and conserve the standard of living through consumer ac- tion." It now has over 30 chapters and affiliated groups. Two of the oldest organi- zations are the Order of the Eastern Star and the National Women's Christian Tem- perance Union, both formed more than 70 years ago. 115 Women's Organizations Paid staff Association and chief paid official and year Number of Address formed members Altrusa International.

Part III OTHER TYPES OF ORGANIZATIONS This section includes summarized text describing advertising, civic, cooperative, educational, engineering, small business, social welfare, and other organizations not covered in Parts I and II; also, trade association magazines, comentions. trade 9hows, and trade directories. Other Types of Organizations J. HIS part consists of brief notes on a number of special types of organizations not covered in previous parts. Some of tbe organizations discussed are in special fields of business, otbers are of a professional, educational, or welfare nature. References to leading sources of information are in- cluded. ADVERTISING CLUBS Advertising clubs are found in most lead- ing cities. Tbey are often of a "luncheon club" type, without a full-time paid staff or a full program. Membership includes tbe higher officials of advertising agency firms, trade papers, newspapers, adver- tisers, and related groups. Among the prin- cipal objectives of these clubs are the promotion of the "truth-in-advertising" movement, the adoption of the model "Printers' Ink" State law, and the estab- lishment of local better business bureaus I see sec. 16). More than 75 local adver- tising clubs are affiliated with tbe Adver- tising Federation of America (formerly, the Associated Advertising Clubs of Amer- ica). Several hundred advertising and journal- ism associations of national or local scope in the I'nited States and Canada are listed in the 1948 annual edition of Editor and Publisher magazine, entitled International Year Book Number. Typical of advertising clubs in any State are the nine shown for Ohio: Advertising Club of Akron, Dayton Advertising Club, the advertising clubs of Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Lima, and Toledo, and tbe women's advertising clubs of Cleveland and Toledo. The following excerpt from tbe State- ment of Advertising Principles of the Ad- vertising Federation of America sum- marizes the- chief values of good adver- tising: Good advertising aims to inform the consumer and help him to buy more intelligently. Good advertising tells the truth, avoiding mis- statement of facts as well as possible deception through implication or omission. It makes no claims which cannot be met in full and without further qualification. It uses only testimonials of competent witnesses. Good advertising recognizes both its economic responsibility to help reduce distribution costs, and its social responsibility in serving tbe public interest. CIVIC ASSOCIATIONS In a broad sense, a civic association is any nonpartisan group of citizens who have associated themselves for tbe further- ance of some public cause. I nder this heading could be listed chambers of com- merce, citizens leagues, taxpayers or vot- ers clubs, municipal leagues, playground associations, parent-teachers associations, boards of trade, merchants associations, commercial clubs, and good government bureaus. The more important ones are listed in the annual Municipal Index, 470 Fourth Avenue, New York 16, N. Y. Local groups are often affiliated with such national organizations as tbe Ameri- can Planning and Civic Association, Amer- ican Public Welfare Association, Cham- ber of Commerce of the I nited States, National Municipal League, National Rec- reation Association, National League of Women Voters, National Safety Council, National Tax Association. National Health 355 556 NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES Council, Public Ownership League of America, Government Research Associa- tion, Smoke Prevention Association of the United States, and the Public Administra- tion Clearing House. "Service Clubs" (such as Kiwanis, Lions, and Rotary) and locals of organizations such as the YMCA and the American Le- gion are also active in all or special phases of civic betterment. CONVENTIONS National trade association* conventions have become a major factor in American business progress. Standard sources list over 1,000 meetings of business, social and labor organizations held every month in the United States. Featured at forthcom- ing 1949 meetings will be such subjects as the European Recovery Program, Supply and Demand Trends, Labor Relations, Na- tional Defense, Production Techniques, Marketing Research, Salesmen Training, and Government Relations. A typical trade association convention program includes 2 days of searching "clinical" analysis of each major current problem of industry; addresses by leading industry members, and often by profes- sional and Government experts, generally followed by extensive floor discussion and panel discussions, where small groups can intensively survey specialized problems. Industrial exhibitions of latest postwar products of the industry and of related industries are becoming increasingly pop- ular. Visits are often made by the convention delegates to typical manufacturing plants and industrial laboratories in the conven- tion city. Such local business-promotion tours are usually arranged by the local chamber of commerce in cooperation with local trade associations. Some conventions of only 200 businessmen will bring $20,- 000 or more into a city in a 3-4-day period, and future business arrangements with lo- cal manufacturers or distributors. Most delegates remain over for a day or two of deserved recreation — golf, etc., be- come the "problems of the day." Then — back to business — with new ideas and new friends. Of 500 larger conventions in late 1948, 6 percent had 10,000 and more in attend- ance; 3 percent had 5,000 to 10,000; 17 percent had 1,000 to 5,000; 37 percent had 300 to 1,000; 36 percent had less than 300. Statistical and economic information compiled by the Department of Commerce is used extensively at such meetings and trade shows. The Department's field offices in 42 business centers have latest business- trends information, available on request, and will endeavor to arrange displays of publications of special interest to a par- ticular industry. Copies of the quarterly report on Association Conventions, pre- pared in the office of Domestic Commerce by the Trade Association Division, may be consulted at all Department of Commerce field offices. Leading sources of information on con- ventions, trade shows, and related subjects are World Convention Dates magazine (Hendrickson Publishing Co., 26 Court Street, Brooklyn 2, N. Y. ; monthly, with weekly supplements, $20 a year), which covers over 17,000 United States conven- tions each year; and Convention and Trade Shows Magazine (Ambassador Hotel, At- lantic City, N. J.; monthly, with a quar- terly Convention and Trade Show Direc- tory, $10 a year). Leading association centers include the Exhibitors Advisory Council (the national association of larger exhibitors), Interna- tional Association of Convention Bureaus (with local bureaus in all larger cities), International Association of Fairs and Ex- positions (chiefly agricultural fairs in the larger cities), National Association of Ex- hibit Managers, National Association of Display Industries, Exhibit Producers and Designers Association, Hotel Sales Manage- ment Association, and International Asso- ciation of Auditorium Managers. OTHER TYPES OE ORGANIZATIONS 557 COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATIONS The term "cooperative association" is often used in a narrow sense to denote nonprofit organizations of consumers or of farmers. However, all types of the almost 4,000 nonprofit organizations named in this book are cooperative associations. Consumer associations usually include such groups as retail store cooperatives, insurance and burial societies, building and loan leagues, some farmers coopera- tives, and credit unions. Among leading organizations are the Cooperative League of the United States and National Cooper- atives, Inc. (its merchandising agency), with joint offices at 343 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, 111. With these two organi- zations are affiliated some 5,000 local asso- ciations of consumers who own and operate almost 6,000 retail stores. Surveys of consumer organizations are made by the U. S. Department of Labor, Washington 25, D. C. An article in the November 1948 Monthly Labor Review, "Operations of Consumer Organizations," by Florence S. Parker, states: : An all-time high in hoth membership and busi- ness was reached by the consumer:- cooperative movement in the United States in 1947. The com- bined business of the retail distributive coopera- tives exceeded a billion dollars. Local service asso- ciation business vvas over $25 million. Tables in tbe article cover: 4,000 retail associations, with 2.2 million members; 2,000 insurance associations, with 11.2 mil- lion members; 1,000 electric light and power associations, with 2.1 million mem- bers: and 33,000 telepbone associations, with 0.7 million members. The National Association of Consumers, a coordinating agency for activities on con- sumer problems, formed in 1947, states as its objectives: Our long-range objective is to help raise and conserve the standards of living of the American people through consumer action. We seek (1) to promote the organization and education of con- sumers: (2) to gain consumer representation in agencies of government — city. State, and Federal; (3) to secure the recognition of consumer interests S1S165"— 49 40 in programs of business, agriculture, and labor, designed to shape and direct the American econ- omy; and (4) to gain official consumer recognition by the United Nations and by its constituent coun- cils and commissions which deal with consumer welfare. Another type of consumer organization is represented by the consumer leagues, organizations of retail purcbasers inter- ested in such problems as improved work- ing conditions. Their activities include surveys of conditions under which various articles are produced, action against sweat- shop conditions, and related programs. Many are affiliated with the National Con- sumers League, National Women's Trade Union League, American Association for Labor Legislation, and similar groups. Annual surveys of farmers cooperatives (buying and selling organizations) are made by the Farm Credit Administration, Washington 25, D. C. CREDIT ASSOCIATIONS Such groups are of four general types: ( 1 ) The approximately 10,000 local credit unions of savings-lending cooperatives for small personal loans, such as those affili- ated with the Credit Union National Asso- ciation. At the end of 1947, nearly 31/2 million persons were members of credit unions, and assets exceeded 500 million dollars. Loans to members during the year totaled 456 million dollars. These figures represent increases over 1946 of 10.5 per- cent in members, 19.4 percent in assets, and 56.5 percent in loans made. By the start of 1948, membership and business had reached and passed the prewar peak, al- though there still were fewer credit coop- eratives than in 1942. An all-time peak in membership, assets, and total business was reached in 1948. (2) Almost 7,000 local building and loan associations which are home-financing co- operatives, formed to encourage thrift and promote home ownership. The national spokesmen for these groups are the United States Savings and Loan League and the National Savings and Loan League. 558 NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES (3) Cooperative local credit groups of retail stores comprising the Associated Credit Bureaus of America, some of which also act as collection agencies. A large part of the over 2,100 ACBA credit bureaus are owned by nonprofit associations of local merchants; some are privately owned. There are also local associations of whole- salers, banks, etc., which are usually affili- ated with the National Association of Credit Men. The broad field of credit or- ganizations would include associations in the banking and insurance fields. (4) A minority of trade associations op- erate their own credit bureaus. Many affili- ate their credit departments with such organizations as the National Association of Credit Men, Associated Retail Credit Bureau of America, and the National Re- tail Credit Association. EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS Most scientific and professional organiza- tions and numerous other groups state their purpose as being primarily research and educational. In a more restricted sense, however, educational associations include the more than 200 national associations of schools, colleges, universities, teachers, and libraries, and the several thousand local chapters and organizations directly con- cerned with the Nation's educational fields. Among foremost national organizations are the American Council on Education and the National Education Association (see sec. 15). The standard directory of educational groups is the annual bulletin, Educational Associations and Directories, issued by the United States Office of Education, Federal Security Agency, Washington 25, D. C. EMPLOYERS ASSOCIATIONS An employer association, in the special- ized use of the term, is an organization of employers whose principal activity is in labor relations, such as the Full-Fashioned Hosiery Manufacturers of America and the National Metal Trades Association. Other examples include many of the several hun- dred national and local organizations which make up the National Industrial Council. Generally, employers associations are composed of firms in many fields of industry, rather than in one principal com- modity field as are trade associations. State and local employers associations include such groups as the Associated Industries of Alabama, California Manufacturers As- sociation, Minnesota Employers Associa- tion, and the Columbia (Oreg. ) Empire Industries. ENGINEERING ASSOCIATIONS More than 50 engineering associations are listed in section 1. An interesting phase of the membership of such associations is that in some cases several thousand junior members are college students. Annual dues in a number of associations range from $10 to $25 for regular members, and from $5 to $10 for junior members. The entire building at 29-33 West 39th Street, New York, N. Y., is owned jointly by a number of the larger engineering societies. Two coordinating agencies at this address are the Engineers Council for Pro- fessional Development and the United En- gineering Trustees, Inc. Engineering asso- ciation journals and bulletins are generally of a high order, and have an international circulation of considerable size. For some associations, the paid staff num- bers 25 or more, and in a few it exceeds 50 persons. Among the larger associations, the oldest is the American Society of Civil Engineers, formed in 1852. Of its 24,000 members, approximately one-third are reg- ular members, one-third are associate mem- bers, and one-third are junior members. Its staff of some 80 employees devotes much of its time to the preparation of a wide variety of reports. Among ASCE publications are the monthly Civil Engi- neering, the monthly Proceedings, the an- nual Transactions, a series of pamphlets on engineering practices, and a year book. There are committees or divisions on en- OTHK.K TYPES OF ORGANIZATIONS 559 gineering education, publications, registra- tion, fees, salaries, various research proj- ects, city planning, construction, highway, hydraulics, irrigation, power, engineering- economics, sanitary engineering, structural, soil mechanics and foundations, surveying and mapping, waterways, air transport. The ahove summary of ASCE activities is applicable to some extent to most of the larger technical societies having 10,000 or more members, and staffs of 25 or more employees — such as the American Foun- drymen's Association (formed in 1896), American Institute of Electrical Engineers (1884), American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers (1871), American Society of Tool Engineers (1932). Newest among the national societies is the Society of Plastics Engineers, organized in 1941; this society has branch chapters in all large cities, as have most associations of engineers. In the field of standardization are such outstanding agencies as the American Standards Association (with a staff of about 100), formed in 1918 by the American Society for Testing Materials and similar societies. Among many others active in standardization are the American Associa- tion of State Highway Officials, American Institute of Electrical Engineers, American Societv of Mechanical Engineers, Ameri- can Specification Institute, and the Society of Automotive Engineers. All these organ- izations work in cooperation with the Na- tional Bureau of Standards of the Depart- ment of Commerce. The National Council of State Boards of Engineering Examiners, formed in 1920. plays an important part in maintaining the high standards of the engineering profes- sion. A few examples of the major purposes of associations of engineers follow: American Society of Heating and Venti- lating Engineers. As one of its services, it supervises the investigation, collection, tabulation, and coordination of existing data and records of subjects pertaining to the art of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning. When the need is sufficient to warrant research or testing, it devises a plan for such procedure. It has estab- lished and maintains a research laboratory and negotiates with universities, colleges, and other organizations provided with lab- oratories for cooperative research and test- ing work. American Society of Mechanical Engi- neers. Operates divisions covering aviation, applied mechanics, management, materials handling, oil and gas power, fuels, graphic arts, hydraulics, metals engineering, heat transfer, process industries, production en- gineering, machine design, consulting en- gineering, railroad, power, textile, wood industries, rubber and plastics, industrial instruments. The purpose of ASME is to promote the art and science of mechanical engineering and the allied arts and sci- ences; to encourage original research; to foster engineering education; to advance the standards of engineering; to promote intercourse of engineers among themselves and with allied technologists; and severally and in cooperation with other engineering and technical societies, to broaden the use- fulness of the engineering profession. Society of Automotive Engineers. Has technical committees on aircraft engines, aircraft propellers, automotive designing, bearings, brakes, construction and indus- trial machinery, electrical equipment, iron and steel, nonferrous metals, tractors, etc. The purpose of SAE is to promote the arts and sciences, standards and engineering practices connected with the design, con- struction and utilization of automotive ap- paratus, all forms of self-propelled or me- chanically-propelled mediums for the trans- portation of passengers or freight, and internal-combustion prime-movers. FEDERATIONS A number of trade associations use the word "federation" in their titles, and others are popularly called federations. Yet only a few serve as the directing head of the activities of affiliated organizations. In 560 NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES most cases, each affiliated group is com- pletely independent in its own geographi- cal or industrial field. The federation usually serves as a coordinating agency for the study of, and coordinated action on, broad national problems. Usually, it is also the specialized agency for legis- lative research, tariff studies, or trade pro- motion. Some federations have far smaller staffs and annual revenues than a number of their affiliates. Examples of stronger federations among trade association are the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association and the Ameri- can Paper and Pulp Association. Each is adequately staffed and carries on a wide program of activities for the some 15 national associations which finance the co- ordinating body. Members of the Southern Pine Association, the Western Pine Asso- ciation, and all other lumber mill organiza- tions are competitors for that part of the consumer's dollar expended for lumber. Yet all use the services of the NLMA in its specialized fields, and the NLMA is fre- quently successful in gaining full, or rea- sonably full, agreement among the com- peting associations on broad national and international matters. The Associated General Contractors of America has affiliations with almost 100 local and regional associations, yet each acts with entire independence. This also applies to the 20 national and 30 State associations in the American Retail Fed- eration. The ARF receives almost all its financial revenue from individual member firms, such as large department stores and syndicates; the dues of its association mem- bers are nominal. The Chamber of Com- merce of the United States receives only a small part of its annual revenues from the 2,500 local chambers and 550 national and local trade associations which have organization memberships in the National Chamber. Each of the 350 associations of employers comprising the National Indus- trial Council is completely autonomous, as are the 120 associations of professional men and women in the American Council on Education; the 50 technical and trade as- sociations having membership in the Amer- ican Standards Association; the associa- tions of farmers in the National Coopera- tive Milk Producers Federation; and the social welfare associations in the National Social Work Council. On the other hand, liaison is maintained on an almost day-to-day basis between most of the associations comprising the Public Administrative Clearing House and the Public Administrative Service, for PAIS and PAS are housed in one building in Chicago which is entirely occupied by the 15 or so national associations of public officials which comprise these two coordi- nating and servicing agencies. Joint sec- retarial, library, and publishing arrange- ments, combined with frequent formal and informal conferences, result in bringing about greater coordination and prevention of overlapping, than is usually found among loosely-joined national organiza- tions. FOREIGN ASSOCIATIONS Trade associations, professional societies, farmers cooperatives, labor unions and all other types of nonprofit, cooperative asso- ciations which flourish in the United States also exist — in varying degrees of popular- ity — in all other democratic nations. Among many sources of information on such associations are the standard encyclo- pedias. The popular year-book type of pub- lication issued in most countries, similar to the annual world Almanac in the United States, usually includes lists of the leading national organizations in each country. In England, for example, the annual Whitaker Almanac includes a list of Great Britain's larger associations: Federation of British Industries, Association of Britisb Chamber of Commerce, and so on. In Canada, the Department of Labor at Ottawa compiles directories including em- ployee and employer associations. The 1947 directory (270 pages) includes a compre- OTHER TYPES OF ORGANIZATIONS 561 hensive text and lists of labor, trade, agri- culture, professional and other assoeiations. Leading ones in the business fields are the Canadian -Manufacturers Association, Cana- dian Retail Federation, Canadian Institute of International Affairs, Association of Canadian Clubs, Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Association of Canadian Better Business Bureaus, and the Canadian Min- ing Association. Lists of larger associations in Latin America are prepared by the Inter-Ameri- can Development Commission in Washing- ton, D. C, which makes surveys of that field from time to time. Good sources for similar data for other countries are the loose-leaf encyclopedias Euro pa and Orbis, published by Europa Publications in London and available in larger American libraries. Fuller lists are included in annual governmental and pri- vately published year books, often avail- able for reference in the libraries of for- eign consuls located in larger cities throughout the United States. GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ASSOCIATIONS There are approximately 75 national or- ganizations composed wholly or to a con- siderable extent of Government officials. Most of them have only small headquarters staffs, and depend largely on committees for their activities. One of the pioneers in this field is the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, formed in 1870. Because the largest single group of Gov- ernment workers in the United States are teachers in public schools, the National Education Association (with a member- ship of over 400,000 teachers, and a staff of about 350 ) is a leader in this field. Other as- sociations of Federal or local Government officials or employees include the American Society of Planning Officials, Government Research Associations, National Municipal League. Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, Federation of State Medi- cal Boards, and the International Associa- tion of Chiefs of Police. Fifteen important associations of public- officials are housed in one building in Chicago, where the Public Administration Clearing House (PACH) and the Public Administration Service assist in facilitating coordinative research for such groups as the Council of State Governments, Inter- national City Managers Association, Na- tional Association of Housing Officials. A leading directory in this field is "Pub- lic Administration Organizations" issued by the Public Administration Clearing House. The 1948 volume (215 pp., $3.50) included 560 national associations, of which 130 were of Government officials. INSTITUTES The word "institute" in the field of asso- ciations is used in a number of ways, two of which are: 1. To denote a trade association with an organization set-up providing for un- usual power in the hands of the chief of- ficial, whose contract of employment is on a 3- or 5-year basis rather than the annual one of many secretaries of trade and professional associations. An example is the Cotton Textile Institute. 2. To denote an independent or sub- sidiary association, engaged principally in educational services. For example, the American Institute of Banking was created in 1900 by the 1875-formed American Bankers" Association to conduct classes for employees and junior officers of banks; in 1948 there were AIB locals in almost 400 cities with 80,000 students. LOBBIES When lobbying is carried on in a legiti- mate way, it is a helpful and, in fact, nec- essary procedure. Almost all the organiza- tions listed in this handbook engage in lobbying to varying degrees. Little, if any, of the outstanding legislation in the fields of health, social welfare, and education would have been enacted when it was with- 562 NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES out vigorous lobbying and allied activities by pubbc spirited men and women. The American Farm Bureau Federation, for t-xample, prides itself on its success in using all honorable means to educate State and Federal legislative bodies concerning farm problems. 0. W. Kile states in The Farm Bureau Through Three Decades (1948, 415 pp., $3.50, Waverly Press), "Probably the greatest accomplishment of the American Farm Bureau Federation in its 3 decades of existence has been to establish a 'voice' for agriculture." A realistic picture of lobbying is pre- sented by H. M. Baus in his 1948 Public Relations at Work, sponsored by the Amer- ican Council on Public Relations: In a democratic government, what way is there for a business or a labor union or an organization of any kind to be heard by the elected representa- tives of the people unless they present their case to the officials of governments? Many companies, labor unions, associations, and other organizations maintain large staffs of expert personnel to represent them in the city hall, state capital, and Washington. It is important for the executive to know the laws that have to do with lobbying. The Federal Government, three-fourths of the States, and many cities have such laws. Observance of them will avoid fines, jail sentences, and adverse publicity, not to mention failure to win a case. MAGAZINES OF ASSOCIATIONS All of the 12,000 national and local trade associations, the 4,000 chambers of commerce, and the thousands of profes- sional, social, fraternal, farm, labor, racial, and other associations and societies publish bulletins of some sort. They are necessary means of keeping members informed about the association's services and current ac- tivities. The vast majority of national associa- tions use a quickly-prepared (multigraph, mimeograph, multilith) form of periodical so that current news may be written and dispatched to members with utmost speed. Most of these periodicals do not carry ad- vertisements. In general, they are sent only to member firms. Many professional associations, however, issue regular journals, monthly or quar- terly. Differing from trade associations, they do not feel the need of speedily pre- pared, informally published bulletins. The standard directories for data on all formal magazines are the annual Ayers Directory of Newspapers and Periodicals and the monthly Standard Rate and Data Service directory, available in most large libraries. PEACE ASSOCIATIONS Information on peace associations is available from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, established in 1910 (700 Jackson Place, Washington 6, D. C), and the various organizations com- prising the National Council for Preven- tion of War (1013 Eighteenth Street, Wash- ington 6, D. C. ) . The Carnegie group main- tains well-staffed offices in both New York City and Washington, D. C. It works to hasten the renunciation of war as an instru- ment of national policy, to promote meth- ods for the peaceful settlement of inter- national differences, and to aid in the de- velopment of international law. It furthers the work of regional and local centers; conducts conferences on current problems; cooperates with international relations clubs in colleges and schools; establishes committees and commissions to consider urgent questions; issues publications; pre- sents a series of radio programs, Beyond Victory, in conjunction with the World Wide Broadcasting Foundation; and uses educational films. Other organizations active in this field include the American Association for the United Nations (and the affiliated Commis- sion to Study the Organization of Peace), the American Peace Society, and the Na- tional Peace Conference (with over 30 na- tional and 40 State organization affiliates). RESEARCH ASSOCIATIONS Economic research Practically all organizations listed in this handbook engage in some type of research. OTHER TYPES OF ORGANIZATIONS 563 Certain organizations endeavor to assist in the coordination of economic and social re- jearch in which there i6 naturally some duplication. Among these are the National Industrial Conference Board, National Bureau of Economic Research, Twentieth Century Fund, the Social Science Research Council (which is composed of the Ameri- can Economic Association, American Sta- tistical Association, American Political Sci- ence Association, and others), the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, National Association of Manufacturers, and Ameri- can Management Association. Among helpful directories on this sub- ject are Market Research Sources (1940, 240 pp., 25 cents; now being revised, U. S. Department of Commerce); World Alma- nac and Book of Facts (1949, 910 pp., $1; 125 Barclay Street, New York 15, N. Y.) ; "Handbook of Commercial, Financial and Information Services" (1944, 205 pp., $3; compiled by the Special Libraries Associa- tion, 31 East Tenth Street, New York 3, N. Y.) ; 1949 Industrial Market Data Book (530 pp., S3 a year: 300 East Ohio Street, Chicago, 111.). Scientific research The National Research Council, affili- ated with the National Academy of Sci- ences (with a joint staff), is the foremost center in many aspects of scientific re- search. Among its publications are Indus- trial Research Laboratories of the United States (1946, 415 pp., $4.50), and Scien- tific and Technical Societies and Institu- tions of the United States and Canada (1948, 370 pp., $5). SALESMEN'S ASSOCIATIONS The latest (1940) Census of Population reported on 3,189,000 salesmen and sales- women, of whom 633,000 were classed as "traveling salesmen and sales agents." There has been a sharp increase in the membership of salesmen's associations in recent years. This has been due, to a con- siderable extent, to the growth of legisla- tion affecting their interests, such as laws on wages and hours, unemployment com- pensation, and related subjects. Two re- cently-formed federated groups active on such subjects, as well as the amount of commissions allowed salesmen by manu- facturers and distributors, are the Na- tional Council of Salesmen's Organizations, formed in 1945 by 20 national and regional associations, and the Bureau of Salesmen's National Associations, formed in 1948 by 3 national organizations with 15,000 whole- sale salesmen as members. Most of the national salesmen's associa- tions may be placed in two main groups. The first consists of associations whose serv- ices to members are generally along social acquaintanceship, and fraternal (includ- ing cooperative insurance) lines. Formed in 1888, the Order of United Commercial Travelers of America is one of the largest of this type. There are UCT locals in leading trade centers. Fraternal insurance features are one of the major services to its 140,000 members. The second group specializes in business problems services, including the sponsor- ing of cooperative exhibitions of the prod- ucts handled by the salesmen. Examples of this type are the National Association of Women's and Children's Apparel Sales- men (the Fashion Exhibitors of America is in the same office) and the National Association of Men's Apparel Clubs (often spoken of as the "MACV). SECRETARIES AND EXECUTIVES ASSOCIATIONS Of special interest to associations of business firms are the American Trade Association Executives (1,200 members, most of whom are the chief executives of national trade associations) and the American Chamber of Commerce Execu- tives (1,900 members— secretaries and man- agers of local chambers of commerce). Both ATAE and ACCE have many Cana- dian members; the former organized sev- 564 NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES eral Canadian chapters in 1948. ATAE lo- cal chapters are usually luncheon-club organizations. At their meetings the secre- taries and other executives of both national and local associations interchange ideas on current business and organization problems; outside speakers are often in- vited. ATAE thus states one of its pur- poses: "To develop and encourage high standards of service and conduct of ex- ecutives professionally serving trade asso- ciations by means of study, discussion, and education regarding trade association ob- jectives, activities, and management, and the professional responsibilities of the as- sociation executive in relation thereto." A number of 1-week summer schools are fostered by ATAE and ACCE, in co- operation with the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. The best known is the National Institute for Commercial and Trade Organization Executives held at Northwestern University. The institute's most recent textbooks are tbe 1942 Cham- ber of Commerce Administration (280 pp., $5) and the 1948 Trade Association Man- agement (190 pp., $5). SMALL BUSINESS ASSOCIATIONS The latest official estimates on the size of groups in all fields of American business are those covering the year 1939. In that year, according to the Office of Business Economics, there were 3,317,000 business firms. Of these, only 26,900 had as many as 100 employees. These firms comprised less than 1 percent of all business units, yet their employees comprised 56 percent of tbe national employment total. Then came 95,000 companies with 20 to 100 employees. At the other extreme were 2,723,000 very small firms with an average employ- ment of only two persons per firm, includ- ing tbe proprietor himself. It is tbese pro- prietors who, in so many cases, are unable to find time to attend the meetings of local associations and chambers of commerce. Yet they are in greatest need of the man- agement and other services provided by well-managed associations (see p. xiii), most of which are "small business" groups. To aid these thousands of associations, a number of special organizations have been formed in the past decade. The two largest organizations are the National Small Busi- ness Men's Association, formed in 1937, and the Conference of American Small Busi- ness Organizations, formed in 1942. When firms increase in size to the ex- tent of having several employees, they tend to take out membership in the local trade associations in their business field and in their local chamber of commerce. Such groups tend to give special attention to small-business problems. Many national trade associations in the retail and service fields are especially active in endeavoring to lessen the high mortality rate each year of 300,000 to 400,000 failures of smaller business establishments. SOCIAL WELFARE ASSOCIATIONS There are a very large number of coop- erative associations in the social welfare field, if the words are used in a broad sense. Data on these organizations are given in the Social Work Year Book (1947, 715 pp., $3.50, issued biennially by the Russell Sage Foundation, 130 East Twenty-second Street, New York 10, N. Y.). Many organizations, such as the Young Men's Christian Associations, the Young Women's Christian Associations, and the Knights of Columbus, carry on both social welfare and general service activities. Others confine themselves to welfare-serv- ice matters— for example, the Salvation Army. A number of national organizations have hundreds of local chapters. Fre- quently, there are close ties between such locals and appropriate committees of local chambers of commerce and other commu- nity development organizations of busi- nessmen. The National Conference of Social Work, formed in 1873, is composed of over 50 national organizations. Another coordinat- OTHER TYPES OF ORGANIZATIONS 565 ing a;ency is the National Social Welfare Assembly (1920), with committees on vet- erans' services, international social-welfare problems, and financial support of na- tional-welfare associations. Approximately 125 national groups in this field sponsored the 1948 National Conference on Family Life. Its agenda stated in part: "Organi- zations with a total membership of 40 mil- lion people are represented to study family life, housing, town planning, delinquency, better labor conditions the as- sociations represent businessmen, doctors, lawyers, labor leaders, ministers, rabbis, housewives, women's magazine editors, young people, etc." A specialized and important type of so- cial welfare is work with the handicapped, carried on by such organizations as the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, the American Hearing Society (formerly, the American Society for the Hard of Hearing), American Federation of the Physically Handicapped. Activities of such associations and their local affili- ates are both remedial and preventive, and emphasis is put on rehabilitation and self- support. An increasing number of trade as- sociations are devoting time and funds to furthering employment of the physically handicapped, independently and in coop- eration with the appropriate welfare or- ganizations. TRADE DIRECTORIES One large national association received 7,000 letters in the year 1948. It reports that most of these were from the general public, rather than from its members: a good proportion of the general public re- quests asked for a list of the firms in that industry. Most of the Nation's trade associations do not publish trade lists or directories. The usual procedure is to refer inquirers to the helpful standard trade directories and annual financial manuals which are available in most public libraries. Such books are listed in the Department of Com- merce publication, American Business Di- rectories. The 1947 edition (200 pp., 65$) is available from Department of Commerce field offices or from the Government Print- ing Office, Washington 25, D. C. It gives details on approximately 400 trade direc- tories of national scope (from Advertising and Apparel to Warehousing). Lists of business firms in foreign coun- tries are prepared by the Commercial In- telligence Division, Office of International Trade. (Available from the Department of Commerce, Washington 25, D. C, or from Department Field Offices at $1 per list.) These lists are of several types: General lists of businessmen for small countries; and lists of importers and dealers, and of manufacturers and exporters, classified by commodity, for larger countries. TRAFFIC, RATE, AND TARIFF BUREAUS Such organizations are numerous in the transportation field, where under supervi- sion of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion uniformity in various types of regu- lations and charges for passenger and freight transportation are permitted by law. This is an exception to antitrust laws against fixed prices by business competi- tors. In a few cases, these bureaus also provide services in typical trade association fields. Large staffs are maintained by some, owing to the great amount of bookkeeping necessary to provide the public with stand- ard time and fee schedules. The services of one of the leading asso- ciations in the field of coordinating trans- portation rates and services, the National Bus Traffic Association, are thus described in its bylaws: To provide economic means for interchange of information and exchange of views with regard to tariffs, division of interline revenue, and methods of ticketing. To provide means for the compilation and dis- trihution of tariffs, statistics and division sheets. To provide mean;, for interchange of information and exchange of views with regard to rates and fares, rate structures, rate differentials and other matters with other associations and carriers. * p p n d i ices Sw/i/wu/u Ji Functional and Special Industry Groupings OOME of the trade associations listed with full details in the various Industry Sections have been regrouped here, by name only, to meet the need for lists of associations in a number of important functional and other groups. The construc- tion industry, for example, cuts across many commodity fields. So also do associa- tions of wholesalers and retailers, and those having a special interest in foreign trade. Construction Industry Associations Because of the outstanding importance of the construction and building materials industry, which covers many commodity fields, this list of 245 construction industry associations has been prepared as a time- saving convenience. There were approximately 310,00 firms in the contract construction industry at the start of 1949, according to estimates of the Office of Business Economics, Department of Commerce. The prewar (,1939) Census of Construction covered 215.000 establishments I general contrac- tors, builders, and special trade contrac- tors, such as excavating, plumbing, and painting). Almost 2.5 million persons were employed in contract construction work in 1948 (not including the large number of employees of railroads, public utilities, etc., who are employed in noncontract work). The Construction Division, Office of Do- mestic Commerce, Department of Com- merce, estimates that the 1949 volume of new construction will be $18.75 billion — 6 percent above the 1948 total of $17.66 billion. Approximately 928,000 new hous- ing units were constructed in 1948. The associations in the following list are grouped under six industry headings: Metal products; lumber, stone, clay, and glass: transportation and other public util- ities; chemicals; and petroleum, coal, and gas. Details on each association are given in these sections. 100 Metal Products Associations Air Conditioning and Refrigerating Machinery As- sociation. Air Distribution Institute. Aluminum Association.

Foreign Trade Associations This section includes 350 organizations, of which approximately 50 are Webb- Pomerene Act export associations and 30 are foreign chambers of commerce. The remaining, in most cases, are trade asso- ciations representing industries which have a special interest in export and import trade. Foreign trade services Only a few organizations, such as the National Foreign Trade Council and the National Council of American Importers, have a direct interest in foreign trade as a whole. Most trade associations, as their names imply, for example, American Cot- ton Shippers Association, National Coffee Association, are concerned primarily with their specific commodity fields. With the exception of the Webb-Pomerene Act ex- port associations, business organizations in the United States do not carry on the busi- FUNCTIONAL \\l) SPECIAL 1NDI SUM GROUPINGS 373 ness of i 1 1 1 1 1 1 . 1 1 1 1 1 - or exporting. Most trade associations confine their foreign trade ac- tivities to such matters as compiling data for their inemhers on market potentials, shipping rates, and tariff regulations, and to cooperating with appropriate Govern- ment agencies on surveys of world trade prohlems affecting their industries. As a general rule, a domestic association active in foreign trade matters has one or several memhers of its headquarters staff devoting lull time to the needs of the associations foreign trade committee. For example, the Automobile Manufac- turers Association furnishes services to its memhers through its export prohlems com- mittee, composed of the managers of the export trade departments of various AMA memher firms. In cooperation with AMA staff experts on foreign trade, the commit- tee develops and directs the association's promotional efforts in other countries. Typical program Naturally, the type and volume of for- eign trade services furnished by larger na- tional associations vary. The program of a typical association of manufacturers, whose memhers" products normally sell abroad to the extent of approximately 10 percent of the industry's output, would include services such as those outlined below. In the export field, such an association would normally survey a variety of proh- lems of concern to its industry. Survey topics would include: Government controls over exports; effect of further legislation, regulations, or other Government action on the export prospects of the industry's products: postwar export markets as aids in maintaining high levels of employment in the industry. In the import field, the association would follow developments in tariff.-, customs, and reciprocal trade agreements of direct concern to the industry, with a view to recommending action, when advisable. It would analyze all trade agreements, pro- posed or approved: prepare and present Mn165°— 49 41 briefs, when advisable, on behalf of the industry's manufacturers; cooperate with and present to appropriate Government agencies information with respect to mat- ters that affect the interest of the indus- try: follow national legislation, including its administration, on tariffs and customs or other matters relating to the import or export of the industry's products, and take appropriate action when necessary; keep members informed regarding imports of the industry's products. U ebb-Pomcrene associations ^ ebb-Poinerene export associations op- erate under a special act of Congress, en- acted in 1918, designed primarily to aid smaller companies in expanding their ex- port trade. One of the provisions of the act granted partial exemption from the antitrust laws in order that companies operating under its jurisdiction might com- pete more realistically with the Govern- ment-sanctioned cartles of other nations. Some Webb associations act as agents for their members in taking orders, negotiat- ing sales, and handling shipments of goods to foreign countries, thus differing mate- rially from typical domestic trade associa- tions in the United States. The 50 Webb Act associations in the list are marked "\\ ebb association." Foreign chambers of commerce Some I nited States firms interested in international trade also belong to foreign chambers of commerce located in this country. (See Section 19.1 Larger L nited States companies engaged in foreign trade maintain branch offices in leading world centers, and provide the backbone of still another type of organization, usually termed American chambers of commerce abroad. These are located in the front line areas of two-way world trade. Examples are the American Chamber of Commerce in France I located in Paris i and the Ameri- can Chamber of Commerce in London. 574 NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES World trade booklet Data on almost 1,000 national and local associations which have committees or de- partments on foreign trade or international relations are given in the United States Department of Commerce booklet, "United States Associations in World Trade and Affairs," 1947, 125 pp., 70 cents, available from the Superintendent of Documents, Washington 25, D. C, or the Department's field offices in 42 cities. As is there shown, in chart and table form, the leading commodities exported in 1946 were machinery, wheat and flour, steel mill products, raw cotton, and auto- mobiles. Each represented 5 percent or more of total export trade. Then followed meat, tobacco, petroleum, cotton manu- factures, chemicals, coal, dairy products, rubber manufactures, and miscellaneous foods. Consequently, associations in these fields usually have active committees spe- cializing in matters affecting foreign trade. The leading fields of import trade in 1946 included only three with at least 5 percent of total imports: Coffee, wood- pulp, and wool. These were followed by rubber, furs, sugar, diamonds, petroleum, and hides, representing 3 to 5 percent each of total imports. Location of associations More than three-fourths of the 350 as- sociations in the following list are located in New York City, Washington, D. C, and Chicago, 111. : 210 associations are in New York City, 50 associations are in Washington, D. C, 30 associations are in Chicago, 60 associations are in other cities. In many nonindustrial or smaller States, the principal organizations with foreign trade departments are the State associa- tions of manufacturers and the State cham- bers of commerce. (See sec. 25.) Other centers of information on foreign trade matters are the local foreign trade clubs, export managers clubs, etc., in larger cities throughout the United States. Those associations whose foreign trade interest is chiefly in export matters are marked with an "E," a major interest in import matters is indicated by an "I." Where no symbol is given, the organization is concerned with both export and import trade matters. 350 Foreign Trade Associations Advertising Federation of America.

Wholesale and Retail Associations According to the Department of Labor, there were almost 10 million employees in wholesale and retail trade at the start of 1949. Department of Commerce esti- mates of 1948 retail and wholesale sales gave $130 billion for the Nation's almost 1.8 million retail stores, and $94 billion for the almost 190,000 wholesale establish- ments. The wholesale sales figure does not include manufacturers' sales branches. The 1947 total was $88 billion (or $155 billion if manufacturers' sales branches are in- cluded ) . Representing these approximately 2 mil- lion firms are 90 national associations of retailers (and over 3,000 State and local associations) and 250 national associa- tions of wholesalers (1,000 State and local groups). Most of the larger local associa- tions are affiliated with the national or- ganizations. The National Association of Retail Grocers has over 400 local associa- tions as affiliates, and is the largest in this respect. Largest of distributor associations in size of staff is the National Retail Dry Goods Association, with over 80 em- ployees. The NRDGA carries on an unusu- ally full program of activities. Wholesale employment The last census of wholesale trade (1939 ) showed 1.6 million employees in wholesale trade. The following table gives the rela- tive size of employment for 23 commodity fields in that part of wholesale trade cov- ered by service and limited-function whole- salers (that is, all wholesale trade except manufacturers' sales branches, farm prod- ucts assemblers, petroleum bulk outlets, and agents and brokers). The greater part of the 250 national associations of wholesalers are in these 23 fields. Some Leading States in Wholesale Employment.

Then came clothing and general merchandise FUNCTION M. VMt SPECIAL INDUSTR\ (.KOI l'l\<.- 591 stores with 22 percent, and the automobile- filling stations group with LS percent. Furniture stores and drug stores each furnished 4 percent of all retail jobs. Then came building materials, fuel and ice, and hardware and farm implements with 2 percent each. Department of Commerce information The Marketing Division in the Office of Domestic Commerce is an excellent source of information on wholesale and retail trade. Its work is guided hy an advisory committee representing approximately 50 national associations of retailers and 50 leading retail proprietors. This Division also serves the various business service trades. The Bureau of the Census, Business Di- vision, is in charge of the 1948 Census of Business, work on which was started in early 1949. Available without charge are the Division's various current reports on retail and wholesale trade, with break- downs for most States and leading fields of business. Local problems Manufacturers' problems are usually na- tional or regional in scope. Retailers" prob- lems are generally so localized that the number of national retail associations is comparatively small. Only a few of the retail groups listed below have staffs of 25 or more persons. Among these are: VMERICAN RETAIL FEDERATION— claims to speak for some 500,000 of the 1,800,000 retail stores, through 20 national and 3 I State associa- tions. \ V TIONAL RETAIL DRY GOODS ASSOCIA- TION — has hy far the largest staff of any retail a--oriation. The NRDGA is the spoke-man for department -tores, the largest hranch of retail trade as to average sales and employment per store. NATIONAL RETAIL FURNITURE ASSOCIA- TION — its "National Furniture Review" has a cir- culation of 11.000. NVTION VI. VI TOMOBILE DEALERS ASSOC! V- TION— its "NAD V Magazine" goes to over 30,000 merchant-. V large proportion of national asso- ciation- in the retail field publish formal maga- zines of the trade journal type, fhi- is in -harp contrast to national associations of manufactur- ers, few of which issue magazine-. Retail "small business" Retail trade includes the Nation's great- est number of very small business units 960,000 stores had prewar average annual sales of less than $10,000. In fact, only 430,000 of the nearly 1,800,000 total, in- cluding 90,000 chain-owned retail estab- lishments, had individual average annual receipts of at least $20,000. These larger stores, comprising 24 percent of all stores, had 78 percent of all sales. The remaining 1,340,000 small-business units, or 76 per- cent of total stores, accounted for 22 per- cent of total retail trade. As the population increases, the number of retail stores rises — the average is one store for every 80 persons. In 1929 there were approximately 1.5 million stores to serve 122 million people. In 1948 almost 1.8 million stores were needed for the population of 146 million people. Of all retail stores in 1939, 47 percent were op- erated by the proprietor without any paid employees; 39 percent had only 1 to 3 employees. These two small-store groups had 86 percent of all stores, but only 41 percent of total retail trade employment. Such stores tend to belong to local asso- ciations rather than to those of national scope. In 1947, according to Social Security Administration data, there were over 800,- 000 retail stores with no paid employees, and 500.000 with 1 to 3 employees, a total of 1,300,000 business (inns of very small size. Many fields in the service industries (such as beauty shops, shoe and other repair shops) carry on retail trade to a limited extent. Such firms often become members of trade associations of retailers. The service industries comprise the second largest field of small business in the I niled States. Of the 640.000 firms in this group 592 NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES in 1939, 55 percent had no employees, and 35 percent had only 1 to 3 workers. In 1947, there were almost 150,000 shops with no employees, and 400,000 with 1 to 3 workers, a total of 550,000 very small establishments. Associations Approximately 250 national associations of wholesalers and 90 of retailers are named in the two lists following. Full details on each are contained in the various Industry Sections. The 50 Webb-Pomerene Act export associations have been included in the wholesale list because the chief pur- pose of most of these groups is to act as sales agents of manufacturing companies, and in some cases as wholesalers. Some of the associations listed include both whole- salers and retailers in their memberships; a few include both manufacturers and dis- tributors. 250 Associations of Wholesalers (Full detail on each are given in the various Industry Sections) American Association of Felt and Straw Goods Im- porters.

S^l/i/iendcx Multiple Association Offices JL HE term "multiple-management" is here used to indicate an office which acts as the secretarial staff for four or more national trade associations. There are com- paratively few of these management offices in the United States. In most cases the industries covered by the associations are small in size and some- what closely related. For example, the largest multiple-secretary office manages 15 separate bureaus or associations for such smaller manufacturing industries as wire screen, pins and clips, hairpins, buckles, washers, etc., in the metals field; and two associations of manufacturers of crane ma- chinery. The next largest, with 12 associa- tions, serves seven wholesale metal prod- ucts groups and several associations of manufacturers of brushes, welders, etc. Another, with 10 organizations, has one association each for five types of screws, one for a special type of rivet, etc. An office with eight associations has one for canned peas, one for split peas, one for canned cherries, and so on. The scope of service rendered is some- times limited, with statistical reporting and legislative research the major activities. The office staff (full time) usually averages one specialist and one clerk for each asso- ciation represented. Association dues, there- fore, can be kept to a minimum, in line with the type of specialized service given. Multiple association offices fill a special need, yet the system has not increased to any extent in recent years (see data in 1947, 1942, and prior directories of the Department of Commerce). The oldest multiple office, now headed by George A. Fernley, was organized more than 50 years ago by the Fernley family. An especially interesting set-up is that of the Machinery and Allied Products Institute, formed dur- ing the NRA period, which acts as a loose federation of twenty-one independent, sep- arately staffed associations but as a mul- tiple secretary or joint secretariat for nine others. In this way MAPI serves 30 of the 150 national associations in the machinery field. The 17 multiple offices listed below manage 120 associations, chiefly of manu- facturers. Four offices have 10 or more associations each (a total of 49 associations): H. S. Blake, New York Cily G. A. Fernley, Philadelphia . . W. J. Parker, New York City G. P. Byrne, New York City 15 associations 12 associations do . . 10 associations (Largely metal products: pins, buckles, etc. (Largely wholesalers). (Largely metal products).

In some instances the associations cover separate industries. In others, there are separate associations or bureaus covering different branches of the same industry. For example, one office man- ages the National Sand and Gravel Asso- ciation (formed in 1917), the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (1930), and the National Industrial Sand Associa- tion (1936).

The largest endowments are the Rock- efeller and Carnegie foundations, each ex- ceeding $200 million; those with $50 mil- lion or more include the Commonwealth (Harkness), Duke, Ford, Hayden, Kellogg, and Kresge funds. Economic research Economics and business-problems re- search are principal objectives of an in- creasing number of foundations. Among larger ones devoting all or much of their resources to studies of and action on em- ployment conditions, business-Government problems, and related subjects, are the newly-formed Henry Ford Foundation and the Brookings, Falk, Filene, Haynes, Sloan, Twentieth Century Fund, and Whitney or- ganizations. Many foundations working primarily in social welfare or education also engage in, or finance, studies which are of special interest to businessmen and their trade associations. The Brookings Institution, known for its outstanding surveys of modern business problems, has received many supplemental grants from the Rockefeller, Carnegie, Falk, and other endowments. The latest broad economic survey by the Twentieth Century Fund, established by E. A. Filene (of Boston) funds, is the 810-page Amer- ica's Needs and Resources, issued in 1947. Industrial research In the field of industrial research are such endowed agencies as the Battelle Memorial Institute of Columbus, Ohio (formed in 1929), and the Mellon Institute at Pittsburgh, where laboratory research was initiated in 1911. Each has a staff of several hundred chemists, physicists, and metallurgists. A number of trade associa- tions have set up endowments or special funds which are sometimes expended in university laboratories or in privately en- dowed institutions. A few associations have established their own industrial research laboratories. The National Bureau of Standards, the world's largest Government research laboratory, is also utilized by a number of associations in making various types of cooperative technical studies. Foundation directories Among directories of foundations, pub- lished periodically, are: American Foun- dations and Their Fields (1942, 275 pp., Raymond Rich Associates, New York, N. Y. ) ; American Foundations for Social Welfare (1946, 250 pp., Russell Sage Foundation, New York, N. Y.) ; Philan- thropic Foundations and Higher Education (1938, 365 pp., Columbia University Press, New York, N. Y.); Yearbook of Philan- 606 FOUNDATIONS 607 thropy (1943, 75 pp., Inter-River I'rcss. New York, N. Y.). The Russell Sage Foundation 1946 direc- tory covers 505 foundations, and states, in part: The broad purpose of foundations if the distribu- tion of wealth for the public pood. This purpose they pursue in widely differing ways, but in general they represent a new and more scientific attitude toward giving. They stress the discovery of facts, edueation, prevention, correction, and cure as con- trasted with relief of individual needs. . . . Because foundation-- are organized solely to do an effective job of giving, and are profiting by cumulative experience, the\ are often the pioneers in new- fields and the leaders of progressive movements, exercising an influence out of proportion to the mere 3 percent of the budget of private philan- thropy which i> within their control. The general confusion in the public mind as to what foundations are ami do is the result, not merely of the complex nature and rapid growth of foundations themselves, but of the assumption of the titles "foundation," ■'fund," ami '■endowment" by many organizations which have little claim to them. . . . The most deplorable use of the term "foundation" has been made by a variety of or- ganizations which employed it to inspire public confidence in questionable enterprise-. Further details on most of the founda- tions listed below may he found in the above-named directories. Several of the organizations were started with foundation funds, but are now largely supported by membership fees. The figures in brackets indicate the year the foundation was or- ganized. 160 Foundations Advertising Research Foundation (1935). II West I2d St.. New Wk IK. N. \. Air Hygiene Foundation of America.

Sol/i/iendix Federal Government Agencies of Special Interest to Trade Associations Oi "NE of the foremost duties of any national organization is to keep its mem- bers in general touch with Federal legis- lation affecting their interests. State asso- ciations provide a similar service for State laws and proposed legislation. A summary of the '"Government Relations'' services of national trade associations is given on j) age xiii. The United States Government Manual is an invaluable handbook on Federal agen- cies, many of which have branch offices throughout the country. (Only one-tenth of Federal employment is in Washington. D. C.) The 1948 edition of the Manual (720 pp., SI, Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C. ) , includes such help- ful information as the following: List of over 40 bibliographies of Government publications, and data on the Congressional Direc- tory (§1.50), Congressional Record (§1.50 per month while Congress is in session), Monthly Cat- alog of U. S. Government Publications (§2.25 a year), U. S. Quarterly Book List (S3.50 a year), etc. Among the bibliographies, available from the Government Printing Office upon request, are Com- merce and Manufactures, Census, Transportation, Tariff, Mines, Forestry, Finance, Labor, Foreign Relations, and Laws. List of major publications of all departments and larger bureaus. Thirty-two pages of charts on larger Govern- ment agencies, and detailed text on each agency of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the Federal Government. Listed below are some of the agencies of special interest to associations; for further details write to the agency, Washington 25, D. C: Department of Commerce. Offices of Domestic Commerce, Business Economics, International Trade, Patents, and Technical Services.

Trade Association Division, Jay Judkins, Chief; Office of Domestic Commerce, Washington 25, D. C. Its directories cover approximately 12,000 trade associations, 4,000 chambers of commerce and boards of trade, and several thousand pro- fessional and other associations. It also prepares reports on trade association activities and allied subjects. Chamber of Commerce of the United States. Trade Association Department, Henry P. Fowler, Manager, 1615 H St., Washington 6, D. C. Affiliated organizations include more than 500 trade associations and 2,300 chambers of com- merce.

Its Commercial Organization Depart- ment issues booklets on chamber of commerce problems. National Association of Manufacturers. Na- tional Industrial Council, Thomas M. Brennan, executive director, 11 West 49th St., New York 20, N. Y. More than 350 associations of manu- facturers are members of the Council.

Elton, general manager, Evening Star Bldg., Washington 4, D. C. Its 1,100 members are ex- ecutives of national and local trade associations. ATAE issues a monthly bulletin, and has prepared many valuable committee reports avaUable to members. The textbook, Trade Association Man- agement (190 pp., S5), was issued in 1948 by the National Institute for Commercial and Trade Organization Executives, a summer school spon- sored by ATAE, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, the American Chamber of Com- merce Executives, and Northwestern University. Bibliography Some standard sources of information have been listed and described in parts I, II, and III. A bibliography on business- men's organizations and allied subjects* is available on request from the Trade Asso- ciation Division, U. S. Department of Com- merce, Washington 25, D. C. It lists approxi- mately 100 books and directories. 622 S//t/ic?ieek personal preference and recognition. 7. They want to keep informed on trade matters. 8. They are "good fellows." 9. They obtain educational advantages. 10. They want to improve the indu-try. 623 624 NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES 11. They want to improve the business methods and efficiency of their plants. 12. They want to fight unfair legislation and taxa- tion. 13. They like the social and recreational features. 14. They want to work with competitors on mutual problems. B. Why People Decline to Join Trade Associations 1. They do not believe organized effort can ac- complish anything. 2. They do not want to spend money for dues. 3. They think they can get the benefits anyway (the "free riders"). 4. They like to be individual r 'big shots." 5. They are just naturally "mean." 6. They haven't got the money. 7. They have had some unfortunate past experi- ence. 8. They are non-mixers; and do not like to' meet people. 9. They have an exaggerated opinion of their own cleverness. 10. They think they have all they can get out of the organization. (These are "in-and-out ers.") 11. They can't dominate association policies- Bylaws The following extracts are from Trade Association Bylaws (13 pp., available upon request), prepared by the Trade Associa- tion Division of the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States: The written instrument which describes and de- fines the general features of a trade association's organization, powers, duties, and responsibilities, is its by-laws, or its constitution and by-laws, or its charter and by-laws. Whatever forms and names the documents may have, the substance of their content is the same. By-laws are a statement of the association's ob- jects and of the methods of conducting its activi- ties, as well as an authoritative definition of its form of organization. They should not be too de- tailed, but should embody sound organization prin- ciples. If the principles are right, the details may be taken care of ordinarily without difficulty, as occasion arises. However, a declaration of prin- ciples and policies should be so drawn as to give a prospective association member a clear under- standing of the obligations and responsibilities to which he is subscribing. In some cases trade associations are incorporated, usually under state laws authorizing the incorpora- tion of non-stock or non-profit organizations. An important reason for incorporation is to limit lia- bilities to the assets of the corporation, and pre- vent any possibility of directors, officers, or others being held personally liable for acts of the asso- ciation. Other reasons are found in the desirability of legal continuity, despite changing personnel, di- rectors, and changing memberships; prevention of doubt as to the legal title of property of the associa- tion; simplicity of action in entering contracts and in enforcing contracts; and the facilitation of for- mal representation of members in legal proceed- ings. The by-laws that follow have been prepared from a careful study of the by-law provisions of the larger, older, and more successful trade associa- tions. No attempt has been made to give a set of by-laws to meet all requirements, just as herein written, but an effort has been made to include the most important provisions that might fall within the requirements of an organization in which mem- bership is direct and only of one type. These by- laws are presented, therefore, as a guide that can be followed in preparing by-laws to fit such an organization in the trade association field. So- called "Institutes" vary little from trade associa- tions in organization structure or method of op- eration. BYLAW PROVISIONS Article I. — Name Section 1.

BASIC ECONOMIC DATA Current statistical data given in the 15 Industry Sections cover such items as physi* cal production of manufactured goods, value of manufacturers' sales, employment and pay rolls, number of firms, and lead- ing production States. Most of these data are compiled by the Departments of Com- merce and Labor. Related statistics are pre- sented in considerable detail in tables 1 to 3 on following pages. Additional tables in mimeographed form (or sources of fur- ther data covering 1949-50) may be secured by writing to the Trade Association Divi- sion, Office of Domestic Commerce (com- piler of the handbook). Department of Commerce data Valuable market data and other infor- mation of aid in planning programs are available in a number of Department of Commerce publications. Its annual Statis- tical Abstract of the United States (1948 edition, 1,060 pp., $2.75, compiled by the Bureau of the Census), and its monthly Survey of Current Business ($3 a year, 25 cents a copy, with weekly supplements, prepared by the Office of Business Eco- nomics), contain summarized information from all Government agencies, as well as from many trade associations and other sources. The Facts for Industry series of the Bureau of the Census includes 57 monthly, quarterly, and other statistical releases, on metal, textile, wood, chemical, and other products. The Industry Reports of the Office of Domestic Commerce cover lumber, pulp and paper, chemicals and drugs, canned fruits and vegetables, coffee, tea, cocoa, and spices, fats and oils, sugar, leather, rubber, construction, transporta- tion, and containers and packaging. Two of these reports are free; the others are sold at nominal prices (with discounts for quantity lots to associations and other bulk subscribers ) . Several recent releases of the Depart- ment of special interest to associations, in- cluding the forthcoming reports of the new national censuses, are described below. Population Recent releases of the Bureau of the Census present detailed estimates of pop- ulation from 1949 to 1960 and estimates of State population for mid-1948. It is es- timated that the mid-1950 popidation will be 149.9 million persons (possibly 150.7 million, if the number of children has been underestimated in recent years), or 7 per- cent of the world total of approximately 2.3 billion persons. By July 1955, the population will number 155.5 million persons, and 160 million by 1960. By 1958, 34 million children will be enrolled in elementary and high schools (almost 40 percent more than in 1947). The population increase will be about an annual rate of 1.0 percent, or more than 1.5 million persons per year (the 1940-47 rate was 1.3 percent). By 1955, the excess of females may be 1,004,000, due to more favorable mortality rates for women. Changes in age composition will affect the size and composition of the country's labor supply, the de- mand for various types of consumer goods and services, the number of males available for mili- tary service, and the like, including old-age pen- sion programs. (Census release, February 14, 1949.) 626 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT 627 In 1950, persons over 65 in ago may total 11 million, compared with 9 million in 1940.

The Annual Report on the Labor Force, by the Bureau of the Census (Series P-50, No. 13, 34 pp., February 16, 1949, free), contains valuable data for production and marketing studies by associations. It states: "Virtual full em- ployment prevailed in the United States during 1948. Employment ranged from a low of 57 million to 61.5 during the sum- mer. Unemployment was generally of short duration: about one-half of those unem- ployed at the time of the various monthly surveys bad been looking for work for 4 weeks or less." In 1948, nonfarm employment averaged 51.5 million 1 86 percent of the national total), an increase of more than 30 per- cent, or 13.5 million persons, since 1940. Farm employment averaged 8 million (14 percent of the total I, a 15 percent decrease in number of persons since 194(1. I Farm employment included 4.7 million farmers: and 3.3 million employees and family workers.) The 1948 population of 146 mil- lion was composed of 59 million income producers I w age, salary, employer and self-employed I, and 88 million housewives, children, and the unemployed : 1 ni null in ml ucers 16 million in manufacturing. 1(1 million in trade. 8 million in farming. 5 million in business services. 4 million in transportation and other public utilities. 2 million in construction. 2 million in domestic service. 1 million in State-local Government. 2 million in Federal Government (civil). 1 million in Federal Government (military). 1 million in mining. 4 million in all other, including professional self-employed. ° 9 Others 15 million children of 4 year;, and under. 24 million children of 5 to 14 years. 11 million children of 15 to 19 years. 33 million housewives. 3 million aged (75 years and over). 2 million unemployed. 88 Income Another recent report of value in asso- ciation research is the Bureau of the Cen- sus release on family and individual in- comes for 1947 and 1944, issued February 7, 1949 (Series P-60, No. 5; 29 pp., free). This report states that the proportion of families with incomes of $5,000 and over increased from 12 percent in 1944 to 19 percent in 1947. Median income for males, from wages and salaries, increased from 81.038 in 1939, to $2,260 in 1947. Family median incomes in 1947 averaged 1 3,031 (many families included two or more workers), but more than 10 million families of the 37 million total had in- comes of less than S2.000. Male incomes varied from a low of $1,565 in the personal services industries, to an average of $2,554 in manufacturing and $2,800 in mining. The Census estimate of a median family in- come of $3,031 in 1947 is broken down into various income groups, representing the 37 million families total: income Families I nder > 1 .500 18.6 $1,500 to $2,500 20 . I $2,500 i" $3,500 22.0 $3,500 to $4,500 15.3 $ 1.500 to $6,000 12.1 Over $6,000 11.6 628 NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES Estimates on income payments by States are issued each year by the Office of Busi- ness Economics, U. S. Department of Com- merce. Per capita income in 1947 ranged from an average of $800 in several States, to $1,600 and more in 8 high income States. Coming census reports Final reports of the 1947 Census of Man- ufactures, by industries and by areas, will probably be available by mid-1949. The enormous task of carrying out complete na- tional censuses is thus discussed in a recent release. A Preview of the 1950 Census: The 1950 Census will enumerate facts concerning some 150 million people, 6.5 million farms, and 40 million dwelling units. In the 1940-47 period, 70 million people moved (13 million to other coun- ties and 12 million to other States). Western states gained 33 percent in population. Population gain in the 1940-50 period will be 18 to 19 million per- sons, a new record. About 1 million maps are being prepared to cover dwelling places and farms in each of the 200,000 enumeration districts. Special advisory committees are assisting from the American Statistical Association and other or- ganizations. Under recent legislation, Censuses of Business, Manufactures and Mineral Industries will be conducted at 5-year intervals, from 1954. The Census of Manufactures of 1947, covering some 250,000 establishments, was made in 1948 (the first since 1939). The Census of Business of 1948, cov- ering 3 million establishments, will be made in 1949 (also the first since 1939). The 1950 Census will cover population and agriculture. Tables Table 1. — This basic table covers a va- riety of major economic factors for se- lected years — 1929 (a boom year), 1933 (a depression year), 1939 and 1940 (two immediate prewar years), 1944 (a war- peak year), and 1947-48 (the two immedi- ate postwar years). Population has in- creased 24 million persons since 1929. Un- employment has varied from 25 percent of the total labor force (in 1933) to less than 5 percent in recent years. The war peak employment in manufac- turing exceeded 17 million in 1943-44, 6 million factory employees above the 1939 total. National income in 1948 was 224 bil- lion dollars, compared with 81 billion dol- lars in 1940; an increase of almost 180 percent. Wholesale prices increased ap- proximately 110 percent during this period. Because of varying price changes, the monthly index of physical volume of man- ufacturing production, compiled by the Federal Reserve System, is of special inter- est to trade associations and business firms. As shown in table 1, it is presented in in- dex form (the 1935-39 average represents 100) and measures factory production in physical units, rather than in dollar vol- ume. War needs brought about a remark- able increase in the output of American factories, with a rise in the index from 126 in 1940 to 252 in 1944. The early 1949 figure is 200 for manufacturing (and 192 for the manufacturing and mining total of industrial production.) Agricultural production in 1948 totaled 31 billion dollars in cash receipts, in sharp contrast to the 9 billion dollars total in 1940, and 11 billion dollars in 1929. Table 2. — Trends in dollar volume of factory production (manufacturers' sales) are presented for the years 1939 to 1948, with details for 20 industrial classifications. Because of marked fluctuations in prices, wholesale price index figures are given for the same years. It will be noted that the 6 metal products groups represented ap- proximately 29 percent of total produc- tion in 1939, rising to 45 percent in the war year 1943. In 1948 the sales of metal products were 73 percent above the 1929 level, compared with an increase of 113 percent for textile products, and 155 per- cent for manufactured food products. Table 3. — A number of States show marked changes in their relationship to national manufacturing employment over the past 20 years. California, for example, increased from 2.7 percent of all factory workers in 1919 to 6.8 percent in 1943, and to 5.1 percent in 1948. For most States, however, the variation has been slight, except for the shifts during the war years. STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT 629 CM ©t- re N C CS CI /.

STANDARD INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION The Standard Industrial Classification undertakes to cover the entire field of eco- nomic activities in the United States: Ag- riculture, forestry, and fisheries; mining; construction ; manufacturing ; wholesale and retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; transportation, communica- tions, and other public utilities; and busi- ness, professional, government, and other services. It is intended primarily as an aid in securing uniformity and comparability in the presentation of statistical data col- lected by various agencies of the United States Government, State agencies, trade associations, and private research agencies. Further details are furnished in the var- ious volumes of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, prepared by the Bu- reau of the Budget, Executive Office of the President. Volume I, covering manufac- turing industries, was issued in 1945 (part 1, 81 pp., $1; part 2, 195 pp., $1.50; Gov- ernment Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C). Final reports on nonmanufactur- ing industries are scheduled for publica- tion in 1949. The outline given below shows the ma- jor SIC headings and identifying group numbers. This classification is now used by the Bureau of the Census, the Social Security Administration, and most other Federal agencies and State employment commissions, and by a growing number of larger corporations and trade associations.
