The newer policies have principally to do with the idea of self-regulation in business and industry, and it has been possible to progress in these directions without overstepping the bounds of the commission’s powers as laid down by law. “Helping business to help itself” wherever and whenever it can be done consistently without prejudice to the best interests of the public as a whole is the principle of this new policy. A new constructive agency known as the trade practice conference division is proving of substantial assistance to the commissioners and to industry and business in the fundamental work of the commission--the elimination of unfair practices in commercial competition. This procedure permits an industry to make its own rules of business conduct; to establish its own law merchant, in cooperation with the commission. Cooperation with business also is carried on by the commission through the recently adopted practice permitting a prospective respondent to have an informal hearing before the board of review before a complaint is issued. The primary purpose of the hearing is to afford the proposed respondent an opportunity to show cause why complaint should not issue against it, and also afford the com-mission an opportunity to secure all possible facts

  • Consumerism in the 1920S: Collected Commentary
    BECOMING MODERN: AMERICA IN THE 1920S PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION ONTEMPORAR Y HE WENTIES IN OMMENTARY T T C * Leonard Dove, The New Yorker, October 26, 1929 — CONSUMERISM — Mass-produced consumer goods like automobiles and ready-to-wear clothes were not new to the 1920s, nor were advertising or mail- order catalogues. But something was new about Americans’ relationship with manufactured products, and it was accelerating faster than it could be defined. Not only did the latest goods become necessities, consumption itself became a necessity, it seemed to observers. Was that good for America? Yes, said some—people can live in unprecedented comfort and material security. Not so fast, said others—can we predict where consumerism is taking us before we’re inextricably there? Something new has come to confront American democracy. Samuel Strauss The Fathers of the Nation did not foresee it. History had opened “Things Are in the Saddle” to their foresight most of the obstacles which might be expected The Atlantic Monthly to get in the way of the Republic—political corruption, extreme November 1924 wealth, foreign domination, faction, class rule; . That which has stolen across the path of American democracy and is already altering Americanism was not in their calculations. History gave them no hint of it. What is happening today is without precedent, at least so far as historical research has discovered. No reformer, no utopian, no physiocrat, no poet, no writer of fantastic romances saw in his dreams the particular development which is with us here and now. This is our proudest boast: “The American citizen has more comforts and conveniences than kings had two hundred years ago.” It is a fact, and this fact is the outward evidence of the new force which has crossed the path of American democracy.

  • Toray's Founding and Rayon Business Development: 1926–1952
    Chapter 1 Toray’s Founding and Rayon Business Development: 1926–1952 Management during the Founding Years (1926–1935) In the inaugural general meeting of Toyo Rayon Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Toray”) on January 12, 1926, Yunosuke Yasukawa, who had been nominated chairman, spoke with conviction as he reported the following in his explanation of the first proposal on the agenda dealing with “matters relating to the company’s founding.” The development of the rayon industry in the West has been truly astonishing. In Japan, too, the value of rayon imports is climbing, which makes the establishment of rayon manufacturing opera- tions, as we are doing here, enormously beneficial for not only the advancement of our nation’s textile industry, but also the national economy as a whole. On February 9, Toray applied to the governor of Shiga Prefecture for a permit to establish a plant. It was granted on April 16. Toray observes 014 Chapter 1 the day as its Founding Day. Construction of the plant ran into difficul- ties, leading to substantial delays in its full completion and start of oper- ations. The ground at the site was soft and large quantities of earth and sand had to be carried in to prepare the foundations. It required the lay- ing of additional railway sidings. But although the main administrative building and living quarters for foreigners were finished in November 1926, the plant buildings, dormitory and company housing were only par- tially completed by year-end, delaying the start of operations until the following year. The February 1927 suicide of Antonio Minelli, who was in charge of the plant’s construction, was also a major shock to everyone involved.

  • INDONESIAN and MALAY STUDENTS in CAIRO in the 1920Ts*
    INDONESIAN AND MALAY STUDENTS IN CAIRO IN THE 1920Ts* William R. Roff Introducing the first issue of the third volume of the monthly Seruan Azhar (Call of Azhar) in October 1927, the then editor, Mahmud Junus, wrote that the journal Mis for our home­ land, because we recognize Indonesia and the Peninsula as one community, one people, with one adat, one way of life, and what is more, virtually one religion. n Urging the two terri­ tories to unite for the common good of their peoples, he went on, ". With this fcall,T students at present in Egypt can associate themselves with their homeland while at the same time making known their ideas for the betterment of their people and their birthplace. .?fl Seruan Azhar had been started by Indonesian and Malay stu­ dents in Cairo in October 1925, as the journal of the DjamaTah al-Chairiah al-Talabijja al-Azhariah al-Djawiah, or Welfare Association of "Jawa" Students at the University of al-Azhar-- "Jawa" in this context signifying, as it did throughout the Middle East, all Muslims indigenous to Southeast Asia. There had, of course, been Indonesian and Malay students in Cairo for many years prior to 1925, but it was apparently not until 1922 that they became sufficiently numerous, or sufficiently con­ scious of themselves as a group, to organize an association. Some time during that year the Djama'ah al-Chairiah was formed, with Djanan Thaib as first president. Djanan, from Minangkabau, had enrolled as a student at the University of al-Azhar in 1919, and later (in 1924) gained the distinction of being the first Indonesian or Malay student to graduate with the Alamiah degree.* 12 * The material on which this article is based was derived from the available written sources and from interviews conducted in Djakarta in November 1968, in Cairo in December 1965, and in Malaysia.

  • Bath, Michigan in 1927?
    UNCLASSIFIED A Fact Sheet form the Worldwide Incidents Team National Counterterrorism Center 8 October 2007 Did you know the first suicide car bombing took place in Bath, Michigan in 1927? On 18 May 1927, at 9:45 AM, in Bath, Michigan, United States, a timed explosive device exploded in the basement of the Bath Consolidated School, killing 38 children, two teachers, one school official, and two civilians; injuring 67 children and five teachers; and destroying the north wing of the school. At about 10:15 AM, the assailant drove his car to the school and detonated his vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) at the rescue scene, killing another child, one school official, a postmaster, and two civilians; and injuring three other civilians. No group claimed responsibility, but authorities believed a lone wolf was responsible. Remains of a Ford pickup truck from the Bath School Disaster on 18 May 1927 Called the “Bath School Disaster,”1 it surpassed the 1920 Wall Street bombing as the single worst mass-murder attack in the United States2 and held that dubious title until the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. The attack was so horrific that headlines around the nation carried the tragic story for days until Charles Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic Ocean setting a more positive American record. Some argue this attack does not meet the terrorism criteria. The motivation, however, does involve the issue of taxation. The perpetrator was Andrew Kehoe, a school board member opposed to a property tax levied to build the school. He credited the new property tax for his financial hardship, and his farm property was placed into foreclosure.3 Page 1 of 2 Document No.
