Plan for Protection of Rubber Industry
William Q Cramp of Miller Rubber Co named to the district committee on Preparedness by the Rubber Club of America. At the 16th annual meeting in New York on February 3 1916 the club adopted a plan to inform industry members about present and future welfare, create a permanent 20 member committee, and establish a fund of at least 1000 dollars with additional voluntary contributions as needed. The aim is to strengthen American business ideals and shield industry from unpreparedness and political pork barreling.
