INTRODUCTION.

This report is a survey of the domestic dye and coal-tar chemical
industry in 1919, and presents the results of a special investigation
made by the United States Tariff Commission. The report is di-
vided into four parts, as follows :

Part I, a simmiary of the deveXopmentH in the coal-tar chemical in-
dustry^ 1919^ describes the progress made in the various branches of
the American industry. The relation of export trade to the in-
dustry is briefly shown.

Part II, a census of dyes and coal-tar cheimccds^ 1019^ gives a de-
tailed discussion of the significant facts in the production of crude,
intermediate, and finished coal-tar products during 1919. Dyes are
classified by their methods of api^lication, and imports in 1914 are
compared with production in 191Y, 1918, and 1919. The number of
employees, rates of pay, and cost of research in the coal-tar chemical
industry are shown.

Part III, a cefisus of dyes imported into the United States from
July /, 1919^ to June 30.^ 1920, shows the quantity and value of im-
ports of individual dyes.

Part IV, an appendix^ gives the imports and exports of coal-tar
dyes and chemicals and of natural dyes since 1917. A list of manu-
facturers whose production during 1919 was reported to the Tariff
Commission is also shown.

In the preparation of this report the Tariff Commission has had
the services of A. R. Willis, Warren N. Watson, C. R. De Long,
and Grinnell Jones, of the chemical division, and others of the com-
mission's staff.

Part L— SUMMARY OF THE DEVELOPMENTS IN THE COAL-TAR CHEMICAL

INDUSTRY DURING 1919.

INTRODTJCTOKT.

The Tariff Commission, in several earlier reports/ has described
the importance of a well-developed dye industry to the industrial
system of the country. These reports have also shown in detail the
progress of tlie American industry during 1917 and 1918. The com-
mission has also presented information relating to the cost of produc-
tion of certain important intermediates and dyes. The commission -
has analyzed the existing tariff law on djes and related chemicals of
coal-tar origin and on the raw materials from which these products are
obtained and has made suggestions for such a redrafting of this law
as would give effect to the intent of Congress in passing the act of
September 8, 1916. The present report is, therefore, confined to a
discussion of the progress which has been made in the American in-
dustry during the calendar year 1919. This report also presents the
available information on the condition of the dye industries of Ger-
many, England, Switzerland, France, and Japan.

The account of the progress of the industry, as given in the follow-
ing pages, is based upon detail reports from 214 manufacturers, and,
it is believed, that the canvas includes every manufacturer of dyes
and other coal-tar chemicals in the United States. The investiga-
tion was carried out in conformity with a request of the President
to secure information necessar}^ to administer section 501 of the act
of September 8, 1916. The production reports of individual manu-
facturers were collected by the Bureau of Census and transmitted
to the Tariff Commission for tabulation and interpretation.

In the tariff act of September 8, 1916, the coal-tar chemicals are
divided into three groups, which conform in general (although not
in every detail) with commercial practice. Group I, the crudes,
exempt from duty, which are contained in and separated from crude
coal tar; Group II, intermediates, dutiable at 15 per cent and 9rk

j^rocesses, and which, with some exceptions, are used only for the
manufacture of dyes or other finished products by further chemical
treatment ; Group III, dyes and other finished products, now duti-
able in part at 30 per cent and in part at 30 per cent and 5 cents
per pound. This grouping is adhered to in the following discussion
of the industry.

IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE DOMESTIC INDUSTRY.

The development in the production of coal-tar chemicals in this
country during 1919 is shown by comparing the production of that
year with the production during 1918.

1 Production of coal-tar distillers does not include production of crudes at by-product coke ovens, which
was reported to United States Geological Survey.

Crudes. — One of the outstanding developments during 1919 which
is of significance in considering the future of the coal-tar chemical
industry is the increase of 17.2 per cent in the productive ca-
pacity of by-product coke ovens in the United States. The pro-
duction of coke in by-product ovens was 56.2 per cent of the total
production, and thus for the first time exceeded the output of the
wasteful beehive ovens. There is no question that, Avitli the possible
exception of anthracene, adequate supplies of fundamental raw ma-
terials are now available from domestic sources for the future growth

CENSUS OF DYES AND COAL-TAR CHEMICALS. 9

and expansion of the coal-tar chemical industry in the United States.
In 1919 considerable progress was made as to supplies of anthra-
cene, the output of this important material being about three times
the production of 1918. Moreover, a larger proportion of it was
refined. Although this shows encouraging progress, a much greater
increase in output must be secured before there will be a sufficient
supply of anthracene for alizarin and vat dyes. It may be roughly
estimated that the 1919 production contained about one-fifth the
amount of pure anthracene required for American needs. The diffi-
culty in securing adequate supplies of anthracene is the most im-
portant and fundamental problem awaiting solution in the dye
industry. Important work is under way which points to the solu-
tion of this problem in the near future. When a sufficient supply of
anthracene is secured an adequate production of alizarin and vat
dyes will soon follow.

The value of the crudes produced during 1919. as shown in Table
1, does not represent the total production in the United States, as
those crudes produced at by-product coke ovens were reported
to the United States Geological Survey and are not available at the
present time. Complete information is therefore not at hand for
an accurate analysis of the production of these raw materials in the
United States during 1919.

Inter?nedk(tes.- — From Table 1, it is apparent that the total produc-
tion of intermediates decreased from 357,662.251 pounds in 1918 to
177,.3G2,426 pounds in 1919. This falling off was due to decreases in
the output of certain intermediates which were used during 1918 in
the manufacture of explosives and poison gases, or which were made
during 1918 with the expectation of future military demands. The
signing of the armistice left on hand large stocks of these interme-
diates and during 1919 they were diverted to the manufacture of dyes
or other finished products. The most conspicuous example of this kind
is phenol, which decreased from 106,794,277 pounds in 1918 to about
1,543.659 pounds in 1919. At the signing of the armistice about
35,000,000 pounds of phenol were on hand awaiting conversion into
explosives. Other similar cases include benzene sulphonic acid,
monochlorobenzene, dinitrotoluene, diphenylamine, nitronaphthalene,
and dimethylaniline, all of which were used in substantial amounts in
making military explosives as well as in dye making. If these inter-
mediates are eliminated from consideration, those remaining show
a gain of over 10 per cent in production in 1919 as compared with
1918. However, this gain in gross output does not measure the
progress of this branch of the industry. Of much greater impor-
tance was the appearance of about 76 intermediates that were not
made during 1918, and many substantial increases in the amount

10 CEl^SUS OF DYES AjS^D COAL-TAR CHEMICALS.

produced of certain intermediates wiiich are comparatively difficult
to make, but which are needed for dyes of high quality.

Dyes. — During 1919 the total output of dyes was 63,402,194 pounds,
valued at $67,598,855, an incresise of about 8 per cent in quantity
as compared with 1918, The production in 1919 exceeded by 38 per
cent in quantity the imports during the fiscal year 1914. The increase
in total output by no means measures the whole improvement in the
situation. An analysis of the figures for 1919 shows many instances
of substantial decrease in those dyes which are relatively easy to make
and also of those needed in large amounts during 1918 for Army and
Navy uniforms. Decreased output of these particular dyes has been
more than offset by the increased output of dyes of better quality,
many of which were made for the first time in the United States
during 1919.

The domestic industry has been especially successful in the produc-
tion of those colors for which there exists a large and constant de-
mand. Sulphur black, which is consumed in the United States in
larger amounts than any other color, was produced to the extent of
14,504,770 pounds by 13 manufacturers. Some of the American
brands are superior in quality to the best products imported from
vlermany before the war. Another notable achievement was the
production during 1919 of indigo in amounts exceeding our prewar
ijoaport. This dye, which ranks second in consumption by the United
States, ranks first in world consumption on account of its large use
in China.

As has been pointed out in earlier reports of the commission, during
1915 and 1916 the new American dye industry naturall}^ sought the
line of least resistance by making the d3^es which were easiest to make,
and the consumers used whatever dyes they could get instead of
the varieties they preferred. As a result there were many cases of
enforced substitutions of both German dyes (available from stocks)
and American dyes. This substitution in early years of the war
materially damaged the reputation of American dyes. During the
succeeding y<?ars there has, been a stead}^ and progressive improve-
ment in the situation. Although consumers were better supplied
with the particular dyes they desired in 1919 than they were in 1918,
there were still needed certain types of dyes which could not be sup-
plied from American sources in the quantity desired. Thus in 1919
there was an insufficient domestic output of vat dyes which, on ac-
count of their extreme fastness and beauty of shade, are important
for cotton shirtings, ginghams, and calicos. Considerable j^rogress
has been made, however, toward supplying these much-needed
colors. There is also a demand for many individual dyes of other
classes which are not yet a vaiLal^Le at all or only in inadequate amounts.

This is particularly true of alizarin derivatives and of certain other
specialties.

Export trade in dyes. — The domestic production of certain dyes
has developed to a point beyond the quantity necessary for domestic
consumption, and a large surplus has been available for export to
foreign markets, particularly Japan and China. During the calendar
year 1919 the United States exported " dyes and dyestuffs '' to the
value of $17,084,435, of which $10,724,071 represented aniline dyes,
.$1,355,936 logwood extract, and $5,004,428 other dyes. For the
nine months ending September 30, 1920, the domestic exports of dyes
and dyestuffs amounted to $26,032,389, of which $17,038,235 was
aniline dyes, $2,321,090 was logwood extracts, and $6,673,064 was
other dyes. This sum for the nine months of 1920 is more than double
the exports during the same period in 1919 and also exceeds the value
of total imports during the. fiscal year 1914. The actual quantity ex-
ported, however, is smaller than the prewar import, and the in-
crease in value is due to a higher value j)er pound. During 1919
and 1920 (nine months) Japan and China took about one-third of our
total exports of dyes.

In estimating the significance of this achievement of the domestic
industry in the exportation of dyes it should be remembered that
domestic manufacturers during 1919 and 1920 have met little com-
petition in foreign markets from German dyes. It should also be
pointed out that any deductions as to the competitive strength of
the domestic industry which are based on exports of dyes do not take
into consideration the fact that the domestic industry is still deficient
in the important group of vat and alizarin dyas.

The coal-tar dj-es exported include sulphur dyes, chiefly blacks
and browns; direct cotton dyes, chiefly blacks, greens, blues, and
reds; indigo (synthetic) ; acid dyes, chiefly scarlets and oranges: and
basic dyes, chiefly malachite green, methyl violet, and magenta.
The export trade in dyes is an important factor in producing dyes
at a low cost to the domestic consumer. German}^, in order to
minimize her costs of production, made every effort to develop and
dominate foreign markets.

Part II.— CENSUS OF DYES AND COAL-TAR CHEMICALS, 1919.

CRUDES.

Introductory. — The production of coal-tar crudes by distillers of
coal tar, crude light oils, and drip and holder oils is shown in Table 2.
Those firms engaged primarily in the operation of coke ovens and gas
houses, and operating distilleries for the production of crudes, re-
ported their output to the Geological Survey. Unfortunately the
production of crudes by these firms has not yet been tabulated, and
complete figures on the production of coal-tar crudes during 1919 are
therefore not available. It should be remembered that the figures
for individual commodities in Table 2 represent only a part (in some
cases a small fraction) of the total quantity of crudes available to
the dye industry in 1919. These figures must be considered in con-
nection with those for crudes at by-product coke ovens and gas
houses, to be published at a later date by the United States Geological
Survey.

There are, however, available facts showing that there exists,
so far as crude materials are concerned (anthracene excepted), an
adequate supply for the future growth and development of the coal-
tar chemical industry in the United States. For example, the Geo-
logical Survey has reported that the productive capacity of the by-
product coke ovens during 1919 increased 1T.2 per cent over that of
1918. During the war the military demand for the by-products of
coal distillation, especially toluene and ammonia, caused the War
Industries Board and the War Department to aid in the erection of
by-product coke ovens. The completion of many of these ovens
during 1919 is responsible for this increase in productive capacity.

During 1919 the output of coke decreased sharply as compared
with 1918 because of strikes in the steel and coal industries. But the
reduction was almost entirely accounted for by the output of the
wasteful beehive ovens. The production of coke in by-product ovens
in 1919 was only 3.2 per cent less than in 1918. As a result the out-

13

14

put of coke from by-product ovens exceeded for the first time that of
the beehive ovens, which do not recover the valuable by-products.^
It would appear, therefore, that there was only a slight decrease in
the quantity of coal tar available during 1919. Transportation diffi-
culties interfered with shipments of coal tar to distillers. This is
reflected by decreases in output as shoAvn in Table 3. Shortage of
coal due to strikes in coal mines also caused considerable quantities
of tar to be burned as fuel. These factors resulted in less tar being
distilled. In general the conclusion may be drawn that there was
a reduction in the output of crudes in 1919.

o The instructions sent to manufacturers were as follows:

Include under "dead or creosote oil " only products which may be used for creosoting. Include under
"otherdiitillates" shingle stain oils, disinfectant oils, and flotation oils which do not contain over 6 per
cent of phenol. Include under "refined tars" those tars which are used for road treatment, saturating
felt, and for protective coatings.

Phenol and all distillates which, on being subjected to distillation, yield in the portion distilUng below
200° C. a quantity of tar acids equal to or more than 5 per cent of the originaldistillate, are not to be included
hure but are to be placed in Group II.

Cresol, for the purpose of the schedule, is defined as a distillate, containing not more than 5 i>er cent of
phenol and at least 50 per cent of the isomeric cresols.

Shortage of naphthalene. — The output of crude naphthalene by
tar distillers during 1919 was 12,612,203 pounds valued at $327,201,
as compared with 40,138,092 pounds valued at $1,281,410 in 1918
by the same group of m^anufacturers. (These figures are not total out-
put, as previously explained.) This large reduction in output by
tar distillers was due to several causes, among which was the de-
creased distillation of tar. At the time of the signing of the armis-
tice there were on hand large stocks of crude naphthalene which had
accumulated as a by-product in the effort to secure maximum sup-
plies of toluene for making explosives. As a consequence, producers
of crude naphthalene expected an oversupply and therefore di-
minished their production by leaving considerable naphthalene in
the creosote oil, thereby increasing the yield of creosote oil then
in great demand. When export restrictions on dyes were removed
there developed an unexpectedly large export demand for dyes and
intermediates made from naphthalene. This quickly exhausted the
accumulated stocks and resulted in an acute shortage of naphtha-
lene toward the end of 1919 and in the earl}^ x^art of 1920. Imports
of crude naphthalene from England during 1919 were not as large
as was anticipated, owing to English export restrictions and trans-
portation difficulties. During the first nine months of 1920, however,
imports of naphthalene amounted to nearly 11,000,000 pounds.

The anthraceve situation. — ^Considerable progress was made during
1919 in the production of anthracene, but the problem of securing
adequate supplies is still unsolved. In 1918 the actual anthracene
contained in the crude anthracene produced was about a quarter of a
million pounds, but verj^ little of the crude product was refined. In
1919 the output of actual anthracene was about three times the 1918
production, and a much larger fraction of it was refined than in
1918. NoLAvithstanding this encouraging progress a much greater
increase in output must be secured before there will be enough

16 CENSUS OF DYES AND COAL-TAR CHEMICALS.

anthracene available from domestic sources to supply the demand
for alizarin and vat dyes which are so important to a well-developed
industry. It may be roughly estimated that the 1919 production of
crude anthracene contained less than one-fifth of the amount of
anthracene required for domestic needs. The fundamental difficulty
is not primarily an actual lack of anthracene in the tar, nor are there
purely technical difficulties in its recovery, but rather the fact that
its removal leaves the pitch so hard that it does not find a ready
market in this country. Any method of recovering anthracene which
seriously disturbs the marketing of the other larger fractions of the
tar, especially the jDitch, would make the anthracene so expensive
that the dyes derived therefrom could not be made on a competitive
basis. In England and Germany large amounts of hard pitch were
used for the briquetting of coal dust and coke breeze, but this industry
is little developed in the United States. England shipped con-
siderable amounts of crude anthracene to Germany before the war.

The securing of supplies of anthracene adequate in amount and at
a cost which is not prohibitive is perhaps the greatest difficulty con-
fronting the industry. Whether the problem will be solved by the
tar distillers or by the development of a synthetic process for mak-
ing anthraquinone (the most important intermediate made from
anthracene) from raw materials now available in adequate quantity
can not be determined at the present time. Active work along both
lines is well under way and important progress has been made during
1920.

Production of carbazol was reported in 1919 by one firm. It is
obtained as a joint product in the separation of anthracene from coal
tar. The development of a demand for carbazol would facilitate an
increase in the production of anthracene from coal tar.

INTERMEDIATES.

Introductory. — The production of intermediates in the United
States during 1919 is shown in Table 4 in as great detail as possible
without revealing the output of individual manufacturers. During
1919 there was produced a total of 177,362,426 pounds of intermedi-
ates, valued at $63,210,079 — a decrease of about 50 per cent from the
output in 1918 of 357,662,251 pounds, valued at $124,382,892. Not-
withstanding this large decrease in quantity the number of indi-
vidual intermediates produced in 1919 was 216, as compared with 140
in 1918. The 1919 output, with the exception of many of the anthra-
cene derivatives which are still not produced, more nearly represents
domestic requirements under peace-time conditions. In addition to
these intermediates, there were produced on a laboratory scale
119 intermediates or oriranic coal-tar chemicals for research and

CENSUS OF DYES AND COAL-TAR CHEMICALS. 17

8xi3erimental purposes. These totaled 2,291 pounds and were valued
at $23,333, as compared with an output in 1918 of 645 pounds, valued
at $7,843.

Intermediates used for military purposes. — The decrease in quan-
tity of intermediates can be traced dir£ctly to the cessation of mili-
tary requirements. There was a marked decrease in those inter-
mediates used in making explosives and in those required for dyes
for military uniforms. If the intermediates used mainly for
explosives be eliminated from consideration, the remaining ones show
an increase in output of about 10 per cent during 1919 as against the
corresponding intermediates in 1918. The most striking example of
a decrease in intermediates used for explosives is phenol.

The enormous output of phenol (106,794,277 pounds) in 1918, made
almost entirely in synthetic phenol plants, left large stocks of this
product on hand when the armistice was signed. Consequently, the
jDrice of phenol declined sharply — from about 45 cents per pound to
6 cents — but soon rose again to about 15 cents per pound. The surplus
stock of Government phenol on hand at the signing of the armistice,
about 35,000,000 pounds, represented nearly three times the normal
annual consumption. The Monsanto Chemical Co., of St. Louis,
Mo., was made the agent of the War Department for its sale.
The synthetic phenol plants responsible for the huge output shut
down promptly after the signing of the armistice, and many of them
were later entirely dismantled. It is probable, however, that the
present and future consumption of phenol will be in excess of the
output of natural phenol obtained by separation from coal-tar dis-
tillates, and that when the surplus stocks have been consumed some
of the synthetic plants will necessarily resume production.

Other intermediates used both for war purposes and for dye manu-
facture which showed a striking decrease in 1919 include mono-
chlorobenzene, witli a decrease of 80 per cent; nitronaphthalene, 36
per cent; dimethylaniline, 16.5 per cent; diplienylamine, and
dinitrotoluene. It is probable that the production of all of these in
1919 was below the amount used during the year for d^^e making, and
that stocks on hand November 11, 1918, and intended for military
uses were diverted to the dye industry. It may therefore be assumed
that the production of these intermediates during 1919 was some-
what less than actual requirements.

Intermediates required in the manufacture of dyes used for mili-
tary uniforms also showed a decrease corresponding to the decreased
output of such dyes. Among these may be mentioned: m-dinitro-
benzene and m-nitraniline vrhich are used in Alizarin Yellow GG and
R — dyes used on wool cloths for army uniforms — and m-toluylene-
diamine, used for sulphur browns on cotton cloths for khaki uniforms.

18 CENSUS OF DYES AND COAL-TAE CHEMICALS,

Intennediates consumed in- large quanttty. — As a rule the inter-
mediates for which there is the largest normad consumption and the
manufacture of which liad been well established by 1918, showed com-
paratively little change during 1919. Examples of th«se are nitro-
benzene, aniline, paranitraniline, and betanaphthol. On the other
hand, there are also many examples of a large increase in the pro-
duction of intermediates difficult to make but which are required for
dyes of the best quality. A good example of tliis land is amidonaph-
thol sulphonic acid 2:8:6 (gamma acid). This was made in 1918
by a single firm, but in 19,19 by five firms, Avith a combined output
of 155,025 pounds, valued at $667,360, which is many times the 1918
output. These five firms used gamma acid to make nearly a half
million pounds of Oxamine Black — an important direct black which
•can be developed on the fiber. Moreover, gamma acid is also re-
quired for other important direct cotton dyes of a fast type, and in
the manufacture of Zambesi Black, a very important dye for union
hosier}^

Toluene deriiiotwes. — There was a notable increase in output and
a marked decrease in price of those intermediates derived from
toluene. Benzoic acid, U. S. P., for example, increased in output from
172,896 pounds in 1918 to 699,108 pounds in 1919, and the price
dropped from $3,07 to $0.77 per pound. Orthotoluidine and parato-
luidine, important intermediates, doubled in output with about a 50
per cent reduction in value. The general increase in output of toluene
derivatives and the decrease in value are due to removal of war-time
restrictions on toluene and the lessened demand for it.

Intermediates derived from anthracene. — During 1919 the actual
anthracene content of the antliracene produced amoimted to 813,318
pounds, or over three times the output in 1918. In 1919 three firms,
as against only one firm in 1918, reported a production of refined an-
thracene of more than 80 per cent purity suitable for the manufac-
ture of vat and alizarin dyes. The total quantity of refined anthra-
cene produced was several times the output of the previous 3'ear. It
may be roughly estimated that over 4,000,000 pounds of pure anthra-
cene would be required to manufacture alizarin and vat dyes to the
amount of the average annual im.port from 1912 to 1914, inclusive.

The progress among the anthracene derivatives is of especial inter-
est. Here, unfortunately, definite figures can not be given without
revealing the production of individual firms. In 1919 there were 10
intermediates produced from anthracene, as against only 5 in 1918.
The output of anthraquinone, which is the most important because it
serves as the raw material for the manufacture of nearly all other
intermediates derived from anthracene, was about ten times as great
in 1919 as in 1918. Recent information indicates that several firms

CENSUS OF DYES AND COAL,-T.\E, CHEMICALS.

19

are experimenting on the production of anthraquinone synthetically
from benzene and phthalic anhydride. One firm is now (December,
1920) known to be manufacturing synthetic anthraquinone in com-
mercial quantities. The production of anthraquinone in adequate
quantity either from natural anthracene or synthetically from other
coal-tar materials already available will mean much to the future
development of a u'ell-rounded and permanent d3^e industr}- in the
United States.

TA3XE 4. — Production of iyitermcdiates durinr/ 1919.

[The intermediates are arranged in tliis table according- to chemical structure. They are
listed under the follovs-ing five classes : Benzene compounds ; toluene compounds ; xylene
compounds : naphthalene compounds ; and anthracene compounds. Each class of com-
pounds is further divided into 10 numbered subclasses, leased on the following arbi-
trary order: (1) Halosen, (2) nitro. (3) amino, (4) sulphonic acid. (.5) hydi-oxyl,
(G) alcohols. (7) aldehydes, fS) carboxylic acids. (0) ketones, and (lOi all others.
If a compound contains two or more radicals, it is arbitrarily classed under the sub-
class of the highest numerical order. For example, the compound nitrophenolsulphonic
acid is listed under the henzene compounds, subclass (5), hydroxyl. since the hydroxyl
radical is of higher numerical order than the (2) nitro and (-1) sulphonic radicals.

The numbers in the second column refer to the niimbered alphabetical list of manu-
facturers printed on p. 94. An x signifies that the corresponding intermediates -were
made by a manufacturer who did not consent to the publication of his name in con-
nection therewith. Blanks in the third and fourth columns indicate that there was
actual production of the corresponding intermediates in the United States during 1019,
but that the figures can not be published withaut reveaHng information in regard to
the output of individual firms. The details thus concealed are, however, included in
the totals. Reports have been received from all firms known to be manufacturers.]

IKTERMEDL^TES USED IN DYEIXG AXD PRIXTINO.

In many cases the last chemical step in the manufacture of dyes
can be advantageously performed on or Avithin the fiber to be dyed
rather than in a dye factory. In this way an insoluble dye can be pre-
cipitated within the fiber, and thus secure a high degree of fastness.
As a conseciuence, textile mills and other dye consumers have been
purchasers of intermediates. The German dye makers made a prac-
tice of selling intermediates for this purpose to textile mills under
special trade names designed to conceal the chemical nature of the
product. German firms were thus enabled in mam' eases to charge
prices to the consumers above the market prices of the intermediates
when sold under their true chemical names.

In Table 6 are given the trade names under which these products
were sold b3' German firms before the war, with the corresponding
scientific chemical names, the imports (when available) during the
fiscal year 1914^ and the American production during 1919. The

identification, of course, can not be guaranteed since it has not been
possible to make a critical laboratory examination of authentic
samples. It is based upon a careful search of the scientific and
technical literature and correspondence or consultation with a num-
ber of experts in this field. It is especially interesting to note the
extent to which these needs are being met by American manufac-
turers of intermediates. It is hoped that the publication of this
information will enable American consumers to purchase these ma-
terials under their own proper names at more reasonable prices, and
will also help American intermediate makers to supply those not yet
made in the United States.

DYIIS AND OTHER FINISHED PRODUCTS,

I vfroductory . — Tke finished products of the coal-tar chemical in-
dustry are many and diverse. They include (1) dyes, (2) color
lakes, (3) iDliotojiTaphic chemicals (developers), (4) medicinals,
(5) flavors, (6) perfume materials, (7) synthetic phenolic resins,

CEXSITS OF DYES AIsTD COAL-TAE, CHEMICALS. 31

(8) synthetic tanning materials, and (9) explosives. There are many
other substances belonging to all of these classes (except the synthetic
resins and synthetic tanning materials) that are not derived from
coal tar and that do not need to be considered for the present purpose.

A few minor uses of coal-tar products hardly deserve separate
classification for the present purpose. For example, sodium benzoate
and sodium salicylate are used as food preservatives as well as for
strictly medicinal purposes, but these uses are so closely allied that
it does not seem proper to set up a separate class of food preservatives.
Many dyes and lakes are used as inks or ink powders, either pure
or mixed with gum or other vehicle. A separate classification would
therefore result in the overlapping of the two classes of products.
Some coal-tar chemicals, usually and pro]3erly classified as inter-
mediates, are used for accelerating the vulcanization of rubber, the
most important being aniline, thiocarbanilide, phenylenediamine, and
nitrosodimethylaniline. As the substances used for this purpose
belong to tb-C class of intermediates and are so classified in the tariff
law, it seems inadvisable to set up another class of finished products.

The technical and generic relationship of these different classes is
exceedingly close. To a large extent they use the same intermediates.
Phenol enters into the manufacture of some representatives of each of
the nine classes of finislied products. Aniline is used for making dyes,
lakes, medicinals, photographic chemicals, and explosives. Numerous
other examples showing this close relationship could be cited.

In previous reports^ the commission has pointed out the close
relation of dyes to explosives and poison gases and the ease with
which a dye factory can be converted into an explosive or poison-
gas plant in an emergency. Since the signing of the armistice cer-
tain plants in the United States which were erected for the manu-
facture of explosives have been used for the manufacture of inter-
mediates and dyes.

A close relation also exists between the dye industry and the
manufacture of flavors, perfume materials, photographic chemicals,
and color lakes. A well-rounded, and matured dye industry would
inevitably be accompanied by these smaller offshoots, which in many
cases would furnish an outlet for by-products obtained in making
the intermediates needed for the dye industry. Tlie synthetic
phenolic resin industry and the synthetic tanning material industry
are not so closely related to the dye industry as are the other cases
cited. They are dependent chiefly uj)on phenol and formaldehyde,
and therefore furnish an outlet in times of peace for the material,
phenol, which is of sucli vital military importance.

CENSUS OF DYES AND COAL-TAR CHEMICALS.

In general, the products derived from coal tar are treated alike
in the tariff act of September 8, 1916. There are, however, excep-
tions to this generalization which the commission has pointed out
in previous reports.^

Table 7 shows in as great detail as is permissible, without revealing
the output of single firms, the production of finished coal-tar prod-
ucts during 1919. Table 8 compares the production in 1918 and 1919
of products for which output could be published. The outstanding
developments in the various classes of dyes and other finished coal-
tar products is discussed in detail beginning on page 43.

Table 7. — Production of finished coal-tar products during 1919.

[The number in the first cohimn identifies the dye according to the 1914 edition of the Schultz tables.
The second eolurtm gives the common name of the dye. The numbers in the third column refer to the
numbered alphabetical list of manufacturers printed on p. 94. An x sipoiifics that the corresponding
product was made by a manufacturer who did not consent to the publication of bis identification num-
ber in connection therewith. Blanks in the fourth and fifth columns indicate that there was actual
production durine; 1919, but that the fissures can not be published without revealing in formation in regard
to the output of individual firms. The figures thus concealed are, however, included in the totals.]

DYES.

In Table 9 the dyes have been arranged according to the method
of application on the fiber into the following classes: (1) Direct
dyes; (2) vat dyes, further subdivided into indigo and other vats;
(3) acid dyes; (4) sulphur dyes; (5) mordant dyes; (6) basic dyes;
(7) color lake and spirit soluble dyes; (8) unclassified dyes. The
available information on dyes including imports during the 1914
fiscal year and domestic production from 1917 to 1919 inclusive has
been arranged in this manner and the totals for each group are shown
in Table 9.

Although the distinction between certain groups is not clear cut,
particularly between acid and mordant dyes, still it is believed that
this grouping more nearly reflects the progress in the industry than
does that of Tables 7 and 8, which classify the dj^es according to

Direct dyes. — From a study of Table 9 and figure 1 it is seen that
in 1917 the domestic production of direct dyes slightly exceeded the
1914 import. There has been a small but steady increase each suc-
ceeding year culminating in an output of oter 14,000,000 pounds in
1919. This is an increase of about 40 per cent over the prewar ini-
IDorts and of 17.5 per cent over the 1918 output. This class of colors
ranked second in quantity of output in 1919 and accounted for
about 22 per cent of both the 1911 import and 1919 productio3i.
Of more importance than the increased output was the decrease in
quantity of the dyes of lesser importance in this group, which was
more than offset by an increased output of the better dyes and the
appearance of new dyes of a faster type. Thus there was a greater
A'ariety of direct dyes from which the consumer could make his
selection for dyeing cotton, half wool, and half silk goods.

Direct Deep Black EW with a total output in 1919 of 7,250,007,
pounds valued at $7,521,343, an increase over 1918, accounted for
over 50 per cent of the production of direct dyes. Benzo Blue 2B
ranked second in this group with an output of 1,380,335 pounds
valued at $1,386,291, a slight decrease from 1918.

Other important dyes in this class which showed an important
gain in quantity produced in 1919 were as follows: Congo Eed, in-
creased by 50 per cent ; Primuline, by 300 per cent ; Benzo Blue 3B,
by 100 per cent; and Chrysamine G, by 100 jxir cent: and Oxamine

Black B. H. N., Oxamine Green B, Benzazurine, and Oxamine Green
G, also showed large increases over the output of 1918, which could
not be published.

The following direct colors made their first appearance in 1919:
Those produced in considerable quantity include Chloramine Black
N, Diamine Fast Red F, Chloramine Blue 3G, Cotton Black E,
Chicago Blue 6B, Dianil Blue B, Chloramine Green B, Diamine
Violet N, Oxycliamine Orange R, Chicago Blue R and W, and Erica
B ; others produced in smaller quantities than those already men-
tioned include: Erica 2GN, Diazo Blue Black RS, Congo Corinth,
Benzo Black Blue R, Diamine Brown, Benzo Fast Scarlet, Titian
Red 3B, Azo Blue, Brilliant Hessian Purple, Salmon Red, Benzo
Brown 5R, Roseplienine lOB, Thio-flavine S, Benzo Blue R, and
Geranine. Several other important direct dyes were produced in
large quantities. These could not be identified according to Schultz
but are included in the total for this class. .

Indigo and other vat dyes. — It is in this class of dyes that the
domestic industry has been particularly backward, and in 1919 the
quantity of vat dyes, with the exception of indigo which is the most
important, was still inadequate for domestic needs.

The production of indigo (20 per cent paste) during 1919 of
8,863,824 pourtds, a slight increase over 1914 imports, may be
regarded as the most important development of the American
dye industry in 1919. The output exceeded the domestic demand
and large quantities of indigo were exported. Of all the dyes
produced in this country indigo ranks second only in quantity to
sulphur black, but exceeds it by over $1,000,000 in value. Brom-
indigos, which are of great value for cotton dyeing and printing,
were manufactured in considerable quantity in 1919.

The manufacture of vat dyes, not including indigo, is less de-
veloped and the output more inadequate for our domestic needs
than any other class. During 1919 four vat dyes (yellow, blue, green,
and violet) were placed on the market during 1919 by one firm, but
the output was only a small fraction of the domestic demand. A sec-
ond firm announced the production of three vat dyes in 1920.
Other concerns have also worked on vat colors, several of which,
including two yellows and a red, have already been offered for sale.
This indicates that fundamental developments in this field are under
way and an increased output of vat colors during 1920 may be ex-
pected. The manufacture of these dj^es has required the highest
technical skill, long research, and a large investment of capital.
On account of the present small domestic production they are prob-
ably the most needed of alJ, although the normal quantity consumed

CENSUS OF DYES AIsTD COAL-TAE CHEMICALS. 45

annually is smaller than that of other classes of dyes. They are used
for dyeing and printing fast colors on cotton and. to a lesser extent,
on silk.

Vat dyes, other than indigo, were imported during 1914 to the ex-
tent of nearly 2,000,000 pounds or about 4 per cent of the total for
that year. The production of these djes in 1919 was about 390,000
pounds or only one-fifth of the pr•e^Yar requirements. The future
development of a balanced industry will necessitate a greatly in-
creased output of these dyes. This will be possible only when an
increased output of anthracene or synthetic anthraquinone has been
attained. The development of a variety of vat colors should also
include the manufacture of thio-indigoids.

Acid dyes. — The prewar imports of acid dyes were equaled by the.
domestic output in 1917. Since then the production has increased
each year, amounting in 1919 to 12,000,000 pounds, Avhich is an in-
crease of nearly one-fourth the 1918 output and about 30 per cent in
excess of the 1914 import. Acid d3^es rank third in the c[uantity pro-
duced in 1919 and accounted for about 19 per cent of the total output
of dyes. This group of dyes ranks next to sulphur dyes, in being the
most fully developed in the domestic industr3^ The consumer should
have no trouble in securing a good variety and quantity of acid dyes.

In quantity produced during 1919, the most important dyes in this
class were Algama Black 10 B, with a production of 1,877,860 pounds,
an increase of 62 per cent over 1918 ; Indigotine, or indigo extract,
1,699,670 pounds, an increase of 18.5 per cent; and Xigrosine (water
soluble), 1,660,149 pounds, an increase of 39 per cent over 1918.
Other dj'^es in this class which showed an important gain in 1919
as against 1918 were : Metanil Yellow, which increased by 100 per
cent; Cochineal Red, 400 per cent; and Alizarin Saphirol B, Fast
Kcvd A, Aza Rubine, Brilliant Crocein, and Victoria Violet also
showed marked increase over 1918 figures which would not be pub-
lished.

Eosine, Bordeaux B, and Ponceau 2 R showed a marked decline
in output during 1919.

Among other important dj^es of this class are the following:
Naphthol Yellow, Alkali Blue, Tartrazine. Amaranth, Guinea Green,
Scarlet EC, Fast Red VR, Resorcin Brown, Azo Yellow and Violet,
Sulphonic Acid Blue R, Buffalo Black 10 B, Wool Red B, Chromo-
trope 6 B, Fuchsine B.

Among the acid dyes produced for the first time in 1919 there may
be mentioned Uranine, Sulphonic Acid Blue B, Chromotrope 10 B,
Brilliant Cochineal, Wool Green S, Erio-glaucine, Erythrine B,
Cloth Red G, Crocein 3 B, Neptune Green, Light Green, Fast Sul-
phon Black F. Ponceau G.

46 CENSUS OF DYES AlsD COAL-T.iTv CHEMICALS.

8ulphu7' dyes. — In quantity output the sulphur dyes have ranked
first each year beginning with 1917, althougli they ranked only
fourth in prewar imports. The domestic output in 1917 was over
15,000,000 pounds, or more than double the imports of 1914. There
was an increase to a maximum in 1918 of more than 23,000,000
pounds. During 1919 the output decreased by one-fourth— to 17,-
624,418 pounds, which is still two and one-half times the prewar im-
port. This reduction is more than accounted for in a decrease of over
8,000,000 pounds in sulphur olives and khakis required in cotton
uniform cloth.

Of the total production of dyes in 1919, 28 per cent was sulphur
colors; in 1918, 40 per cent, and of the 1914 imports 15 per cent. The
i^roduction of Sulphur Black is larger than that of any other indi-
vidual color. In 1919 it was 14,504,770 pounds, an increase of 17 per
cent over 1918. This output was 260 per cent greater than the 1914
import of sulphur blacks. The production of Sulphur Blue increased
over 50 per cent, to 1,622,762 pounds. Several new sulphur colors —
maroon, bronze, orange, and blues — were added to the list in 1919.
The sulphur dyes xoroduced in 1919 were of greater purity and higher
concentration than those of the previous year. The production of
this class is the most highly developed of all classes of colors, and is
in excess of the domestic needs so that large quantities have been ex-
ported. Sulphur Corinth was practically the only sulphur dye for
which no production was reported in 1919. In the absence of vat dyes
sulphur dyes have been of special value to the cotton trade.

Mord-ont dyes. — As is shown in Table 9 this class of dyes in 1917
had reached an output only slightb; less than the 1914 import and
in 1918 increased to about 5,600,000 j^ounds, or about 22 per cent
in excess of the prewar import. During 1919 the production de-
clined nearly 27 per cent to slightly loss than 4,000,000 pounds. This
decrease is accounted for by a reduced output of those dyes used in
military uniforms — chiefly by Alizarin Yellow GG and Alizarin
Yellow E (not true alizarin derivatives) used for khaki shades on
woolen cloth and, to a lesser extent, by Gallocyanine used for blue
Navy uniforms. Of these dyes the largest decrease in production was
that of Alizarin Yellow GG, from over 2,000,000 pounds in 1918 to
160,000 pounds in 1919. If the dyes of this group used for military
uniforms are eliminated, then the remaining mordant dyes shov^^ a
substantial increase.

Marked progress has been made during 1919 in solving the diverse
technical problems involved in the manufacture of mordant dyes,
particularly tliose made from anthracene. Probably the most im-
portant development in mordant dyes is the large increase shown in
the output of Alizarin. The availability of this dye, which is one

CEIfSUS OF DYES AXD COAL-TAR CHEMICALS. 47

of the fastest loiown, filled an important requirement of dye con-
sumers. Mordant dyes which appeared for the first time in 1919 in-
clude Alizarin SX, Galleine, Brilliant Alizarin Blue, Alizarin Green
B, Alizarin Orange, Alizarin Garnet, and Coerulein, all of which are
important in arriving at a complete dye industry. The successful
production of several of these dyes represents intensive research work
over an extended period and the investment of a large amount of
capital for their commercial output.

Considerable increase was made in those dyes the manufacture of
which had been previously established. The most important of these
include Salicine Black U, which increased 57 per cent; and Erio
Chrome Black A, and Diamond Black, which showed a large increase
over 1918.

As previously pointed out the production of mordant dyes of the
faster tyi>es derived from alizarin is entirel}^ dependent upon an
adequate supply of anthracene or synthetic anthraquinone.

The production of mordant dyes for 1919, grouped by color, was
as follows:

Color lake and spirit soJuhJe dyes. — This class of dyes, as can be
seen by referring to Table 9, in quantit}^ produced are the least im-
portant, amounting in 1919 to less than 3 per cent of the total. But
their importance can not be estimated by cpiantitative production, as
they are used largely in the manufacture of color lakes, a very im-
portant class of pigments for paint, lithographic ink, and other
industries.

The output of these dyes has doubled from 1917 to 1919, or from
934,360 pounds to 1,813,199. The 1919 output is 20 per cent in excess
of the 1914 imports. Induline spirit soluble and nigrosine spirit
soluble, with an output of 436,201 and 346,167 pounds, respectively,
account for 43 per cent of the total production of these dyes. Im-
portant spirit soluble d3'es also include Sudan I, Butter Yellow,
Sudan Brown, Oil Red, Sudan II, Sudan IV, Spirit Yellow R and G.

There Avere three important dyes used for color lakes produced
for the first time in 1919, namely — Lake Bed C, Permanent Red 4 B,
and Pigment Chlorine.

Dyes used in color lake manufacture include Lilhol Red R, with an
output in 1919 of 269,169 pounds valued at $103,926. Other impor-

48 CEIifSUS OF DYES AND COAL-TAR CHEMICALS.

tant dyes of this class include : Para Red, Helio Fast Eed, Lake Eed
D, and Pigment Scarlet G.

, Decreased consumpt'ioR of natural dyes. — In 1916 the scarcity of
coal-tar dyes led to an abnormal consumption of natural dyes. Since
then the steady increase in the domestic output of coal-tar dyes has
caused a marked decrease in the use of natural dyes. This forced
use of natural dyes demonstrated their merits for certain purposes
and has extended their field of application. Competition between
natural and synthetic dyes results largely, but not entirely, in a vic-
tory for coal-tar dyes.

Imports of the more important natural dyes have shown a gen-
eral decrease from 1916 to 1919. The total imports of crude logwood
for consumption for the calendar year 1919 were 29,022 tons, as com-
pared with 33,168 tons in 1918, and 40,921 tons in 1914. Logwood,
the most important natural dye, is used chiefly for the production of
blacks on silk, leather, and wool. It has advantages for black dyeing
on silk and leather not possessed by artificial dyes. It also has ex-
tensive use for the production of black on avooI. Natural indigo
imports for consumption also declined from 1,637,914 pounds in 1918
to only 234,991 pounds in 1919, and in all probability will soon be
negligible as was the case prior to the war.

Quercitron, the most important natural dye of domestic origin, is
prepared from the bark of the black oak {Quercus tinctoria). It
has extensive use in the dyeing of yellows, olive, and khaki shades.

OTHER FINISHED COAL-TAR PRODUCTS.

Color lakes. — The coal-tar products included in this group are a
class of pigments used for paints, lithographic inks, and many other
purposes. They are made by " fixing " a coal-tar dye on an inert
base material, such as aluminum hydroxide, or barium sulphate
(blanc fixe).

The total output of coal-tar color lakes in 1919 was 7,569,921
pounds, or a decrease of 25' per cent from 1918. Eed lakes were first
with an output of 3,151,149 pounds, or 42 per cent of total lakes. Of
this quantity about 17.9 per cent was Lithol Eed and 15.3 per cent
Para Eeds. The other important lakes in order of production in
1919 were scarlet, maroon, yellow, blue, eosine, green, violet, and
orange.

Photographic chemicals. — The total output of coal-tar products
used as developers in photography increased from 316,749 pounds in
1918 to 335,509 pounds in 1919. Hydroquinone, the most important
product in this group, decreased 11 per cent in output to 272,329
pounds. Methyl p-amidophenol sulphate (metol), another impor-

CEI^SUS OF DYES AND COAL-TAR CHEMICALS. 49

tant photographic developer, showed more than a 400 per cent in-
crease in production in 1919, as against that of 191S.

Medicinals. — The production of coal-tar medicinals in 1919, exclu-
sive of deducting 2,103,101 pounds of disinfectants— a product not
reported in 1918 — showed an increase of 1,051,535 pounds, or 29 per
cent more than the 1918 production. The total output, including
the disinfectants, was 6,777,988 pounds, valued at $7,883,071.

Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) in 1919 accounted for over one-half
of the total value of medicinals, the quantity produced being 1,777,105
pounds, or nearly double the 1918 output.

A large increase was reported in the production of acetphenetidine,
chloramine T, phenolphthalein, neoarsphenamine, l)-naphthol ben-
zoate, guaiacol crystals U, S. P., and guaiacol liquid ; while the follow-
ing products showed a decrease in output : Arsphenamine, bismuth
b-naphthol, bismuth tribromphenol, dichloramine T, phenolsulphoph-
thalein and phenolsulphonates.

The following are among the medicinals which were reported in
1919 for the first time : Anesthesine (ethyl p-amino benzoate), cincho-
jjhen (phenylcinchoninic acid), dibromoxy-mercury-fluorescin, cop-
per sulphocarbolate, sodium sulphocarbolate, zinc sulphocarbolate,
creosote carbonate, guaiacol carbonate, b-naphthol salicylate, amyl
salicylate, and ammonium salicjdate. The progress made during
1919 in the production of a greater variety of coal-tar medicinals is
an important addition to the American coal-tar industry.

Flavors and 'perfume materials. — Further progress was made dur-
ing 1919 in the manfacture of flavors and perfume materials derived
from coal tar. There is no sharp difference between these products,
many of them being suitable for both flavors and perfumes. One of
them, here considered as a flavor, is the substance saccharin, which
in recent years because of the scarcity and high price of sugar, has
had extensive use as a sugar substitute, and also as a sweetener in
chewing tobacco. The output of saccharin was 547,988 pounds,
valued at $1,017,091, or an increase of nearly 29 per cent over 1918.
This increase was made possible through the release from military
control of toluene, the raw material. The average price of saccharin
decreased to $1.86 per pound as compared with $10.55 in 1918.

Coumarin, used both as a flavor and as a perfume in scented soaps,
has more than doubled in output from 1917 to 1919. Synthetic
coumarin has practically replaced the natural product derived from
tonka beans.

Benzyl benzoate and benzyl acetate, ordinarily considered as per-
fume materials, were used in large quantities as solvents in the manu-
facture of varnish for aeroplane wings. Recently benzyl benzoate
has been used with considerable success as a nonnarcotic antispas-
22816°— 21 4

50 CENSUS OF DYES AlS^D COAT.-TAR CHEMICALS.

modic. The output of both products decreased in 1919. The output
of benzyl benzoate in 1919 was less than one-twelfth the 1918 pro-
duction, while benzyl acetate decreased nearly 50 per cent. Perfume
materials whose output increased in quantity during 1919 include :
Bromstyrol, cinnamic alcohol, methyl acetophenone, methyl anthra-
nilate, and methyl phenylacetate. Several perfume chemicals were
reported in 1919 for the first time.

Synthetic resins. — Although the total 1919 output of synthetic
resins was about the same as in 1918, the production of individual
resins differed widely. Those resins, derived from phenol by
condensation with formaldehyde and hexamethylenetetramine in-
creased in quantity as compared with the 1918 figures. As a direct
effect of this increase there was a decrease in output of resins ob-
tained from cresol, a subsittute for phenol during the war. Resins
made by condensation of solvent naphtha and paracoumarone showed
an increased output in 1919. The synthetic phenolic resin industry,
the products of which have many different uses, was created by inven-
tions of American chemists. The development in the last few years
has been achieved by laborious and painstaking research conducted
with an intimate knowledge of the requirements in other industries
in which these products are now used.

Synthetic taniiing nuiteriols. — Synthetic tanning materials are of
comparatively recent origin, having come into commercial use in
Germany and England since 1912. They are made by the condensa-
tion of certain coal-tar derivatives and formaldehyde in the pres-
ence of an acid. They have proved their value for tanning, but
they are sometimes sold in combination with a small amount of
natural tanning extract. Their use results in (1) great economy of
time required for tanning; (2) a satisfactory leather of light color,
and (3) a reduction in the quantity of natural tanning extracts re-
quired. As the supply of domestic natural tanning materials is de-
creasing, the domestic tanning industry is becoming more and more
dependent upon natural tanning materials of foreign origin. These
synthetic products, therefore, promise to be of great importance in
the future of the domestic industry. A single firm in this country
reported the manufacture of these materials in 1919.

EMPLOYEES AXD RATES OF PAY.

Employees and rates of fay. — Each of the 214 firms reporting
the manufacture of coal-tar chemicals was asked to report the num-

were available. Twenty-four firms found it impracticable to giv?

the information. In most of these cases the primary products were
;iot derived from coal tar and the departments were not separately
organized in such a way that the number of men engaged in the
manufacture of any one class of products could be definitely stated.
Certain other firms had gone out of business during 1919.

One hundred and ninety-one firms reported a total of 24,736 em-
ployees engaged in the manufacture of coal-tar products, of which
2,605, or 10.5 per cent, were chemists or engineers. This is probably
a larger proportion of technically trained men than will be found
in any other important manufacturing industry in the United States.
Employed in the main under the immediate or general direction of
these technically trained men were 22,131 skilled artisans and un-
skilled laborers. This is an increase over 1918 of 369 in number of
the first group, but a decrease of 2,861 in the number of employees
without technical training.

Table 10 shows the number and percentage of employees engaged
in manufacturing operations receiving specified rates of pay in each
of the groups of technically trained and untrained men; and the
percentage of the total of each group of employees recei^dng each
specified rate of pay or more. The proportion of technically trained
men receiving the higher rates of compensation is much greater than
the proportion of untrained men. For example, 57.4 per cent of the
technically trained men receive $40 or more per week, whereas only
12.7 per cent of the employees without technical training received
$40 or more per week. Thirty-two per cent of the technically trained
m.en received $50 or more per week, whereas only 2.6 per cent of the
men without technical training received that sum.

CENSUS OF DYES AND COAL-TAR CHEMICALS.

A comparison with the corresponding figures for 1918 shows that
wages during 1919 were substantially higher than in 1918. Espe-
cially was this true of employees without technical training, and
technically trained employees who received less than $50 per week.
For example, during 1918, 15.4 per cent of all employees without
technical training received less than $20 per week whereas in 1919
only 7.8 per cent of such employees received less than $20 per week.
Moreover in 1918, 5.9 per cent of all chemists or technically trained
men received less than $20 per week w^hereas in 1919 only 3.9 per cent
were receiving less than this weekly rate. During the same time the
group of men without technical training receiving rates of pay
greater than $20 per week increased by 7.6 per cent whereas chemists
and technically trained men increased by only 2 per cent. At the
high rates, however, this increased percentage is quite reversed. For
example, there was an increase of 6.3 per cent in the group of techni-
cally trained men receiving $40 per week or more as compared with
an increase of 0.5 per cent of employees without technical training.

In Table No. 11 a comparison is made of the percentages of techni-
cally trained men and men without technical training for 1918 and
1919. There was little change in 1919 as compared with 1918 in the
percentages of both classes of men receiving the higher rates of pay
($50 and more per week).

Table 11 shows very clearly the great dependence of the industry
on its technically trained employees.

RESEARCH WORK.

Of the total of 214 firms, 65 had separately organized research
laboratories for the solution of technical problems in the manufacture

of their products and for the discovery of new products. During
1919 the net operating expenses of these research hiboratories, to-
gether with the cost of research work done in the laboratories not
separately organized for research, was $4,274,247. This includes
salaries, apparatus, and materials, after deducting the value of
salable products made in research laboratories. This figure is prob-
ably an understatement of the real cost of experimental work, since
it does not include in all cases the cost of experimental work done
as a part of m.anufacturing operations and not shown on the books
of the companies as a charge against research.

NOTES ON DYE INDUSTRIES IN OTHER COUNTRIES.

Germany. — About 90 per cent of the productive capacity of Ger-
man dye factories is located within the territory occupied by the
allied and American troops. Inspection by the military authorities
has disclosed the fact that during the war plants which formerly
had manufactured dyes were engaged in a large scale production
of explosives, and of poisonous gases. An inventory of the stocks
of dyes on hand as of August 15, 1919, showed that the total was
approximately 20,000 tons, which is probably about one-tenth of
their annual prewar production.

Production of dyes in Germany during the first j^ear after the
signing of the armistice was practically negligible compared with
the prewar output. Beginning with February, 1920, detailed state-
ments of one-quarter of the monthly production (this portion is
required to be reserved for optional purchases of the allied and asso-
ciated Governments by the peace treaty, Annex YI, Part II) of every
dye in each factory were made to the Separations Commission.
Copies of these monthly statements through October, 1920, have been
received by the Department of State, which has given permission for
their publication by the Tariff Commission. A summary of these
reserved stocks in German dye plants is shown in Table 12.

During February, 1920, the quantity of dyes reserved by German
plants totaled 876,449 pounds, indicating a total output of over
3,500,000 pounds for that month. A progressive increase is shown
in each succeeding month to a maximum of 3,026,247 pounds in
August, which indicates a total output of over 12,000,000 pounds
monthly. Since August there has been a slight decline in reserved
stocks to 2,779,132 pounds in October. The rate of production from
July to October inclusive is only about one-third of Germany's
prewar output.

CENSUS or DYES AND COAL-TAK CHEMICALS. 55

England. — At least six English firms were manufacturing dyes in
1914, and in addition two other factories at Ellsmere Port and Brom-
borough Port were operated by the Germans in order to comply with
the patent act of 1907.

It has been estim_ated that these firms produced about 10 per cent
of the dyes used in the United Kingdom in the j'ear immediately
preceding the outbreak of the war, witli a total output not exceeding
2,000 tons annually/ The production included a fairly wide range
of acids, direct, basic, and sulphur colors, and in addition a limited
variety of alizarin derivatives. With the exception of indigo, vat
dyes were not produced in England. Development since tlie war
has been chiefly in the faster dyes including vats and alizarin deriva-
tives, and has resulted in the production of a considerable variety
in this field. The output, however, has not been sufiicient to meet
the domestic demand. Eecent estimates indicate that the present
production of fast dyes is about 25,000 tons annually.^ The range of
dyes produced, hov.ever, is limited. In January, 1920, the advisory
committee of the British Color Users Association visited Gennany,
and arranged for the purchase of 140 tons of dyes to relieve the short-
age of certain types in England.

Switzerland. — Although hampered by a lack of intermediates and
other raw materials, the Swiss dye industry developed during the war
to a remarkable degree, owing to the absence of German competition
in the dye markets of the world.

Since 1915, the Swiss dye manufacturers have been under contract
to supply English dye consumers with a large proportion of the dyes
made from English intermediates and other English raw materials.
England has therefore received more Swiss dyes than any other
country. In 1918, the value of the exports of Swiss colors to Eng-
land was over three times the value of those exported to the United
States. Switzerland has also imported intermediates and other raw
materials from the United States, France, and Italy.

The leading (Xyo. manufacturers of Switzerland have recently been
consolidated into a single company. This company controls a branch
in England and has purchased control of the dye factory of Ault
& Wiborg, at Norwood, Ohio.

^ ranee. — The development of a dye industry in France has been
slower than in the United States, England, or Switzerland. Several
plants maintained by German firms before the war have been taken
over and operated by French interests. They were located at Neuilly-
sur-Saone (Phone), Creil (Oise), Flers (Nord), Lyon, St. Eons
(Rhone), and Tourcoing (Nord). These factories were probably
established mainly for the purpose of evading the high French duty

1 London Chemical Trade .Toninal, Mar. G, lOiIO.

66 CENSUS OF DYES AND COAL-TAR CHEMICALS.

on manufactured dyes by importing the intermediates from Ger-
many at a lower duty. By the establishment of these factories in
France the Germans were able also to avail themselves of the free
entry accorded goods of French manufacture by French colonies.

Japan. — Before the war, Japan annually imported, mainly from
Germany,^ dyes to the value of about $4,000,000. In 1915 a law was
passed providing for subsidies to companies engaging in dye manu-
facture. The subsidies were to be in amounts sufficient to enable the
companies to pay 8 per cent dividends upon their invested capital,
and were to continue for 10 years. It is reported that at least three
companies are thus subsidized.

Many companies went into the business and at one time there were
more than 100 firms, with an estimated capital of about $7,500,000.
But many of these new enterprises proved short lived. Of the 72
firms reported as manufacturers in the spring of 1920, 46 had dis-
continued by the end of July. The number making sulphur colors
was reduced from 33 to 7. Those firms still operating are reported
to be working only part time. It is reported that the range of dyes
now made in Japan includes direct cotton dyes, basics, and mordants,
oxidized colors and sulphurs. The Mitsui Mining Co. is making
various anthracene colors and synthetic indigo. The Japan Color
Co. produces Sulphur Blacks, which have been exported chiefly to
China.

Part Hi. CENSUS OF DYES IMPORTED INTO THE UNITED STATES FROM
JULY 1, 1919, TO JUNE 30, 1920.

Section 501 of Title V of the act of September 8, 1916, makes the
specific chities on dyes and other finished coal-tar products after
September 8, 1921, dependent upon whether as much as 60 per cent
of the consumption of these products is being produced in the United
States. Unfortunate!}', however, the provisions are not clear as to
whether the domestic consumption is to be considered as the total
consumption of each cLass of finished products or the consumption
of individual items within the class. In either case tliere has been
a lack of detailed information as to the importation of individual
dyes, and therefore a census of imports was undertaken by the Tariff
Commission.

With the cooperation of the Treasury Department all invoices
covering dye imports in the fiscal year 1920, with the exception of
those of the port of New York, were sent to the commission for
tabulation. The statistics of dyes imported through the port of
New York were obtained by transcribing the necessary information
direct from the invoices in the customshouse files of the collector of
the port of New York.

The dyes were classified according to their chemical composition
and were tabulated according to the Schultz and Julius Tables, 1914
edition. Various dj^es were also identified according to Norton's
census^ as well, and from other sources of information in the files
of the Tariff Commission. Dyes identified by Norton as a, b, c
classes under a given Schultz number were included in that number
in each case without special designation, although it is understood
that such dyes are not always chemically identical with the original
Schultz types.

The Tariff Commission can not vouch for the accuracy of these
classifications, as some identifications were supplied by dye experts
and others by foreign manufacturers. Those dyes which could not
be identified by Schultz numbers were classified according to their
method of application as follows: Direct, vat (including indigo),
acid, sulphur, mordant and chrome, basic and oil-soluble dyes. A
small number of colors not classified by either method are listed by
name under the heading " unidentified and unclassified colors." In

addition, 9,352 pounds of dyes are included in " all other," as tlie
trade or chemical name for the dyes was not given in the invoices.

The published values of English dyes include c. i. f. charges, with
the exception of a small charge for packing. In the case of Swiss
dyes, however, all extra charges are included in every instance.
The German invoices varied in the methods used, but in most cases
the extra charges are not included in the invoice values.

The date of the consular certification was taken as a basis in con-
verting the foreign invoice value to United States currency. The
rate of exchange used as a basis in conversions was the exchange
value published by the Treasury Department for that quarter in
which the consular certification dates occurred.

Directory of manufacturers of coal-tar products during 1919.

[The list below includes all firms that reported to the Tariff Commission the production
of coal-tai- products during 1919, except 56 that objected to the publication of their
names. These 56 firms, almost without exception, are either out of business at the
present time or manufacture coal-tar products for their own consumption and not for
sale. Included among these 56 firms are firms engaged, primarily, in the manufacture
of textile.s, soap, rubber goods, perfumes, and inks. Coke-oven plants and gas houses
which reported to the Geological Survey and not to the Tariff Commission are not
included. The list includes manufacturers of crudes, intermediates, dyes, lakes, medic-
inals, flavors, photographic chemicals, synthetic phenolic resins, and synthetic tanning-
materials.]
