INTRODUCTION
This report is a survey of the domestic dye and synthetic organic
chemical industry in 1923. It presents the results of a special
investigation made by the United States Tariff Commission as to
the production in the United States of coal-tar dyes and synthetic
organic chemicals, both of coal-tar and of noncoal-tar origin. It
includes a detailed census of dye imports and official pre and post
war statistics for the imports and exports of coal-tar dyes by the
large consuming and producing nations of the world.
The survey is divided into six parts, as shown in Table of Contents
(pp. in to vi).
In the preparation of this report the Tariff Commission had the
services of Warren N. Watson, Frank Talbot, and C. R. De Long,
of the chemical division of the commission's staff, and of others.

SUMMARY OF THE CENSUS OF DYES AND OTHER SYNTHETIC
ORGANIC CHEMICALS, 1923
Introductory
The United States Tariff Commission has reported annually,
beginning with 1917, the progress of the American dye and coal-tar
chemical industry. Since 1919, the production figures on dyes and
other coal-tar chemicals have been supplemented by a detailed
census of dye imports. Since 1921 the annual census of the industry
has included a census of synthetic organic chemicals other than those
derived from coal tar. A discussion of the international dye trade
is also included, developments in the foreign dye-producing coun-
tries are considered, and information is given on the production of
dyes in France, Italy, and Japan. Official statistics as to exports
and imports of the more important dye-consuming and producing
countries of the world in post-war years are compared with those of
pre-war years. A new feature of the present report is the account
of the deliveries and the percentage distribution of reparation dyes,
together with the agreements and protocols concerning the German
deliveries of both dyes and pharmaceuticals to the allied and associ-
ated Governments.'
Other reports prepared by the Tariff Commission relating to con-
ditions in the dye industry include (1) Costs of Production in the
Dye Industry, 1918 and 1919, and (2) Dyes and Other Coal-Tar
Chemicals, December 12, 1918.
The general grouping of coal-tar chemicals adopted in the present
report follows that of the tariff act of 1922, which conforms in gen-
eral, although not in every detail, with common practice. Crudes,
paragraph 1549, free, are contained in and separated from crude
coal tar; intermediates, dutiable under paragraph 27 at 55 per cent
and 7 cents per pound, are produced from the crudes by chemical
processes; with some exceptions, the} 7 are used only for the manu-
facture of dyes and other finished products by further chemical
treatment; dyes and other finished products are dutiable under para-
graph 28 at 60 per cent and 7 cents per pound. The term "other
finished products" includes color lakes, photographic chemicals,
medicinals, flavors, perfume materials, synthetic resins, and synthetic
tanning materials. Explosives, derived from coal-tar materials,
although dutiable under paragraph 28, are not included in this
census. A summary of the production of coal-tar products in 1923
according to the classes given above, is contained in Table 1. The
figures of production of dyes and coal-tar chemicals in the United
States are compiled from the returns of 206 companies, and are
believed to form a complete record of the manufacture of such
products in that year. In presenting the figures the quantity and
value of each product are given in as great detail as is possible with-
out revealing the operations of individual manufacturers.

Summary of Domestic Production,* 1923
CRUDES
A new record for the output of by-product coke was established in
1923, when the total production was 37,604,743 tons, an increase
of 6,770,792 tons over the 1920 output, hitherto the maximum. The
total production of coke in 1923 was 55,565,000 tons; of this quantity
67.7 per cent was from by-product ovens and 32.3 per cent from
beehive ovens. In 1913 only 27.5 per cent of this country's coke was
produced by the by-product ovens and 72.5 per cent by the beehive.
The increase in the production of by-product coke has resulted in (1)
an increased yield of valuable by-products, including ammonium
compounds, for fertilizer and other uses, (2) the supply of gas used
for industrial heating and municipal lighting, and (3) a delivery of
coal tar far in excess of the needs of the domestic coal-tar chemical
industry. The tar is converted by distillation into crudes, whicn
serve as the basic materials for the domestic coal-tar chemical indus-
try. The production of tar in 1923 established a record, reaching
440,000,000 gallons, about one-half of which was used as fuel. Only
a part of the remainder was distilled into refined products, owing to
the large demand for such partly refined products as motor fuel,
solvents, arid pitches. In general, there was an increased output of
crudes during 1923, conspicuous among them being "motor benzol"
and naphthalene. For the first time, the total domestic production
of crudes from all sources has been combined, as shown in Table 6.
The Geological Survey collects information on by-products obtained
from coke-oven operations, the data being in Table 5. The United
States Tariff Commission collects data as to the output of crudes by
firms primarily engaged in tar distillation, and the results are sum-
marized in Table 7.
INTERMEDIATES
The total production of intermediates by 103 firms in 1923 was
231,393,871 pounds compared with 165,048,155 pounds for 1922.
The sales during 1923 totaled 83, 582, SOS pounds, valued at
$18,916,058. The average sales price of intermediates in 1.923 was
$0,226 as compared with $0.22 for 1922 and $0.33 in 1917. Although
the average price of intermediates changed but slightly during 1922
and 1923, it should be borne in mind that in 1923 there was an in-
creased output of the more costly products, tending to increase the
average price of intermediates. The average sales price of aniline,
the most important of all intermediates, was $0.16 for 1923 as com-
pared with $0.15 for 1922. The sales price of H acid decreased from
$0.73 in 1922 to $0.68 in 1923, b-naphthol (tech) receded from $0.24
to $0.22, and anthraquinone, required for the manufacture of alizarin,
alizarin dyes and vat dyes (anthraquinone derivatives) fell from $1.34
to $0.95 per pound. The total number of intermediates reported
during 1923 was 311, of which over 80 were not reported during the
previous year. Many of these additions to the country's manufac-
turing program are essential materials for the manufacture of the
faster types of dyes and are also used in the production of other
important coal-tar derivatives. The manufacture of these in the
United States constitutes a noteworthy advance in the domestic
industry. Coal-tar intermediates are required not only for the manu-
SUMMARY OF THE CENSUS OF DYES, 1923 5
facture of dyes but also in the production of explosives, medicinals,
flavors, perfume materials, photographic chemicals, synthetic resins,
synthetic tanning materials and accelerators for the vulcanization
of rubber.

Record 'production during 1923. — The domestic output of coal-tar
dyes in 1923 by 88 firms was 93,667,524 pounds, compared with
64,632,187 pounds in 1922. The sales for the year 1923 totaled
86,567,446 pounds, valued at $47,223,161. The present dye industry
is largely a development of the war and post-war period. The pre-
war production in 1914 of seven firms was 6,619,729 pounds, valued
at $2,470,096. Production in that year was dependent upon for-
eign countries, as most of the intermediates were imported, chiefly
from Germany. Among the more important factors responsible for
the large output of dyes during 1923 may be mentioned (1) the
activity of the domestic textile and dye-consuming industries, (2) the
occupation of the Ruhr, which caused a reduction in the output of
the German dye factories and consequently enabled domestic pro-
ducers to increase their exports of indigo, sulphur black, and certain
other dyes, principally to the markets of the Far East, (3) the rela-
tively high foreign price level of dyes as compared with those of the
pre-war period, and (4) the effect of the tariff act of 1922.
Further reduction in prices.— The average selling price of all dyes
in 1923 was 10 per cent below that of 1922. The average sales price
for 1923 was $0,545 per pound, compared with $0.60 in 1922, $0.83
in 1921, and $1.26 in 1917, the first year for which a census of dyes
of coal-tar chemicals was compiled by the Tariff Commission.
Continued advancement in the production of new dyes. — During 1923
nearly 100 new dyes were produced for which no production had
been shown in 1922. In addition, other colors, heretofore reported in
small quantities, were manufactured on a substantial commercial
scale. These comprise for the most part special dyes of greater com-
plexity, and more difficult and costly to manufacture. In most
cases they do not individually represent a large tonnage. Their pro-
duction, however, affords a better balance to the country's manu-
facturing program and reduces the number of dyes previously im-
ported for special uses. The additions include colors for use on silk,
cotton, wool, color lakes and for other purposes, and are representa-
tive of the different classes of dyes by chemical classification. Their
production has, in many cases, already been reflected in a decline
in the corresponding imports. The domestic industry, although to
some extent deficient in the production of certain vat dyes and other
colors, supplies over 95 per cent of the domestic requirements.
Relation of production to consumption. — Imports of dyes in 1923
were 3.3 per cent of the total production by quantity and 6.2 per cent
by value. They were, by quantity, 3.9 per cent of the apparent
consumption, assuming this to equal production plus imports minus
exports. Dyes produced in the United States accordingly supplied
about 96 per cent of the apparent consumption of coal-tar dyes and
there was, in addition, an exportable surplus of certain coal-tar dyes
amounting to about 18,000,000 pounds.
Production of dyes by classes. — The output of dyes in 1923, grouped
by classes according to the method of application, was as follows:
6 UNITED STATES TARIFF COMMISSION
Acid dyes, 12,498,817 pounds, or 13.34 per cent of the total output;
basic dyes, 4,157,373 pounds, or 4.44 per cent; direct cotton dyes,
16,858,387 pounds, or 18 per cent; mordant and chrome dyes,
4,078,504 pounds, or 4.35 per cent; sulphur dyes, 21,558,469 pounds,
or 23.02 per cent; vat dyes, including indigo, 30,113,642 pounds, or
32.15 per cent; indigo, 28,347,259 pounds, or 30.26 per cent; other
vat dyes, 1,766,383 pounds, or 1.89 per cent; lake and spirit-soluble
dyes, 1,171,854 pounds, or 1.25 per cent; unclassified and specialty
dyes, 3,230,47S pounds, or 3.45 per cent of the total.
Imports of dyes decline. — The total imports of coal-tar dyes for
1923 were 3,098,193 pounds, valued at S3, 151, 363, compared with
3,982,631 pounds, valued at $5,243,257, for the year 1922. Total
imports during 1913, prior to the extensive development of the
domestic dye industry, were 45,950,895 pounds. Of the total
imports during the year 1923, 47 per cent came from Germany, 28
per cent from Switzerland, 12 per cent from Italy, 6 per cent from
France, 4 per cent from England, and 3 per cent from all other
countries. Dye imports in 1923, classified by method of application,
were as follows: Acid dyes, 544,048 pounds; vat dyes, 1,207,554
pounds; mordant and chrome dyes, 453,415 pounds; direct dyes,
527,014 pounds; sulphur dyes, 114,023 pounds; basic dyes, 210,896
pounds; spirit-soluble and color lake dyes, 23,213 pounds; and
unidentified, unclassified and special dyes 18,030 pounds. The Swiss
dye manufacturers have a much larger share of the domestic import
trade — 28 per cent in 1923, 39 per cent in 1922, and about 20 per
cent in 1914 — than the size of the Swiss industry, compared with
that of Germany, would imply. The Ruhr occupation undoubt-
edly favored Swiss dye exports. Swiss dyes are for the most part
of the Higher-cost specialty type, to which most of the dyes imported
into this country belong. Dyes shipped from Italy appear to be of
German manufacture and are doubtless dyes delivered to Italy by
Germany in reparation payment and later sold to the United States.
Italy received up to December 31, 1923, 6,274,601 kilos (13,832,985
pounds) out of a total delivery by Germany in reparation payment
of 25,583,390 kilos (56,401,142 pounds) of coal-tar dyes.
Exports of dyes increase. — The exports of coal-tar dyes during 1923
totaled 17,924,200 pounds, with a value of $5,565,267, compared
with a total of 8,344,187 pounds, with a value of $3,996,443, during
1922. This increase in the domestic exports of coal-tar dyes may
be largely accounted for by the effect of the occupation of the Ruhr
by the French, which resulted in a decreased production of dyes in
the German factories and consequently gave domestic manufacturers
an opportunity to increase their exports to Far Eastern markets.
OTHER FINISHED COAL-TAR PRODUCTS
Color lakes. — The total output of this class of pigments in 1923
was 13,079,115 pounds, compared with 10,578,664 pounds in 1922.
The total sales of color lakes in 1923 amounted to 12,627,359 pounds,
valued at $5,124,732.

used as photographic developers totaled 343,289 pounds, compared
with 345,798 pounds in 1922. Sales in 1923 amounted to 321,083
pounds, valued at $443,697.
SUMMARY OF THE CENSUS OF DYES, 1923 7
Medicinals. — This class of coal-tar products may be considered
as essential to the national welfare. The highest technical skill and
the most exhaustive research are required in the development and
commercial production of these chemicals. The total production
in 1923 was 3,273,085 pounds, and sales amounted to 2,995,448
pounds, valued at $4, 720, 253. The 1922 production amounted to
2,946,347 pounds, with sales of 3,092,915 pounds, valued at $4,233,443.
Perfumes and flavors. — These coal-tar product^ are closely related,
certain members of the class being used both as flavors and as per-
fumes. The total output of flavors in 1923 was 1,458,024 pounds,
compared with 1,215,668 pounds in 1922. Sales amounted to
1,442,387 pounds, valued at $1,780,313. The production of per-
fumes in 1923 was 1,365,449 pounds, compared with 793,148 pounds
in 1922. Sales in 1923 amounted to 1,275,432 pounds, valued at
$789,431.
Synthetic 'phenolic resins. — These products are used as substitutes
for amber in making pipe stems and a great variety of other articles,
also for electrical insulators, varnishes, and lacquers. The 1922
production was 5,944,133 pounds; the figures for 1923 can not be
published without revealing the output of individual companies.
Synthetic tanning materials. — The output of these products
amounted to 1,910,519 pounds in 1922, but here, again, the 1923
production figures can not be published without revealing the output
of individual companies.
The total output of synthetic phenolic resins and synthetic tanning
materials in 1923 was 9,763,685 pounds. Each of these classes of
coal-tar products shows an increase in production for the past year.
The total sales of synthetic phenolic resins and synthetic tanning
materials for 1923 was 10,068,431 pounds, valued at $5,816,590.

SYNTHETIC ORGANIC CHEMICALS NOT DERIVED FROM COAL TAR
The Tariff Commission in 1921 compiled for the first time a
census of organic chemicals other than those derived from coal tar
or directly from natural sources. These included acids, alcohols,
esters, ketones, aldehydes, derivatives of alkaloids, carbocyclic com-
pounds, etc., used as perfume and flavoring ingredients, solvents,
medicinals, also in industrial and other processes.
SUMMARY OF THE CENSUS OF DYES, 1923 9
The development in the production of organic chemicals of non-
coal-tar origin has been comparatively unnoticed during past years,
because of the greater interest in the progress made in coal-tar chem-
icals. The rapid development in the past few years in these non-
coal-tar organic chemicals indicates the probability of further expan-
sion in this field, with the result that new products of great economic
value will continue to be placed on the market by domestic manu-
facturers.
The production in 1923 of synthetic organic chemicals other than
those derived from coal tar was'90,597,712 pounds, with sales amount-
ing to 67,727,067 pounds, valued at $13,875,521. Production in 1922
totaled 79,202,155 pounds.
Part IV of this report contains a detailed census of this group of
organic chemicals, showing production and sales in so far as the
publication of such figures does not disclose the output of individual
manufacturers.
International Dye Trade
Pre-war. — Prior to the war, Germany, with an output totaling
three-fourths of all synthetic dyes produced, dominated the world's
dye markets. Of the remaining one-fourth, one-half was made
from German intermediates, and its production was accordingly
dependent upon Germany. Switzerland, although without a domes-
tic source of raw materials, ranked second, with about 7 per cent of
the world's production. Great Britain produced about one-tenth
of her requirements, and France produced in French-owned and
operated plants from 10 to 15 per cent of her consumption. In order
to meet the patent requirements of France and Great Britain,
German manufacturers operated plants in those countries where the
final assembling operations were completed. The small dye industry
of the United States was almost entirely dependent upon interme-
diates from Germany.
Developments since 191 4-— -The acute shortage of dyes arising in the
various dye-consuming markets, due to the disappearance of German
dyes shortly after the beginning of the war, was soon followed by
prices of unprecedented levels, while certain dyes were not to be had
at any price. This dye famine threatened the activities of the vast
textile industries as well as other industries dependent upon dyes
for their operation. The manufacture of dyes was soon entered upon
in the United States, Great Britain, France, and Italy, and each of
these countries has developed a dye industry capable of supplying
from 80 to over 90 per cent of its requirements and has, in addition,
exported significant quantities of dyes since the war. As a result of
this remarkable period of expansion and development, the world's
present capacity to produce dyes is nearly double that of the pre-
war period. The estimated annual capacity to produce dyes by the
seven leading producers — Germany, United States, Great Britain,
Switzerland, France, Japan, and Italy — is considerably in excess of
600,000,000 pounds. The maximum estimated or officially reported
output of the seven leading dye producers is as follows: Germany
(1913), 280,000,000 pounds; United States (1923), 94,000,000 pounds;
Great Britain (1920), 43,000,000 pounds; Switzerland (1920), 24,000,000
pounds; France (1923), 24,000,000 pounds; Japan (1919), 16,000,000
1760— 24t 2

pounds; and Italy (1922), 10,000,000 pounds. This existing capacity
to produce over and above normal requirements is resulting in an era
of severe competition in the world's markets, which may eliminate
many of the plants now in operation. Owing to the position of su-
premacy held by the German industry prior to the war, the future
position of Germany's industry in the world's trade is of peculiar
interest. Her export trade has suffered severely as a result of de-
velopments during and since the war. In 1913 the German export
of synthetic dyes amounted to about 240.000,000 pounds, with a
value of about $52,000,000, while in 1922 it amounted to about
114,000,000 pounds, with a value of about $80,000,000. For the year
1923 exports from Germany totaled about 74.000,000 pounds, with
a value of about $17,000,000 (1913 basis) or $42,000,000 (1923
basis) .
Table 22, page 126, shows the imports of dj-es into the chief con-
suming countries for the years 1913, 1921, 1922, and 1923, and Table
21, page 125, shows the exports of coal-tar dyes from the chief pro-
ducing countries for the same years. These two tables indicate the
remarkable readjustment in the international dye trade due to
developments during and since the war.
On account of the commanding position in the welfare of the
German nation held by the chemical industry, it is highly probable
that Germany will make every effort to regain her lost export trade,
amounting to about nine-tenths of her total trade. One of the first
steps in this direction has been to form affiliations in the new
producing countries. Thus, in Italy it is reported that one of the
largest dye producers, the Bianchi Co., has a working agreement
under whose terms the Germans are to supply technical assistance
and in return for which Germany shares profits; exports of dyes by
this firm are restricted to the Italian colonies. In France, the Com-
pagnie Nationale is reported to have effected a similar arrange-
ment with the German "Interessen Gemeinschaft," * but the con-
ditions arising from the occupation of the Ruhr by the French are
reported to have affected the operation of this agreement. Negotia-
tions have been conducted for some time between the British Dye-
stuffs Corporation and the I. G., although no final agreement had
been made up to June, 1924.
In the establishment of branch plants in the new producing
countries, the Swiss appear to have been much more successful to
date than the Germans. Three large Swiss manufacturers now
operate, either collectively or individually, plants in the United
States, Great Britain, Italy, and France. It has been reported that
the Swiss and the German dye makers have concluded a working
agreement. The German industry has certain advantages over the
industries of the new producing countries, including cumulative
experience, unified organization for buying and selling, and lower
manufacturing costs. The high post-war price levels of dyes ex-
ported from Germany would appear to indicate a strong probability
of price reductions during the next few years. The commercial
warfare which is likely to follow may involve the utilization of
such methods as full-line forcing and dumping, such as were prac-
ticed by the German chemical industry prior to the war. The
i This body is universally known as "I. G.," and will be so referred to throughout the remainder of
this report.
STTMMAKY OF THE CENSUS OF DYES, 1923 11
retention of a tariff and other protective measures by the new'pro-
ducing countries will doubtless lead the German industry to form
affiliations or to establish branch plants in those countries along
the lines successfully followed by the Swiss manufacturers. In the
case of tariff reductions in the new producing countries, it seems
likely that Germany will attempt to recover these markets, and at
the same time retain the domestic centralization of dye production.
The war made clear the relationship of the coal-tar dye industry
to the production of munitions, war gases, medicinals and other
essential products, and demonstrated the desirability of home dye
production as a means to prevent shortage in times of war. This
will probably result in an effort by the large industrial nations]»to
retain dye industries of sufficient size to meet peace requirements
and to "provide for war emergencies. Reduced production costs
and constructive research will be vital factors in the maintenance of
their competitive place in the world's trade.
The occupation of the Ruhr in 1923 resulted in a reduced pro-
duction of dyes in Germany. The total output in 1923 was about
145,000,000 pounds, as compared with 193,000,000 pounds in 1922.
This stimulated the export trade of the United States and Great
Britain to meet the requirements of China, India, and other con-
suming nations, nonmanufacturers of dyes. The effects of the
occupation had largely disappeared in the early part of 1924 and
German dyes were again offered in sharp competition in the markets
of the Far East. In the spring of 1923 the French and Belgian
authorities seized about 6,500 tons of dyes, a large part consisting
of indigo and alizarin red. The British Alizarin Co. purchased a
large quantity of alizarin in order to prevent the demoralization
of prices by the dumping of this dye on the market, and nearly
1,500,000 pounds of alizarin were imported into the United Kingdom
in January, 1924.

Coal-Tar Crudes
Record output of by-product coke. — The preliminary figures for the
domestic production of coke in 1923, as reported by the United States
Geological Survey, show a total of 55,565,000 tons, an amount almost
equal to that of 1917 and only 1.6 per cent less than the record set in
the war year 1918. A new record in the output of by-product coke
was established in 1923, the year's output of 37,604,743 net tons being
an increase of 6,770,792 tons over the 1920 output, hitherto, the
maximum.
Since November, 1918, when the production of coke from by-
product ovens passed the production of beehive ovens, the by-product
coke has been continuously in the lead. In 1923, 67.7 per cent of the
total was contributed by by-product ovens and 32.3 per cent by
beehive ovens. These figures are especially significant when it is
remembered that the year was one of heavy consumption and favor-
able prices, conditions which should call forth maximum activity in
the beehive industry under the present ratio of capacity to demand.

The recovery in coke production was associated with great activity
in the iron industry and with a shortage of household fuel. As stated
in the census of 1921, the replacement of beehive ovens by the by-
product variety, which recovers the tar, ammonia, and gas products
entirely wasted by the old beehive type, is for the following reasons
of great economic significance in the conservation of national re-
sources: (1) The b} T -product ovens increase production of am-
monium compounds for fertilizer and other uses; (2) the gas pro-
duced in these ovens is used for municipal lighting and industrial
heating; and (3) the output of tar insures an abundant supply of coal
tar for the preparation of crudes serving as a basis of the domestic
coal-tar dye and chemical industry.

UNITED STATES TARIFF COMMISSION
Production of tars. — The output of coal tar in 1923 was about 440,-
000,000 gallons, compared with 328,000,000 gallons in 1922. Accord-
ing to the preliminary figures sales of coal tar during 1923 were about
211,000,000 gallons, valued at $9,200,000. The domestic supply of
tar is far in excess of the requirements of the domestic coal-tar
chemical industry. Of the total production during 1923, 48 per
cent was sold and 52 per cent consumed, largely as boiler fuel, in
metallurgical plants. This indicates that about one-half of the total
production of tar is used as a fuel. That a similar condition existed
in 1921 and 1922, is indicated by the production and disposition of
coke-oven tar in the United States during the years 1918-1923, as
given in Table 4.
In times of fuel shortage the value of tar as fuel increases; in any
case, the tar distiller must pay somewhat more than the fuel value
of the tar. Of the total tar sold by the coke-oven operators only
part is distilled into refined benzene, toluene, naphthalene, and
anthracene; this is accounted for by the demand for such partly
refined products as motor fuel, solvents, and soft pitches.

PRODUCTION OF DYES AND COAL-- TAB CHEMICALS, 1923
17
Total commercial production of crudes. — The data on domestic pro-
duction of crudes are collected either by the Tariff Commission or
by the Geological Survey, according to the producer. Crudes dis-
tilled from tar at the by-product coke-oven plants are reported to
the Geological Survey and the output by firms primarily engaged
in the distillation of tar is reported to the Tariff Commission. For
the first time, the total commercial production of benzene, "motor
benzol," toluene, solvent naphtha, and naphthalene from all sources
has been combined into a single compilation. This covers the period
1918-1923 and the production data shown in Table 6. An examina-
tion of this table shows that there was, in general, an increase in the
output of these items in 1923. The production of " motor benzol"
ana naphthalene recorded notable increases over the figures for 1922.
The production of by-products obtained from coke-oven operations
for the years 1921-1923, together with quantity and value of the
sales, is given in Table 5. The production of crudes by firms engaged
primarily in the distillation of coal tar is shown in Table 7. Note-
worthy increases in the 1923 production are shown for naphthalene,
cresylic acid, dead oil, anthracene oil, and other distillates.

PRODUCTION OF DYES AND COAL-TAR CHEMICALS, 1923 21
Imports.- — Domestic imports for consumption are given in the
Appendix in Part VI of this publication. In general, imports of
crudes in 1923 registered an increase over those of 1922. One of the
principal reasons for this was the large raw material requirements of
the timber preserving and chemical industries. Dead or creosote oil,
used largely as a timber preservative, led this group both in quantity
and value, with a total of 64,199,636 gallons, valued at $10,071,393.
This was approximately a 54 per cent increase over the figures for
1922.
The imports of naphthalene ranked second, totaling 20,992,439
pounds, valued at $575,702, compared with 3,144,332 pounds, valued
at $54,029, for 1922. Owing to the demand for this product, im-
ports were large during the first seven months of 1923. The in-
crease in price stimulated production and during the latter part of
the year the price receded to the January level. Imports of crude
cresylic acid totaled 5,761,011 pounds, with a value of $489,824.
Other coal-tar crudes showing an increased importation during 1923
include anthracene (purity less than 30 per cent), 869,780 pounds,
valued at $23,925; pyridine, 764,918 pounds, valued at $266,184; and
benzene, 701,857 pounds, valued at $21,903.
Intermediates
description
This class of coal-tar chemicals does not occur as such in coal tar,
but is prepared from the crudes (benzene, toluene, naphthalene, and
anthracene) by chemical treatment with sulphuric acid, nitric acid,
alkalies, chlorine, or other chemicals. From fewer than 10 coal-tar
crudes 200 to 300 intermediates are prepared for use in the pro-
duction of hundreds of dyes. The various chemical stages in the
conversion of crudes to intermediates are (1) nitration, (2) reduction,
(3) sulphonation, (4) caustic fusion, (5) chlorination, (6) alkylation,
(7) liming, (8) condensation, (9) carboxylation, (10) oxidation, and
(11) diazotization.
Intermediates are therefore the raw materials which are converted
by complex chemical processes into dyes, medicinals, perfumes,
flavors, photographic chemicals, and synthetic resins and tanning
materials. They are also used as accelerators in the vulcanization
of rubber, as camphor substitutes, in the direct production of dyes
on the fiber, and for increasing the fastness of dyed colors, in which
case they are known as "developers." After purification, many
intermediates are used directly as drugs, perfumes, and flavors.
PRODUCTION
The production of intermediates in the United States in 1923 is
given in Table 8 in as great detail as is possible without revealing
the output of individual manufacturers. The total output in 1923
was 231,393,871 pounds, compared with 165,048,155 pounds in
1922. Sales in 1923 totaled 83,582,808 pounds, with a value of
$18,916,058. The average price of intermediates sold in 1923 was
22 UNITED STATES TAEIFF COMMISSION
$0,226, as compared with $0,223 for 1922. Although the average
price of the total sales for 1923 and 1922 shows practically no change,
there were marked decreases in the average sales prices of certain
basic intermediates. As an offset to these declines there were in-
creased quantities of the special and more costly intermediates enter-
ing into the production of the faster types of dyes. The average
sales price of aniline showed little change, being $0,158 for 1923, as
compared with $0,151 for 1922. It is of interest to note, in this con-
nection, that aniline oil was quoted at $0.10^ in 1913 and that the
invoice value of imports in the fiscal year 1913-14 was $0,071. During
the war it was quoted as high as 40 to 50 cents per pound. H acid
decreased from $0.73 in 1922 to $0,675 in 1923, while b-naphthol,
tech., declined from $0.24 to $0.22. Naphthalene, refined, declined
from $0.06 to $0,058 per pound, and anthraquinone (100 per cent),
required for the manufacture of synthetic alizarin and anthraquinone
vat dyes, receded from $1.34 to $0,947 per pound.
The total number of intermediates reported was 311, of which
over 80 were not reported during 1922. Many of these new products
comprised intermediates of great complexity, and their production
represents notable progress in the dye industry. They are almost
entirely required for the manufacture of the fast and special types
of colors, in which field the industry made a conspicuous expansion
during 1923.
Aniline. — Aniline manufactured from benzene, through the inter-
mediate product nitrobenzene, is the most important of all finished
intermediates. It ranked, in 1923, first in value and quantity.
Aniline is used in the production of dyes of almost every class,
whether the classification be based on the method of application or
on the chemical constitution. Three of the leading domestic dyes by
quantity of output, namely, Indigo, Direct black EW, and Agalma
black 10B, require aniline in their manufacture. The output of
aniline in 1923 was 26,671,961 pounds, compared with 21,401,864
pounds in 1922. The largest output was in 1920, when the total was
39,234,186 pounds, valued at $10,923,648.
Naphthalene derivatives. — The most important intermediate derived
from naphthalene is b-naphthol. The output in 1923 was 5,741,355
pounds, compared with a production of 3,255,901 pounds in 1922.
Sales in 1923 were 4,528,238 pounds, valued at $994,635, or 22 cents
per pound, a decrease of 2 cents per pound from that of the previous
year.
H acid (l-amino-8-naphthol-3:6-disulphonic acid) ranks second
among naphthalene derivatives and is one of the most important
intermediates required for the production of direct cotton and acid
dyes of the azo class. Production of H acid in 1923 was 3,462,664
pounds, with sales amounting to 1,392,506 pounds, valued at $940,272.
Phthalic anhydride is another intermediate derived from naphtha-
lene. It is essential to the preparation of synthetic anthraquinone,
which, in turn, is the intermediate used in the production of synthetic
alizarin and the anthraquinone vat dyes, including the indanthrenes
and most of the algols. In addition, phthalic anhydride is used in
the preparation of fluorescein, the eosine dyes, and the rhodamines.
PRODUCTION OF DYES AND COAL-TAR CHEMICALS, 1923 23
The domestic production of phthalic anhydride in 1923 established a
new record, 2,343,802 pounds, compared with 1,629,182 pounds in
1922.
Fumaric and mdleic acid. — In 1923 production was reported for the
first time of these two acids by a synthetic process — the direct oxida-
tion of benzene with air in the presence of a catalyst. This is a
notable discovery of the domestic chemical industry. These two acids
appear to hold "considerable promise of application in the chemical
and associated industries. Maleic acid may serve as the base for
the manufacture of many hitherto rare compounds. It is now con-
verted into malic acid, which is used as a food acidulant. Fumaric
acid is used in the textile industry.
Anthraquinone. — The large increase in the production of anthra-
quinone in 1923 represents one of the significant stages of progress
in that year. Anthraquinone is used in the manufacture of certain
vat dyes" (including indanthrenes and most of the algol dyes, synthetic
alizarin, and other alizarin derivatives.) Anthraquinone is produced
in the United States by the oxidation of anthracene, the latter being
derived from coal tar, and by synthesis from phthalic anhydride and
benzene. There has been a marked tendency to increase the propor-
tion of the total domestic output by the synthetic process. The total
production of anthraquinone in 1923 was 857,190 pounds, compared
with 395,107 pounds in 1922. Approximately one-half of the total
1923 output was produced by the synthetic process, this representing
a very large increase in the proportion produced by this process over
that of 1922.
Special intermediates register large increase. — -An examination of the
intermediates used in the preparation of fast and special dyes, these
being consumed in relatively small quantities as compared with bulk
colors, shows a greatly increased output of these special products in
1923. Among these may be mentioned Chicago acid (l-amino-8-
naphthol-2:4-disulphonic acid), J-acid urea, diethyl-m-aminophenol,
ethyl benzyl aniline, xylidine, Broenner's acid, 2-chloro-5-toluidine-4-
sulphonic acid, J-acid (2-amino-5-naphthol-7-sulphonic acid), pyraz-
olone, Michler's ketone, benzoyl chloride, and the anthraquinone
derivatives.
New intermediates. — In 1923 production of 311 coal-tar interme-
diates was reported, of which over 80 were new products not reported
during the year 1922. These new products comprise for the most
part intermediates used in the manufacture of the more complex dyes
and other coal-tar products and several used in the vulcanization of
rubber. The developments of the year are indicated by the pro-
duction of these more complex products, presenting many technical
problems in their production on a commercial scale. Among these
recent additions are included chloropyrazolone, dehydrothio-m-
xylidine, dibenzylsulphoxide, dimethyltetra aminodiphenylmethane,
ethyl carbazole. fumaric acid, maleic acid, methyl anthraquinone,
phenazine, quinaldine, tetraaminoditolylmethane. and several anthra-
quinone derivatives.
24 UNITED STATES TARIFF COMMISSION
INVESTIGATION OF PHENOL AND CRESYLIC ACID UNDER SECTION 315
Phenol. — An investigation under the provisions of section 315,
Title III of the act of 1922, was ordered by the Tariff Commission
on May 4, 1923, in response to a request for a decrease in the duty
on phenol.
The foreign (Great Britain) and domestic costs investigations were
completed during the period from June to November, 1923, and on
December 13, 1923, after giving due notice as required by law, the
commission ordered a public hearing for January 24, 1924. The
hearing was completed on that date and further oral argument was
waived. Interested parties were given until March 15, 1924, for the
filing of briefs.
The present annual consumption of phenol is estimated to be about
11,000,000 pounds. The production of natural phenol from coal tar
is only a fraction of this, and the production from this source in the
United States is supplemented by synthetic phenol.
The cost of manufacture of synthetic phenol is higher than that of
natural phenol. A comparison of the cost of manufacture of phenol
(natural) in England, obtained by the Tariff Commission, with a
weighted average of the cost of the domestic natural and synthetic
phenol show that if the total English cost is taken as 100 the domestic
weighted average is 142.5.
The manufacturer in Great Britain has the advantage of cheaper
raw materials (tar acids) than the American manufacturer, and
furthermore the percentage of phenols is higher in the British tar
than in the American tar.
The lower-cost natural phenol at the time of the investigation
supplied a greater part of consumption than the synthetic product.
The output of synthetic phenol is increasing and in future will be
a factor of increasing importance in supplying requirements.
Large increase in output of phenol: The large output of phenol
in 1923 represents one of the notable expansions in the industry
during that year. The production for 1923 was 3,310,911 pounds,
compared with 1,285,978 pounds in 1922. Total sales during 1923
were 2,180,244 pounds, valued at $589,822 ($0.27 per pound), as
against a total sales of 1,266,552 pounds, valued at $268,311, in 1922
($0.21 per pound).
The Government war stock carry-over of phenol, which amounted
to approximately 35,000,000 pounds, was believed to be 'sufficient
for a four years' normal supply based upon pre-war consumption
of about 9,000,000 pounds a year. Owing to the increased demand
for phenol in the manufacture of synthetic phenolic resins, the war
stocks were exhausted sooner than was anticipated.
Several manufacturers started producing synthetic phenol in 1923.
One of the large manufacturers of phenolic resins has built a synthetic
phenol plant and estimates that its production will be at the rate
of 7,000,000 pounds a year by the end of 1924. . The Barrett Co.
estimates its production of phenol for the year 1924 at from
2,000,000 to 2,500,000 pounds.
The synthetic phenol will probably be a factor of increasing
importance in supplying domestic requirements.
PRODUCTION OF DYES AND COAXrTAR CHEMICALS, 1923 25
Cresylic acid.— -On May 4, 1923, the commission ordered an in-
vestigation of cresylic acid for the purposes of section 315 of the
tariff act of 1922, in response to requests for a decrease in the duty
on cresol or cresylic acid.
The foreign and domestic costs investigations were completed
during the period from June to November, 1923, and on December
13, 1923, the commission ordered a public hearing for January 24,
1924, which was postponed at that time to February 14, 1924. The
hearing was completed on that date and further oral argument was
waived. Interested parties were given until March 15, 1924, for
the filing of briefs. As a result of the cost investigation conducted
by the Tariff Commission, it was found that, taking the domestic cost
of manufacture of cresylic acid as 100, the cost of manufacture in
the United Kingdom was 50.46 in 1923.
It is difficult accurately to estimate domestic consumption of
cresylic acid. In the period from 1917 to 1920, inclusive, when
imports were fairly uniform and when there was little domestic
production, the total imports indicate an annual consumption of
cresylic acid of between 8,000,000 and 10,000,000 pounds. Although
the total potential capacity of domestic producers of cresylic acids
is estimated at approximately 9,500,000 pounds, domestic produc-
tion has been about one-half of the maximum capacity.
Taking into consideration the expansion of the consuming indus-
tries, it seems likely that the present consumption of cresol and
cresylic acid is between 10,000,000 and 12,000,000 pounds per year.
In the manufacture of cresols and cresylic acid from coal-tar distil-
lates as carried on both in the United States and abroad phenol is
one of the by-products obtained. The crude tar acids, after removal
of the crude phenol fraction, yield various grades of cresols and
cresylic acids. In American practice the fractions usually obtained,
in their order after the crude phenol fraction, are (1) ortho cresol,
(2) meta and para cresol, (3) cresol U. S. P., (4) refined cresylic acid,
(5) crude cresylic acid 97-99 per cent straw color, and (6) crude
cresylic acid 95 per cent dark. Both in the United Kingdom and in
this country the companies consider that the production cost of
cresylic acid and the production cost of crude carbolic acid are the
same, because they are produced simultaneously in the same plant.
Cresylic acid records large increase in production: As in the case of
Ehenol, the production of cresylic acid registered a notable increase,
eing about double that of the previous year.
The production of cresylic acid has shown a large increase since
the passage of the tariff act of 1922. During recent months the im-
ports of duty-free cresylic acid have increased greatly. These imports
comprised in large part a grade of cresylic acid just below the speci-
fications of the dutiable grades of paragraph 27 of the act, a grade
which is readily converted into a refined cresylic acid by a simple
distillation.

velopers), (4) medicinals, (5) flavors, (6) perfume materials, (7) syn-
thetic phenolic resins, (8) synthetic tanning materials. In previous
reports the Tariff Commission has emphasized the close relationship
existing between the manufacture of explosives, poisonous gases, and
dyes, also the fact that many explosive plants since the signing of the
armistice have been converted into dye factories. During the war
the dye plants of Germany supplied the army of that country with
poisonous gases and explosives. The dye industry is also closely
connected with the manufacture of flavors, perfume materials,
photographic chemicals, medicinals, and other coal-tar products,
which, although produced in smaller quantities than dyes, use as raw
materials many of the by-products obtained in the manufacture of
coal-tar dyes.
The production of dyes and other finished products in 1923 is
shown in Table 12 in as great detail as is possible without revealing
the output of individual manufacturers.
The total production of dyes and other finished coal-tar chemicals in
1923, by 164 firms, was 122,950,171 pounds, compared with a 1922
production, by 164 firms, of 88,368,131 pounds. Total sales in 1923
amounted to 115,297,586 pounds, with a value of $65,898,177. Pro-
duction during 1923 represented a 39 per cent increase in quantity
compared with that of 1922.
SUMMARY OF DYE PRODUCTION IN 1923
Large increase in output. — The output of dyes by 88 firms was
93,667,524 pounds, compared with 64,632,187 pounds in 1922.
Sales for the year 1923 totaled 86,567,446 pounds, with a value of
$47,223,161. In this connection it is of interest to compare the size
of the industry in 1923 with that existing prior to the war, the out-
put in 1914, by 7 firms, being 6,619,729 pounds, with a value of
$2,470,096. This production was almost entirely from imported
intermediates, chiefly from Germany.
Among the more important factors responsible for the large output
of dyes in 1923 may be included (1) the activity of the domestic
textile and dye-consuming industries, (2) the occupation of the
Ruhr, which caused a reduction in the output of the German dye
factories and consequently enabled the domestic producers to in-
crease their exports to Far East markets, (3) the relatively high
foreign price levels of dyes compared with those of the pre-war
period, and (4) the effect of the tariff act of 1922, giving special
protection to coal-tar products.
In contrast with other ad valorem rates in that act, the rates under
paragraphs 27 and 28, on imported coal-tar products competitive-
with the same or similar domestic products, are assessed on the-
American selling price of the domestic articles. As against this f
products noncompetitive with domestic products are assessed on the
"United States value," being the selling price of the imported dyes
in the domestic markets. In determining the dutiable value, cer-
PRODUCTION OF DYES AND COAL-TAR CHEMICALS, 1923 33'
tain statutory deductions are made from the selling price to cover
transportation, duty, importer's expenses, and profits.
Another new feature was the basing of the specific duty on dyes
upon standards of strength in ordinary commercial use.
Further price reduction in dyes. — -The average selling price of dyes
during 1923 was $0,545 per pound, compared with $0.60 in 1922 and
$1.26 in 1917. The 1923 selling price is a 10 per cent decline from
that of 1922.
The average selling price of Indigo, which led in quantity of pro-
duction, was $0.23 for 1923 as against $0.24 for 1922. The average
price of Sulphur black for 1923 was $0.20 compared with $0.21 for
1922. This dye was second in quantity of production. The third
dye — Direct deep black EW — showed little change; the averager
price for 1923 was $0,428 compared with $0.42 in 1922. In the case
of Agalma black 10B, the average price receded from $0.79 in 1922
to $0.71 in 1923. Reductions were also recorded in the average
prices of many of the so-called special colors, which do not comprise
a large proportion of the total output, as is shown in the following
table.
Table 9 presents a comparison of the domestic sales prices of 100
dyes for the years 1917-1923, together with the invoice prices of the
same dyes imported during the year 1914. The colors for which
statistics are given in this table represent about 90 per cent of the
domestic production. It should be noted that the domestic sales
price is not directly comparable with the invoice prices in 1914,
Invoice prices do not represent the cost to the consumer, as they do
not include the importer's profit, or, in most cases, " charges for con-
tainers and packing, freight, and insurance to seaport, consular
certification, minor shipping charges at point of departure and at
seaport."
The Schultz number as indicated in column 1 is that of "Farb-
stoff-Tabellen " (Dyestuff Tables), by Gustav Schultz, 1914 edition.
Column 2 gives the common name of the dye as adopted by the
Tariff Commission for designating all dyes reported under a given
Schultz number (column 1). The invoice price (1914), shown in
column 3, represents the weighted average of all dyes classified
under a given Schultz number in "Artificial Dyestuffs Used in the
United States," Department of Commerce, Special Agents Series
No. 121. This weighted average price for all types is usually higher
than the invoice price per pound for dyes representing the bulk of
the importation under a given Schultz number. The individual dyes
imported under given Schultz numbers in the Norton Census show
a wide variation in price, frequently amounting to several hundred
per cent. This is due chiefly to the great divergence in concentration
of the different dyes and also to the variation in prices of special
and pure brands, which are more costly than the ordinary brands,
Column 4 gives the domestic sales price as reported to the Tariff
Commission, representing the weighted average price of all manu-
facturers for the dyes reported under a given Schultz number.
Most of these prices were published in the " Census of Dyes and
Coal-Tar Chemicals, for the years 1917-1922."

Relation of production to consumption. — Imports of synthetic dyes
in 1923 were 3,098,193 pounds, 1 valued at $3,151,363. Production
in that year amounted to 93,667,524 pounds, valued at $51,517,138.
Imports were accordingly 3.3 per cent of the total output by quan-
tity and 6.2 per cent by value. As the cost of the imported dyes to
the consumer is greater than the invoice value, the true ratio of sales
value of imports to the value of production is greater than the esti-
mate of 6.2 per cent given.
The domestic exports of "color lakes and other colors, dyes, and
stains" derived from coal tar for 1923 were 17,924,200 pounds, val-
ued at $5,565,267. The domestic consumption of dyes is assumed
to equal domestic production plus imports minus exports, or 78,-
841,517 pounds per year. This does not, however, take into con-
sideration any stocks carried over. Imports constituted by quantity
3.9 per cent of the apparent consumption, and dyes produced in this
coimtry supplied the remaining 96.1 per cent. In 1914 imports were
about nine-tenths of the domestic consumption.
Effect of the Ruhr occupation on domestic exports. — The general
effect of the occupation of the Ruhr by the French, together with
the export restrictions, the conflict between the French and German
authorities, difficulties of transportation, and other conditions, resulted
i This total poundage is in excess of the quantity actually imported, most of the vat dyes having been
reduced to a single-strength basis in order to facilitate comparison of imports and production of vat dyes
on a uniform-strength basis.

PRODUCTION OF DYES AND COAL-TAR CHEMICALS, 1923 37
in a large decrease in the total production of dyes in Germany,
which amounted in 1923 to 25 per cent less than for the previous year.
The occupation of the Ruhr had little effect on the supply of dyes for
the domestic textile and other industries, as over nine-tenths of the
domestic consumption is manufactured in this country.
The reduced production in Germany materially curtailed exports
from that country, and important consuming countries in Far East
markets, such as China, looked to the United States to supply a part
of their requirements. As a result exports from the United States
during 1923 were about double in quantity those of 1922 and they
increased in value from S3, 996,443 to $5,565,267. During the latter
part of 1923 the output of dyes by Germany steadily increased, and
the economic effect of the occupation of the Ruhr was being grad-
ually overcome. Early in 1924 German dyes were again offering
sharp competition to both domestic and British dyes in the markets
of the Far East.
Continued production of new dyes. — An examination of the dyes for
which production was recorded in 1923 shows the addition of nearly
100 new dyes to the United States manufacturing program. These
were not restricted to any one class either by chemical derivation
or by application on the fiber; they include dyes for silks, cotton,
wool, color lakes, and for other purposes. The additions are almost
entirely dyes of the special types consumed in relatively small quan-
tities and are mostly colors of great complexity and difficult to manu-
facture, representing a creditable advance in the industry. The
industry is still deficient to some extent in the production of certain
vat dyes and certain other products, as shown by the analysis of
imports, Table 15.
Reduction in duty. — Under the provisions of the tariff act of 1922
the ad valorem rates on the coal-tar products covered by paragraphs
27 and 28 will be reduced 15 per cent on September 22, 1924. The
ad valorem rate on dyes and other finished products, paragraph 28,
will be reduced from 60 per cent to 45 per cent, and that on inter-
mediates, paragraph 27, from 55 per cent to 40 per cent. The spe-
cific duty will remain at 7 cents per pound.
In considering the effect of this reduction it should be borne in
mind that the specific duty is more effective on the lower-priced
dyes, while the ad valorem rate is more effective on the higher-priced
products; the reduction in the ad valorem rate will therefore more
directly affect the higher-priced dyes. The reduction will probably
not greatly affect the larger tonnage of color produced in the United
States, nor is it probable that it will seriously restrict the develop-
ment of the dye industry, as the 15 per cent reduction is a minor
factor when compared with the protection afforded by other provi-
sions of the act.
The following table shows the actual and the equivalent ad valorem
duty on seven groups of dyes ranging from $0.25 to $3 per pound
under the tariff act of 1922, both for competitive and noncompeti-
tive products. The duties resulting from the 60 per cent ad valorem
rate (September 22, 1922, to September 22, 1924) and the 45 per
cent ad valorem rate (beginning September 22, 1924) are separately
tabulated.

PRODUCTION OF DYES AND COAL-TAR CHEMICALS, 1923
39
PRODUCTION OF DYES BY CLASSES
The dyes produced in the United States in 1923 are classified
according to method of application as follows: (1) Acid dyes, (2)
basic dyes, (3) direct dyes, (4) lake and spirit-soluble dyes, (5) mor-
dant or chrome dyes, (6) sulphur dyes, (7) vat dyes, subdivided into
indigo and other vats, and (8) unclassified dyes. While in certain
cases the classification of a color is arbitrary, because a dye may have
properties which permit of its application by more than one method,
it is believed that the above classifications facilitate the comparison
of production and import figures.
The production of dyes in the United States from 1917 to 1923,
inclusive, as compared with imports during the fiscal year 1914 and
the calendar years 1920 to 1923, inclusive, are arranged according to
the classes given in Table 10.

Acid Dyes
Description. — The acid dyes are commonly applied in an acid bath;
they have acid properties and are usually sodium salts of a color acid.
They constitute the most important group used in wool dyeing, being
especially adapted to the dyeing of hosiery and carpet yarns, suitings,
.dress goods, and hat materials; they have, in addition, considerable

application on silk. They are little used on cotton or linen because
of their lack of affinity for vegetable fibers, but are of value in the
dyeing of jute. In general they are used on goods not requiring
repeated washings.
Acid dyes yield clear, bright shades. They are superior to the
direct and mordant dyes in purity of shade, but are not equal to
basic dyes in this respect. They have a wide color range, and in
fastness they show great individual variation; as a rule they are
fairly fast to light and acids, and have a tendency to bleed in washing.
They yield faster shades on wool than on silk. Some of the more
complex acid dyes produce shades of good general fastness. A con-
siderable part of this group is of the lowest-priced dyes produced.
Their method of application in an acid bath is simple and of low
labor cost.
The line of demarcation between acid dyes and certain colors of the
direct and mordant groups is arbitrary. Certain acid dyes when
r af tertreated " with sodium or potassium dichromate yield shades of
good fastness to milling, light, washing, and other agents. These
dyes, known as acid chrome colors, are used chiefly on wool, especially
on loose wool yarns and piece goods, such as men's suitings. Most
of the acid dyes are chemically included in one of the following
groups: (1) Nitro compounds, (2) azo compounds, (3) sulphonated
basic dyes (mostly triphenylmethane derivatives).
Production and imports. — Acid dyes ranked fourth in 1923 in order
of quantity produced, with a total of 12,498,817 pounds, or 13.34 per
cent of all dyes manufactured. Imports of this group amounted to
544,048 pounds, or 17.56 per cent of the total imoprts and 0.6 per cent
of the total production. In the pre-war year 1914 they amounted to
9,286,501 pounds, or one-fifth of the total imports of that year.
Agalma black 10B was first in quantity of production of the acid
dyes, with a total of 2,568,458 pounds. This dye ranked fourth of all
dyes manufactured during that year. Sales amounted to 2,377,290
pounds, with a value of $1,694,148. Orange II ranked second in
this group in quantity of production, with a total of 1,617,668
pounds, followed by Nigrosine (Water soluble), with a total of 1,389,-
106 pounds, by Tartrazine with a total of 735,608 pounds, and by
Azo rubine with an output of 526,596 pounds. Among the new acid
dyes reported during 1923 are Naphthalene green V, Eosine BN,
and Azo acid violet. Notable increases were reported in the output
of Sulphon acid blue R, Eriocyanine, and Fast light yellow.
The eight leading acid dyes imported in 1923 were Patent blue,
66,279 pounds; Alizarin rubinol 3G, 5G, GW, R, 48,826 pounds;
Xylene light yellow, 46,886 pounds; Erioglaucine, 38,254 pounds;
Palatine black, 33,500 pounds; Cyanol, 19,979 pounds; Eriocyanine
19,202 pounds; and Fast green, 17,190 pounds.
Basic Dyes
Description. — The basic dyes surpass all others in depth, brilliancy
of shade, and purity of tone. They possess high tinctorial power, but
as a class lack fastness, especially to fight and washing.
Basic colors are used on cotton in dyeing and printing where
bright shades or color tints are desired without special requirements
44 UNITED STATES TARIFF COMMISSION
for fastness. They are also employed in the dyeing of paper and
jute and for lithographic inks, typewriter ribbons, copy paper, and
pencils. With the exception of Rhodamine B and a few others they
have little application on wool. Dyes of this class are chemically
basic in character and are fixed on vegetable fibers with an acid
mordant, namely, tannic acid.
They are historically the oldest of the coal-tar dyes. Mauve
or Perkin violet, discovered by W. H. Perkin in 1856, was the first
aniline dyestuff produced on a commercial scale. Basic dyes are not
as important as formerly; for cotton dyeing they have been super-
seded by direct and sulphur dyes, which possess advantages in econ-
omy of application and in many cases excel in fastness. In wool
dyeing the acid dyes have almost entirely displaced the basic colors.
Chemically the basic dyes include a large number of the triphenyl-
methane derivatives and, in addition, members of the following
classes: (1) Azines, (2) azos, (3) thioazines, (4) thioazols, and (5)
acridines.
Production and imports. — Basic dyes in 1923 ranked fifth in quan-
tity of production, with an output of 4,157,373 pounds, or 4.44 per
cent of the total. Imports in that year amounted to 210,896 pounds,
or one-fourth of 1 per cent of production. The production of this
group of dyes is well developed in this country. Bismarck brown
2R leads this group, with an output of 672,544 pounds, followed by
Methyl violet, with an output of 578,183 pounds, and Chrysoidine
Y, with an output of 545,836 pounds. The output of Auramine,
471,359 pounds, showed a conspicuous increase over that of 1922,
when the production was only 344,827 pounds. Large increases in
the production of Phosphine and Rhodamine B constitute the out-
standing development in the production of this group of dyes during-
1923.
The five leading basic dyes (by quantity) imported in 1923 were
Phosphine, 42,176 pounds; Rhodamine 6G, 31,242 pounds; Rhoda-
mine B, 29,083 pounds; Thioflavine T, 20,283 pounds; and Euchry-
sine, 9,483 pounds.
Direct Cotton Dyes
Description. — The direct or substantive dyes have been introduced
within the past 25 years. Their method of application is simple, as
they dye vegetable fibers full shades in a neutral or alkaline bath,
"directly," without the use of mordants. Although their principal
application is on cotton, they are of special value in dyeing fabrics
containing both cotton and wool, or silk and cotton (union goods).
They are also used on linen, silk, and paper and to an increasing
extent on wool, especially for knitting yarns, worsted and shoddy
yarns, and loose wool.
In fastness, individual dyes of this group show a wide variation.
On account of their high solubility they have a tendency to run
when washed. Many direct dyes, particularly those first introduced,
are sensitive to acids and fade on exposure to sunlight; others, espe-
cially the newer direct dyes, have good fastness to both acids and light
as well as to other agents. Certain direct colors are of good fastness,
particularly to washing, after a treatment of the dyed fiber by u coup-
lino:" with certain intermediates. An aftertreatment with metallic
PRODUCTION OF DYES AND COAL-TAR CHEMICALS, 1923 45
salts or formaldelryde also improves the fastness of certain direct
dyes. These " developed" direct dyes were not available in the early
part of the war; the ordinary direct dyes then used for hosiery were
unsatisfactory to consumers. Developed blacks, such as Zambesi
black V, are now manufactured in this country for hosiery.
With a few exceptions the direct dyes are chemically "azo" com-
pounds and are nearly all derivatives of benzidine, tolidine, diamino
stilbene, or a group closely approximating one of these. A small but
valuable group of direct colors belongs in the thiazol class.
Production and imports. — The direct cotton dyes, with a production
of 16,858,387 pounds, ranked third in quantity of production, com-
prising 18 per cent of all dyes produced. Imports of this group in
1923 were 527,014 pounds, which may be contrasted with 10,264,757
pounds in 1914. The first direct cotton dye by quantity of produc-
tion was Direct black EW, with an output of 6,957,581 pounds. This
ranked third, or 7.4 per cent, of all dyes produced in that year.
Sales of this color in 1923 were 6,720,905 pounds, with a value of
$2,875,928.
Benzo blue 2B ranked second in this group, with an output of
1,065,539 pounds, followed by Benzamine brown 3GO, with a pro-
duction of 999,554 pounds, and Oxamine black BHN, with a total of
905,491 pounds. Congo red ranked fifth, with a production of
590,548 pounds.
One of the more important developments in the production of this
group of dyes consists in the continued addition to the range of
" developed" direct dyes capable of producing shades of good fast-
ness on cotton and silk. Production of Zambesi blacks recorded a
notable increase, and among the new direct colors are Erica B, Terra
cotta F, Neutral gray B, Diaminogene B, Congo rubine, Benzo fast
red, Chicago blue 2R, Diazo indigo blue M, and Direct black V.
The eight leading direct dyes, by quantity, imported in 1923, were
Diaminogene blue, 88,778 pounds; Diaminogene B, 32,903 pounds;
Trisulphon brown B, 26,980 pounds; Diphenyl red, 21,160 pounds;
Diamine fast orange EG, ER, R, 17,793 pounds; Diphenyl brown BN,
17,534 pounds; Benzo fast blue, 17,036 pounds; and Trisulphon
brown GG, 16,150 pounds.
Mordant and Chrome Dyes
Description. — These colors, in conjunction with metallic mordants,
such as salts of chromium, aluminum, iron, and tin, dye both vege-
table and animal fibers. The resulting shades are, in general, of
exceptional fastness to color-destroying agents. The mordant dyes
yield on wool the fastest shades to light, washing, and other agents.
They are also important in textile printing, particularly on cotton
piece goods, but are little used on silk.
The mordant dyes are frequently designated as chrome colors. As
many of these colors are derived from alizarin, they were formerly
called alizarin dyes. Certain dyes may be acid, acid chrome, or
chrome, according to the method of application. The true alizarins
are generally used with a mordant; some of the new alizarins, known
as acid alizarins, can be used either with or without. In the applica-
tion of chrome dyes on wool, the mordant may be applied before,
during, or after tne dyeing operation. The labor cost of dyeing with
mordant and chrome dyes is higher than for other groups.
46 UNITED STATES TARIFF COMMISSION
The most important dye of this class, alizarin, is used in the produc-
tion of the well-known Turkey red on cotton. This is one of the
shades produced in ancient times from madder root. Alizarin has
been prepared synthetically from anthracene for about 50 years.
Chemically, the mordant dyes are members of the following
classes: (1) Anthracene, (2) azo, (3) oxazine, (4) triphenylmethane,
(5) nitroso, (6) oxyquinone, and (7) xanthone.
Production and imports. — The output of mordant and chrome dyes
was 4,078,504 pounds, or 4.35 per cent of all dyes manufactured in
1923. Imports of this class in that year were 453,415 pounds, or one-
half of 1 per cent of production and 14.6 per cent of the total import.
Imports in the pre-war year 1914 amounted to 4,450,442 pounds.
Salicine black II ranked first in quantity among the mordant and
chrome dyes, with a production by 14 firms of 1,242,283 pounds and
sales of 1,290,536 pounds, valued at $686,266. Other leading dyes of
this group include Alizarin yellow G, with an output of 395,361
pounds; Alizarin saphirol B, 309,124 pounds; and Metachrome
brown B, 308,559 pounds.
The rapid increase in the production of Eriochrome black T and A
during the last two years is reflected in a decrease in the imports of
these two dyes. Notable increases were recorded in the output of
Alizarin brown, Alizarin GI, Palatine chrome red B, and Alizarin.
Among the new mordant and chrome dyes produced in 1923, not
reported in 1922, are Anthracene blue, Acid alizarin black R, and
several unidentified chrome browns.
The five leading mordant and chrome dyes, by quantity, imported
in 1923 were Alizarin blue black, 70,917 pounds; Gallamine blue,
29,244 pounds; Alizarin, 27,716 pounds; Alizarin saphirol B, 26,615
pounds; and Alizarin red, 25,017 pounds.
Sulphur Dyes
Description. — This group of dyes produces heavy deep shades of
blue, green, brown, and black. They are used almost entirely in
cotton dyeing, being especially adapted to uniform cloths, hosiery,
gingham yarns, and cotton warps to be woven with wool and later
dyed with acid dyes. Their greatly extended use during the war
served to increase permanently their application in cotton dyeing.
Sulphur colors are also used in the dyeing of linen and artificial silk.
The sulphur dyes possess excellent fastness to washing, fulling,
alkalies, and acids in cross dyeing. With some exceptions, their fast-
ness to light is good. As they are not fast to chlorine, they do not
withstand the repeated bleaching action of hypochlorites in the mod-
ern laundry treatment. They are applied in a sodium sulphide
solution with, in certain cases, aftertreatment with metallic salts to
improve their fastness. The first dye discovered in this group,
" Cachou de Laval," was made in 1867 by the fusion of sawdust
with sodium sulphide and sulphur. Sulphur dyes are now prepared
by the fusion of various intermediates (containing the nitro, amino,
or imino groups) with sodium sulphide and sulphur. These dyes are
not pure, distinct compounds, and the presence of other substances
renders them of comparatively low color value. Recent develop-
ments, however, have greatly increased the tinctorial value and shade
range of many of them.
PRODUCTION OF DYES AND COAL-TAR CHEMICALS, 1923 47
Production and imports.— This group of dyes ranked second in
quantity of production, with a total of 21,558,469 pounds, equivalent
to 23.02 per cent of all dyes produced in 1923. The domestic pro-
duction of sulphur dyes has been well developed both in quantity
and variety for several years. This is indicated by the relatively
small quantity of sulphur colors imported, constituting in 1923 only
one-tenth of 1 per cent of the total production. Sulphur black
ranked second among all dyes manufactured in 1923, with an output
of 16,276,409 pounds, or 17.4 per cent of the total. Sales during
1923 were 15,212,142 pounds, valued at $3,017,207. The production
of sulphur browns totaled 2,203,893 pounds; of sulphur blues,
1,349,864 pounds; of sulphur yellow, 670,023 pounds; and of sulphur
maroon, 373,899 pounds.
The five leading sulphur dyes imported in 1923 were:
Pounds
Thionol brown 28, 802
Cross dyegreenB 26, 242
Eclipse brown 10, 000
Thional brown G 9, 228
Pyrogene blue 8, 929
Vat Dyes
Description. — Because of their exceptional fastness, variety, and
beauty of shade, vat dyes are of special importance for cotton goods
where laundry-fast dyes are desired. They are used on both dyed
and printed shirtings, on blouse material, dress goods, ginghams,
muslin curtains, and other cotton wash goods, and have a limited
application on silk and wool. Because of their high cost, they have
a comparatively limited use in solid or heavy shades, but they are
used for color stripes or for small printed patterns on a white back-
ground. They possess technical advantages in application over the
alizarin mordant dyes.
Vat dyes as a class possess exceptional fastness to light , washing,
acids, alkalies, and to chlorine. Some of them are not fast to
all of these agents. With a gradual increase in demand by the
ultimate consumer of textiles for fast-dyed fabrics, the consumption
of vat dyes is increasing. As cotton goods dyed with these colors
withstand the severe treatment of the modern laundry, the relatively
high cost of dye per yard is a minor factor compared with the increased
life of a fabric dyed with fast colors.
With the exception of indigo, one of the oldest dyes known, vat
dyes are of recent origin. They are among the most complex of
dyes, difficult to manufacture, and relatively high in cost. Chemi-
cally divided, they consist of indigoids (including thioindigoids) ,
anthraquinone derivatives, and the carbazole derivatives.
Production and imports. — -The production of vat dyes, including
indigo, again led by quantity, in 1923 totaling 30,1 13,642 pounds
(32.15 per cent of the total output), compared with 16,926,744 pounds
for the previous year.
The indigo Output of 28,347,259 pounds was greater than that of
any other single dye, comprising 30.26 per cent of the total domestic
output. This represents a very large increase over the 1922 output
of 15,850,752 pounds. This increase may be accounted for in large
part by the exports of this dye' to China, as a result of the reduced
exports of Germany following the occupation of the Ruhr district.
48 UNITED STATES TABIFF COMMISSION
The output of vat dyes (other than indigo) in 1923 was 1,766,383
pounds — the largest in the history of the domestic industry and an
increase of 690,391 pounds over that of 1922.
Among the vat dyes other than indigo, Indanthrene yellow led in
quantity of production, with an increase in output of 170 per cent
over that of 1922. Indanthrene blue GCD, second in quantity of
output, showed an increase over the 1922 production. Among the
new vat dyes reported as produced during 1923 are, Indanthrene
violet B, Indanthrene blue 3G, Hydron pink FF, and Indanthrene
golden orange R.
In 1914 imports of vat dyes other than indigo were 1,945,304
pounds, and none of these dyes were produced in this country in that
year; in 1920, a year of great business activity, domestic production
plus imports was 1,921,231 pounds. In 1921, a year of business
reaction, the corresponding total was 1,390,522 pounds, and for 1922,
2,624,511 pounds, increasing to a maximum of 2,973,937 pounds in 1923.
The nine leading vat dyes, by quantity, imported in 1923 were:
Pounds
Indanthrene yellow (single strength) 87, 946
Indanthrene golden orange R (single strength) 79, 717
Indanthrene blue GCD (single strength) 70, 546
Indanthrene golden orange G (single strength) 67, 265
Ciba violet B (single strength) 64, 517
Hydron pink FB, FF (single strength) 55, 428
Algol brown B (single strength) 55, 081
Helindone pink B, R, RN (single strength) 47, 771
Indanthrene green B (single strength) - 40, 420
Color-lake and Spirit-soluble dyes
These dyes constitute one of the smaller groups. The color lake
dyes are used in the preparation of a class of pigments known as
color lakes, discussed in detail under that heading.
The spirit-soluble dyes are insoluble in water, but dissolve in
either oils, fats, or various organic solvents; they consequently find
application for coloring varnishes (both spirit and oil), fats, oils,
waxes, and similar products. As many of the spirit-soluble dyes are
converted by chemical treatment, such as sulphonation, into water-
soluble dyes for use in textile dyeing, they may be considered as
partly completed dyes.
The output of lake and spirit-soluble dyes in 1923 was 1,171,854
pounds, or 1.25 per cent of the total dye production. Of these, 57
per cent were lake dyes and 43 per cent spirit-soluble dyes. In
1922 the output was 1,009,512 pounds. Imports of this group in
1923 amounted to 23,213 pounds, or 0.75 per cent of the total im-
ports of coal-tar dyes.
Food Dyes
Dyes classified under this group include a limited number of
selected dyes which meet the specifications of the Bureau of Chem-
istry, Department of Agriculture. There are also included the
figures for a highly refined grade of methyl violet, used for marking
meats and certain other food products. The total production of
food dyes in 1923 was 230,343 pounds, with sales of 228,686 pounds,
valued at $860,077. Production in 1922 was 186,600 pounds, and
in 1921, the first year in which they were separately compiled, 50,709
pounds. The average value of the sales was $3.76 per pound in
1923, $3.82 in 1922, and $5.80 in 1921.
PRODUCTION OF DYES AND COAL-TAR CHEMICALS, 1923 49
DYES EXPORTED FROM THE UNITED STATES
Large increase in 1923. — The total exports of "color lakes" and
" other colors, dyes, and stains" in 1923 amounted to 17,924,200
pounds, valued at $5,565,267. This is slightly more than double
the quantity exported in 1922 and a 40 per cent increase by value.
Prior to 1922 the Department of Commerce reported only the
value of exports of domestic dyes and dyestuffs, using the following
groups: (1) Aniline dyes, (2) logwood extracts, (3) all other dyes and
dyestuffs. The third classification covers both coal-tar dyes and
natural dyes, other than logwood extract. Since logwood extract is
by far the most important natural dye exported from the United
States it is reasonable to assume that a large part of the figures re-
turned for all other dyes and dyestuffs covers coal-tar dyes. The
most important natural dye included in Group 3 is derived from
the bark of the black oak {Q,uercus velutina) in two forms, viz.,
quercitron and flavine. These were exported in considerable
amounts during the war and in smaller amounts previously. In
1922 the Department of Commerce adopted a new classification,
grouping coal-tar dyes under (1) color lakes and (2) other colors,
dyes, and stains. For the first time the quantity as well as the
value of the exports was published. Table 11 shows by months the
total exports of dyes from the United States from 1919 to April,
1924, inclusive.
The countries to which dyes are exported are shown in detail in
Part VI, Appendix.
The combined value of exports of " aniline dyes" and "all other
dyes" was $15,728,499 in 1919, compared with $29,823,591 for 1920,
the highest in the history of the industry. This was during a year
of world-wide business activity, prior to the reappearance of German
dyes in international trade.
Exports of "color lakes" in 1922 were 28,228 pounds, with a value
of $19,928, and the total exports of "other colors, dyes, and stains"
were 8,315,959 pounds, with a value of $3,976,515, making a total of
8,344,187 pounds and a value of $3,996,443. The total export of
"coal-tar colors, dyes, and stains" for 1923, as reported in the
Monthly Summary of Foreign Commerce, was 17,924,200 pounds,
with a value of $5,565,267. No exports of color lakes were reported
in that year. In January, 1924, exports of "other colors, dyes, and
stains" were 1,432,721 pounds, valued at $494,666, and for the
month of February 1,739,400 pounds, valued at $571,776. The large
increase in exports of dyes in 1923, compared with 1922, was largely
due to the effect of the occupation of the Ruhr by the French in 1923,
as a result of which German production was greatly reduced and
the export trade of that country in dyes and chemicals was severely
affected. The monthly production of the German dye plants in-
creased rapidly in the later months of 1923 and in the early
months of 1924, indicating that interference with Germany's dye pro-
duction had practically disappeared. In fact, there have been, in
1924, unceasing efforts by German manufacturers in the Far East
and other large dye markets to recapture those lost markets by
the initiation of a price-cutting campaign.

1 Commerce and Navigation reports under domestic exports of "dyes and dyestuffs" — "aniline
■dyes," "logwood extract," and "all other dyes and dyestuffs." Under this last-named designation may
be included both natural and coal-tar dyes. However, since logwood extract — shown separately— is the
most important natural dye exported from the United States, it may be assumed that a considerable
portion of the exports under "all other dyes and dyestuffs" are coal-tar dyes.

1 The domestic exports of dyes, as shown by the Commerce Department, are divided into 3 groups —
(1) aniline dyes, (2) logwood extract, and (3) all other dyestufls.
The third classification may include both natural dyes (other than logwood extracts, shown separately)
as well as coal-tar dyes. Since logwood extract, however, is the most important natural dye exported from
the United States, it is reasonable to assume that a considerable portion of "all other dyes and dyestuffs"
represents coal-tar dyes.
In 1922, however, the Commerce Department adopted a new classification. Coal-tar dyes were grouped
under coal-tar finished products and were divided into (1) color lakes and (2) other colors, dyes and
stains.

color lakes
Description.— A color lake is an insoluble color pigment consisting
of a precipitating agent, the coloring matter (a coal-tar dye), and a
carrier (the base). The desired properties of a color lake are good
coloring power, easy workability, brightness, and fastness to weather,
light, alkali, and acids. The precipitating agents used for coal-tar
colors include barium chloride, lead salts, aluminium hydroxide, and
tannin or tannin tartar-emetic. Among the more important car-
riers are aluminium hydroxide, zinc white, lithopone, barytes, whit-
ing, China clay and certain native clays, and ocher. The principal
requirements of a carrier are (1) ready reduction to a finely divided
state and (2) absence of any deleterious effect on the shade of the
finished lake. The coloring matter includes those coal-tar dyes
known as acid dyes, basic dyes, and mordant dyes, as well as certain
azo dyes produced directly on the carrier. An example of the latter
is the preparation of Para red from the intermediates p-nitroaniline
and b-naphthol. Another group of color lakes is made by the pre-
cipitation of a water-soluble acid dye, with the aid of the mineral
salt to form an insoluble product.
After precipitation the soluble lake is filtered, dried, and ground
with or without oil; it is then ready for use as a pigment in paints,
lithographic inks, artists' colors, wall paper, rubber products, and
for similar coloring purposes.
Production. — The total production of color lakes in 1923 amounted
to 13,079,115 pounds, and sales to 12,627,359 pounds valued at
$5,124,732, with an average value per pound of 40.6 cents. This is
an increase over 1922, when the output was 10,578,664 pounds.
Sales in that year amounted to 10,366,676 pounds, valued at $4,551,-
572, or an average value per pound of 44 cents.
PHOTOGRAPHIC CHEMICALS
Owing to their strong reducing properties, coal-tar chemicals of
this class are used for developing photographic films, plates, and
prints. They are popularly known as "developers," and are sold
under various trade names.
The total output of photographic chemicals in 1923 was 343,289
pounds, a slight decrease from the 1922 figure of 345,798 pounds.
Sales for 1923 were 321,083 pounds, valued at $443,697, with an
average value per pound of $1.38. The quantity of each photo-
graphic chemical made in 1923 can not be published without dis-
closing the output of individual manufacturers. The developer pro-
duced in largest quantity was hydroquinol, followed by p-hydroxy-
phenylglycine. The 1923 production of the latter shows a large in-
crease, while that of rnetol (methyl-p-aminophenol sulphate) shows a
decrease.
MEDICINALS
Description. — From the standpoint of national welfare this class of
coal-tar derivatives is of high importance. Chemically, it includes a
variety of products used for a diversity of purposes. The develop-
PRODUCTION" OP DYES AND COAL-TAR CHEMICALS, 1923 53
ment of medicinals constitutes one of the most creditable accom-
plishments of the coal-tar industry, as the highest technical skill is
required in their manufacture.
Production. — The total production of medicinals in 1923 was
3,273,085 pounds; sales were 2,995,448 pounds, valued at $4,720,253,
an average price of SI. 58 per pound. Production in 1922 was
2,946,347 pounds, with sales of 3,092,915 pounds valued at $4,233,443.
Arsphenamine, known also as salvarsan and as u 606," the hydro-
chloride of 3-diamino-4-dihydroxy-l-arsenobenzene, used for com-
bating syphilis and other protozoan infections, is one of the most
important medicinals of this group. Its production by 7 manu-
facturers in 1923 was 616 pounds; sales were 576 pounds, valued at
$173,381, or $301.01 per pound, as compared with 917 pounds,
valued at $257,022— $280.28 per pound— in 1922. Neoarsphenamine
(3-diamino-4-dilwdroxy-l-arsenobenzene methanol sulphoxylate) had
a total production, by 6 manufacturers, of 3,365 pounds. Total
sales were 3,035 pounds, valued at $1,029,121, an average price of
$339.08 per pound.
Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) led all coal-tar medicioals in quantity
produced with an output, bv 4 firms, of 1,525,795 pounds, compared
with 1,482,998 pounds in 1922. Sales in 1923 were 1,337,998 pounds,
valued at $1,088,977. This shows an increase in the price per pound
from 74 cents in 1922 to 81.3 cents in 1923. Acetanilide, of which
564,498 pounds were produced by 4 firms, ranked second in quantity
manufactured; total sales were 520,390 pounds, valued at $156,111,
or 30 cents per pound. This shows a large increase in production
over 1922, when 222,517 pounds were recorded.
Sodium salicylate, of which 416,382 pounds were produced, ranked
third, with sales of 410,840 pounds, valued at $165,759. Phenol
sulphonates (calcium, sodium, zinc, etc.) , with a production of 208,902
pounds, ranked fifth. Other medicinals showing a relatively large
production were phenolphthalein, salol, acetphenetidin, chloramine
T, and cincophen.
Some of the medicinals reported in 1923 but not in 1922 are:
sulphoarsphenamine, with a production by 4 firms of 164 pounds;
peralga (l-diethylbarbituric-2-amidopyrene) and dihydroxy-dihy-
droxy-mercury benzophenone sodium sulphonate.
FLAVORS AND PERFUME MATERIALS
Description. — There is no sharp line of demarcation between these
two classes of coal-tar chemicals, many of them being used both as
flavors and perfumes; a separate classification is, therefore, in certain
cases arbitrary. They serve as perfume materials for soaps and
other toilet articles, and for other similar products, and as flavors for
food and food products.
Production.— The total production of flavors in 1923 was 1,458,024
pounds; sales amounted to 1,442,387 pounds, valued at $1,780,313.
In 1922, production amounted to 1,215,668 pounds.
Some of these products show a large increase in production,
notably saccharin, used as a sugar substitute, and methyl salicylate,
used largely as an artificial wintergreen flavor. The total 1923
production of methyl salicylate was 967,505 pounds.
The output of perfume materials in 1923 was 1,365,449 pounds,
this being a large increase over 1922, when 793,148 pounds were
54 UNITED STATES TARIFF COMMISSION
produced. Sales of these products in 1923 totaled 1,275,432 pounds,
valued at $789,431.
Diethylphthalate ranked first in quantity of production and value
of sales. The production in 1923 was 1,250,280 pounds; sales
were 1,170,939 pounds, valued at $592,039. Production in 1922 was
725,984 pounds. Diethylphthalate is used under a special formula
as an ethyl alcohol denaturant. The production of benzyl benzoate
for 1923 was 29,185 pounds, an increase over that of 1922. Two
other benzyl compounds showing increases in production for 1923
are benzyl alcohol and benzyl acetate, with a production of 12,080
and 21,937 pounds respectively.
Other products of this group made in quantity are amyl salicylate,
diphenyl oxide, benzylidene acetone, methyl anthranilate, and phenyl
acetic acid. The production of phenyl ethyl alcohol shows a large
increase over the 1922 figure, but the quantity produced is still far
below the domestic consumption. Production of phenylacetic
aldehyde and cinnamyl alcohol is also below the domestic demand;
artificial musks are not reported at all, although large quantities
are imported.
Among products reported in 1923 but not in 1922 were benzyl
propionate, para cresyl acetate, para cresyl phenyl acetate, dibenzyl
ketone, ethyl fumarate, and phenyl glycol acetate.
SYNTHETIC PHENOLIC RESINS
The manufacture of synthetic resins is distinctly an American
development and has resulted only from the most careful research
and engineering skill. These were first made by the condensation of
phenol with formaldehyde and ammonia and later with hexamethy-
lenetetramine, but in recent years para-cumarone, as well as cresol,
has been used as a base. Synthetic resins are used as a substitute
for amber in the manufacture of pipe stems, cigarette holders, and
similar articles. There is also a large consumption for electric in-
sulating materials and for varnishes and lacquers. The consumption
for radio equipment has shown a rapid increase. With a total produc-
tion for 1922 of 5,944,133 pounds, sales were 6,415,931 pounds, valued
at $4,315,196. Production for 1923 shows an increase, but figures
cannot be published without disclosing the operations of individual
concerns.
SYNTHETIC TANNING MATERIALS
The synthetic tanning materials known as "syntans" are of very
recent development, having come into commercial use in Germany
and England since 1912. They give considerable promise for use in
the tanning of leather in conjunction with natural tanning extracts.
Synthetic tans are made by condensation of certain coal-tar
derivatives, such as the sulphonated phenols, cresols, and naphthols,
with formaldehyde in the presence of an acid. They are commonly
used in conjunction with the natural tanning extracts. Their use is
reported to result in (1) an economy of the time required for tanning,
(2) a satisfactory leather of light color, and (3) a reduction in the
amount of natural extract required.
The total production in 1922 was 1,910,519 pounds, with sales
amounting to 1,981,588 pounds, valued at $103,598. Production
for 1923 shows an increase.
PRODUCTION OF DYES AND COAL-TAR CHEMICALS, 1923
55
The combined production of synthetic ph enolic resins and synthetic
tanning materials in 1923 was 9,763,685 pounds, with sales amounting
to 10,068,431 pounds and valued at $5,816,590.

PRODUCTION OF DYES AND COAL-TAR CHEMICALS, 1923
67
Employees and Rates of Pay
The number of employees receiving specified rates of pay on
December 18, 1923, or on the nearest representative date for which
this information could be obtained, as reported by 181 of the 206
firms manufacturing coal-tar products in 1923, is contained in
Table 13. The 25 firms not reporting either conducted a business
in which coal-tar products were not the primary articles of manu-
facture or they did not have separately organized departments deal-
ing therewith.
According to the Bureau of the Census, the number of firms en-
gaged in the manufacture of coal-tar colors and other products in
1914 was 7, with 528 employees, divided as follows: Salaried em-
ployees, 130; wage earners (average number) , 398. In 1923 there were
181 firms reporting 14,841 employees. This represents a decrease
of 1,418 from 1922, which in turn is an increase of 2,967 over 1921.
The chemists and technically trained men in 1923 constituted 12.7
per cent of all employees, as compared with 10.8 per cent in 1922.
Of the 1,882 men of this class in 1923, 28.27 per cent received $50 or
more but under $75 per week, 23.32 per cent received $75 per week
and over, 9.83 per cent received $45 or more but under $50 per week.
Of those without technical training, 21.99 per cent received $30 but
under $35 per week, 19.97 per cent received $25 but under $30,
16.39 per cent received $35 but under $40, 15.58 per cent received
$20 but under $25. In general, the wages of 1923 for chemists and
technically trained men showed a small decrease from those of 1922,
while for all men without technical training there was a large increase
during the same period. Table 13 compares specified rates of pay of
technically trained men with those of men not having such training.
Among the technically trained men there was an increase of 0.51
per cent in the pay of the group receiving $75 per week and over and
a small decrease in the groups receiving $35 to $40, $40 to $45, $45 to
$50, and $50 to $75. Of men without technical training there was
an average increase of about 25 per cent in the weekly wages of the
three classes receiving $25 to $30, $30 to $35, and $35 to $40 per week.
As previously stated, the dye and coal-tar chemical industry has
probably a larger proportion of technically trained men than will be
found in any other manufacturing industry in the United States.

Research Work
Of the 206 firms engaged in 1923 in the manufacture of dyes and
other coal-tar chemicals, 65 had separately organized research
laboratories for the solution of technical problems and for the devel-
opment or discovery of new products. The total cost of the research
work carried on in these laboratories, together with that done in
laboratories not separately organized for research, was $2,085,901.
This figure is about the same as the amount ($2,172,508), expended
in 1922 for this purpose. For the first time the Tariff Commission's
census of 1923 has obtained not only the total cost of the research
work carried on by the companies, but the net cost of that work
chargeable to coal-tar products alone, amounting in 1923 to $1,-
900,281. The cited figures are doubtless an understatement of the
real cost of experimental work, since they do not include, in all cases,
the cost of research forming a part of manufacturing operations and
not charged against research on the books of the companies.
The value of the finished coal-tar products produced in 1923 was
about $65,000,000, not including crudes or intermediates. The fore-
going figures give some indication of the large expenditure for re-
search work considered necessary if the industry is to be self-contained
and kept on a stable, efficient basis of operation. The coal-tar chem-
ical industry must not only keep in view, as in the past, the develop-
ment of products already known but must always be alert to the
discovery of new products if it is to maintain a competitive position
in the world's markets.

PART III
DYES IMPORTED FOR CONSUMPTION IN THE UNITED
STATES, 1923
Introductory
Since 1919 the United States Tariff Commission has compiled a
detailed census of dye imports similar to that published by the
Department of Commerce under the title "Artificial Dyestuffs used
in the United States (fiscal }^ear 1913 and 1914)," commonly known
as the ''Norton import census."
The commission first compiled such statistics for use in the admin •
istration of section 501, title 5, of the tariff act of September 8, 1916,
which made the continuance of specific duties on coal-tar products,
after September 8, 1921, dependent upon the production in the
United States of" as much as 60 per cent in value of the consumption of
these products. As the information was found to be of direct value
to manufacturers, consumers, and importers, as well as to the com-
mission itself, in considering the tariff aspects of the coal-tar chemical
industry, the annual census of imports has been continued.
Through cooperation with the Treasury Department the invoices
covering dye importations through the various ports of the United
States, with the exception of New York, have been sent to the com-
mission for tabulation. In the year 1923, the monthly import sta-
tistics for the port of New York were compiled and published under a
cooperative arrangement between the respective Chemical Divisions
of the Department of Commerce and the Tariff Commission. In
obtaining the final 1923 figures shown in this report, the monthly
data previously available for the port of New York were rechecked
and the statistics for the warehouse withdrawals completed for that
year. Data were also obtained for imports through ports other than
New York.
In tabulating the statistics the commission has followed in the main
the "Schultz Farbstoff Tabellqn," which are based upon the
chemical composition of the dye. Certain types were also identified
according to the "Colour Index" issued by the British Society of
Dyers and Colourists, the Norton census, and other sources of
information in the files of the Tariff Commission. Dyes identified
by Norton as "a, b, and c" classes under a given Schultz number
are listed under that number (without subdivision) except in a few
instances in which they had been incorrectly designated. Dyes
included under these ''a, b, and c" classes are not always chemically
identical with the original Schultz types. Such dyes as could not be
identified by Schultz numbers are classified by the ordinary method
of application, as follows; Acid, basic, direct, lake and spirit-soluble,
71
72 UNITED STATES TAEIFF COMMISSION
mordant and chrome, sulphur, and vat. 1 In many cases the classi-
fication of a dye by its method of application is arbitrary, as certain
colors may be applied by either of two methods. A few dyes could
not be classified either by the Schultz tables or by the method of
application, and are therefore listed under the heading " Unclassified
and unidentified dyes."
The rate of exchange used in converting foreign invoice values to
United States currency was either the rate given on the invoice or,
in comparatively few cases, the exchange value published by the
Treasury Department for the month in which consular certification
occurred.
Summary of Imports of Dyes in 1923
The total imports of coal-tar dyes during the year 1923 were
3,C98,193 pounds, valued at $3,151,363, as compared with 3,982,631
pounds, valued at $5,243,257, for 1922.
Of the total imports in 1923, 47 per cent came from Germany, 28
per cent from Switzerland, 12 per cent from Italy, 6 per cent from
France, 4 per cent from England, and 3 per cent from other countries.
Table 16 shows the quantity and the value (when publishable) of
individual dyes imported in 1923. Table 14 is a summary of dyes
imported from 1920 to 1923, inclusive, classified according to their
method of application. Table 15 gives the quantity of each of the
leading dyes imported in 1923, compared with corresponding imports
for the years 1922, 1921, and 1914.
Swiss dyes. — The coal-tar dyes imported into this country from
Europe fall largely into two groups, (1) dyes shipped directly from
foreign factories, chiefly German and Swiss products, and (2) repara-
tion dyes delivered by Germany in payment to the Allies and sub-
sequently resold and shipped to the United States and other countries.
In addition, there is a small percentage of dye imports originating
with jobbers in the different foreign countries. Swiss dyes constitute
28 per cent, or 867,494 pounds, of total imports during 1923.
The prominent position maintained in the United States by Swiss
dyes calls for a brief review of Switzerland's export trade. In 1913
the total quantity of Swiss dyes exported was 19,458,902 pounds,
valued at $5,549,752 ; in 1920, the year of maximum export, 23,739,794
pounds, valued at $35,411,115, were exported.
Prior to the war the value of Swiss exports of dyes was slightly
more than 10 per cent of the total value of Germany's dye exports.
The proportion of Swiss exports to Germany at that time is significant,
averaging approximately one-fifth of the total. Since the war,
however, exports of Swiss dyes to Germany have been small.
From a broad economic viewpoint the Swiss dye industry is not
self-contained or economically independent, on account of lack of
coal and coke and their products, as well as other raw materials.
Prior to the war many of its essential raw materials were imported
from Germany. Since the war the situation has been materially
changed, raw materials having become available from Great Britain,
France, the United States, Czechoslovakia, and, more recently, again
from Germany. Dye producers in Switzerland to-day enjoy an open
competitive market wherein to purchase their raw materials.
1 In nearly every case vat dyes have been reduced to a single strength.
DYES IMPORTED FOR CONSUMPTION IN UNITED STATES, 1&23 73
In 1922 domestic imports of dyes were larger than in 1923, totaling
for the former year 3,982,631 pounds, with an invoice value of
$5,243,257. Of these, Swiss dyes constitute 39 per cent by quantity
and 41 per cent by value. Most of the remainder were of German
manufacture. In 1923 Swiss dyes, amounting to about one-half of
the above quantity, represented 28 per cent of the total imports.
Notwithstanding this decrease, the Swiss dye manufacturers secured
a much greater share of the domestic import trade than would have
been anticipated from the size of the Swiss industry, as compared
with that of Germany. The recent increases reported in the sell-
ing prices of German dyes should favor increased exports of Swiss
dyes. The reduction in the ad valorem duty on September 22, 1924,
from 60 to 45 per cent will also tend to increase domestic imports of
the higher-cost special types, such as are manufactured by the Swiss
industry.
The prominence of Swiss dyes in the domestic market is not
entirely a recent development, as the United States received about
one-fifth of the total Swiss exports in 1914.
During the period of licensed control of dye imports under the
Trading With the Enemy Act and up to the passage of the Dye and
Chemical Control Act on May 27, 1921, licenses were refused for the
importation of competitive types of enemy origin, but were granted for
competitive types of nonenemy origin. This resulted in an extensive
use of Swiss dyes in many of the textile mills of this country. Buyers
consequently became well acquainted with Swiss products, and
their use continued to a considerable extent even after the German
dyes were placed on equal terms with respect to import facilities.
The Swiss have an excellent variety of dyes, consisting mainly of
those of relatively high cost and special type, for which the demand
is Comparatively small. Indigo, however, is an important bulk
color produced in Switzerland. An efficient manufacturing and
distributing organization and the advantage of long experience favor
the development of the Swiss industry.
An examination by class of application of the 66 leading dyes
imported into the United States in 1923 shows that 23 of them were
wholly or largely of Swiss manufacture. These include both com-
petitive and noncompetitive products, as regards American manu-
facturers. The leading Swiss dyes imported in 1923 are as follows:
Acid: Vat:
Xylene light yellow. Ciba violet B.
Erioglaucine. Ciba scarlet.
Eriocyanine. Ciba bordeaux B.

Dyes imported from Italy. — In addition to the imports of dyes
originating in plants of foreign manufacturers, a significant portion
of domestic imports was made up of German reparation dyes resold
by the countries receiving them and purchased by American importers.
In 1923, 12 per cent, by quantity, of total domestic imports of dyes
came from Italy, and examination of the individual imports shows
that they include the faster and special types, apparently of German
origin. They furthermore include many types, such as the anthra-
quinone vat dyes, which are not produced in Italy. It may be
assumed, therefore, that these dyes were delivered to Italy in payment
for reparation and later resold to consumers in the United States and
other countries. Official Italian statistics of imports for 1922 show
that 1,634,270 pounds of German reparation dyes were received in
that year and 2,156,760 pounds in the first nine months of 1923.
From the 50 per cent stocks of dyes 2 on hand in the German plants
as of August 15, 1919, (totaling 10,353,057 kilos, or 22,824,349
pounds), subject to the Reparation Commission's option, 5,200 tons
were withdrawn for immediate delivery. Of these Italy received 700
tons, the United States and Great Britain each 1,500 tons, France
1,000 tons, and Belgium 500 tons. The remainder of the stock was
distributed on the basis of the pre-war consumption, taking into
account new conditions and home production. In this way Italy
received 7 per cent of the Indanthrene blue GCD compared with the
United States 55 per cent, and 13 per cent of the other vat dyes, as
against 39 per cent for the United States. The total dye deliveries
from the stocks on hand to the allied and associated Governments
were 9,889,650 kilos (21,802,722 pounds).
During the period of United States participation the option for
the delivery of 25 per cent of the German daily production gave no
GCD blue to Italy and only 9 per cent of the other vat dyes, while
the United States received 60 per cent of GCD blue and 42 per cent
of other vats.
After the cessation of deliveries to the United States, the percent-
ages accorded to Italy, France, and Belgium showed a conspicuous
increase of GCD blue; Italy received 25 per cent, and of other vat
dyes Italy and France each received 20 per cent, Belgium 10 per cent,
and Great Britain 50 per cent.
According to the report of the Reparation Commission, Italy had
received up to December 31, 1923, 6,274,601 kilos (13,832,985
pounds) of all dyes out of a total delivery by Germany of 25,583,390
kilos (56,401,142 pounds). Italy ranked second to Great Britain, the
latter receiving 7,664,993 kilos (16.898,244 pounds) of all dyes.
These reparation figures are of interest in any consideration of the
possible imports of reparation dyes from Italy and France in 1924,
especially in view of the renewed deliveries of the I. G. to the different
allied countries.

CENSUS OF SYNTHETIC ORGANIC CHEMICALS

Part IV
CENSUS OF SYNTHETIC ORGANIC CHEMICALS OTHER THAN
THOSE OF COAL-TAR ORIGIN, 1923
Introductory
The United States Tariff Commission has compiled a census of
the production of synthetic organic chemicals for the year 1923.
A similar census, made for the first time in 1921, has been repeated
each year. The quantity of production and the amount and value
of the sales have been given in all cases where the figures could
be published without disclosing the operations of the individual
producer.
The products included in this census are synthetic organic com-
pounds derived from sources other than coal tar. Aliphatic com-
pounds derived from natural sources by isolation, distillation, ex-
traction, hydrolysis, or purification, as for example, alkaloids, con-
stituents of essential oils, sugars, and acids, such as stearic and
tartaric, are not included, nor are cyanides, cyanamides, or carbides
of metals or inorganic radicals. Statistics for products obtainable
from other sources have been excluded in most cases.
As the Bureau of the Census collects data for the more important
non-coal-tar organic compounds, the Tariff Commission has not
attempted to collect statistics on such, except in a few instances
where the importance of the industry or other conditions appeared
to warrant this departure.
The production in 1923 of synthetic organic chemicals other than
those derived from coal tar was 90,597,712 pounds, compared with
79,202,155 pounds in 1922. Sales in 1923 amounted to 67,727,067
pounds, valued at $13,S75,521. This total includes the production
of research chemicals, sales of which amounted to 437 pounds,
valued at $7,930, or $1.81 per pound.
Developments in the Industry
Previous to the World War the United States produced a few
synthetic organic chemicals other than those of coal-tar origin.
Among these were acetone, chloroform, ether, acetic acid, formal-
dehyde, acetaldehyde, amyl acetate, and vanillin. Although few in
number, the chemicals of this group required large scale production.
Shortly after the outbreak of the war the manufacturers of finished
perfumes, flavors, pharmaceuticals, and other products, who had been
dependent upon imports of fine chemicals from Germany, were con-
fronted with a serious situation. The American manufacturers who
then undertook to supply these products have since developed an
industry not only of considerable size but the source of most of the
synthetic organic chemicals consumed in the United States.
Synthetic aromatic chemicals. — The synthetic aromatic chemical
industry is a source of supply of raw materials for the flavor and
perfume industries. The past year (1923) was probably one of the
113
114 UNITED STATES TARIFF COMMISSION
most successful that American manufacturers of these products have
enjoyed. Progress has been made in overcoming the former prejudice
against synthetic aromatic chemicals, and the most important factor
in this result has been the successful and systematic development of
quality products. American manufacturers of these products have
not neglected that essential unit of their business, namely, the re-
search laboratory, and the industry has consequently been placed
upon a stable and scientific basis. Workers in the field of perfumes
and flavors know it to be one of the most extensive and difficult
branches of organic chemistry and, although much important work
has been accomplished, further developments may be expected.
Heliotropin, ionone, isoeugenol, rhodinol, terpineol and vanillin
show conspicuous increases in production. Several of the esters
used in perfumery, as well as nerol, an alcohol similar to geraniol,
were reported in 1923, but not in 1922. Among the products show-
ing a decrease in production are linalyl acetate and citronellol.
Esters. — Several of the esters show a large increase in production.
The production of amyl acetate in 1923 reached 3,207,022 pounds
and of ethyl acetate (85 per cent), 25,887,720 pounds, as compared
with 16,114,458 pounds in 1922. Ethyl chloride shows an increase in
production, and butyl acetate a decrease.
Chloroform and carbon tetrachloride. — The production of chloro-
form and carbon tetrachloride was greatly increased in 1923, the
output of chloroform in that year amounting to 1,585,250 pounds,
and that of carbon tetrachloride to 13,513,644 pounds.
Pharmaceuticals. — Manufacturers of synthetic medicinals have in-
creased production in chloral hydrate, glycerophosphoric acid and
salts, iodoform, and formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is used as a dis-
infectant and antiseptic, and in the manufacture of hexamethylene-
tetramine. The latter, which serves not only in medicine but in
greater amounts as an accelerator in the vulcanization of rubber and
in the manufacture of synthetic resins, shows a decrease in produc-
tion for 1923.
Some medicinals of special interest, reported in 1923 but not in
the previous year, are alphozone (succinic dioxide) and dibromin
(dibromomalonylureide) .
Acetylene derivatives. — Aldol and paracetaldehyde each show an
increased production for the year 1923; on the other hand, the pro-
duction of acetaldehyde shows a decrease. These products are im-
ported from Canada, where during the war a large plant was erected
at Shawinigan Falls to produce acetic acid and acetone fron acetylene.
The production of aldehyde-ammonia, used as an accelerator in the
vulcanization of rubber, shows a decrease in production for the year
1923. Acetylene derivatives reported in 1923 but not in 1922 include
acetylene tetrabromide and acetylene tetrachloride.
Ethylene and propylene derivatives. — Ethylene shows a considerable
increase in production for 1923, being used as an anesthetic in place
of ether or nitrous oxide. Several derivatives of ethylene and pro-
pylene were made in commercial quantities in 1923. Probably the
most important of these is ethylene chlorohydrin, which shows a
large increase in production. These derivatives are manufactured
by at least two companies. The process used is based upon the re-
covery of ethylene and propylene from the waste gases of petroleum-
cracking and from other hydrocarbon gases. Other products from
SYNTHETIC ORGANIC CHEMICALS. NOT OF COAL-TAR ORIGIN, 1923 115
these sources are diethyl sulphate, used as an ethylating agent,
particularly in dye manufacturing, and isopropyl alcohol, used in
organic synthesis, particularly for the perfumery and flavoring
industries.
Gallic and pyrogallic acids are important products of this group.
Gallic acid is a white crystalline substance made from nutgalls, used
in the manufacture of dyes, pyrogallic acid, ink, and in medicine.
Pyrogallic acid is one of the oldest of photographic developers.
Both of these products showed an increased production in 1923.
Dihydroxytartaric acid. — A large increase in the manufacture of
this product is noted for 1923. It finds application in the manu-
facture of a dye known as tartrazine.
Furfural, first reported in commercial quantities in 1922, shows a
large increase in production in 1923. This synthetic is made from
corncobs, a waste material available in practically unlimited quan-
tities. Furfural may have valuable uses in the synthetic resin and
varnish industry.
Lactic acid, used in the leather, textile, and dye industries, shows a
decreased production for 1923. The manufacture of this product by
a controlled fermentation process is an American development.
Oxalic acid, one of the most important chemicals of this group of
synthetics, showed a decrease in production in 1923.
Tetraethyl lead is one of the synthetics reported for the first time
in 1923. It is finding use as an anti-knock compound in gasoline
engines.

INTERNATIONAL DYE TRADE

Part V
INTERNATIONAL DYE TRADE
Introductory
In the census of 1922 the world's trade in synthetic dyes was
the subject of discussion. This included a review of the conditions
existing before the war, when Germany dominated the world trade,
and a consideration of manufacturing developments during and
since the war, as a result of which the United States, Great Britain,
France, and Italy have established home dye industries producing
a great part of the requirements of each country and which have
to some extent developed an export trade in dyes. The dye indus-
tries of Great Britain, Switzerland, and France were considered
in detail. Available statistical information from official sources
on production, consumption, imports and exports of dyes by differ-
ent nations was also included in Part V, International Dye Irade.
General Developments During 1923
The occupation of the Ruhr.— The occupation of the Ruhr by the
French during 1923 had a pronounced effect on the international
dye trade through the partial elimination, for some months of that
year, of active competition by German dye manufacturers. The
total output of dyes in the German factories in January, 1923, was
at the rate of 240,000,000 pounds per year or approximately 85 per
cent of the output in 1913. The monthly production figures of the
German dye plants declined from January to May, when they
reached a minimum output for that year, being at the rate of about
35 per cent of the 1913 output. Then, from June until December,
each month registered a gain in production, the rate in the latter
month being equivalent to nearly 185,000,000 pounds per year.
The total production of 1923 (144,859,572 pounds) was smaller by
47,946,992 pounds than the 1922 output, which had amounted to
192,806,564 pounds. This decrease represents a significant portion
of the world's total annual consumption. The requirements of
China, India, and other large nonmanufacturing consumers were
in part met by the United States, Great Britain, France, and Switzer-
land, as is apparent from the official dye statistics of those countries.
The exports of the United States increased in 1923 to 17,924,200
pounds, valued at $5,565,267, from a 1922 total of 8,344,187 pounds,
with a value of S3, 996,443. The exports of dyes similarly increased
in the United Kingdom, totaling in 1923, 14,132,944 pounds, valued
at $4,719,924, compared with 5,299,504 pounds, valued at $2,714,612,
in 1922. The exports during 1923 of both the United Kingdom
and the United States fell below those of 1920, a year of world-wide
business activity, before German dyes had reappeared in the world's
markets. Germany's monthly production figures for January and
February, 1924, show an output at the rate of nearly 190,000,000
123
124

pounds per year. This expansion in production is obviously a factor
in the world's large dye markets, such as the Far East countries, and
will probably affect exports of dyes from the United States and Great
Britain. The output of the early months of 1924 indicates that the
effects of the Ruhr occupation, which extended from the early part
of 1923 to the latter part of the year, have very largely disappeared.
Seizure of German dyes by French and Belgian authorities. — Accord-
ing to reports from France, 6,560 tons of dyes were seized in'
May, 1923, in the dye plants at Hochst, Ludwigshafen, and Bie-
brich. Of this total, 2,100 tons were sold in order to pay sums due
the German Coal Syndicate by the German dye concerns from
which the dyes were taken. It is understood that the remaining
4,460 tons were to be divided between France and Belgium. A por-
tion of the first dye seizure was resold for exportation. Later
seizures were reported to consist of pharmaceuticals and chemicals.
Indigo and alizarin red comprised a large portion of the seized
stocks. The British Alizarin Company purchased alizarin in quantity
in order to prevent the demoralization of price levels by the dumping
of this dye on the market. The official import figures for the United
Kingdom show a total of 1,445,024 pounds of alizarin, valued at
$391,535, for the month of January. 1924. This amount exceeded
by 503,216 pounds the total imports of alizarin during the entire
year 1923.
Increased, post-war capacity to produce dyes. — The combined capacity
of the world's synthetic dye plants in 1924 is estimated to exceed
600,000,000 pounds per year, or nearly double the pre-war capacity.
In arriving at this estimate the capacity of the seven leading dye-
producing nations has been used. In addition, there is probably
productive plant capacity in Austria, Czechoslovakia, Belgium,
Holland, Sweden, Russia, and possibly other countries, but the aggre-
gate of these minor producers will, it is believed, not seriously affect
this estimate. The estimated capacity for the first seven countries
given in the following table was obtained by adding 25 per cent to
the maximum reported or estimated output.
The existing capacity to produce in excess of normal requirements
can not fail to result in an era of severe competition in the world's
markets, and will finally eliminate many of the plants now producing
dyes.

Germany's Position in the World's Dye Trade
Of primary importance in a consideration of international dye
trade is the pre-war supremacy of Germany and her recent efforts
to regain her lost trade.
The chemical industry is one of the leading industries of Germany.
Its vital place in the welfare of the country is fully appreciated and
the severe loss of trade in dyes and chemicals as a result of the war
can not be considered as permanent.
The organization and growth of the dye industry in Germany up
to the outbreak of the war has been described in great detail in
many technical publications. Accordingly, mention is made here
only of the more important influences which have favored the ex-
pansion of the German industry, together with statistics of the ex-
ports of dyes from 1880 to 1913, demonstrating the remarkable rate
of their growth.
The coal-tar dye industry was established in England and France
several years before it was started in Germany. Professor Hoffman
and other German chemists who had resided in England were thor-
oughly familiar with the initial work on these dyes carried out in the
Royal College of Chemistry and in other English institutions. They
returned to Germany, to find the significance and promise of the coal-
tar dye and chemical industry fully appreciated. The value of
research was, from the start, recognized by the German universities,
the Government, and the industrial firms. This probably more than
any other factor favored the rapid growth and development of the
INTERNATIONAL DYE TRADE
127
industry. Other vital factors in the growth of this chemical branch
were (1) the heavy capital investment; (2) the availability of raw
material; (3) the concentration within a small area; (4) the fact that
foreign patent laws in consuming countries, such as France, Great
Britain, and the United States, were unfavorable to the establish-
ment of domestic dye industries, but favorable to German ownership
of patents; and (5) the intimate relationship between different con-
cerns which resulted, in recent years, in the formation of a powerful
trust.
PRE-WAR TRADE
Prior to the war German dye manufacturers succeeded in eliminat-
ing any serious foreign competition, using to that end such methods
as price cutting, full-line forcing, and dumping.
In 1913, the total exports of dyes reached a maximum, 239,598,133
pounds; adding 40,000,000 pounds as the estimated home consump-
tion, total production during that year approximated 280,000,000
pounds. As Germany then dominated the world's market an
analysis of official dye-export figures throws much light on the world's
dye trade at that time. Table 23 shows total exports of dyes from
Germany in 1913 for the first 10 importing countries both by quantity
and value.

EXPORTS SINCE THE WORLD "WAR
The establishment of dye industries in the United States, Great
Britain, France, and Italy, able to supply most of the home require-
ments and, in addition, to enter the export trade to "some extent,
has resulted in the loss of a large part of Germany's export trade in
dyes, as shown in the following taole:

Of the leading consuming countries which are now dye producers,
the United States ranks first (rating second by quantity of the
world's consumers and first by value). The recovery of this market
is of great importance to Germany, as the United States now possesses
a dye industry ranking second to that of Germany and not only
supplies more than 90 per cent of its domestic requirements, but has
INTERNATIONAL DYE TRADE 129
exported significant amounts of indigo, sulphur black, and other
dyes to Far East markets, a feature tending to prevent German
domination in these markets. It is accordingly a logical move on
the part of Germany to seek to regain the United States market,
even at very great cost and over a prolonged period of effort.
EFFORTS TO REGAIN EXPORT TRADE
No doubt is possible as to the determination of the "I. G. " to
regain for Germany her former supremacy in the world's dye trade.
Of the various methods open to her in the effort to accomplish this
purpose, the following appear to be of leading importance :
(a) Affiliation with concerns in the new dye-producing countries to
establish a foothold in them.
(6) The exercising of influence in competing countries, either di-
rectly or indirectly through consumers, to bring about tariff changes
facilitating a freer entrance of dyes into those countries.
(c) By attacking the export trade of the United States, Great
Britain, and France, to weaken the industry of those nations to the
extent to which the export trade serves as a source of revenue and a
balance of production, and thus to admit of more continuous opera-
tion at lower manufacturing costs.
(d) .The use of propaganda directed against the new foreign in-
dustries and their products and favorable to the German organiza-
tion and its dyes.
0) Commercial warfare, by such well-known methods as price
cutting, full-line forcing, and dumping.
Affiliations. — -The new dye-producing nations, the United States,
Great Britain, France, Italy, and Japan, have adopted tariff measures
or import restrictions calculated to protect and stimulate the pro-
duction of dyes in those countries. Germany has consequently not had
free access to the markets of these countries, which before the war
were dominated by German dyes.
One method open to Germany for establishing a foothold and
sharing the profits is to enter into an affiliation with one or more of
the large dye producers, and to obtain control by purchase of the
major portion of the stock carrying voting rights. In the event of
high protective measures being" continued in those countries, Ger-
many might find it advantageous to purchase outright an existing
American plant, or to establish new plants in the United States,
where their processes could be conducted and their trade secrets
retained exclusively in the hands of German agents. A price-cutting
campaign might be resorted to for the purpose of forcing some of the
existing concerns out of business.
Italy. — The Germans have established themselves in Italy by
affiliation. The Bianchi Co., one of the largest Italian producers, is
reported to have an agreement with the Cassella Co. of Germany,
under which the Germans agree to supply technical assistance and
personnel, and the Italians in turn agree not to sell any products so
produced outside of Italy or its colonies. The profits are divided on
the basis of the relative German and Italian stock ownership. The
effect of this affiliation is (1) to diminish the volume of Italian dyes in
the export market; (2) to effect a sharing of profits in the Italian
home market by the "I. G.," and (3) to enable the exercise of Ger-
man influence in Italy.
130 UNITED STATES TARIFF COMMISSION
France.— An arrangement between the French dye concern Mate-
ries Colorantes, and the "I. G." was reported in 1922. The Ger-
mans are understood to have agreed to furnish technical aid in
return for the French undertaking to restrict exports to their colonies.
The complications of the Ruhr occupation are reported to have
unfavorably affected the operation of this agreement.
Great Britain. — Negotiations were conducted in 1923 between the
British Dye Corporation and the "I. G.," but no working agree-
ment had been reached to June, 1924.
The United States. — In 1923 and 1924 it was reported that
endeavors were being made by German manufacturers to secure
affiliations with certain firms in the United States. Up to June, 1924,
however, no authoritative statement in regard to the conclusion of
such agreements had been published.
Attack on the export trade of the United States, Great Britain, and
France. — The export trade comprises nearly nine-tenths of Germany's
dye business. In the case of the new dye-producing nations it has
been a minor part of the total trade, as the home market demands
made up the bulk of the business. Nevertheless, the dye export
trade for the new industries in the United States and Great Britain
constitutes an important balance for stabilizing production by
offsetting the fluctuations of home consumption. Furthermore, as
the output increases, the unit cost of production declines.
The destruction by Germany of the dye export trade of the United
States, Great Britain, France, and Italy would be an important step
in a program to weaken the new industries. The existence of
competition in the Far East and in other dye markets prevents
German domination and the arbitrary fixing of prices.
In 1921, Germany regained a large part of her trade in Far
East markets, lost during the war. The occupation of the Ruhr in
1923 diminished the German export trade and stimulated that of
the United States and other new dye-producing nations. In 1924,
Germany returned with renewed energy to the Far East markets and
began to regain her former supremacy in them.
Commercial warfare. — The well-known methods employed by the
Germans prior to 1914 may be revived or extended at any time, the
first being price cutting or destructive underselling. In the past, when
a, German firm encountered competition in a dye or other chemical
product, it sold the goods at or below cost until the rival concerns were
forced out of business. Such losses as may result from this price cut-
ting designed to be, and usually are, made up by a higher selling price
in countries where no competition is encountered or by a subsequent
increase in price when competition has been eliminated. In this
connection it should be borne in mind that the export-price levels of
dyes in Germany since the war are far above those of pre-war years.
Full-line forcing has also been an effective weapon of commercial
warfare. Germany produced certain products not duplicated else-
where; the sale of these products can be and was made contingent
upon the acceptance of a full line or by a refusal to sell any dyes
whatever to consumers who attempted to divide their orders. Dump-
ing, 1 and dishonest and deceptive labeling, are among measures which
may be utilized.

INTERNATIONAL DYE TRADE 131
EFFECT OF THE OCCUPATION OF THE RUHR.
In the month of January, 1923, just before the occupation of the
Ruhr by the French, the production of dyes in German plants, based
on the monthly reparation lists, totaled slightly over 20,000,000
pounds, or at the rate of 240,000,000 pounds per year — approximately
85 per cent of the pre-war production (1913). In the month of Feb-
ruary, the total production receded to nearly 16,000,000 pounds and
the output declined from that month until May, when it reached
a minimum of 7,431,962 pounds, or 37 per cent of the January out-
put. During the months of July, August, and September the out-
put registered a slight increase; the average production being about
9,000,000 pounds per month. From October to December, how-
ever, the increase was more rapid, reaching an output of 15,390,586
pounds in December, or at the rate of nearly 185,000,000 pounds
per year.
The effect of the occupation of the Ruhr was most pronounced in
the Hochst and the Badische plants. These are two of the largest
dye producers in the occupied zone. The equivalent quarterly out-
put of the Hochst plant in January was 1,225,010 pounds, rapidly
declining to 57,181 pounds in March, and during April and May
production ceased. From June until November the average monthly
production was about 15 per cent of the January figure. The
November output showed a large increase, and the December pro-
duction was over 70 per cent of the January figure. In the case of
the Badische plant at Ludwigshafen, the January output was
5,304,426 pounds. After a slight drop in February an abrupt decline
was registered, reaching in June the minimum of 131,385 pounds.
Then, starting from an output of 419,641 pounds in July, the upward
movement continued until it reached 5,506,835 pounds in December.
An examination of the monthly output figures of the other dye
plants shows that the occupation had less effect on their output.
The total monthly output of all plants in December had reached 76
per cent of the January figure, showing that the effect of the occu-
pation had been overcome in the latter part of the year. The total
output of 1923 was 75 per cent of the total 1922 production, and
about 13 per cent of the production of the pre-war year 1913.
The production in January, 1924, was 14,153,841 pounds and that
of February, 1924 increased to 15,750,430 pounds, equivalent to
about 189,000,000 pounds per year.

The British Dye Industry
Great Britain's pre-war position. — As stated in the Census of 1922,
the consumption of dyes in Great Britain prior to the war has been
estimated at about 20,000 tons. In 1913 the total imports of
coal-tar dyes were 41,203,008 pounds, with a value of $9,207,684.
In 1907, as reported by the First Census of Production of the United
Kingdom, the production was 139,000 hundredweight (15,568,000
pounds), valued at £373,000 ($1,855,204). It is estimated that the
134 UNITED STATES TARIFF COMMISSION
British production of dyes before the war was somewhat over
one-tenth of the consumption. In the manufacture of alizarin and
sulphur black, British dye producers before the war held a notable
position, as they entered into national conventions in regard to these
products dominated by German influence. A limited variety of acid,
direct, basic, sulphur, and some other of the simpler dyes were pro-
duced in that period. In 1913 the exports of dyes totaled 5,451,376
pounds, with a value of $862,566. The United States was the prin-
cipal consumer, taking 33 per cent by weight and value, followed by
Italy with 11.4 per cent by weight and 9.4 per cent by value, while
Germany took 7.3 per cent by quantity and 11.5 per cent by value.
Of the total British exports 27 per cent by weight and 23 per cent by
value was shipped to British possessions. British India was the
principal consumer among the dominions, taking in the fiscal year
ended March, 1914, a total of 1,070,047 pounds, valued at $153,286,
subdivided as follows: Alizarin dyes, 963,698 pounds, value $114,660;
aniline dyes, 102,869 pounds, value $37,409; all other, 4,480 pounds,
value $1,217.
Developments since the war. — Expansion in the dye industry of Great
Britain from 1916 to 1920 resulted in the production of many colors
in excess of the home requirements. In 1920, a year of world-wide
business boom, before the reappearance of German dyes in the world
markets, exports reached a total of 13,791,680 pounds, with a
value of $9,385,429. This is 153 per cent greater by quantity and
nearly 100 per cent greater by value than the 1913 export figures.
Since 1920 exports have shown an annual decline, the total for 1921
being 7,621,600 pounds, valued at $5,033,828, and for 1922, 3,860,416
pounds, valued at $2,300,298. In 1923, however, as the result of the
Ruhr occupation, exports rose sharply to 14,132,944 pounds, valued
at $4,719,924.
The year 1920 was probably the year of maximum production.
The production of the British Dyestuffs Corporation was reported at
about 16,000 2 tons. As this concern is stated to have produced
about three-fourths of the total output, it would appear that the
total production during that year was nearly 45,000,000 pounds. More
recently, it has been reported that this concern produces about one-
half of the total production. The total production of Great Britain 3
in 1922 is reported to have approximated 21,000,000 pounds, of which
vat dyes exceeded 180,000 pounds and indigo 1,000,000 pounds. As
the result of post-war developments in particular, the British dye
industry (19 producers) is able to supply approximately eight-tenths
of the home requirements, including an excellent variety of the vat
dyes, with production fairly well balanced in the other classes.
Conditions in 1923. 4 — Although the continued trade depression
in Great Britain has affected the demand for dyes, the year 1923
was a better year for the industry than 1922. In certain groups of
dyes there was a decided improvement. The increased repair work
by the railroads stimulated the consumption of paints and allied
products and consequently increased the demand for color-lake dyes.

INTERNATIONAL DYE TEADE 135
The high price of cotton, however, has been an adverse factor in the
improvement of the cotton manufacturing industry, and normal
conditions in the dye industry can not be looked for until the cotton
trade is itself in a more active state. The political situation in
Germany and the occupation of the Ruhr by the French seriously
interfered with the export of British dyes. On the other hand, the
reduction in the available supply of German dyes for the world's
markets was reflected in an increased demand for dyes of British
manufacture. The official figures of exports of coal-tar dyes in Great
Britain show that in 1923 they totaled 14,132,914 pounds, with a
value of $4, 719, 924, as against 1922 figures of 3,860,416 pounds,
valued at $2,300,298.
British dye firms have devoted much attention to quality and
standard of production. It has been stated that " the general level of
quality of British makers' production is equal to that of the best
continental manufacturers."
The more important gaps in the range of British-made dyes are being
rapidly reduced, about a score of dyes not previously manufactured
in Great Britain being placed on the market in 1923. Among Great
Britain's contributions to the range of existing dyes are the Caledon
Jade-greens of the Scottish Dyes, Limited, and the Cettutyl series of
the British Dyestuffs Corporation, used for Celanese silk. Owing to
the general business depression in Great Britain, with consequent
intermittent production, the maximum reduction in the costs of
producing coal-tar dyes is not yet attainable. The great importance
of reduced production costs is fully realized by. the dye makers.
It is reported that the 1923 trading* 5 profits of the British Dyestuffs
Corporation amounted to £251,423, as compared with £102,657
for 1922. The debit balance of £700,699 was reduced to £449,276.
Anglo-German negotiations. — Negotiations for a working ar-
rangement between the British Dyes Corporation and the I. G.
were carried on during 1922 and 1923. Up to July, 1924, no agree-
ment had been concluded. Details of the proposals were not officially
announced until April 8, 1924, when Sir William Alexander, Chair-
man and Managing Director of the British Dyes Corporation, speak-
ing at the fifth annual meeting of the concern, summarized the
negotiations and the replies to some of the principal criticisms of
the proposed arrangement. The statement of Sir William Alexander
is, in part, as follows:
"I now pass to a subject which has caused discussion and criticism
in many quarters recently — namely, the negotiations which have
been proceeding for the conclusion of a working agreement between
your corporation and the Association of German Dyestuffs Manu-
facturers, generally known as the Interessen Gemeinschaft, or I. G.
At the ordinary general meeting held in 1922 I told you that in-
formal negotiations between ourselves and the I. G. had been pro-
ceeding, and that whilst we would welcome an arrangement it must
leave inviolate the principles upon which your undertaking was
founded; namely, the establishment of a dye-making industry in this
country adequate to our needs both in peace and in war.
"At that time the I. G. did not see their way clear to make or accept
proposals consistent with this principle, chiefly, in my opinion,
6 Chemical Trade Journal and Chemical Engineer, Apr. 4, 1924, p. 419.
136 UNITED STATES TARIFF COMMISSION
because they were not convinced that this country was really deter-
mined to maintain the Dyestuffs (Import Regulations) Act, and
also because at that time they had not sufficient proof that we could
manufacture quality for quality as regularly and as well as them-
selves. At the end of last year negotiations were reopened, and it
was found possible to agree on certain heads which, if incorporated
in a document in legal form, might form the basis of a contract which
your directors could recommend their shareholders to accept.
"During the extended negotiations modifications have been made
from time to time in the form of the proposals, following suggestions
which have been made to us and criticisms which have reached us
from many directions.
"I would remind the shareholders that in a matter of such national
and international importance as the conclusion of an agreement
between your undertaking and the great German combine, the
Government, under the articles of association, has the final and
decisive voice. Until the Government has indicated at least its
general approval of the lines on which we have proceeded, it is im-
possible to enter into details. In any event, the board would not
venture to submit a scheme for the approval of shareholders which
did not safeguard the interests of the undertaking both from a
national and from a shareholders' point of view.
"Reply to Criticisms. — It is said that pressure would be exerted on
the score of cost of production to concentrate production in Germany
as far as possible, with diminution of the output of the corporation's
factories. We are sure that with our natural resources in raw mate-
rials we should be able to manufacture with the assistance of the I. G.
as cheaply and efficiently as they themselves, and the whole spirit
of the negotiations is against any diminution in the output of the
corporation's factories, and is even in favor of an increased produc-
tion.
"We have taken our stand on the principles enunciated two years
ago with regard to the objects for which the corporation was formed,
namely, to "concentrate, extend, and expedite the manufacture of
synthetic dyestuffs and colors in this country."
"There are those who think that acceptance of the contract would
curtail or eliminate research from our activities, since it may be
cheaper and easier to take the results of research ready-made from
the I. G. I wish to declare categorically that there is not the slightest
intention of diminishing the activities of our research department,
and in the preamble to the agreement we propose to state that it is
essential that research in organic chemistry and its application to
industry must be continued and developed in this country. The
establishment and development of the industry in this country is a
fundamental condition of any arrangement. In the past the efforts
of the research department have been mainly expended in improving
existing processes, in cheapening costs, and in developing manufactur-
ing recipes for dyestuffs already known to the I. G. Continuous
pressure from consumers for lower prices and a wider range of dye-
stuffs has forced us in that direction, but with all further technical
information readily forthcoming from the I. G. on dyestuffs which
are already known, our research department should be free to enter
upon entirely new fields of investigation. Our works chemists
would have the freest access to German plants and methods.
INTERNATIONAL DYE TRADE
137
"There was a fear that a contract might be concluded which would
close the free access of dyestuff consumers in this country to German
sources of supply with the advantages which that access confers in
the way of technical assistance in dyeing problems, information
regarding new developments, and in other ways. The proposals,
as originally drafted, provided that the I. G. should retire so far as
selling is concerned from the British market. To meet the views
of users, the proposed arrangement has been modified to permit their
obtaining German dyestuffs in any way they please, subject, of course,
to any legislative restrictions.
"Anticipated benefits. — We believe that, if we are able to bring our
negotiations to a satisfactory conclusion, they will result in an expan-
sion of our range of dyestuffs to a point where the quality, quantity,
variety, and price would guarantee the British consumer all the secur-
ity he could reasonably ask for. We are also of opinion that not
only would the arrangement secure a national industry for peace-
time requirements, but would provide the nation with an equipped
and trained personnel as a most valuable contribution to our defenses
in time of peril. Increased output by securing a greater share of
British and overseas requirements will mean more employment for
workmen and chemists and a reasonable return on their investments
to the shareholders who have invested capital, many from patriotic
motives, in this young industry."
The general terms of the proposed agreement are understood to be
as follows : 6
1. The British Dyestuffs Corporation shall have a monopoly of
the British market and a percentage share of foreign and colonial
markets.
2. It shall be able to draw upon the I. G. for personnel and infor-
mation as to manufacturing and technical processes on lines similar
to those adopted between the I. G. and a corresponding French firm.
3. In return the I. G. shall receive one-half of the profits of the
British Dyestuffs Corporation.
4. The British Dyestuffs Corporation shall offer users of dyes a
guaranty that such dyes as it continues to import into this country
shall not be sold at a higher price than is obtained abroad.
5. There will be no more reparation deliveries of dyestuffs.

The Swiss Dye Industry
Prior to the war the Swiss dye industry, notwithstanding the
absence of raw materials, ranked second to that of Germany, produc-
ing about 7 per cent of the total world's output, the value of dye ex-
ports in 1913 from Switzerland exceeding one-tenth of the total
value of the products exported from Germany. The raw materials
were formerly imported almost entirely from Germany. During and
since the war these materials have been imported from Great Britain,
the United States, France, Italy, Poland, and more recently from
Germany.
INTERNATIONAL DYE TRADE
139
The absence of German dyes from the world's markets during
and immediately after the war resulted in a period of unprecedented
prosperity for Swiss dye manufacturers. In 1920 the exports of
Swiss dyes totaled 23,739,793 pounds, with a value of $35,411,115 —
over six times that of the pre-war year 1913.
The three leading dye producers of Switzerland located in Basel,
namely, Die Gesellschaf t f iir Chemische Industrie (known as " Ciba"),
Die Chemische Fabrik, vormals Sandoz, and the J. R. Geigy Co.,
formed a union of interests ("Interessen Gemeinschaft") similar to
that of the German dye producers. A significant development among
the Swiss dye manufacturers is the establishment and operation of
their branch plants in foreign countries. In the United States,
the branch plants are the Cincinnati Chemical Works, at Norwood
and St. Bernard, Ohio; in Great Britain, the Clayton Aniline Co.
(Ltd.), at Clayton, near Manchester; in Italy, the Fabbrica Lom-
barda Colori D'Anilina and the Felli Co. (successors of Fisher and
Hunold) are understood to be connected with the Swiss manufac-
turers; in France, the Swiss manufacturers are similarly reported
to have branch plants. Prior to the war, the Society of the Chemi-
cal Industry of Basel had a branch plant at St. Fous, and the J. R.
Geigy Co., of Basel, operated a branch at Maronne, near Rouen.
Although the new dye-producing nations — Great Britain, the United
States, France, and Italy — have adopted tariff and other protective
measures which have resulted in a diminution of dye exports from
Switzerland, the Swiss industry has been able, through the branch
plants operated in those countries, to cater to their dye require-
ments to an extent beyond that indicated merely by the imports
originating directly in Switzerland.

The French Dye Industry
In the commission's report in 1922 7 the French dye industry
for the following periods was considered:
Dye production in France, immediately prior to the war.
Developments during and after the war, together with the pro-
duction figures for the years 1919, 1920, 1921, and part of 1922.
Merger of Kuhlmann and Compagnie Nationale. — The merger of
"Etablissements Kuhlmann" and the "Compagnie Nationale de
Matieres Colorantes et de Produits Chimiques'' on December 27,
1923, is probably the most significant event of that year in the
French chemical industry, involving as it did a consolidation of
organic and inorganic chemical undertakings. The new firm is
known as " Compagnie Nationale de Matieres Colorantes et Manu-
factures de Produits Chimiques du Nord Reunies."
The merger is expected to result in administrative and sales
economy, reduction of overhead, the avoidance of duplication in
manufacture, and the union of technical staffs. The new firm will
produce a diversity of organic and inorganic products, affording
added stability and security in times of crisis.
The financial advantages are conspicuous, as the Compagnie
Nationale, while possessing an excellent technical staff, had not
established itself on a solid financial basis. The Kuhlmann is in a
strong financial position and has a century-long tradition of good
administration. The nominal capital of the Etablissements Kuhl-
mann will be increased to 150,000,000 francs by an issue of 50,000,000
francs of new shares having a par value of 250 francs each. The
shares of the Compagnie Nationale de Matieres Colorantes will be
exchanged share for share for the new Kuhlmann stock, dated as of
t U. S. Tariff Commission, Census of Byes and Other Synthetic Organic Chemicals, p. 134.

January 1, 1924, and will receive an exchange settlement of 25
francs per share. This settlement will largely cover the tax applying
to the operation of fusing the two companies.
The new concern produces a variety of products, including mineral
acids, phosphate, nitrogen fertilizer, raw materials for the glass
industry, ice plants, and the tanning industry; fungicides, dyes,
pharmaceutical and other organic chemicals.
The Etablissements Kuhlmann manufactures mineral acids and
has already produced certain intermediates at La Madeleine-lez-
Lille plant. Intermediates will continue to be made at Oissel, with
the exception of a few products consuming a large amount of acid
to be drawn from La Madeleine plant. Dye manufacture will
remain centralized in large works developed by the Compagnie
Nationale at Villers-Saint-Paul.
The Compagnie Nationale de Matieres Colorantes et de Produits
Chimiques was formed in 1916 with the support of the Government
and the cooperation of many French industrial and financial interests.
It had originally a capital of 40,000,000 francs, increased in 1919
to 71,000,000 on its fusion with the Societe de Produits CLimiques
et Colorantes Francais. In 1921 the capital was inerea-ed to
100,000,000 francs. The rapid development of this concern enabled
it to supply a large part of French dye requirements, attention being
first given to the bulk colors and later to some of the specialties.
Statistics of production, imports, and exports. — The following table,
taken from an advertisement of the Compagnie Nationale of France,

The Italian Dye Industry
Pre-war production.— Prior to the war the production of dyes in
Italy was practically negligible, the country's requirements being
mostly imported from Germany. On account of the lack of coal,
Italy, like Switzerland, is very largely dependent upon imported raw
materials although having a limited output of crudes, together with
sulphur and salt and the advantage of electrolytic development for
INTERNATIONAL DYE TRADE 143
the manufacture of chlorine and caustic soda. The sulphur dye
named Italian Green was manufactured by Lepetit & Dollgus be-
fore the war, and some dyes, including sulphur Mack, were made
from imported intermediates. The sulphur black was made in small
quantities in 1908 by Rinalso Ghisotti, at Turro; this plant was
later acquired by A. Bonneti, who produced aniline. The company
which is now known as Societa Chimica Lombarda, A. E. Bianchi
Company of Rho (Milan), began to manufacture sulphur black in
1913.
Post-war developments. — The Bianchi firm, on the outbreak of the
war, began the manufacture of explosives and particularly of dinitro-
phenol; they increased their output of sulphur black and started
the production of certain azo dyes. In 1923 the output of dyes by
this firm was about 5 tons per day and they are to-day one of the
larger producers. The concern has an agreement with the Cassella
Works, of Frankfort, and imports some of its intermediates from
Germany. In 1914, Dellapiane & Co. began the production of sulphur
black and in 1915 produced other sulphur dyes. The plant was
moved to Rho in 1916, and in 1918 was reorganized under the name
Societa Italica Colori Artificiali (Italica). It now produces many
azo dyes, including direct dyes for cotton and a number of basic
dyes, together with a wide range of sulphur colors. All these dyes
are said to be produced from intermediates manufactured at the
plant. In 1916 this firm had only four chemists, but in 1923 had
28, and its daily output of dyes in the latter year was about 5,000
kilos (11,000 pounds).
The Botelli Company, of Madonna di Campagna (Turin), began
the production of sulphur black during the war. In 1919 the firm
amalgamated with the Fabrique de Produits Chimiques, the Rohner
Company, of Isvizzera, and the new concern is now producing
intermediates for azo dyes, chrome colors, etc. The Schiapparelli
concern, of Turin, produces aniline oil and sulphur black, and the
Ledogia firm at Garessio manufactures sulphur colors.
The plant of the Societa Italiana Prodotti Esplodente (known as
"S. I. P. E."), more particularly designed for the manufacture of
explosives, was later diverted to the manufacture of synthetic dyes.
The company produces at its Cengio (Liguria) works large quantities
of aniline oil and other intermediates and is reported to be connected
with the Societa Italica Colori Artificiali.
During the war, the Industria Nazionali Colori de Anilina (known
as "I. N. C. A.") produced dinitrophenol, and in 1916 acquired
licenses for operating a number of patents owned by Levinstein's
Limited, of Great Britain; in 1919 it began the production of sul-
phur dyes, direct cotton dyes, and acid dyes. In 1923 it produced
1,600 tons of sulphur black and 200 tons of other colors.
The Fabbriche Italiane Materie Coloranti Bonelli, organized dur-
ing the war for the manufacture of munitions, especially dinitro-
phenol, erected in the immediate post-war period a large electrolytic
alkali plant and began the production of dyes. At present it is one
of the largest dye producers in Italy. Among other firms may be
mentioned the Fabbrica Lombarda Colori Anilina ("I. P. C. A."),
which, following a commercial agreement with the Swiss manufac-
turers, Sandoz & Co.. began the production of sulphur black and a
few direct cotton colors at its Bovisa (Milan) works.
144
UNITED STATES TAEIFF COMMISSION
The Industria Piedmontese Colori di Anilina produces sulphur
blacks and direct cotton dyes, but does not manufacture intermediates.
Felli & Co. (successors of Fisher & Hunold) began, during the
war, the production of aniline oil, dinitrophenol, betanaphthol, and
sulphur black. They ceased operations after the war, but have since
resumed activities with the help of the Ciba Co., of Switzerland.
Production,* 1918-1922. — In 1918 the total Italian production of
synthetic dyes was about 10,000 quintals (2,204,600 pounds), almost
entirely sulphur dyes. In 1922 the production was about 50,000
quintals (11,023,000 pounds), of which about 39,000 quintals
(8,597,940 pounds) were sulphur dyes.
According to Professor Poma, 9 in his paper of June, 1923, the
present production in Italy of dyes is about 2,000,000 kilograms
(4,409,200 pounds) of sulphur black and 200,000 kilograms (440,921
pounds) of other sulphur colors. The production of azo and basic
dyes totals about 2,000,000 kilos (4,409,200 pounds), making a
total of 4,200,000 kilos (9,259,300 pounds). Among the basic dyes
produced in Italy are: Methyl violet, Methylene blue, Vesuvine,
Chrysoidine, and Malachite green.
In 1922 the Cesana Maderno works began the construction of a
large indigo plant, but the work was suspended. No attempt has
been made to manufacture anthraquinone vat dyes in Italy.

The Japanese Dye Industry
^Yar developments. — Previous to the outbreak of the World War,
Japan was largely dependent upon imports of synthetic coal-tar
colors from Germany. The exports of coal-tar dves from Germany
to Japan in 1913 were 9,744,333 pounds, valued at $3,453,900. In
view of the importance of her textile industries, Japan was seriously
affected by the shortage of dyes when German imports were cut on
at the beginning of the war. Although Japan has in its coal-gas
industry a domestic source of crude coal-tar materials, it is reported
that the Japanese production of coal tar is insufficient to supply
crudes for all the dyestuffs required. The nine gas and other
companies producing coal-tar products in 1918 are credited with an
output for that year of 5,415 tons of crudes, including 3,100 tons of
benzene; 590 tons of toluene; 40 tons of xylene; 125 tons of phenol;
1,400 tons of refined naphthalene, and 160 tons of crude anthracene.
With the encouragement of the Government, the dye industry devel-
oped so that more than 100 factories were engaged in that industry
during the war. There were large post-war imports of foreign dyes
and the manufacturers who have remained in business have had
to receive considerable aid from the Japanese Government.
Production. — Figures for 1918-1923 are given in the following table:

The tendency in Japan to-day is to import the more expensive
dyes and to manufacture the cheaper colors. As may be seen from
the above table, sulphur colors form the bulk of the requirements
of the domestic market. Sulphur black in large quantities, as well
as smaller amounts of the other sulphur colors, are used for dyeing
cotton fabrics to be made into garments. In addition to the manu-
facture of sulphur colors the Japanese manufacturers have success-
fully produced direct colors, among which may be mentioned Benzo
fast red A; Congo red; Benzo purpurine; Chrysophenine yellow;
Direct black and Direct blue; basic dyes, such as Methylene blue;
Methyl violet, and Rhodamine B ; also some acid dyes and alizarines.
It is reported that only two dye factories are now operating on a
large scale in Japan — the Japan Dye Manufacturing Co., Osaka,
and the Mitsui Mining Co.
Imports, 1920-1923. — Since 1918 there has been a steady increase
in the quantity of foreign dyes imported. The present duty (May,
1924) on natural indigo dry is $12.69 per 100 pounds; on natural

UNITED STATES TAKIFF COMMISSION
indigo paste 20 per cent ad valorem. The duty on artificial indigo
is 20 per cent ad valorem, and on other coal-tar dyes 35 per cent
ad valorem. Germany has made a strong effort to capture this
market and in 1921 was the leading exporter; on the other hand,
imports of dyes from the United States have more or less steadily
declined until, in 1923, they amounted to less than 4 per cent of the
total.

INDIA
India, with its large population, ranks among the world's leading
consumers of dyes. An analysis of the German dye export figures
for 1913, the year of maximum exportation for that country, shows
that British India was fifth among the world's nations receiving
German dyes by quantity (15,008,916 pounds) and sixth by value
($3,168,060). As it is primarily a cotton-consuming country, cotton
dyes constitute the great majority of imports, and with continued ex-
pansion in cotton manufacturing it promises to become an increasingly
large market for synthetic dyes. A few natural dyes are extensively
used, particularly natural indigo. In 1907 and 1908, 405,900 acres of
indigo were under cultivation, the exports in that year amounting to
3,249,000 pounds, valued at $2,665,766. This product is now, how-
ever, relatively unimportant as an export item, being unable to com-
pete with synthetic indigo in the world's market. Synthetic indigo
is even imported into the country.
As an indication of the position occupied by India among the dye-
consuming nations, imports for the pre-war year, 1913, totaled
16,923,607 pounds, valued at $3,741,031, of which " alizarin dyes made
up nearlv 25 per cent by value and 38 per cent by weight." Imports
in 1922 were 11,731,237 pounds, valued at $11,798,262, with red as
the prevailing color, led by alizarin paste, used for the production of
turkey red. In 1914, 72' per cent of the alizarin dyes came from
Germany and 15 per cent from the United Kingdom.
Estimates for the imports of the individual leading dves for 1922
are as follows: Alizarin, 3,600,000 pounds; Congo red, 2,100,000
pounds; and Sulphur black, 1,000,000 pounds. The imports of Congo
red are reported to exceed all other direct cotton dyes, while the
imports of sulphur black similarly exceed all other Sulphur colors
INTERNATIONAL DYE TRADE
153
Basic dyes have a less extensive consumption; they find applica-
tion for cotton, silk, jute, and coir. The principal members of that
class used in India include Magenta, Auramine, Methyl violet, and
Malachite green; in the case of the latter two dyes, the trade is accus-
tomed to large crystals.
Acid dyes are imported for wall paper and ceremonial powders,
while chrome dyes are in small demand. As to methods 01 dyeing,
yarn dyeing leads, followed by piece and raw stock dyeing. Consid-
erable hand printing with wooden blocks is also carried on. Bombay,
on account of the large number of cotton mills in that Province, is
probably the leading Indian port for the importation of coal-tar dyes.
It is a distributing dye center for coastwise and country shipments.
Recovery of import trade by Germany. — An examination of the import
figures of British India shows that Germany in 1921 and 1922 regained
a large share of the import trade which had been taken over by Great
Britain, the United States, and Switzerland during the war. Accord-
ing to Indian official figures, more than three-fourths of the dye im-
ports of 1914, both by weight and value, originated in Germany. In
1920, the year before Germany reentered the world's markets, imports
of German dyes into India were insignificant. In 1921, however,
they reappeared in the world's markets and comprised slightly over
one-third of that year's imports into India, increasing to about one-
half of the imports in 1922. The increase in Germany's share in the
import trade is reflected in a conspicuous drop in the 1922 dye im-
ports, as compared with 1921, from the United Kingdom and even
more so from the United States. Imports from the United Kingdom
in 1921 totaled 3,613,820 pounds, valued at $3,619,734; thev declined
in 1922 to 2,960,634 pounds, valued at $3,107,969. The decrease in
the imports of dyes from the United States is still more striking; in
1921 they amounted to 2,019,871 pounds, valued at $2,831,326, as
compared with 1922 figures of 723,285 pounds and $1,029,090.

Reparation Dyes 10
1. Under the terms of the treaty of Versailles provision was made
for deliveries in kind by German} 7 . Annex VI to Part VIII of the
treaty dealt with the delivery of dyes and pharmaceutical products.
The full text of Annex VI follows:
I
Germany accords to the Reparation Commission an option to require as part
of reparation the delivery by Germany of such quantities and kinds of dyestuffs
and chemical drugs as the commission may designate, not exceeding 50 per
cent of the total stock of each and every kind of dyestuff and chemical drug
in Germany or under German control at the date of the coming into force of
the present treaty.
This option shall be exercised within 60 days of the receipt by the commis-
sion of such particulars as to stocks as may be considered necessary by the com-
mission.
II
Germany further accords to the Reparation Commission an option to require
delivery during the period from the date of the coming into force of the present
treaty until 1st June, 1920, and during each period of six months thereafter until
1st January, 1925, of any specified kind of dyestuff and chemical drug up to an
amount not exceeding 25 per cent of the German production of such dyestuffs
and chemical drugs during the previous six months' period. If in any case the
production during such previous six months was, in the opinion of the commis-
sion, less than normal, the amount required may be 25 per cent of the normal
production.
Such option shall be exercised within four weeks after the receipt of such
particulars as to production and in such form as may be considered necessary
by the Commission; these particulars shall be furnished by the German Govern-
ment immediately after the expiration of each six months' period.
Ill
For dyestuffs and chemical drugs delivered under paragraph 1, the price shall
be fixed by the commission, having regard to pre-war net export prices and to
subsequent increases of cost.
For dyestuffs and chemical drugs delivered under paragraph 2, the price shall
be fixed by the commission, having regard to pre-war net export prices and sub-
sequent variations of cost, or the lowest net selling price of similar dyestuffs
and chemical drugs to any other purchaser.
IV
All details, including mode and times of exercising the options, and making
delivery, and all other questions arising under this arrangement shall be deter-
mined by the Reparation Commission; the German Government will furnish
to the commission all necessary information and other assistance which it may
require.
V
The above expression "dyestuffs and chemical drugs" includes all synthetic
dyes and drugs and intermediate or other products used in connection with
dyeing, so far as they are manufactured for sale. The present arrangement
shall also apply to cinchona bark and salts of quinine*
DYES
As regards dyestuffs the intention of the Reparation Commission
was as follows:
1. To place at the disposal of the Allied and Associated Powers
the dyes immediately necessary for their industries.
2. To furnish a continuous supply up to January 1, 1925.
Following the signing of the treaty, consideration was given to
Annex VI in view of the urgent needs of dyes by the Allied countries.
10 The information on reparation dyes is taken from "Report on the Works of the Reparation Commis-
sion from 1920-1922, printed and published by His Majesty's Stationery Office, 23 Imperial House, King's
Way, London, WC2.

The subcommittee, composed of dye experts from the United States,
Great Britain, Italy, and Belgium, was appointed, as was also a
German expert committee, comprising representatives of the lead-
ing German dye firms and presided over by Herr Carl von Weinberg.
Agreement was made at the first meeting on August 8, 1919, at
Versailles, to take an inventory of stocks on hand in the German fac-
tories as on August 15. The inventory of dyes on hand sub-
mitted by Germany totaled 20,706,114 kilos (20,380 tons 11 ) and in
addition 816,610 kilos (804 tons) of intermediates. The following
table shows the stocks of dyes and intermediates on hand in each of
the German factories on August 15, 1919:

In theory the option on these stocks could not be exercised until the treaty
entered into force. None the less, in view of the urgent needs of France, Italy,
and Belgium, it was decided, with the consent of Germany, in the course of a
meeting of the Allies held in London for that purpose on September 15,
1919, to authorize the immediate withdrawal of 5,200 tons from the stocks of
August 15. This agreement was ratified by the organization committee on
September 17, the details governing the deliveries were arranged with the
German experts at the beginning of October, and a protocol finally signed on
November 3.
Deliveries on the 5,200-ton account began on November 22, 1919.
After a prolonged consideration of the distribution of the remainder
of the stocks on hand (August 15, 1919) it was decided to divide the
dyes into groups and to base the percentage of distribution on the
German export statistics of 1913. These figures were modified to
allow for new conditions and for home consumption. The following
table shows the percentage distribution:

UNITED STATES TARIFF COMMISSION
Orders for deliveries from the stocks on hand continued to be
forwarded up to September 1, 1920, and the total deliveries of dyes
amounted to 9,889,650 kilos (9,733 tons).
Paragraph 2 of Annex VI gave the commission an option for each six monthly
period for delivery "of any specific kind of dyestuff and chemical drug up to an
amount not exceeding 25 per cent of the German production of such dyestuffs
and chemical drugs during the previous six months' period." The option came
into force with the treaty, that is, on January 10, 1920.
At a meeting held in January, 1920, the German experts proposed that the
Allies should establish a program, to be carried out by Germany, of their real
needs for three months and that the Reparation Commission should exercise its
option on the monthly production. This proposal was accepted and a provisional
protocol for its execution was signed on January 30, 1920. Since that date
Germany has had to inform the commission each month of the production of the
preceding month of all dyestuffs, as well as of the lowest prices at which they have
been supplied to other purchasers. In practice the prices quoted are always
those of the German internal market. . The monthly lists of production are
communicated to the interested Governments and they are given a certain time
to pass orders up to the amount of the percentages attributed to them. These
percentages were drawn up on the basis employed for the distribution of the
balance of the stocks of August 15; they have been modified on more
than one occasion, owing to unforeseen demands from Japan, and again owing
to the provisional abandonment of deliveries by Japan and subsequently by the
United States.
The two following tables show the percentage distribution by coun-
tries of 25 per cent of the daily production of dyes, (1) when the United

INTERNATIONAL DYE TRADE 159
After the expiration of the time limit the remaining dyes were
offered to the different countries without regard to the percentages,
and withdrawals were also made for deliveries to countries having
no percentage (the Serb- Croat-Slovene State and Greece) :
The drawing up of the quarterly program of the needs of the Allied countries
for the purpose of the agreement, which was to replace the provisional agree-
ment of January 30, 1920, presented serious difficulties, and the protocol
of that date was first renewed on Apjjil 28, 1920, and a second time in a
slightly different form on May 31.
The protocol for the delivery of dyes of May 31, 1920, follows:
Pending the final execution of the agreement outlined at the meeting of th e
dyestuff sub-commission of the Reparation Commission, January 28, 1920, or
of a similar agreement, the German Government undertakes to deliver to the
Reparation Commission from June 1, 1920, forward, 25 per cent of the Ger-
man daily production of dyestuff s.
It will likewise deliver intermediate products used in dyeing and printing in
such quantities as shall equal the quantities of those same products delivered
to the various countries before the war for the same uses.
The prices at which these dyestuffs and intermediate products will be deliv-
ered shall be the lowest price at which these same dyestuffs and intermediate
products have been offered 12 during the same month to any buyer, German or
other.
These deliveries will be credited to Germany in the reparation account.
It is understood that the present agreement in no way constitutes a renuncia-
tion by the Reparation Commission of any of the rights conferred upon it by
the treaty of Versailles, particularly as regards the paragraphs above concern-
ing intermediate products and prices.

N. B. — This protocol and all the other protocols and agreements concerning
Annex VI having been prepared in the French language, and the French text
being the only one signed by the Germans, the French text alone is authentic.
The German factories continued to turn out large quantities of the simpler
dyestuffs, which were also being produced in United States, British, French, and
Italian factories, with the result that a proportion of them remained at the
disposal of the commission. In order not to disturb the markets by putting
these dyestuffs on sale, the commission negotiated the sale of the untaken bal-
ances to the Association of German Dyestuff Manufacturers (Interessengemein-
schaft) and on February 3, 1921, an agreement was signed under which
this association bought them back at 75 per cent of the value shown on the
monthly lists of production. This contract dealt with all the balances of the
25 per cent of production from February to May, 1920, and the sum paid to the
commission amounted to 44,384,420 paper marks (3,026,100 gold marks).
In the case of many types of dyestuffs 25 per cent of the German production
was not sufficient to satisfy the needs of the Allied countries, and, indeed, many
of the products for which there was a demand were not even manufactured.
The commission sought to fill this gap. The chief requirements were to enable
the Allied distributing organizations to satisfy their own clients, whatever might
be the quantity called for, and to provide the materials at a reasonable price.
Several conferences were held with the German experts in July, 1921. It ap-
peared desirable, in order to interest the German factories in the smooth working
of the agreement which was under negotiation, to make a concession on the
price of the quantities in excess of those the delivery of which was provided fcr
in the earlier protocols, and it was in this spirit that the supplementaryagreement
of the 19th August, 1921, was signed after long negotiations.

160 UNITED STATES TAEIPF COMMISSION
This agreement follows :
APPENDIX XXVIII
AGREEMENT SUPPLEMENTARY TO THE DYESTUFFS PROTOCOL OF MAY
31, 1920
Paris, 19th August, 1921.
The following clauses shall be applied to the protocol of 31st May, 1920, which
governs, in so far as dyestuffs are concerned, the execution of paragraph 2, Annex
VI to Part VIII of the treaty of Versailles.
Article 1
The I. G. of the German dye factories, whilst continuing to hold at the disposal
of the Reparation Commission 25 per cent of the amount of dyestuffs manufac-
tured each month, agrees to deliver, as far as possible, on reparation account,
dyestuffs asked for in quantities superior to 25 per cent of the production of such
dyes.
However, the total value of the dyes delivered on reparation account out of the
production of any one month shall not exceed 25 per cent of the total value of the
total production for that month.
ffa Article 2
Those quantities superior to 25 per cent of the production of each dyestuff
shall be debited in reparation account at the lowest price that the I. G. of the
German dye factories shall have sold at 13 in each of the receiving countries during
the month preceding the month of delivery or during the month of delivery, but
always at the lower of these two prices.
However, the prices fixed by the protocol of 31st May, 1920, shall be applied
to a minimum quantity of each dyestuff to be delivered in accordance with
articles 1 and 2, such minimum quantity to be agreed upon jointly by the Repara-
tion Commission and the I. G. on the basis of the production of each dyestuff
during the 15 months from 1st February, 1920, to 30th April, 1921 (see letter
from I. G. attached).
Article 3
For such dyestuffs as the amount asked for is liable to exceed 25 per cent of
the production, firm orders shall be given by each Allied and Associated Power
within one month of the signing of the present agreement for the first three
months' period and for the succeeding three-monthly periods during the last
month of the preceding period. The quantities thus ordered shall not exceed
the needs of the consuming industries of each country.
Article 4
The Reparation Commission recognizes that dyestuffs delivered on reparation
account should not be reexported, and will therefore ask the Governments of the
Allied and Associated Powers receiving dyestuffs to give to their respective dis-
tributing organizations the instructions necessary to prevent, as far as possible,
this reexportation.
Article 5
As to dyestuffs of which deliveries are not to exceed 25 per cent of the produc-
tion and of which 25 per cent of the production is held at the disposal of the Repa-
ration Commission, the commission agrees that firm orders for these shall be
given within 60 days after receipt of the monthly lists of production. Quantities
for which firm orders are not given within this period shall automatically remain
at the free disposal of the I. G.

than the term "sold."
INTERNATIONAL DTE TRADE 161
Article 6
There shall be left at the free disposal of the I. G. —
(a) On the signing of this agreement the reliquats of the seven months from 1st
June to 31st December, 1920;
(6) Within 30 days of the date of signature of this agreement, the reliquats of
the months of January and February, 1921;
(c) Within 60 days of the date of signature of this agreement, the reliquats of
the three months from 1st March to 31st May, 1921.
Article 7
The Reparation Commission will forward to the "Centrale des Usines de
Matieres Colorantes" at Frankfort within 30 days of the date of this agreement
a provisional list of specified dyestuffs, which in future will no longer have to be
held at the disposal of the Reparation Commission. This list will be subject to
change as the Reparation Commission may direct.
It is, moreover, understood that the monthly lists of production handed over to
the Reparation Commission by the "Centrale" of Frankfort shall continue to
show the production of all dyestuffs manufactured, whether or not they are to
be held at the disposal of the commission.
Article 8
The present agreement will remain in force until revoked by the Reparation
Commission. Notice of such revocation must be given at the beginning of a
three-monthly period to take effect for the next period.
Article 9
The I. G. will do the necessary to be assured that the German Government will
not oppose the present agreement.

ANNEX TO AN AGREEMENT SUPPLEMENTARY TO THE PROTOCOL OF
MAY 31, 1920
Letter from the I. G. of German synthetic dyestuff factories to the
bureau for dyestuffs and pharmaceutical products of the Reparation
Commission :
Paris, 12th July, 1921.
The I. G. declares that it will carry out article 2 of the supplementary agree-
ment to the protocol of 31st May, 1920, concerning dyestuffs, as follows:
When a product is concerned which has not been manufactured during the
15 months taken as a basis, and such manufacture is undertaken to fill an order
from the Allies, during the first three-montlfly period 50 per cent of the amount
delivered will be priced at the price prevailing on the German interior market.
This, however, does not apply to products never manufactured before the coming
into effect of the treaty.
When a product is concerned which was manufactured during the 15 months
taken as a basis, but in quantity considered insufficient, the lower price will be
applied to a quantity to be determined by common agreement, which quantity
will be between the 25 per cent of the average monthly production of the 15
months and 50 per cent of the amount ordered.
However, the lower price will always be applied to a quantity equal at least
to 25 per cent of the actual production.
For the I. G. of German synthetic dyestuff factories.
(Signed) C. von Weinberg.
162 UNITED STATES TAEIFF COMMISSION
This agreement enabled the Allied distributing agencies to place
quarterly orders for their requirements and to provide for reserves.
It only binds Germany to deliver "as far as possible," and does not
fix the price in advance. However, in nearly all cases the syndicate
manufactured the desired products, and with few exceptions prices
were reasonable.
The quarterly orders under this agreement up to December, 1922,
are indicated below:
Tons ordered
July-September, 1921 496
October-December, 1921 1, 178
Januarv-Mareh, 1922 1, 198
April-June, 1922 1, 549
July-September, 1922 i 2, 061
October-December, 1922 2, 433
The agreement of August 19, 1921, was modified on June 12, 1922,
to facilitate the calculation of prices.
This amendment, given below, was extended "sine die" on De-
cember 15, 1922.
Paris, June 12, 1922.
PROVISIONAL AMENDMENT TO THE SUPPLEMENTARY AGREEMENT OF
AUGUST 19, 1921, RELATIVE TO DYESTUFFS
I. To facilitate the application of the supplementary agreement of August 19,
1921, it is decided that the following rules will apply to the quarterly orders
July-September, and October-December, 1922. In so far as these two periods
are concerned, the text which follows shall constitute a provisional amendment
to such clauses of the supplementary agreement as might be contradictory to
the present text.
II. All quarterly orders for July-September and October-December, 1922, will
be invoiced as follows: 50 per cent at the price fixed by the protocol of May 31,
1920; 50 per cent at the lowest price that the I. G. shall have sold at in each of
the receiving countries during the month preceding the month of delivery or during
the month of delivery, but always at the lower of these two prices.
III. Upon receipt of the quarterly orders, the Centrale will furnish, for infor-
mation, the export prices quoted for the countries interested at the time the
orders are placed.
IV. To obtain the 25 per cent of the daily production, the quantities ordered
in the quarterly orders will be deducted from the total actual production of the
factories during the corresponding quarter. The 25 per cent of the difference
between the actual production and the quarterly orders will appear in the pro-
duction lists of the months from July to December, 1922. This entire 25 per cent
will be at the disposal of the Reparation Commission in accordance with the
Protocol of May 31, 1920.

Two other agreements of minor importance included: (1) An agree-
ment between the German factories and the French holders of pre-
war contracts of dyes; (2) a Belgian-German agreement under which
Belgium could order on reparation account, at open market prices,
any dyes not obtainable within its share of the 25 per cent of daily
production or within the quarterly orders.
A question of interpretation arose on the intermediates in paragraph
5 of Annex VI, as the French and English texts were not identical.
The question was whether the commission's option extended to in-
termediates used in making dyes or was limited to those products
used in dyeing and printing. The Reparation Commission provision-
ally limited its option to the intermediates used in dyeing and printing.
The Allied experts considered it desirable to encourage the dye makers
INTERNATIONAL DYE TRADE 163
in their respective countries to produce their own intermediates and,
in order to avoid their use in dye making, the option was restricted
to the pre-war consumption by the Allied countries. In order to
provide for new products and such products as naphthol A. S., the
provision was further modified. Group I includes intermediates used
in dye making. Orders were passed without restriction at the lowest
price of the German factories, provided that the products be used
only for dyeing and printing and not reexported. Group II includes
products specially employed in dyeing or printing. Option is ac-
corded at prices provided for by the treaty up to 25 per cent of
production, and quantities in excess can be ordered at the lowest
price quoted by Germany in the country placing the order.
Shortly after the treaty came into force the Reparation Commission organized
a bureau for dyestuffs and pharmaceutical products which works in liaison with
the Allied expert committee, while Germany created at Frankfort a service
(Zentrale der Farbstoff Fabriken, under the direction of Herr Muehlen), in touch
with the German expert committee. Since the Reparation Commission allots
dyes as a general rule only to Allied Governments or to agencies specifically
appointed for this purpose by the Governments, France and Italy each set up a
"Union des Producteurs et Consommateurs de Matieres Colorantes" for the receipt
and distribution of reparation dyes. Great Britain appointed first of all the
Central Importing Agency and later the British Dyestuffs Corporation. The
Belgian Government itself receives and distributes its dyestuffs. The United
States gave a mandate to the Textile Alliance (Inc.) of New York, but withdrew
the mandate on the 14th December, 1921, without replacing the Textile Alliance.
Nevertheless, the commission at that time decided, in consideration of the require-
ments of the United States industry and in the absence of objection from the
United States Government, to continue to deliver to the Textile Alliance the
portion previously assigned to the United States. On the 29th November, 1922,
the Textile Alliance informed the commission that it renounced any right to order
reparation dyes, and the share of the United States was then distributed between
Great Britain, France, Italy, and Belgium.
The Frankfort Zentrale draws up every month lists indicating, in the case of each
product manufactured in Germany during the preceding month, 25 per cent of
the production and the lowest current price. These lists are immediately com-
municated by the dyestuffs bureau to the different Governments, which have
30 days in which to forward their orders up to the amount of their percentages
to the Zentrale at Frankfort. After 30 clays the dyestuffs bureau draws up a
new list indicating the quantities still available. This list is immediately com-
municated to the Allied Governments, who have a further period of 30 days within
which to forward to the bureau their orders for these balances. The balances are
distributed a first time in proportion to the orders received on the tenth day and
then later distributed in accordance with the orders without regard to percentages.
Quantities not ordered within the total period of 60 days remain at the disposal
of Germany. Orders for the 25 per cent of the daily German production must be
carried out by Germany within three weeks except in the case of "force majeure."
An invoice accompanies each consignment, and the amount, after conversion into
gold marks, is then credited to Germany and debited to the receiving country on
reparation account. As regards the United States, which has no reparation
account, payments were made in dollars to the commission by the receiving
agency. The same method was adopted for the dyes sold directly to the Textile
Alliance.
Certain Allied countries were put to inconvenience through the reexportation
of dyestuffs made by other Allied countries, and requested the commission to
take steps to prevent such reexports. The attitude of the commission was defined
in a letter addressed to the delegations of all the interested countries, the gist of
which is contained in the two following extracts :
Dyes received subsequent to August 9, 1921:
It is definitely understood that such dyes are ordered for domestic consumption
and are not to be reexported to countries receiving dyes through the medium of
the Reparation Commission. In distributing these dyes to domestic consumers
the receiving countries are expected to bring home this understanding to purchasers
in such a way as to make it practically effective.
164
UNITED STATES TARIFF COMMISSION
Dyes delivered before August, 1921:
If practicable, the commission would be desirous of having the'same restric-
tions as to reexportation of these dyes as are adopted for the dyes delivered since
August. As regards dyes ordered under the supplementary agreement of the
19th August, 1921, or its amendment, the question of reexportation was regulated
by article 4 of the former.
The deliveries of the dyes by the commission to the various coun-
tries up to December 31, 1922, are given below:

PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS
The questions involved in the case of pharmaceutical products
were intrusted to a subcommittee of experts. At the first meeting,
held September 12, 1919, the United States, Great Britain, France,
Italy, and Belgium were represented. The German experts suggested
September 20, 1919, as the date on which inventories should be taken
of stocks on hand, and this date was agreed upon. The French and
Belgian experts desired prompt exercise of the option, in view of the
needs of pharmaceuticals in their countries. The United States and
British experts stood for a compliance with legal limitation of the
treaty, whereby the option could be exercised only by the commis-
sion itself, i. e., after .the treaty came into force.
INTERNATIONAL DYE TRADE 165
On December 9, 1919, Germany reported the inventories of pharma-
ceuticals, and the experts met on January 5 to 10 for their examina-
tion. It was found that the quantities were too low for certain
products and that other products covered by the treaty were not
listed.
As a result of a discussion on January 30, 1920, and the explanations
offered, the German inventories were accepted "en bloc," to which
stocks of certain products were to be added. In the case of codeine
and cocaine, only half of their stocks were declared, as it was not
proved that the patents covering their synthesis were being operated.
Synthetic pharmaceuticals were defined as "all organic products
which are not natural or which are not obtained by simple extraction
from a natural product and which are employed in therapeutics."
After the treaty came into force pharmaceuticals were dealt with
in the same manner as dyes. A distribution organization for phar-
maceutical products was maintained at Frankfort, Germany.
Agreement was made on April 9, 1920, for the distribution of phar-
maceuticals on the basis of pre-war imports, and on April 12 the
Allied and German experts signed a protocol governing the delivery
of 50 per cent of the stocks.
The deliveries were modified as a result of the abandonment of their
respective shares by the United States and Great Britain and of a
request of Japan to participate. Percentages were allotted to France,
Italy, and Belgium, and Japan received a small fixed amount. On
August 28, 1920, the option on stocks was exercised, the total deliv-
eries amounting to 93,776 kilos (92 tons).
It was decided, in agreement with Germany, to exercise the option on the
daily production in a manner which differed slightly from that stipulated in the
treaty; it was agreed that Germany should forward monthly to the commission
a list of the quantities manufactured in the course of the preceding month and
that orders for 25 per cent of this production should be forwarded immediately.
The protocol of October 19, 1920, governs these deliveries:
Paris, October 19, 1920.
PROTOCOL FOR THE DELIVERY OF PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS
The German Government, in execution of paragraph 2, Annex VI, Part VIII of
the treaty of Versailles, undertakes to deliver to the Reparation Commission
any synthetic pharmaceutical products and salts of quinine up to an amount not
exceeding 25 per cent of the German production manufactured from July 1, 1920,
onward.
The production of cocaine and codeine, however, will be delivered only up to
an amount of 12.5 per cent of the total production of these products.
The prices at which these products shall be delivered shall in principle be the
lowest net selling price at which these products have been quoted 14 during the
month of their production to any other purchaser (German or otherwise). The
Reparation Commission, however, reserves the right to fix the prices, accord-
ing to the provisions of paragraph 3, Annex VI, Part VIII of the treaty of Ver-
sailles, if it considers that the prices charged by Germany are excessive.
These deliveries will be credited to Germany in the reparation account.
The present agreement, until revoked or modified by the Reparation Com-
mission, will govern all future deliveries of pharmaceutical products under the
provisions of the treaty above quoted.
It is understood that in making the present agreement the Reparation Com-
mission reserves all the rights conferred upon it by the treaty of Versailles.

Rumania, the Serb- Croat-Slovene State, and Greece receive phar-
maceutical products drawn from the quantities of which the other
countries do not avail themselves, quantities which are relatively
important in the aggregate owing to the development of the phar-
maceutical industry in France and in Italy.
Rumania, the Serb- Croat-Slovene State, and Greece, in particular,,
urgently requested the delivery of salts of quinine and, the German
manufacture of this product having greatly declined since the war,
several special agreements were made for the delivery of a total
quantity of over 56 tons.
The table below shows the deliveries of pharmaceutical products
made to the different countries up to December 31, 1922:
