The flusic Trade Convention,
WHAT THE MEETING BY THE SEA RESULTED IN THE FORMATION OF AN ASSOCIATION KNOWN
AS THE NATIONAL PIANO MANUFACTURERS' ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA HENRY F.
MILLER, PRESIDENT THE OFFICES DISTRIBUTED EAST AND WEST A
DEARTH OF WESTERN MEN AT THE CONVENTION, WHILE THE EAST
WAS WELL REPRESENTED—MEMBERS CONFIDENT OF THE
SUCCESS OF THE ORGANIZATION—THE BANQUET.
REMARKS BY ALL THE TRADE EDITORS.
Last Wednesday afternoon there was alus-
ty trade youngster born at Manhattan Beach
The infant is quite promising and with
proper trade sustenance and support may
branch out into a national character destin-
ed to exercise tremendous effect upon the
future of the music trade industries of
America. The infant is in charge of com-
petent authorities who undoubtedly will
exercise considerable care to see that the
proper nourishment is provided.
The youngster was given the long sound-
ing title of the National Piano Manufac-
turers' Association of America. The title
is long and weighty, but those present at
the christening think that he will be able
to sustain it with dignity.
The long talked of Music Trade Conven-
tion was held at Manhattan Beach, last
Wednesday, and resulted in the formation
of the National Piano Manufacturers' As-
sociation of America. Henry F. Miller,
Boston, was elected president; A. H.
Fischer, New York, first vice president;
Handel Pond, Boston, second vice presi-
dent; Geo. P. Bent, Chicago, treasurer;
Robt. C. Kammerer, New York, secretary.
Executive committee: Nahum Stetson,
chairman; Louis P. Bach, Robt. A. Widen-
raann, New York; Theo. Brown, Worcester,
Mass.; Geo. F. Blake, Boston; and Chas.
M. vStieff, Baltimore. The initiation fee
was fixed at $25.00, and the annual dues
the same. It was decided that the next
annual meeting will be held in Boston the
second Wednesday in June, 1898.
Promptly at 9 o'clock the members of the
local association together with the visiting
trade left the Murray Hill Hotel and took
a special train for Manhattan Beach.
Shortly after reaching there a morning
session was held at which a number of
matters were discussed.
About sixty members were present, re-
presenting#a large proportion of the East-
ern trade. It was expected that a greater
numberwould.be represented, as a num-
ber of manufacturers failed to appear who
had subscribed themselves as favoring the
idea of a National Association and express-
ing a willingness to meet the members of
their craft and discuss the matter in con-
vention.
It was almost a sectional meeting, the
great West being represented by only two
manufacturers—Geo. P. Bent, Chicago,
and C. M. Anderson, of Van Wert, Ohio.
Whether or not the manufacturers of the
West will become identified with the asso-
ciation, now that the national organization
has been perfected, remains to be demon-
strated.
One thing is certain, that the New York
manufacturers could not be accused of de-
$3.00 PER YEAR.

York the secretaryship. Such a broad feel-
ing of nationalism must surely inspire
those who have held back from participat-
ing in organization work that the promoters
wish to make the organization national in
scope, and not limited in any particular
area or controlled in its influences by the
men from any particular section.
Henry F. Miller, the president of the
national organization, is also president of
the Boston Music Trade Association. Mr.
Miller takes an interest in association work
and will exert his influence to the end that
the interests of piano manufacturers shall
be promoted in every way.
The business of the Convention absorbed
the time of the delegates until just previous
to the dinner hour. It was necessary to
have two or three intermissions, in which
the nominating committee and the com-
mittee on by-laws and constitution should
be afforded sufficient time to discuss the
matters which they were delegated to con-
sider and report to the Convention.
It seems that some members of the trade
press considered it an affront to their pro-
fession that they were not invited to attend
the several business deliberations of the
day.
It was decided by vote that the conven-
tion should be held without representatives
of the press being invited to be present.
In this the manufacturers exercised only
their right and privilege, and it seems to
us ridiculous for a newspaper representa-
tive to assume that it is an insult to his
profession that he is not invited to be pres-
ent at a manufacturers' conference. In the
first place we assumed from our invitation
that it was only to the dinner that The Re-
view was invited.
A further bitterness was created by the
remarks made by one of the speakers at
the convention, which, in a manner, re-
flected upon the trade papers as a whole.

siring to have things entirely their way,
and the officers and executive committee
chosen showed that the nominating com-
mittee was actuated in no way by the spirit
of sectionalism. The selection of officers
of the association extends from the Atlan-
tic to the great lakes. Boston has the pres-
idency, Chicago the treasuryship, New
