News of the American Rubber Trade. 



WATERPROOF GARltENT ASSOCIATION. 



THE Waterproof Garment Manufacturers' Association has 

 been organized to include only firms local to New York 

 City, the purpose being the general promotion of trade 

 interests and the abolition of abuses. The movement grew out 

 of a strike among cloak and suit workers, but as it was con- 

 sidered that there was not enough in common between the 

 waterproof garment manufacturers and the cloak and suit ele- 

 ment, the latter were not admitted to the association. This 

 is intended to be a permanent organization, and meetings are to 

 be held monthly. The following firms compose the membership :
