'Industry, Which Has Not Felt Slump, Will Draw Up Code.

More than 200 manufacturers of dog foods, including prepared canned food, dog biscuit and other products, will meet at the Hotel Commodore Wednesday to act on a fair code of competition under which the industry will operate in accordance with the National Industrial Recovery Act and to ratify the details of organization of a national association for the industry. Preliminary steps in forming a trade group were completed here last week with the election of H.C. Clayburgh of the California Animal Products Company as president and adoption of National Association of Dog Food Manufacturers as a name.

The industry, which according to Mr. Clayburgh, does an annual volume of $80,000,000 to $90,000,000 has not suffered from the general business slump but has actually made substantial gains in both dollar and unit volume in the last three years. Sales in the last year, he said, increased 15 per cent in dollar volume in spite of a price reduction of 9 per cent, put into place by most dog food manufacturers.'
