Claiming to represent 70,000 manufacturers throughout the land, they met, cocktailed, dined and elucidated their tenets of sound economics. Im-pressed by the resounding title of Congress of American Industry, metropolitan editors sent newshawks scurrying to the Waldorf-Astoria to record economic history in the making.
