discussing the situation of the cotton
mill operatives in that state and de-
vising ways and means to furnish en-
pIoyment for those who will be thrown
out of work by strikes and lockouts.
1t was stated by a representative that
a number of southern capitalists were
DESTROYS of building up the cotton spin
ming industry of the south and that
sufficient capital would be forthcoming
if the skilled labor of the east would go
there and work on a system of profit
sharing.
1t was further stated that higher
grades of goods could be manufactured
in the south az successfully as in the
north and that the wages to be paid
would equal, if not exceed. those paid
in the east. A certain town in the
south would give land sufficient for
large factory and would furnish $4,000
cash and would guarantee stock sub
seriptiOns to the amount of s100, 600. The
committee instructed the officers of the
board TO investigate the matter and re-
port at once as to the advisability of
sending a committee south to look into
the matter.
The committee then voted to organ
ize the hosting and portable engineers
