WILL CLOSE MILLS
Hosiery Yarn Spinners to
Curtail Output.
The Object is 10 Raise the Price Of Hosiery
Yam. The Association Met at
Charlotte.
Especial to the News and Observer }

Especial to the News and Observer
Charlotte, N. c., July IA called
meeting of the Southern Hosiery Yarn
Spiners' Association convened in this
city this afternoon. The boiect of the
meeting was to arrive at some agreement
as to the best methods to employ to raise
the price of hosiery yarn. The manu-
facturers claim that at the present price
of cotton and the marketable value of
as a matter of protection, something has
to be done at once.
After a lengthy discussion it was de-
cided that a curtailment of products was
about the only means by which a better
condition of the yarn market could be
brought about While many of the manu-
facturers dislike very much to close down
of which they are members, think this
the only way out of the trouble. prom
inent hosiery manufacturer said to your
correspondent tonight that the mills were
short on cotton and if they continued to
run they would of necessity have to pur-
chase the raw material at the present
high prices and be forced to dispose of
the manufactured products at the pres
ent low price of yarns.
On the whole, the meeting today was
most important one and the decision
reached will effect many mills in North
Carolina as well as other Southern States.
