KICK AGAINST PRICE:

"ounces Gambling in Sta

ing in the South.

I.enox. Mass September 3o.-When
President Herbert z. Walmsley. of New
Bedford. today called to order the semi
annual meeting of the New ENGLAND
Cotton Manufa cturers' Association nearly
200 members We're present. The princi-
pal item of a routine was the presenta-
ton of the address of the president The
eecretary and treasurer do not report at
this session. In his address President
Walmsley urged the young men in the
association to come TO the front and
assume their share in the work OF the
association He referred to the unsat-
isfactory condition Of the cotton trade at
the present time and said the last few
months had been one of the most dlfn-
cult periods ever experienced
The prevailing quiethde in tho trade,
he said. has undoubtedly been intensi-
fed by the raw material situation.
1T is q deplorable circumstance that
the pernicious practice of cornering such
a necessary staple as cotton should be
possible, dcmoraIizing and paralyzing for
the time being an industry OF such Inn
mense wealth to the nation as that of
cotton manufacturing, throwing out of
employment and reducing to the Verge
of starvation the thousands of families
whose very existence is dependent upon
the continued and steady operation Of
the factory where they find employment.
The baneful influence Of this speculative
manipulation of cotton IS a matter for
serious concern and for which there
can be no justification whatsoever.
THE force of these considerations
should surely be sufficient to justify some
concerted and united action towards put
ting a stop TO the gambling operations
which inflict such Widespread suffering
and injury upon 50 many and such i'm
portant interests.
In referring to cotton manufacturing in
the south Mr.. Walmsley said;
I'VE warmly congratulate the south on
the great development of its natural
and industrial resources. There is surely
ample room for both north and south.
The supremacy of cotton manufacturing
in New England. in my opinion, will
continue to be unassailable.''
Following the presidents address pa
pers We're read on various technical
subjects.
A motion was made requesting repre-
sentatives at Washington to give all pos
sible information regarding the need of
foreign countries in the cotton market.
This Is understood to Indicate that the
New England manufacturers will pay
more attention than hitherto to the ex-
portation of cotton goods
1t was voted that any member of the
association may on the payment Of 500
be exempt from all future dues. The af-
ternoon was devoted to drives to points
of interest near IyenOX
