President of Association Says Each
Must Look Out For Himself.
Mr.. S. B. Tanner, president Of the
American Cotton Manufacturers asso-
citation, has sent out the following let
ter:
December IL. 1907.
To the Members of the American Cot
ton Manufacturers Association:
Gentlemen: have had a number OF
requests to call meeting OF the asso-
citation for the purpose Of arranging 9
curtailment in production until such
time as the trade will again take the
output Of the mills, but upon making
inquiry / find 1t will be impossible tc
get any concert Of action at this time
for the reason that some Of the mills
are sold ahead to dates ranging from
January to July, while others are prac-
tically up with their orders now ano
some few have small accumulations
Consequently, the management OF each
mill will be compelled to use Its own
judgment in regard to restricting pro-
duction.
1t will no doubt be much better fol-
each mill to restrict its own output to
the actual demand for its particular
product. as there are always sharks
in the trade looking out for accumu-
lations, and especially distressed
stocks which they can get at prices
below the cost of production, and, un-
fortunately, such prices are used as a
basis for future sales: consequently II
Is a serious matter for each mill To
decide.
For example. a mill may have sur
plus and spend 1t all in piling up goods
for which Ii has no orders, and thereby
depress prices, feeling justified in DO,
ing so, in order to hold It's help ana
organization together. The mills WIN
out any surplus, and probably IN dept'
try to keep running for the same rea-
son which really puts them further in
debt and, taken altogether. postpones
the time when the demand Will con-
sumo the supply at fair profit, while
every transaction could be made at
fair profit II the cotton manufacturers
were as cooperative In their methods
as the iron manufacturers, whose de-
mands for iron have dropped off 40
per cent and they have reduced their
OUTPUT in proportion; or we might ben
eft by the farmers business methods.
Although he has been considered
very Indifferent business man, as com
pared with manufacturers, merchants
and bankers. yet he has stood the
panic better than any Of them, and has
absolutely refused to do business at a
loss. while nearly all other lines OF
business have resorted to unusual
methods and in many cases have sus-
tained severe losses in order to keep
running.

proper officials that there Is no such
trouble at present, nor is 1t expected.
The meeting in Columbia on the 18TH,
he SAYS, was called off to prevent the
union from endorsing a paper edited
by one L. A. Watson. In speaking
further of the matter he said: 1t Is
claimed that Watson got the endorse
ment of Secretary Earle to call the
meeting in Columbia on the 18th. anu
that his aim in doing this was to nave
the union endorse his paper as their
official organ, which honor he has been
claiming for it all along. Watson Is
said to be western horse trader. VINO.

other prominent officials of the union.
