TO Curtail
Production

Boston Mass, March THE prin-
clpal cotton manufacturers of New
England have decided to curtail
normal production for the next
three months at least 25 per cent.
The demand for cotton goods has
been carefully inquired into and
many say such a curtailment is
necessary to avoid over production.
Mill men believe they will be able to
keep the supply down to what will
be needed in that line and to avoid
depressing and difficulty of selling
goods which in the past have re-
suited from surplus stocks on hands
in times like this. Any other course,
they say, must mean in the end a
lengthy shut down.
