officers during February. One bat

lack Of DYESTUFFS
BLOW TO INDUSTRY
Textile Mills Facing Disaster
Owing to British Embargo
on German Exports.

Representatives of American textile
manufacturers, headed by former Rep
resentative Metz, told White House and
State Department officials today that
''the end is in sight" for operations OF
American textile mills unless the gov
ernment can do something to bring
dyestuffs out of Germany.
They were assured by Secretary
Tumulty and Counselor Lansing that
the question would be taken up for fur
ther effort. The manufacturers told Of
f1cials that the supply of dyestuffs in
the United States was now practically
exhausted and that unless more could
be imported many mill operatives
would lose their Jobs. or have their
earning capacity greatly reduced.
Present Mass Of Figures.
Daniel F. Waters. president of the
Master Dyers' Association: Charles e.
Leippe. president of the National AS
ISOLATION Of Hosiery and Underwear
Manufacturers; former Representative
Metz of New York and several others
laid mass of figures before Mr..
Lansing and Mr.. Tumulty to show the
threatened serious effects on indus
tries which use dyestuffs.
The committee declared that they
had been in communication with man
ufacturers in twenty eight states and
had found that mills employing 100000
operatives would face being closed
within thirty to sixty days unless re-
lief comes They declared that other
mills which ultimately would feel the
need OF German dyestuffs will have to
throw many other men out of work.
Members of the committee declared that
efforts to produce dyestuffs in the United
States can be of no practical value for
some time. They said that they had con-
ferred yesterday with Thomas A. Edison,
who has been experimenting with dye
stuff inventions. and he had said that it
would be impossible to manufacture dye
stuffs on large scale in the United States
