EXPOSES FIRMS THAT
SELL COTTON FOR SILK
Cheney Urges Legislation to
Stop Violation Of Indus
try's Moral Law.

PATERSON. N. J., Oct. 14.-Horace r.
Cheney. head of Cheney Bros. the silk
firm. speaking before 500 delegates OF
the national silk convention here to-day.
attacked by name a number Of concerns
which he said were advertising and sell
ing mercerizcd cotton and artificial
silk" as pure silk. and urged that legts-
letion be sought which would put a
stop to such violations Of the moral
law Of the silk industry"
Among the firms which ne said were
Extensively advertising fabrics Of cot
ton or mercerized silk as pure silk
Mr.. Cheney mentioned by name one
Philadelphia concern which he said was
selling a certain kind of goods as "or-
iginal guaranteed-silk." These goods,
he said. have no silk in them whatever
but are made with n cotton warp with
an artificial silk films.
Another nrm. he said. sold silk pop
lin rubberized rainccats'' which are
made entirely OF cotton. He men,
toned n number Of other articles on the
market. including sweaters and hosiery
made OF mercerized cotton or artificial
silk but sold AZ silk. Two brands OF
advertised sewing silk. he said, were
both mercerized cotton.
Similar misleading advertisements. he
said. were sent out with regard to dyes
and dyed goods in which dye waste
and metallic Ingredients were used.
The address evidently took the dele
gates by surprise and started n general
discussion. Members OF the convention
predicted that Mr.. Cheney's attacks on
the various firms he named would prove
to be an opening wedge for a campaign
for a full investigation Of the silk in
dustry and the enactment OF laws to
protect the public against INSCRIPTIONS
representations. The silk Association
OF America, the national body. and seven
silk associations of Paterson are ex-
pected to take the lead in urging this
action.
The executive committee Of the ma
tlonal association has arranged for hold
ing next years convention at Strouds-
burg. Pa. in October.
