SILK INDUSTRY FEARS
A SHORTAGE OF DYES
Association Asks Members to
Encourage Use Of Light
COlOrs.

The increasing seriousness of the dye
situation has caused the SILK Associa-
ton OF America to send a letter to its
members urging them to be careful In
assuming guarantees for delivery OF
dark goods and to encourage the use
Of light colors.
"Deluge your Congressman with re-
quests for immediate relief and pro.
lection for an American dye industry"
the letter continues. Your committee
on dyestuns is and has been striving
it's utImost to alleviate the perilous rom
d!t.on without seeing any immediate
result The embargo on logwood which
has just been announced adds another
appalling menace to the market.
You are again urged to use great
caution and TO he prepared for any
emergency, as the dyestuff situation
may at any time cause a catastrophe
to the silk industry and put It's more
than 100000 operatives out OF work"
SILK men yesterday said that the SIT
uation in the mills depends altogether
on the dictates Of fashion aH regards
colors. Just at present the demand Is
for dark colors, which are also the
hardest to supply. Logwood is used
altogether In the production OF the
darker dyes.
