More Yarn Fabrics
Likely To Be Sought
Trade Editor Considers More
Care in Cotton Production
Necessary

In reviewing the development of the
week in the cotton situation for The
Tribune, the editor of "The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter" yesterday
said:
"Predictions as to the developments
for staple cotton are now being real
ized, and buyers. together with manu-
facturers, must understand thoroughly
what the trend in the market indicates
for the future. Almost every one has
expected that the need for staple cot
ton would become less under great
pressure, such as now exists, but few
anticipated that the change would be so
great or the possibilities of the future
so serious. 1t may be we'll to mention
few of the important features. In
the first place, the demand for tire
yarns and fabrics has been smaller
than it was, due to the smaller pro-
duction of pleasure automobiles and
also to the fact that stocks of such
fabrics and yarns have been built up to
1ather satisfactory amounts. In addi-
tlon, the demand for high fabrics has
declined-not because buyers do not
consider such goods attractive, but
rather that they have not cared to pay
the price. Relatively the price for
staple cotton is lower than that for
ordinary cotton, and. if anything, the
margin of difference is likely to become
less than it is at present.
1T is only question OF time when
reasonably fine yarn fabrics will be-
come desirable. 1t is not so much the
situation at present. but rather the
possibilities of the future which arouse
interest. Having the price of ordinary
cotton at exceedingly high levels, or,
say, continuance of the price noted
at present for a number Of years,
would tend to make growers lack in
terest in the production of staple cot
ton. More labor and care arc neces-
sary in raising staple cotton, and labor
is one of the most precious commodi-
ties to-day, so that d shortage in this
direction will seriously affect the pro-
duction of such cotton. Any increase in
the labor supply will certainly go tow
ard the raising Of ordinary cotton if
/ the price remains high. In normal
periods the supply of staple cotton has
not seemed excessive; that is, if the
staple was not used for one purpose it
was used for something else"

Harbor Strike
Is Menace Unless
u. S. Board Acts
Boatmen, Engineers and
Longshoremen Told To Be-
Ready for Walkout

"Be prepared to strike Tuesday
morning" is the substance Of orders
issued to harbor boatmen, tidewate,
boatmen, lightermen, hosting engi.
neers and longshoremen by their sew.
eral unions yesterday. Whether the
order to strike will be issued, Paul A
Vacarelli, international president
of the Longshoremen's Union, sale
yesterday, depends on the response the
National Adjustment Commission OF
the United States Shipping Boarc
makes to the request to intervene
1.-THE Marine Affiliation, made UP OF
the various unions doing marine work
in this port" said he, "has full power
in the premises. 1t meets Monday
afternoon and is prepared to order the
strike. This order will not be issued
II IN the meantime the National Ad-
justment Commission acts If it does
not act, l know Of nothing that can
prevent strike.
Says Situation Is Serious
AHIo olIudClon is now serious
Somebody, or several somebodies, has
succeeded in creating a situation which
the Germans offered millions to create
and failed to get results. The men
were loyal then, they are loyal now
They cannot be blamed for strike if
one comes"
The chief grievance of the men is
the action of the local wage adjust
ment board in postponing considera-
ton OF requests for changes in wages
and hours of work until October. The
strike ordered for Mai III was sub
sequently postponed until March Id
the award made last November was
enforced the new demands would be
considered. postponement of action
until fall, they assert, is a violation
OF this understanding.
THIS action by the local board of
which Captain William B. Baker is
chairman, is understood to have the
approval Of T. V. O'Connor, interna-
tional president of the Longshore-
mems Union. O'Connor has declared
ne VIII not permit a strike-but there
is doubt as TO his power in this re-
spect.
At recent meetings O'Connor has
been bitterly assailed, apparently
with the full approval of those pres.
ent. At mass meeting in Brooklvn

Longshoremen's District Council. said
Yesterday that his organization had
voted to strike if need be. ''|'''
The men, said he, "have reached
that stage where they will act if OH y
ers do not. Their patience has simn1v
been exhausted. So far as the leaders
are concerned they have worked
wonders in holding them back as lone
as as they have, but there is limit to
what they can do. 1t has now reach al
that stage where the leaders will have
to get into line with the men or he

the slight relief thus far experienced

tinues, and foodstuffs other than meats
are cheaper and more plentiful.
Labor is wellnigh surfeited with
work; the shortage is becoming more
and more marked, while promising to
be further accentuated when additional
men leave for military camps within a
few days, and demands for higher and
higher wages are widespread. Munitions
plants are being extended. additional
machine shops are being erected and
the snipbuloing industry is constantly
undergoing enlargement. Consequently
labor commands record wages, and
thus the spending power of this class
has been greatly increased, but at the
same time The point also is made that
prices for wearablc articles have be-
come almost prohibtive to some sal

Business Conditions Continue

Activity in trade has generally be-
