New York, Aug. 29.-The cotton
market opening was somewhat irregu
lar, with first prices > points lower
to 13 higher, but generally firmer on
covering and bullish average due to late
private crop reports, the latest of which,
from Norman Mayer, of New Orleans,
gave the condition at 60.
After the opening, trade quieted down
and late months, which were strongest
at the outset, eased back to last nights
level by 10 10 o'clock.
The early bulge carried prices from
I to 10 points net higher. The bulk
of the buying was believed to be for
short account, however. and as soon as
it had been supplied prices turned easier
under renewed realizing.
This may have been promoted by the
easier opening Of sterling exchange. J,

ume of business was small and prob
ably represented the usual holiday ad

Clothing Industry to
Train Its New Employees
Plan Is Found Effective bv q
Big Plant at Pough-
keepSic

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. One impor-
tant lesson learned by American indus
tries from their war experience is that
scientific training is Of value in all
kinds of manufacturing During hostil
tiles the installation of vestibulc
schools was confined to machine opera
ton plants engaged directly in war
work, but since the signing Of the
armistice evidence is accumulatino that
manufacturers in many other lines
have seen the advantages of training
departments.
For example, the frst school Of the
kind ever to bc established in a cloth
ing factory In this country has lust
been put into q big plant in Pough-
keepsle, n. Y, which specializes in
making knickerbockcrs and trousers.
The project was undertaken on the rec
ommendaton of a field superintendent
OF the training service Of the United
States Department of Labor. who found
that 4o0 women and twenty-five men
were employed on work which involved
from twenty-five to thirty operations.
He suggested that certain machinery be
removed to separate room. in which
beginners could be taught how to per
torn the necessary tasks before enter
ing the shop proper. This was done.
and the new school is training opera
tlves, machnists, stock clerks and time
keepers.
Director Charles T. Clayton reports
that schools are to be opened soon in
textile factories. and that plans are
under consideration for their introduce
ton into factories for making pianos.

South Russia Will be infected by

them with machine guns. Then the

Radek assured His hearers that the
Bolsheviki would remain in control Of
the destinies OF Russia long after the

had been driven from their places.
He also declared that there had been
