cotton goods was materially curtailed
during the first part of the year, but
refute the implication that outputs
were wifully decreased for the purpose
of creating a shortage OF merchandise
with the resultant increase in prices.
The under production is attributed
by majority to the unrest among
labor. Strikes, lowering of weekly work
ing scales, the tendency to minimize
the hours of labor and other similar
alleged attitudes on the part of cotton
mill employees is pointed out as being
the chief factor in the reduced pro-
duction.
On the other hand, there are some
mill representatives who assert that
because of the uncertain business con-
ditions during the first few months of
1919 they were not justified in normal
output, and for that reason number
of spndles in the mills were idle.
Exception was made by many manu-
facturers to the construction of the
statement that "the cotton industry
kept more spindles idle during the first
five months of 1919 than were idle dur
ing the corresponding period of 1919
They do not attempt to deny the truth
of the comparison, but vehemently OBJ
jcct to the application Of the word
kept" declaring that it bellies the
truth of the situation in that it implies
an effort on their part to restrict pro-
duction so that the demand would
boost prices
Labor Shortage Blamed
r. T. Godfrey, vice president Of the
Warner-Godfrey Company, one of the
largest converters Of cotton goods in
the industry, in a discussion of the
report by the Council of National De-
fence, said:
The shortage of labor is the re-
sponsible factor in under production.
Mills did not of their own volition
lower their outputs Dscord among
our employees in the way of strikes,
refusal to work the full quota of hours
to which they agreed and similar con-
ditions have brought US to-day where
we are so far behind on production
that We cannot say with any certainty
when deliveries will be made
"As an example of this condition, let
me cite the situation in our mill at
Philadelphia. There we have almost
500 looms installed. Now there are $50
Of those operating. Try as we may, We
simply cannot secure workers.
THE cry from all over the country
is for delivery. How can it be done when
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-08-31

we are unable to turn out the product.
The idea that mills deliberately throt-
tied production is the opposite from
the truth How can we do business if
we don't make goods? The implication
contained in the government report is
ridiculous"
Others referred 70 the control ex-
ercised by the Federal government over
production of cotton mills during the
first part of 1919 and held that to be a
factor contributing largely to the short
ages.
THE outlook for business during the
winter and first part of spring of this
year." c. A. Braman, Of A. D. Juilliard
& Co., said. was so uncertain and de-
void Of brightness, that We could not
have felt justified in maintaining our
mills at full working capacity"
Several manufacturers stated that
business as it existed during the first
of the year certainly did not justify q
large production

owing the cessation of hostilities, and
refused to place orders. Retailers of
apparel, manufacturing clothiers and
wool growers went to the government
and asked it to withhold its wool from
mills in order to give them chance
to unload their own stocks without a
loss. They believed that the general
public would curtail its purchases. an
ticipating lower prices.
Retail business, instead of slumpinp
off, moved forward rapidly and bv tho
end Of January and the first Of Febru-
airy an ctual shortage Of merchandise
for immediate use was apparent
The woollen mills sought q market
for their future production during the
latter part of last year and the first
of this, but were unable to find it. In.
stead Of being able to sell goods, they
were receiving wholesale cancellations
and were forced to close down because
of lack of orders.
Trade Grows Hystericai
In February a few of the holder mill
owners decided to seek n market and
offere goods for use during the fall
of 1919 at prices which buyers adj
mitted were less than they had ex-
pected. The demand from retailers
for more apparel had sent the garment
|
cloth and by March the desire for
cloth on their part had thrown tho
trade into an hysteria. The mills
forces had been scattered and short
age of labor developed. Then came
numerous strikes, a shortage Of yarns,
because the spinning mills had closed
down, a reduction Of working hours.
from fifty four to forty-eight a week
and other minor hinderances to full
production. All this time the price of
raw wool was held at definite figure
b. the minmums which the govern
nent had placed in it's auctions
ut is ridiculous to charge the wool
len men with deliberately closing their
mills said Mr.. Strong, when every
manutacturer of any commodity knows
that nothing raises costs so much as
idle machinery. All of us believed that
prices would drop. In seeking a mar
kct all Of US put out goods at low
prices. In my opinion the mills will
run at loss during September and
October We have increased wages
three times and decreased our working
hours once since orders for fall goods,
on which the mills arc now working
were taken. Does that look like prof
teering?"
Stagnation Up to March
WE. Melnhard attributed the low pro-
duction up to March to the stagnant
condition Of the selling market follow
ing the armistice period. when there
was no demand for goods, and the
present slow turnout of cloth to
strikes, shorter hours, lack of yarns
ard wool, freight embargoes because OF
railroad strikes and the inefficiency OF
labor
Mr.. Sanford also characterized the
charges as ridiculous, and said that the
woollen men individually and colec-
lively would welcome a real investiga
ton by the government. Our associa-
ton he said, lis in possession OF
documents showing exactly what hap
pened following the signing OF the
armistice. The mill owners might be
charged in the main with having
guessed future happenings wrong. The
vast majority of them did not see this

(By Official Reporter)

Evangelist Dunaway delivered q
powerful sermon last night at Lee
Street revival, using for a text
Matt 6 80 and Romans 14:17. The
topic, ''The Kingdom Within You or
'What Salvation Really Does for
You"
The word Kingdom" is used many
times in the New Testament and in
many different ways, sometimes It
means Heaven, sometimes it means
the church and sometimes it means
the future kingdom that Christ shall
set up in this world when he returns
to II, but in these passages 1t means
the Kingdom Of God within the heart,
said the Evanegist.
"God works from within, not from
without" said he. We are very
quick 70 declare that We believe in
the reformation and saving q world
By sanitation, hygiene, social seT-
ice. etc. but I declare unto you that
the only hope Of this world is this
Kingdom set up in the heart. It
taxes the Grace Of God TO regulate
the things about Us. It takes God
within TO make US as kind to the IN
fortunte as we are to the king pres
ident or some other great person. I
God within US gives US this correct /
life. Folks tell me all up and down
the land that there are not many
people riding on my wagon, but l
declare to you that God IS bigger !
than temper, disposition or any other
human degravity. Nothing short of
the Kingdom Of God viii regulate our /
lives, but thank God, this Kingdom |
set up in our souls regulates every |
thing. 1t viii regulate mans busi- |
ness, it viii clean out his home, it
will regulate dress, social life and
everything that needs regulating.
Also Brings Peace.

dainty proven by the Word of God
