HOLD MASS MEETING.
Strong opposition TO the proposals
OF the Zoning Commission was ex-
pressed at a mass meeting held by the
association last night In conjunction
with the members OF the Zoning Com
mission at the Elizabeth v. Brown
School. near the Circle.
Instead OF assigning the whole of
Connecticut avenue from Cleveland
Park TO Chevy Chase Circle and Pat
terson street from the circle eastward
for use as a commercial district. the
committee requested that the COM
mercisl district in Chevy Chase be
limited to that portion OF the squares

nue. anu DouHucu py NOTtHAIHptou
street on the north and by Morrison
street on the south. They urged that
no commercial district whatever be
created on Patterson street.
1t is believed that the extension of
the commercial area in this district
will result in material depreciation OF
residential property.
The committee also urged the
coming commission to make the fol-
lowing restrictions effective with
reference to area and buildings In
Chevy Chase territory:
First, that no apartment house
shall be constructed in Chevy Chase.
That hereafter no rows of houses
shall be built. and that no semi-de-
tached or twin houses shall be con-
structed upon a lot with not less than
fifty feet frontage and ten feet or

COTTON
TRADE WRECKED
Only Small Percentage of
Factories Now Able
to Run

LONDON, Sept 2.--Russlas great
prc-war cotton industry has suffered
to such an extent during the rovolu-
tion that 1t Is doubtful whether
many of the mills ever viii be able
to operate again, says Sir Charles
Macara, an English authority In tho
worlds cotton trade. in an inter-
view In the Yorkshire Post
Based upon information obtained
from an Englishman who recently
returned from Russia, where for IA
years he was the manager OF a large
cotton factory near Moscow, Sir
Charles estimates that of the 0,00O.-
600 spmdlcs running I'm Russia be-
fore the revolution not more than
100000 or 100000 are now opcr-
nting.
The experiences OF the English
manager OF the Moscow factory were
told as ah example of the methods
employed by revolutionists in dealing
with one OF ltussia's great Industrial
assets, the textile factories In the
MOSCOW district This particular
mill carried on all the processes
from cotton spinning TO the finished
product, 1900 workers having been
employed under normal operating
conditions.
when the bolshcvikl assumed con-
troll the whole cotton industry was
nationalt2cd At every mill commit
toes were formed and finally, in
october, 1919, n decree was issued
that all who had been connected with
tho former owners would have to
leave. with the experts gone. the
mill stopped. After time attcmpts
were made to rC-start II. but it was
almost impossible to obtain raw cot
ton. Small quantities were obtained,
which after being diluted with rs
per cent waste, was put through the
processes.
The machinery now Is in n very
bad state, In such n state, In fact.
mat IT would be almost impossible
To operate the factory properly, ac-
rording to the Information given Sir
charles. Whenever machines are
damaged, other machines are de-
nudcd of parts to repair them.
Sir Charles stated that there was
little possibility OF English work
mon going To Russia for cmploymcnt
In textile factories. Mills in Ger
many and Austria were turning out
only from 20 to 30 per cent OF the
normal production, he said, and
English workers faced the alnosf
, impossible task of making up for
tn" four and half years stoppagc
or t"Nthc manufacture owing to the
war.
