u. $. Auto Makers Seek
Lower Tariff Schedule
Representatives Urge New Com
nerc;al Treaties With
Foreign Nations

Automobile manufacturers of the
United States, represented by their
export managers in convention here
Yesterday at the National Automobile
Chamber Of Commerce, declared for
lower tariff schedules on American
cars and new commercial treaties
which would work greater reciprocity
between this and foreign nations. A
resolution embodying the recommcnda-
tions was adopted and viii be pre-
sontod at the next session of Con-
grcss
This action, the manufacturers say,
is due to the fact that they believe
the American automobile industry
should reciprocate with similar indus
tries II other countries The result.
it was agreed. would serve considerably
to advance his country's foreign trade
IN cars and trucks which has been
constantly on the increase since the
signing of the aimistice.
1t was brought out at the meeting
that automotiVe products exported from
this country the last fiscal year ox-
ceeded $224 100000 in value. TIE fr-
ures represent total of 129.875 cars
and trucks sent to eighty-one countries
IN that period.

Failure to Establish Price
Basis for Raw Wool Con-
tributes to Unsettled Situ-
alton; Good Business in
WOmen's Wear

With business in wooden and worsted
goods for spring showing little or no
improvements over the disappointing
outlook which has marked operations
SO far, manufacturers are finding many
difficulties ahead in preparing for next
fall. Preparations are under way in
many mills for getting out fabrics for
the autumn trade.
Although unable to forcsee probable
business conditions of the season, they
the present season, but they fear their
troubles will be increased when they
come to naming prices at the opening
OF llnes IN January. Just at present
the nominal prices for raw wool are
considered much higher than those
which will prevail as soon as buying
on large scale gets under way, but
manufacturers are unable to estimate
with any degree Of certainty what the
drop will be and, therefore, are handi
capped in figuring on the probable cost
OF fabrics for next autumn and winter.
The uncertainty of the spring sea-
son, moreover, is contributing to the
pesslnlstic outlook for autumn, al
though the larger factors are confident
that conditions viii improve.
l'hNScit utiSttlicI situation is
laid to lack of buying in mems wear,
which has slowed up business in this
branch Of the cloth trade. Women's
wear fabrics are moving in such large
quantities that manufacturers are en-
couraged to believe that the return TO
normal is well advanced. One of the
largest distributors in the, trade has
reduced prices on goods in stock to a
parity with quotations for next spring
and IS doing more business than in
months. Although ordinarily this i'm
provement in women's wear fabrics
might be expected to help mems wear,
r is feared that conditions in the mon s
retail clothing trade are too uncertain
at present.
December ] has been decided upon
as the date for starting cutting up
garments for the spring season in
the submanufacturing coat, and suit
industry, 1T was announced yesterday.
This delay was decided upon as step
toward stabilization.

Uncertainty of Spring Season
Delaying Plans for Next Fall
Opening, Not Closing,
Mills, Asserts Wood

William M. Wood, president Of
the American Woolen Company,
yesterday denied the extremely
pessimistic reports about plans
of the concern which have been
circulating in textile circles in
this city. 1t had been rumored
that the company would shut
down its woolen mills and cancel
orders booked for the spring be-
cause of the small demand for
goods.
Mr.. Wood, in reply to inquiries
from The Tribune, sent this tele-
gram: "There is no truth in the
rumors. You note we are OPEN
ing our mills and not closing
them, except over Columbus holi-
days"
