PRODUCTION TO
Be CURTAILED

CHARLOTTE, N. c., March IS
Further drastic curtailment in pro-
duction by the southern soft and hard
yarn spinning mills generally in the
early future was predicted today by
Robert Chapman, of Cheraw, S. c.,
president of the Southern Consolidat-
ed Yarn Spinners' association, follow
ing meeting here of the executive
committee of the organization.
Summarizing the present situation,
Mr.. Chapman declared that the yarn
spinners realize that curtailment of
production is inevitable unless there
is a radical change in the market con-
ditions and that is not an immediate
prospect"
Most of the mills are now running
three and four days a week, a small
number are completely idle. while an
other small number are running full
time, practically all of them on
hopes, with very few sales" said Mr..
Chapman, adding that all night work
has been eliminated long since.
The situation outlined, Mr.. Chap
man explained, is the basis of his
prediction Of more drastic curtaiI-
ment of production in the near future
