DETROIT, December 23.-The last

in January will see the smallest
amount of activity in manufactur-
ing in this section that has been
recorded for year, but this slump

tory season and the holidays and not
to general business conditions. and
there are several new projects under

terially. Stockholders of the Paige

10000 Jewetts in 1922.

dered for 1922 being sufficient to take
care of all the mine production,
which aggregates 100000 tons.
The employment situation here is
approximately the same as 1t was

WOOLEN EMPLOYEES PAY
NOT TO BE CUT IN 1922
Company's Head Declares, How
ever, That Method of Other Mills
Is Great Obstacle.

LAWRENCE. Mass, December %
William NJ. Wood, president Of the
American Woolen Company, today au-
thirized the announcement TO employees
that their wages for the coming sea
son are not to be reduced" In a let
ter to the company's magazine. in which
the announcement appeared. however.
he took occasion to call attention to
what he termed an obstacle (which
threatens the maintenance of the pres
ent standard of wages in the American
Woolen Company" This obstacle. he
said, was the competition of certain
mills in other states than Massachu-
setts, where hours are longer than those
In the American Woolen Company and
where wages are less. This must oc-
cur to you." he added, "as an unfair
competition. and one that affects you
directly"
In his letter Mr. Wood called attention
to the fact that the company's mills
which were virtually shut down year
ago were running ito full capacity" at
present, adding. "Your attitude in real
izing the situation and accepting the
reduction in wages had much to do with
the happy state of affairs"
The letter said further: I'VE are about
to enter upon new seasons business.
We are advised that many OF our COM
petitors are badly in need of work and
we have every reason to expect the
I'VE hear vague rumors OF a re-
duction in wages. Among some of our
customers there seems to be de-
lusjon that prices for goods must be
lower, notwithstanding that raw ma
terials and wool particularly are
higher and growing still higher in
price. The present tariff on wool
practically amounts to an embargo.
and this has the tendency of initiating
the price on wool in this country.
"It is true that just now things do
not look altogether bright. Still we
do not share the pessimism that seems
to abound in textile circles. Our di-
rectors believe we can maintain the
present wages for the coming season
and a further reduction is farthest
from our thoughts.
after the turn of the year we ex-
pect prospects to brighten and we
shall make every endeavor to get our
have continuous employment. You can
by doing your utmost to increase ef-
fciency in the mills by the careful
prevention of unnecessary waste and
in many other ways that will occur to
you and by so doing cooperate with
the management to help in the re-
duction of cost SO that we may meet
the expected competition and Sc
cure work for ourselves.
IF you will do this you will aid
in maintaining good wages
and steady work. BY helping US to
meet the outside competition you will
be helping yourself. congratulate
you upon your splendid efforts this

Number of Holiday Sales
Are Exceptionally Large

Special Dispatch to The Star
ST. LOUIS. Mo-. December "a
Many lines Of business are more or
less stationary owing to the concen-
tration of interest in holiday trade In
this section and the focusing of at
tention on inventories in the whole
sale lines. The number of holiday
purchases are exceptionally large.
Many large department stores declare
this end of the years business has
been so satisfactory that 1t has
brought their volume of trade far in
excess OF last year and their total
dollar value Of sales on a level with
1920.
The reasons assigned for this trade
stimulation are the liquidation Of
prices. the staging Of bargain sales
and the vigorous and systematic ad-
vertising of retail stores. The smaller
stores have not occupied SO advan-
taGeous a position. however.
Money is easier everywhere. but
this Is especially noticeable in the
cities. Merchants are making strenu-
Gus efforts to dispose of old stocks
The most gratifying outlook is pre-
sented by the wholesale dry goods
men. who declare. in comparing this
season with last year. that they have
large orders in for goods to be de-
livered In the spring. whereas last
year they had booked practically no
advance business.

SPRING SHOE BUYING SLOW.

several bright spots" in trade, buy
ing of spring shoes by retailers has

some of the high-priced' goods. few
lines of mems shoes have been or
dered to more than so per cent of the
capacity of the factories which made
them. Many manufacturers have not
disposed of that much merchandise
to date. although Christmas should
have seen the advance spring bust
ness on their books practically in its
entirety. Women's shoes for the new
season are said to have sold so far
even more slowly than mems, prob
ably because of the greater style ele-

however, is expected to be an active
