TO CONSOLIDATE
THATCHER MILLS
Merge Plants in Tennessee and
Alabama.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Sept l.
Plans for consolidation of three local
textile mills In which \. G. Thatcher, of
Philadelphia. is controlling factor. are
now being worked out. and are expected
to be brought before the stockholders
within a few weeks Tho present com
bined capital is 81. 500 600. and it is ex-
pected that the capital for the consoli-
dated concern will be slightly higher.
The three companies affected are COOsa
Manufacturing Company, with plants at
Piedmont, Ala; Thatcher Spips ing Com
pand and Standard Processing Company,
Chattanooga The processing company
mercerizes the product of the other two.
The executive heads of these plants are
three sons of the Philadelphia textile
magnate, X. G. Thatcher, at Piedmont;
Herbert Thatcher, secretary treasurer of
the local spinning company, and Alfred
Thatcher in the same capacity with the
mercerizing plant.
The motive of the proposed ConsOlida-
ton is Capitalization of authority in
creased efficiency of management, and
reduction of overhead. General plans
have been presented to the boards of
directors, both in Philadelphia and in
Chattanooga, and approval by. them with
orders TO work them out in detail, so
that the completed plan can be pre-
scented stockholders of the three CON
ems for ratification. All three plants
are now operating. with good prospects
for fall siness.-Copyright 1921, by

Duty Removal, Price Increase
Factors.

MONTERREY. Mexico. Sept. 1.-Silver
mining IN Mexico is looking up. Two
favorable factors are said to be causing
a considerable revival of operations OF
this class of mining properties. One is
the removal of export duty on silver by
the Mexican government, and the other
IS the improvement in the price Of the
metal If the situation continues to i'm
prove there will be a general resump-
ton of ore production and reduction

mining districts are said to be better
than for some time past.
The Compania Negotiation Miners, Je-
sus Maria of Saltillo plans extensive de-
velopmsnt in Coahuila. New machinery

stated.
Albert Gently has just finished the con-
struetion of an eight-mile spur track

SILK MILL MEN
ARE OPTIMISTIC
Anticipate Better Business in
Fall Trading.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. MANY silk
mills In the Philadelphia district are OPP
Grating on nearly full time in anticipa-
ton of good fall business. On the other
hand, jobbers and mill agents say the
trade is experiencing the usual midsum-
mer lull, and do not expect substantial
trading until the middle of September.
Prices in almost all lines are softening
owing to the lack of orders.
The mills are producing charmeuse.
satin crepe, crepe de chine and wash
satins, which are expected TO be lead
ers for the fall and winter selling sea
son.
Dress and underwear makers are busy.
One mill agent recently received an or
der for 10000 yards, including radiums,
charmeuse and crRee de chine for this
trade
A demand for white taffeta for sports
wear is expected. SILK mill men believe
the demand will be Influenced by Suzanne
Lenglen, the European tennis champion.
They say she set a new pace for tennis
costumes and smashed all traditions in
that respect by eliminating sports clothes
and appearing in a white taffeta frock on
the courts here. The regulation costume
consists of light wool sweater and white
skirt.
Approaching school days were given as
the reason for demand this week for wide
silk ribbons. These are being taken from
the mills in fairly large quantities.
Black, red and navy In plain taffeta are
the favorites. Production has not Leen
up to normal. and buyers are forced to
take what they can get.-Copyright 1921,

REINFORCEMENTS
REACH DEFENDERS

MADISON, w. Va, Sept. Rein
forcements were arriving at Logan early
today to assist Sheriff Don Chains army
OF defenders to keep out the forces Of
striking miners. Detachments from
Bluefeld, Welch, Charleston and other
points were on their way to Logan. Most
Of them were American Legion members,
who had organized themselves In the
semblsnce Of military units. They will
be equipped by the sheriff with rifles
and ammunition.
Fighting which ragged during the early
part of Wednesday night had died down
in the early hours this morning, but
there was every indication that 1t would
be resumed today.
1000 MEN
ARE ENGAGED.
Approximately twelve thousand men
were engaged in the battle last night.
The striking miners had about six thou
sand men, and Sheriff Chains forces
were estimated to be about as strong.
Fighting was in evidence at four points
on the line AT Crooked Creek, Mill Creek,
Beach Greek and Blair. There was more
or less rife fire along the whole noun
tainside from both the miners and
Chains men.
There were several casualties, but the
exact number is yet undetermined.
The worst fighting appeared to have
been In the Crooked Greek sector.
Armed men are still passing through
Madison on their way to Jeffery, the
miners concentration camp. Trucks
bearing ammunition and food supplies
also are moving toward Jeffery.

CALIFORNIA
TRADE OUTLOOK
is IMPROVED
Retail Trade Survey Shows
Decline of 35.5 Per Cent
i'm Prices.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 1.-The log
that has obscured the business outlook
in Northern California is lifting ap-
probably. While it Is too soon to dis
Germ definite general improvement,
markedly better situation exists in many
industries.
The California Packing Corporation Is
one of the strongest at the present tipe
Its ready acceptance of inventory losses
and its prompt efforts to dispose of the
carry over Of last year placed it In good
position to deal with the present seasons
crops 1t has taken its losses and is now
in a position to make a reasonably good
profit on the current years business.
Grain milling companies were hard hit.
The Globe Grain and milling Company
was obliged to refnance. The Albers Mil
ing Company faced a receivership. sperry
Flour was in fairly good shape, but SUI
fered as 2 result of the troubles of other
milling companies.
Sugar companies are beginning to
emerge from their troubles Most Of the
inventory losses have been taken. The
pew crop is coming in and expenses have
been cut to the bone
The shipyards have practically com
pleted their building programs. Repair
the yards will be able to hold at least
a SHELTON organization and continue to
live with repair work.
Notwithstanding price reductions, most
of the large oil companies are prospecting
The principal exception is the General
Petroleum Corporation.
The power companies all appear to be
satisfied with themselves. Pacific Gae
and Electric is probably the most pros
porous. Practically all are earning their
dividends comfortably.
The financing of the Great Western
Power Company leaves this concern more
open to criticism than some of its com
petitors The corporate security depends
upon one large dam. Engineers have
differed in their opinion as to the sta
bllity of this dam.
Retail business is fair. The Retail
Merchants Association OF San Francisco
conducted a survey of the city to deter
mine actual price reductions. The re-
suit shows an average decrease of 355
per cent in the retail price Of collars. ties,
shirts, sweaters, socks and similar ar
ticles with the year. The average whole
sale price decline is given at 1873 per
cent Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger
