The election OF william NJ. Wood.
president OF the American Woolen Com
pany. as director general and chairman
of the board of the Consolidated Textile
Corporation was commented upon In
trade circles yesterday az being the
most important development In the tex
tile industry in years.
John J.. Watson. vico-president OF
the Consolidated Textile Corporation.
pointed out that the cotton products
handled by the Consolidated were active
In summer, whereas the busy season IN
woolens Is during the cold months. Ow-
Ing to the fact that the same interests
now control both companies. Mr.. Watson
said that the handicap of seasonable
inactivity in both lines would hereafter
be greatly reduced.
Allan A. Ryan, so Mr.. Watson said.
had In no sense been a controlling factor
In the Consolidated Textile Corporation
and it had never been one OF the socalled
Ryan concerns" 1t was true. Mr.. Wat
son said, that when the Consolidated
was first formed its common stock was
sold to the public through a syndicate
which Ryan headed Ryan afterward
withdrew, according to Mr.. Watson. and
at the time Ryan's assets were taken
over by his banking creditors he had
but 1.100 shares OF Consolidated Tex
