Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 27.-Bring
factories south!
This is the slogan which is be-
ing heard here among business
men, manufacturers, bankers.
merchants and agricultural leaders.
who have received reports of con-
ditions in New England.
1t is pointed out that with the
splendid rail and water facilities to
be found in this part Of the coun-
try. with the incompatible climate
and the millions of consumers OF
factory products it would be a rea-
sonable conclusion that the proper
thing to do now would be to move
the New England factories to Dixie,
where they would be close to the
markets and at the same time with
in a handclasp Of practically all
the raw materials in the country.
Business men like those in New
England, Atlantans assert, need rot
to be told that skilled labor may
always be found where working
conditions are fair and regular.
For long time, factory owners,
here claim, New England has wax
ed rich at the expense Of the raw
producing south, but that day is
rapidly drawing to a close. The
factory is coming to the base, at
last.
Situation i'm New England.

woe to unfold. The tenor of their
songs took on the tone of a funeral
dirge. They were unanimous in the
opinion that New England had be-
! come a desert for factories, and
practically agreed that there was
nothing to do for some OF those
already there but move to other
communities.
| Among others who took this view
of the question is A. B. Reynders
manager of the New England West
/ iinghouse company. To his mind
according to authentic reports re-
ceived in Atlanta, New England
! does not now have much to offer in
dustries as inducements for them to
go there from elsewhere, or to
stay there if they are already
there. In other words. Mr.. Reyn-

meeting at Springfield, openly stat.

ivelopment is concerned.
The Westinghouse plant was es-
tablished in Massachusetts, during
the world war. It represents such

point to use it continuously in times
of peace, as well as war. Mr.
Reynders reverted to the fact thai

No Raw Material Available.


On the other hand, there is no
raw material in Massachusetts, and
the markets are far away, making
the industries wholly dependent on
the railroads. This is an unmistak-
able handicap, Mr.. Reynder figures,
for the freight service is decided
ly poor and certainly costly. The
railroads. in that part Of the coun.
try, are weak financially and they
are compelled to operate with inad-
equate equipment. AS rule. there
is much congestion of freight and
the New England factory, he says,
has to wait, at a los, for its raw
material. and then, wait, at a loss
for its finished products to reach
the consumer.
