NEW ENGLAND MEN TO
VISIT SOUTHERN MILLS
Sweetzer and Wasgatt Are Studying
Conditions in the Southern
Cotton Mills.

| Charlotte, N. C. Nov 14.-E.
Leroy Sweetzer commissioner of
labor and industry of Massachus-
| etts, and Herbert P. Wasgatt, assis-
tant commissioner, who are studing
conditions in the textile industry of
of the Carolinas and Georgia, spent
today visiting cotton mills in the
vicinity of Charlotte.
The trip was said to be for the
purpose of informing New England
manufacturers of the situation in
the southern textile centers which
have been making large strides in
the recent years as the New Eng
land interests wish to take steps if
possible to keep their position in
the industry. The itinerary which
was mapped out by Chief Robert
Amory president of the National
Association of Cotton Manufactur-
ers organization composed of
New England textile mill owners,
provides for Mr.. Sweetzer and Mr..
Wasgatt to leave late today for
Spartanburg and from there TO
Greenville, S. c., and into Georgia.
It was indicated that their report
the governor of Massachusetts
would make recommendations as to
legislation for aiding the textile in.
dustry in his state. :.
MIR. Sweetzer, who was t brigad-
Ter general during the world war
was at one time commanding officer
at Camp Green at the time, New
England National Guard troops
were being trained at the camp.
MIR. Sweetzer said that altho he
had heard from authoritative sour
ces of the growth of the textile in
dusrry in the south, that he was sur
prised to- find out to what it had in
creased and he referred to the re-
cent address of President Armoury
in which the latter told New Eng
land textile operators that unless
they soon book active steps to meet
conditions the south would take
from that section its long held posi-
ton in the industry.
