TEXTILE INDUSTRY
"a Ia
OPERATING ABOVE
NORMAL CAPACITY
Outlook for Next Few Months
Very Encouraging, Says
Expert,
By W. IRVING BULLARD


Wice President Merchant National
Bank)
Treasurer National Association Cot
ton Manufacturers
ICopyright. 1923, by United PressJ
BOSTON, April 1.-THE textile man.
ufacturing industry OF this country
is operating with prospect that pro-
duction schedules will be maintained
at about the present level for a few
months at least. The cotton mills are
running at about 113 per cent and the
wooden and worsted mills at about 95
per cent of single-shift capacity. Since
the normal basis Of operations is con-
siderably below full capacity, these fig
ures indicate that the textile mills as
a whole are running probably 100
per cent Of normal.
The wooden and worsted mills are
employed on fall goods for which buy
ers placed an unusual large volume
Of orders at the openings a few weeks
ago. These orders were far in excess
Of the production capacity of the
mills and manufacturers were forced
to scale them down drastically. Mos
manufacturers have all the forwa
business on their hooks that they care
to handle under the present condi-
tons.
Cotton Industry Booming
Most cotton mills, likewise, have all
the business that they require to
cover their production during the Pc
riod for which they are willing to
sell Northern mills are running on
an average just above their regular
single shift schedules, and southern
mills are operating about 25 per cent
overtime. The mills recently have
been consuming cotton at a higher
rate than ever before in the history
Of the industry.
The most disturbing factors in the
situation are the high cost Of both
cotton and wool and the shortage Of
cotton. Some kinds Of wool are IS
per cent higher. others 100 per cent
higher and others $50 per cent higher
than they were year and half ago.
Cotton IS nearly three times as high
as at the low point of the recent de-
preston. The recent advance in
wages of 121a per cent. bringing the
present rates Of cotton mill wages ts
1897 above pre-war and of woolef
workers to 159 per cent above pr1
war. adds further to the higher cost.
