SWEEPING CHANGES
IN TEXTILE MILLS
Manufacture of Artificial Silk
Expected to Save Big
Plants From Ruin.

special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July l3.--One of the
surest signs that the New England
textile industry has not given up the
ghost is that many mills have finally
given up ginghams. What that means
is that these mills have ceased trying
to cram goods which the public did
not want upon buyers. They have
turned toward filling demand instead
of trying to dominate it. This ten
dency to make what consumers want
is one of the healthiest of the new
trends now apparent In American busi-
ness life.
Trying Out New Fabrics.
Many of the mills are trying out
the manufacture of rayon fabrics
The results attending the showing of
the AmoskeaS mills yarn-dyed wash
fabrics. which are designed to com
pete with rayon or natural silk goods
will be watched with the utmost in
terest by the trade. The public has
shown that it is tired of ginghams,
and wants silk or goods that look like
silk or which are of a quality ap-
nroXimating silk in price range.
The New England mills have not fig
Gred in the Rayon industry until late
months, but the Rayon and silk man
ufacturers have reaped a rich har
vest. AS one consequence the cotton
manufacturers have experienced the
greatest depression since the Civil
War. OF the Rayon goods manufac-
tured into fabric in 1924. 80 per cent
were made outside New England.
Objected to Changing Styles.
Cotton mill managers objected TO
changes from old-style goods on the
ground that they could not keep costs
down If they shifted with each style.
The highest textile Authorities, how
ever, declared that ii was evident that
the public was not looking for cheap
cotton goods ana that the shifting of
styles is what makes demand and in
creaseS consumption.
The move by Amoskeag is regarded
as specially significant OF the change
in policy, since the difficulty of adapt
ing such huge plants to production of
novelties is far greater than in the
case OF smaller organizations
The phenomenal growth of Rayon
manufacture now make IL third among
textile industries of the world. ac.

NEW YORK. July 13 CP).-Trading

marked contraction in volume, with
price movements lacking a definite
trend. Sitter call money rates and
the absence of many traders had a
restraining effect on business. Estab-

few specialties was counteracted by
the weakness of a few others which
sank to new low levels for the year.

It isn't often that a repertoire
company, planning to offer the
Washington footlight public u
new play each week, has the good
fortune to have it's resident cast
headed by a Broadway leading
man. When such a scoop is rung
up, the achievement is worthy
of more than just casual
mention.

the early summer months.

big-town reputation and is al
