meeting has been called by William
B. Mccall, head of the National AS

Cotton Manufacturers.
A committee of ten manufacturers,
recently appointed to study the tex

fore and Is expected to endorse the
cotton textile institute.
Mill men all over the country have
been asked to join the association.
II. r. Fitzgerald, president of the
Riverside and Dan River Cotton
Mills at Danville, Va, was the first
southern manufacturer to comment
on the institute at the request of the
national association.
The disease of the cotton textile
industry-its one great weakness-is
its lack of organization" he wrote in
an open letter. THE present trying
situation is the natural outcome OF
the industry's rapid development and
this growth demands new methods
more commensurate with the present
size Of the industry.
Il have great faith in the institute
plan. believe that if once a start is
made on a basis on which all can
agree that it will be the beginning
of wonderful structure that will
ultimately take our great industry
out of the 'suds' and put it on the
high plane of success it has enjoyed
throughout the ages"
