In a careful analysis of broad eco
noinic problems OF the cotton textile
industry in the South, prepared by
Charles Il. Main and Frank NJ. Gum
by, Boston, Mass, and read by the
latter, rapid growth Of the industry
was reported and 1t was shown that
this advance has been due to basic
economic factors favoring cotton pro-
ducing States over New England.
"The number of spindles North and
South" the paper said, now are al
most equal and indications are that
they will be entirely equal within a
short time" But it goes on to show
that Southern mills run each spindle
an average of 3,100 hours year as
compared with !. 800 hours yearly for
Northern mills.
Capacity Ahead of Demand.
The conclusion reached by the
paper is that the basic trouble with
the textile industry is that productive
capacity is so far ahead of the mar
ket demand that there is little profit
for anybody In the business.
AS a remedy it suggests that much
more progress can be made by CO.
operation in order that no section
can afford to go along independent of
the other until they are checked by
meeting in a glutted market. Neither
section. it was declared, can solve the
problem alone.
