Editorial Comment
"ln the Hands of Her People"


The most striking statement in the
survey just completed by our cham
Der of commerce of the New Eng
land cotton manufacturing industry
! is this. that New Englands in
dustrial security and future pros
perity lie in the hands of her own
people"
The report, which IS short COM
pared with some others that have
been made on the same subject, con-
siders all the phases Of the cotton
mill problem. New England has one
advantage which nature conferred
and that will not be taken away, the
right kind of climate for the indus
try. New England is now handi-
capped. to an extent, in competition
with the South by restrictions that
may be removed by legislation. In
the production of the finer lines of
cotton goods New England has not
lost ground. The South and New
England have one difficulty in COM
mon; while the South has its raw
material right at the doors of its
mills. both New England and the
South have the same marketing
problems to solve. A striking state
ment that We ought to ponder is to
the effect that proximity to market
Is more important than proximity to
raw material. 1t may be that our
distance from the cotton fields is not
the fatal handicap which many had
assumed it to be.
The point of greatest resistance as
it is analyzed in this report We
nave an increasing number of mills
In which the higher labor costs
have been justified by the superior
eff1ciency of operators, resulting in
superior quality of output, which
commands superior price.r This
implies that cheap labor is dear
labor. Nevertheless for. competition
in all lines of goods with the South
a parity, relative or absolute, of
labor conditions is desirable. There
Is no one thing which would more
effectively revive the faith of the
New England mill administrators in
the future Of their respective enter
prises than the tablishment of
equal competitive opportunities with
the South with respect to labor
legislation" On this phase of the
situation there will be wide discus
sion and the parties Immediately at
interest. namely, management and
labor. will be likely to take opposite
positions. We wish they might con.
slider the matter face to face in CO.
operative discussion with the welfare
OF the industry as their single aim.

N. Y. Yankees Late Season
Slump Turns Dcpesters
to st. Louis.
BY Henry L. Farrell.

United Press staff C0rresDondent
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-After
having been thoroughly washed by
the Tunney-Dempsey fight, the decks
were being. cleared today for base
ball as the st. Louis Cardinals and
the New York Yankees began to
prepare for the 1926 world series.
Boxing, golf and tennis gave away
and infant football lacked the voice
to draw the attention of the pub
lie.
Both teams started special train
ing with scouts advising Rogers
Hornsby and Miller Higgins about
the weaknesses-if any-of their OPP
ponents. The business staff Of the
two clubs was knee deep in APP
plications for tickets.
The st. Louis officials have a sew
erai day advantage over the New
York office staff as the Yankees re.
fused to accept an application or a
check until the American League
pennant had been won mathematic.
ally, finally and officially.
No Demonstration
New York didn't have civic DEM
onstration when the Yankees won the
pennant like st. Louis threw for the
Cardinals. The rather blase way in
which the Yankees were accepted as
victors was due primarily to the fact
that worlds series games are moth
ing of novelty here and New York
has exhausted all her Mysteries on
Gertrude Ederle, Mile Corson and
Gene Tunney.
Interest always can be shown by
ticket sales and Ed. Barrow said he
had been flooded with enough ad-
vance applications since mid-season
that he felt reasonably sure of a sell
out.
Most OF the experts are lining up
behind the Cardinals but after the
terrible seeking the experts took on
the Dempsey-Tunney fight, the ten
mis- and golf championships and other
major events, it may mean that the
Yankees are sure to win.
Favor Cards
The Cardinals are favored chiefly
because they're a younger, faster
and better balanced club with the
fire of ambition. The Yankees are
accustomed to pennants; the Cards
never have beenin a worlds series.
The Cardinals have more good
pitchers tiian the Yankees and the
American League champions, with
bad flop in late season that might
have caused them to lose the pen
nant in another week, showed signs
Of being worn and stale.
The Yankees, as far as actual
worlds series playing, may be bet
ter money players, but the Cardinals
certainly showed no inclination to
curl up when they were fighting
off the attack of the Cincinnati Reds
and the Pittsburg Pirates.
Gene Tunney was irritated when
the critics said he was a champion
not because he was so good, but
because Dempsey was so bad, and
st. Louis will roar when they hear
the words of New York critic,
who said:
THE surprise is not that the Car
dinals won, but that the Pirates
lost" A
