GREATER EFFICIENCY
IN BUSINESS SEEN
Representatives Conducting Survey
at U. 8. Commerce Chamber
Report New Era.

Business in the United States is
breaking away from old traditions and
moving to new heights of efficiency,
group of business representatives
gathered at the Chamber of Com
merce Of the United States has found.
The representatives. speaking for so
cities, railroad and public utilities, to-
day concluded a two-day conference
at chamber headquarters "to chart
the broad currents of the present in
dustrial migration"
Shifting of industries from one sec
ton Of the country to another, the
movement of plants from crowded
cities to smaller towns where living
costs are lower and establishment of
branch plants to tap new markets and
to provide better distribution were
included in the discussions.
Establishment of branch plants on
the Pacific Coast was laid in a large
measure to the rapid increase in popu-
lation there and to expansion OF mar
kets. Branches established in the
East, it was pointed out. tend to offset
the shifting of industries to smaller
towns where conditions in some re-
spects are more favorable to produc-
ton of certain types.
Except in New England, which will
always remain a textile center despite
growing production of standard goods
in the South" the business of the
Nation was regarded as becoming
more fluid under pressure of new
competitive forces and as rapidly
launching new endeavors to meet new
requirements.
