LAUNDRYMEN TRY
 ID ALTER GOODS

 inG, Cawe Emburassnelt

New York. Sept. 1t A-I.aundry- men have decided that while shrink ing may be pardonable in . violet. it should have no place in the make up of modern wearing apparel. Consequently they have gone into conference with textile manufactur- CTS in an efforts to reach some basit of agreement on the proper time tor the shrinking process to take place.
 Some textile men say q profit ac- crues through the yardage gain when goods are stretched in finish ing. But the lausArymen point out that when Eoods are over-stretched and the point where legitimate stretching ends and excess begins apparently supplies ample ground tor controversy-they shrink when laundered. to the dismay of iaun- drymen and the despair of wearers.
 I.aundrymen have suggested they will attempt to enlighten the pubic as to their claims that stretching is q by-product of greed. hoping that the more representative textile interest will make somewhat simi- lar efforts to inform the public that questionable goods are purchased only at | risk.
 The situation is rendered even more desperate by the fact that the modern mode of wearing little clothing enhances the difficulties at- tendapt upon shrinking during laundering. Yardage in dress parttc- ularly in small and even moderate shrinkage is said to cause some em- harrassment. When it comes to shirts there is still more trouble. Tor men. apparently paying little heed to shrjnkage, wear the shirts re- earjess of the decreased size.
