There has been q decided movement of
textile manufacture to the South. where
labor and taxation conditions are more
favorable to the manufacturer. But
the territory has not lost appreciably
in the departure of these units, since
the new lines have equalized the
losses.
After an intensive survey, Charles W..
Tobey, chairman Of the committee on
community development of the New
England council, said today;
More industries are being attracted
to New England than are being attract
cd from New England to other parts OF
The country. The survey of the migra-
ton of industry as 1t affected New
England In 1927 has developed certain
definite conclusions. These are:
First. that New England Is maintain
ing a favorable balance In the exchange
Of industries with the rest Of the United
States.
Second. that the development of now
undertakings and the acquisition Of
branch plants and industries from other
communities leave a net gain in both
the number of plants and the number
of workers employed, after taking into
account those industries which have
suspended operations or moved to other
communities.
Third. that the growth Of industry
in New England can best be promoted
by local enterprises, financed by local
capital.
Fourth, that the larger part of the
migration has been from one part of
New England to another.
Two Industries Needed.
Fifth, that it takes at least two in
| dustries on the average to replace in
employing capacity one which has
failed or moved elsewhere.
| Sixth, that individual communities
must devote more attention to the well
fare of their established industries.
"A point of outstanding significance
brought out by the survey is that
whereas four industries moved out of
/ New England in the last year 10 in
| dustries moved into New England from
the outside. These figures do not in
| Guide branch plants"
| In five years New England, however
has lost ara 600 spindles. which were
/ strapped, sold or removed to the South
/ This is a reduction of 20 per cent in
| the textile industry. but that the terri
/ tory still Is over equipped is indicated
