COTTON INDUSTRY
] NNEW ENGLAND
JUMPING HIGH
Steady Improvement Has
Been Shown Since the
Code Was Adopted One
Month Ago

Boston, Aug 16.-UP)-An OPP
timistic report on the state of the
cotton industry in New England,
showing steady improvement since
March and especially since the
cotton code was adopted a month
ago, was given by Russell T.
Fisher, secretary of the National
Cotton Manufacturers association,
at regional MIRA headquarters to-
day.
It showed that employment had
increased about 35 per cent and
pay-rolls had doubled since March
a; that not single code violation
had been uncovered; that demand
for cotton goods in the retail mar
ket was picking up; and that the
five-day week in the textile indus
try was rapidly becoming general.
Limitation on machine hours
spread production and New Eng
land mills gained by the levelling
process, which cut hours OF opera
ton in the south, the report said.
Cotton started to earn profits with
in two weeks after the code be-
came effective. Manufacturing OF
standard print cloth on July 20
was bringing per cent return on
investment, compared with a
manufacturing loss of four cents
per pound on March 4. Production
of standard print cloth July 20 was
1913 per cent higher than on March
4. T.
Fisher said there had been a nat
ural let-down after the tremendous
business of June and July, but that
employment had not suffered. In
some instances there is still
shortage of hands, such as in the
case of loomfixers, he said.
