2STH CONVENTION
RIVERS : HARBORS
To Be Held in Washington,
ID. c., January IL and IS
Lively Meeting Anticipated
RAILROAD LEGISLATION

The 28th convention of the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress which is to be held in
Washington, D. c., on the 18th and
18th of January promises to be
one of the liveliest waterway meet
ings ever held. Certainly there will
be no lack of subjects for discus
sion. One of the most important
of these is the program of legisla
ton announced by the Association
of Railway Executives. AS the Of
ficers of the Congress see it, If this
program shall be enacted into law,
it will open the way for the rail
roads to secure a monopoly Of all
methods of transportation and to
destroy inland waterways com
pletely The railway executives
hope to put over some parts of
their program even during the
present short session of Congress.
Among these are regulation of
water-borne traffic and "permis-
sion for the railroads to engage in
water transportation on the same
terms that are permitted to all
other interests" AS stated by the
railway executives themselves, "At
the time the Government under
took the regulation of the railroads
they constituted practically mon
opoly in the transportation field"
No one who is both intelligent and
honest can claim that the water
ways today have anything that
even remotely resembles a monop-
oily More than that, no boat line
has any exclusive right on the
stream over which it operates,
while every railroad has an abso-
lutte monopoly of traffic on its own
tracks. President Hoover's plan
for the reorganization of the Gov
ernment proposes to take river and
harbor work away from the Army
Engineers and give it to a bureau
in the Interior Department. Not
even death is any more certain
than it is that the Convention will
oppose this proposition to the limit.
The Congress was organized to ad-
vocate "A Policy, not a Project"
and, thus far, has adhered strictly
to this line of action However.
there are a number of members
who feel that the policy" has now
been established and that the time
has come when the Congress
should begin to actively advocate
meritorious projects. They intend
to offer, at the Convention, a reso-
luton calling for this radical
change in the activities Of the Con
gress. Other members are strong
ly opposed to the proposal, and
there is sure to be a lively debate
before it comes to q vote. Much
of the time in past conventions has
been given to formal addresses.
With so many important matters
to be considered, much of the time
at the coming Convention will be
devoted to general discussions in
which all delegates will be free to
take part.

TEXTILE INDUSTRY
CONTINUES TO LEAD
New Sales Squirt Assures Ac-
tive Production for Rest
of Year.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,

Associated Press financial Editor.
NEW YORK, October 9.-The spindle
and the loom continue to lead the march
of recovery. despite the head-shakings
and cluck- -cluckings when the spinning
and weaving of fabrics broke all records
during the early Summer.
While production at that time ran
far in excess of consumption and went
largely toward building up stocks in ad-
vance of higher costs under code opera
ton, there has been revival of demand
for textile goods during recent weeks,
and trade analysts say active production
for at least the remainder of the year
seems assured.
That the long depressed textile in
dustry, which failed to get even a nible
of the boom time profits Of 1928 and
1929, should now be setting the pace is
one of the phenomena of recovery.
The cotton division was the first
major industry to start operating under
an N r. A. code, and despite the skep-
ticism which was manifest in several
quarters at the start, many authorities
now agree that code operation bids fair
to cure the ills from which this in
dustry had long suffered.
Discussing the textile industries gen.
orally, a survey by Standard Statistics
Co. says. I'm the event the N R. A.
policies are permanently adhered to by
this industry. it may safely be forecast
that the trade henceforth will expert
ence more favorable aggregate results
than for any period since 1924, the last
year of really satisfactory textile profits. "

Upturn Gaining Momentum
Weather Brings Gain in
Retail Sales.
snecial nisna.ch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 9.-The up
turn in Canadian business, which now
has assumed more extended proper
tions, was at a somewhat quicker pace
this week than during the greater part
of September when weather condl-
tions were a retardative influence.
Bank clearings. financial transfers
and electrical energy consumption are
increasing steadily. while operating
schedules are being stepped up in sew
eral manufacturing divisions and un-
employment is being decreased further,
although not so rapidly as desired.
Under the stimulus of more seasonal
temperatures retail sales have expand
ed. with the acceleration of demand
particularly marked in both mems and
women's wearing apparel and shoes.
The buying movement now has
spread to furniture. radios, hardware
and house furnishings, while the move
ment of yard goods. towels. curtains
and table linens is in constantly en-
larging volume. Wholesale dry goods
orders are running about 80 per cent
larger than a year ago. despite the
persistent policy of covering only near
by requirements, while shipments OF
groceries and foodstuffs are nearly Is
per cent above the 1882 comparative
totals, with prices advanced in nearly
all departments, according to dispatches
to Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, from branch
offices located in the chief commercial
centers of the Dominion.
Farm implement houses report busl-
ness better than expected, with larger
percentage of sales for cash than was
the case year ago. Collection of &C
counts on current sales are good. but
liquidation of old Indebtedness has
been only moderate thus far.
The smaller crops of the Western
district of Canada are reflected in the
declining trend of carloadings there.
while in the Eastern section of the Do
minion these are increasing, as indus
trial operations continue to be extend
ed. The newsprint industry has taken
definite turn for the better, with ad-
tional plants now being opened, and
years total.
The textile industries are operating
nearly at capacity and shoe factories
are well employed. despite the record
production for July. which was the
largest for any month since January,
1926. Output in that month totaled
1,974,376 pairs, an increase over the
month preceding of 1920 pairs and q
gain over July, 1882, of 595,ooo pairs.
Production of automobiles in Septem-
Der was nearly on par with the good
rate of August, when 6,079 units were
manufactured in Canada, compared
with 6,540 in July and 5,067 in August.
1882. For the eight months ended
August 81 there were 50,881 cars pro-
duced in Canada, while for the corre-
spending months in 1892 the total was
81 ,208.
