PRODUCTION STEPPED UP AT
EAST FLOT ROCK PLANT AS
COMPANY IS REORGANIZED

Details of the reorganization of
the Chipman-Burrowes Hosiery
Mills company were arranged here
this week by Charles Chapman and
Fl. G.. Wick, of New York, presi-
dent and secretary, respectively,
of the Charles Chapman Sons Co.,
in conference with c. A. Seibert,
manager of the hosiery manufac-
turing plant at East Flat Rock.
They returned to New York yes
terday after having expressed
qualification over the outlook for
the local industry.
AS soon as a corporate charter
is received from Raleigh, the COM
pany will be known as the Chip
man-LaCrosse Hosiery Mills Co.,
due to a consolidation and the
removal of machinery and other
equipment from another plant at
Lacrosse. Wis. All this machin-
ery has been installed in the To-
cal plant, Mr.. Seibert said. and
production has been stepped up
to almost 1000 dozen pairs of
hose daily. Any further installa-
ton of machinery, he said, would
necessitate the erection of a new

additional advances toward recov-

of yarns and other supplies and
equipment is being stored in the
former Wetmur Motor Company
building in Hendersonville. The
company. Mr.. Seibert said, will
gradually make improvements in
the mill village. and if the bust
ness pendulum swings favorably
within. the next few months it is
possible that some new cOnstruc-
ton work will be done.
The payroll at the mill this
week includes the names Of 342
persons as compared with about
10 employees at work last sum-
mer. Wages have not. been raised,
Mr.. Seibert said, because the
schedule of the company now is
approximately twice the wages
being paid in most other cotton
mills. These other mills would
have to increase wages about 100
per cent, instead of the recent 5
and 10 per cent increases, before
reaching the wage standard here,
he added.

PARK ROWD|ES

Determined to put down a
rising tide of "rowdyism" through
out Washington at night, park
police last night surrounded
Sherman Circle and arrested Is
youths.
Hundreds of boys between IS
and 20 years old are becoming
increasingly bold in monopolizing
public parks at night, Capt. P. j..
Carroll, of the park police force,
explained today. For weeks COM
plants have been pouring into
the parks office complaining of
obscenity. open "petting parties, !"
and offensive conduct.
Most of the gangs collect at
Sherman Circle, Meridian Hill,
Stanton and Lincoln Parks and
wholesale arrests there will fol-
low, Captain Carroll said, if the
roWdyism continues.
Eleven of the Is arrested last
night were juveniles and so were
released in the custody of their
parents. The remaining four
were required to post SIS collateral
each and we're to be arralgned
in Police Court today.
