one of putting inventions to work to
create new industries and new jobs"
The President had used the phrase

U. 5. Chamber Opposes
Wool. Labelling Law
4y the Associated Press.

9S the Associated pfebS.
Federal legislation to regulate
labelling of wool fabrics Is unneces-
sary, the United States Chamber Of
Commerce said yesterday, because
the Federal Trade Commission Al
ready has complete authority and
control over Misrepresentation Of
merchandise.
The national chamber suggested
this authority, which gave the trade
commission the same jurisdiction
over wool products IS over rayon
and other fabrics" be utilized in
stead Of the "truth-in-fabrics" wool
labelling bill now before Congress.
The chamber asserted that ade-
duate discretionary authority to pro-
tect the consumer was held by the
trade commission, and that flexibil.
ity, such as exists under trade prac-
tice procedure, was necessary.
A "truth-in-fabrics" wool bill in
troduced by Senator Schwartz, DEM
ocrat. of Wyoming was passed by
the Senate last July. A companion
bill, introduced by the late Repre-
sentative Martin. Democrat, Of Colo

The decline OF the cotton textile

uted in Federal report yesterday to
over-expansion Of the industry and
competition from substitute fibers
and low-wage Southern mills.
The report, compiled by the Work

closing Of the Amoskeae Mills at
Manchester, N. H., once the worlds
largest single cotton manufacturing
unit, as an example Of the plight Of
New England cotton mill centers.

In the case Of Amoskeag. which

factors affected its decline, the most
important was the withdrawal Of
needed capital funds at a critical
point in the history of the company"

port said, and the shutdown af-
