The woolen and worsted man.
ufacturers and the synthetic
fiber producers enjoyed similar
activity after some pretty sickly
days. The rapid recovery of the
industry, however, didn't leave
textile manufacturer without any
worries.
Devaluation of foreign curren-
cies and competition in the
world markets gave them some
headaches.
The industry says it needs to
export about 10 per cent of its
production to remain healthy.
During the first three quarters of
1949 exports amounted to about
II per cent of production, but
the textile information service,
research and statistical organiza-
ton of the industry was not opti-
mistic concerning the final quar-
ter.
Devaluatlon of the pound i'm
proved the competitive position of
foreign producers. Political up
heaval and consequent economic
instability spread over large por-
tions of the Far East. There was
threat of increased competition
from low-cost, low-priced Japa-
nese goods.
There was an increasing ten
dency during 1919 to mix such
synthetic flbers as rayon and nylcn
with wool and cotton. Stable
price and stable quality of the
synthetics appealed to some.
Their lightness and durability to
others.
But wool and cotton remained
the old standbys.
Most millmen saw little chance
of price reduction in spring or fall
goods next year. The price of raw
wool is running as high. and in
some cases higher, than a year
ago. Domestic wool production Is
far short of the needs in this
country.
Some manufacturers said the
only thing that will bring the price
down is a decline In the cost of
labor or in the cost of doing busi-

Canadian Production
OF Pulp and Paper
Met 1949 Demand
By the Associoted Press

MONTREAL, Canada. Dec. 81.
For the first time since the war,
Canada's pulp and paper produc-
ton this year equals the effective
demand on Canadian mills.
r. M. Fowler, president of the
Canadian Pulp and Paper Asso-
citation and the Newsprint Asso-
citation Of Canada, estimated
Canada's 1949 newsprint produce
ton at more than 100000 tons,
10000 tons higher than 1948,
and total pulp production at
around the record level of 8,000,-
900 tons attained in 1948.
with overall production vir-
tually at the record attained in
1948," he said, with generally
better managed forests, with mills
now at their highest. level of eff
cheney, the pulp-and-paper in
dustry occupies a stronger posi-
ton than at any time in its long
history and remains as ever Can
ada's greatest breadwinner."
The dollar shortage and de-
valuation has for the moment
limited sales in many of Canada's
traditional pulp-and-paper mar
kets. But in 1949 the dollar area
largely absorbed the tonnage
which formerly went to other
markets.
. It was the narrowing of the
Canadian markets overseas which
created, for the first time since
the war, supply reasonably ade-
quate to meet the. effective de-
mand on the mills.
United States publishers, who
are consuming IS per cent Of the
Canadian product, in 1949 printed
more pages and more advertising
and increased their circulations,
all of which reached record levels
during the year." Mr.. Fowler said.
Mr.. Fowler noted a decline in
pulp shipments this year. Large
inventories. acquired particularly
in the United States during the
immediate postwar years, proved
to be out of proportion to current
demand and overhung the mar
ket in the first half Of this year.

King Coal Harassed
By Strikes and Other
Ailments in Year
BY the Associated Press

/ PITTSBURGH, Dec. 31.-Strikes
and other ailments handed the
harassed coal industry some sharp
raps in 1949.
With King Coal sitting uneasily
on a throne that doesn't feel as
comfortable as it used to, the Ma
tion's mines produced an esti-
mated 43O 100000 tons of soft coal
down % per cent from last year
In 1948, production was $780,
518,229 tons. In 1947. the soft coal
diggers mined a whopping 630,-
623 1872 tons to set an all-time rec
ord.
The Anthracite industry also had
aches and pains. The 10000 hard
coal miners, centered in Eastern
Pennsylvania, produced less coal
in 1949 than in any other year
since 1902. Their product is used
chiefly in homes.
The Pennsylvania Department
of Mines estimated 1949 produc-
tion of anthracite at about 45, ,000,-
600 tons. It was the worst year
since 1902's output of 41,000,000
tons. Strikes. warm weather, high
prices and poor demand shared
the blame.
Three Stoppages Hurt.
The coal industry suffered three
major work stoppages during the
past year. They cost the Nation
around 16O,OOO,00O tons of soft
coal. Miners lost more than 17,OOO,-
900 man days of work and more
than $300,000,000 in wages-as-
suming that without strikes they
would have been kept fully at work.
1t is not certain they would, since
coal stocks were high this sum-
mer. and consumption was down.
Other fuels continued to edge
into a field once dominated by
coal without challenge. Gas and
oil made new inroads. Operators
contended President John L. Lewis.
of the United Mine Workers was
largely responsible by pricing coal
out OF some markets, and making
supply uncertain. Railroads, utili-
ties and other industries continued
the trend toward gas and oil and
away from coal. ~.
The three 1949 strikes, all part
of Mr.. Lewis contract maneuver-
ing, developed into a test of
strength between the labor leader
and coal mine owners.
Operators Stand Firm.
Operators chose 1949 to make
a firm stand after granting an
nuaI concessions to the UMW.
This year they sought a continu-
alton of the old minus
provisions which annoyed them
most.
The off f-again, on-again third
strike came to a partial end De-
cember 5-after a three-week
truce-with Mr.. Lewis putting the
three-day week back into effect.
Sporadic negotiations since last
spring on a new contract had
gotten no place. A new strike,
or some counter action by opera
tors. is a possibility early in 1850.

|Non-Ferrous Metals
Weather Big Slump,
Stable 1850 Seen
by the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The non-
ferrous metals industry weathered
costly slump in 1949 and looks to
the new year for return to nor
NAL peacetime stability.
The postwar business adjust
Iments which dislocated many other
industries earlier were slow to hit
metals because of the pent-up de-
mand carried over from wartime
But when the break came last
spring, it came hard and fast.
Buyers who had been scram-
bling for copper, lead, zinc and
aluminium for months found their
own fabricated products going beg
ging in the business downturn
which began for this industry in
February. They stopped buying
metals and began instead to work
down their inventories.
So metal prices plunged. Cop
per skidded from 2312 cents a
pound in mid-April to 16 cents in
June: lead from it's all-time high
of 211a cents early in March to
II cents by late may; zinc from
1712 to mid-June's 8 cents.
Many high-cost mines closed as
prices sagged. Others cut opera
tions back sharply. Brass mills.
wire mills. foundries. smelters fur
loughed workers by the thousands.
Consumers reentered the mar
ket by June as inventories worked
down, and metals prices edged
upward again. Copper was up to
its present 1872 cents by early
November-and deliveries to Gus
toners for that month were the
highest since March Of 1948 at
118,146 tons shipments in July:
45.316 tons).
Lead climbed to 151a cents in
August but then skidded back to
the December price of IL cents a
pound under pressure of large for
n-origin supplies.
Zinc got up to 1012 cents in Sep
tember. before the steel strike cur
tailed consumption for galvanizing.
and finished the year at 9A.
Aluminium managed to hold
steady pricewise throughout the
year ,(at II cents a pound for in
gots), but the sharp slump in de-
mand in the second quarter per-
mitted suppliers to build up stocks
for the first time since 1916.
Demand for copper should con-
tinue at the present annual con-
sumption rate of 100000 tons
for at least the first half of the
new year with industrialists pre-
dieting continued high activity in
the building field and in produc-
tion Of autos, trucks and electrical
goods. said T. E. Veltfort, manager
of the Copper & Brass Research
Association.
, Andrew Fletcher, president of
St. Joseph Lead Co.. estimated do
mestic mine output of lead in 40
at roughly 100000 tons compared
with 385 900 the year before. Lead
recovered from scrap will approx
mate 100000 tons against ATS, 900.
and imports from 81 countries will
come to roughly 100000 peace
time record-compared with 340.-
900 the year before.

Oil |ndustry's Profits
Reduced by Surplus
Difficulties in AZ
By Mox B. Shelton
Associated Press Business Writer

HOUSTON. Tex. Dec. 81
Supply-demand problems cut
deeply into oil company incomes
in 1949, giving the industry a con-
fusing and distressing year, but
oil men believe 1850 will bring
important decisions at least easing
their dilemma.
The industry's greatest fear for
1850 is that crude oil prices will
slump in the early spring unless
demand for domestic oil picks up.
Company net incomes for 1949
probably will show an average
about Is per cent below D48,
when the Nation set an all-time
crude oil production record.
Output Cut Sharply.
A glance at crude oil produc-
ton figures shows what has hap
pened.
During the week ending De-
cember 10 domestic output aver
aged 4,979, 300 barrels daily. The
same week last year had a $751;
$50 average.
Texas production alone during
the year slumped about 100000
barrels to slightly above 2,100 900
barrels daily at mid-December.
Another cutback, the tenth in 13
months, has been ordered for
January.
Government officials have be-
come alarmed in such States as
Texas where oil tax money ac-
counts for a large portion of an
nual budgets.
Production cutbacks forced
many companies, particularly in
dependent operators, to start
abandoning wildcat and explora-
ton projects before mid-1949.
Well Compilations Down.
Well competitions this year had
been expected to exceed the all
time record set in 1949, but recent
reports from two oil industry pub
locations indicate a decrease Of
about / per cent.
world OIL" which predicted / g
per cent increase this year, places
competitions through October at
32.138, compared to 32,441 the
same period last year.
'The Oil and Gas Journal"
places 1949 competitions as of De-
cember 10 at 36,072. compared to
1891 a year earlier.
Industry spokesmen say these
curtailments are only the begin
ming.
In 1850, they say, there will be
fewer wells drilled, less construc-
ton, less expansion.
Feared Price Slashing.
Many oilmen submitted to the
1949 production cutbacks grace
fully in belief it was the only
means of preventing price slash
ing.
Two factors-foreign oil i'm
ports and an abnormally mild
winter Season-are blamed for the
1949 setbacks that put the skids
under the 1945-48 boom.
No one can do anything about
the. weather but the bitter fight
over imports should become more
intense once Congress resumes
session next month.
Actually the two factors tie to-
gether in that importers began
increasing their foreign receipts
following the severe winter of
1947-48 when spot SHORTAGES
brought Congressional investiga-
tions designed to find out whether
the United States was running out
of oil.
Importers say they ordered
more foreign oil as a safeguard
against shortages in the 1948-49
winter. But nature played a trick
on the industry by arranging one
OF the mildest winters in recent
history for the heating fuel con-
suming areas.
Meanwhile domestic production
was being boosted to record levels.
The result Instead of spot Short
ages. the Nation was flooded with
oil, both domestic and foreign.

Ex-Convict Raids Jail,
frees Prisoner After
Locking Up 4 Guards
BY the Associated Press

WORCESTER, Mass, Mar. g.
A young ex-convict forced his way
at gunpoint into Worcester County
jail, locked four guards in a cell
and freed prisoner yesterday.
A nine-State alarm was sent out
by State police for Charles E.
Dubeau, 81, of Millbury, and
Joseph Richards, %, of Fitchburg.
Dubeau was released from jail
last September after serving
year for auto theft. Richards
was serving a term for auto theft
and for breaking out of the same
Jail about year ago.
Police said Dubeau scaled a To-
foot wall and surprised William
Shilale, guard, in the prison
yard.
Using Mr.. Shilale as a shield,
Dubeau entered the Jail building,
went to reception room where
there were two other guards and
demanded the master key to cells
in the east wing.
The three guards then were
herded into cell block where
another guard was captured.
After Dubeau released Richards
the four were forced into the
cell.
Police said Dubeau and Richards
escaped by holding up cab
driver near the jail. They forced
him to drive them to Sturbridge,
near the Connecticut State line.
The pair then jumped out of the
auto and fled.

the post also stated that:
