Textile Trade’s Bright Outlook.
Tariffs are of no consequence rit
this time £S the war puts up barriers
safer than the highest imaginably
prote.(‘tive tariif, but the questions of!
labor and of dyestiiffs make compli
cations of a most serious chari*^»ter
that will tax the ingenuity of cui tex
tile captains to the utmost But tha
delays will be but temporary, us our
dyssiuff f;.xp£Tts will v.^ork out some
thing to mc^Jt th? sltv;:^,tion, and labor
will be for..hco;n:rtj‘ when the real
call is sounded.
Wii I’.r-- f/;issjiig' a period whc-n coal
hci'.ds and carefur action are iniporv-
it:it. We have-the golden opportu/i-
hy forcing itself upon us, and yet
we mustgoc away from our oki habic
of hard and fast rules for the conduct
of business that have kept up .out.of
foreign markeU for so many year?*-
Bt‘--'uuse the busine.*.^ is forced upon

now niarkets in the way the
German's, French and, English have

ness in ihe way trade asks that it be
done, and not as we do it here.
Perhaps, the nic.st serious didiculty
will [>c in the labor sufRc^snt to oper
ate ul! of oar textile equipment. Hun
dreds of our foreign mill workers arc'
on their way lo the war and many of
them are benelitting the industry in
particular and the country in general
g-y goirig. The I. W. W. ranks are be
ing thinned out, and as each undesir
able departs ar eal worker will come
forward to take his ph^ce, and as lo
the matter of dyestuffs the labor
shortage will be only temporary. Now
ir? the time to modify our socaikd
child iiibor laws and let 5,000 husky
boys and girls get back into the mills
