EVERETT DEAN MARTIN 10:30 A.M. MEMORIAL HALL 7rx ' -Ml ' GEORGE SOULE 8 P.M. MEMORIAL HALL jjr. VOLUME XLHI DISASTER LOOMS FOR KING COTTON, MIGHTDECLARES Counsel for Textile Union Re peats Fish's Earlier Warning To Cotton Industry. H EADS FOR CO-OPERATION For the second time yesterday, an impending crisis in the cot ton textile industry was predict ed from the rostrum of Memo rial hall when Chester Wright, rublic relations counsel for the United Textile Workers, reiter ated Hamilton Fish's earlier con tent ion that foreign competition is cutting the ground from be reath American cotton. Mr. Wright explained that the American textile industry has two alternatives in facing this crisis: it must meet the prices of the competing nations by lowering its wages and the standard of living to the level of theirs; or the labor and capi tal elements within the industry must use their combined intelli gence to find another solution to the problem. Way Out Proposed As a possible "way out" the speaker suggested the further development of the home mar ket for textiles. Quoting figures to show that only 30 per cent of the textile output is made into clothes, he expressed the belief that surplus cotton might be used to "put clothes on the American people." However, Mr. Wright stated, most needed in the industry is a much greater degree of co operation between the employ ers and the union. For the lack of such co-ordination he blames the employers.

TEXTILE LEADER DEFENDS ACTION OF MDJLOWNERS Comer Says Goal of Industrial ization Is Friendly Part nership with Workers. EXPLAINS RECENT STRIKE Donald Comer, president of the Avondale cotton mills and co-author of the Cotton Textile Code for the NRA, last night brought to a close a days dis cussion of the textile industry by declaring that "the employers are just as keen, just as alive, and just as anxious for better things as any group in this coun try." The veteran cotton mill opera tor, who has worked from the bottom up in the textile indus try, was sincere in his assur ance that the cotton mill own ers had the interests of their employees at heart. September Strike ."The September strike," he stated, "was called by Francis Gorman on charges of an over burdening of tasks through a violation of the code." Comer then proceeded to point out that figures compiled by the NRA in vestigating commission revealed 98 per cent compliance with the code. The textile industry had a creed to the code, Comer de- clared, had agreed to raise their costs of production 100 per ont. with" the assurance that other codes would follow, in ducing a larger buying power. The other codes, however, fail ed to accomplish their purpose and the textile industry was lf t. "alone on the Jend of the limb." "The ultimate goal of indus trialization," he concluded, is to bring about a friendly part i , i nership of employers and em ployees rather than live apart in separate armed camps.
