Imports Rising
Recently published figures show
that 1959 imports of cotton goods
made by foreign textile manufac
turers rose 28 per cent over 1958.
At the same time, exports of
cotton goods made by American
workmen decreased from 501,-
000,000 yards in 1958 to about
439,000,000 in 1959. The decrease
is about 12% of the 1958 total.
Imports of wool goods increased
32 per cent over 1959, to a total
of 45,000,000 square yards. Some
observers of the textile industry
fear that wool imports will con
tinue to increase, rather than de
cline. Imports of cotton goods
have been rising sharply during
the past few years and 1959 saw
a huge increase in imports of man-
made fiber fabrics and apparel.
Towel Mill Honors
Top Weavers, Fixers
The Towel Mill’s top quality weavers
and loomfixers are listed below for the
most recent periods of record.
The leading operators are singled out
for recognition under a program at the
Towel Mill designed to encourage quali
ty and efficiency in the weave room.
New names appear frequently, indicat
ing keen competition among the weav
ers and loomfixers.
“The Weavers of the Week” are those
with the lowest percentage of seconds
with respect to the standards for the
various loom groups.
The top loomfixers are determined
through a combination of low seconds
and high loom efficiency on the sections
for which they are responsible.
