Slmmonda . j i ' v., :. . that the present depressed condition of affairs would obtain until after the presidential election. He deprecated any Idea on the part of tha mills to bbui down for an Indefinite period. aeclarlng-that In view of the -obllga tlons to the operatives, curtail ment should be the method resorted to in order fo meet the exigencies of ine situation. Mr. rwin aiao gave expreesion. to his Arm convictoln that this period of depression, would result In good to the industry by reason of tne fact that it would make the mill owners and manaaera as well aa the operatives more careful and economl cat In tha future. He added that the present trouble had already had the ?ueci ana waa sun .navinj me enect of onnglng the employers and em ployes closer together in a more sym pathetic bond of union. ' In a wortL-l wnue fully cognizant and realizing in its entirety the gravity of tha eltua lion, Mr. Erwin does not hold to the belief that an is lost. He appreciates aa tew. otners In tba State perna pa do., that the Industry Is In a deplorable condition but he sees no reason on that account to lose faith In the ulti mate return of prosperous times; periods, of depression, such aa we sre now having, are not always with out benefit' remarked Mr. Erwin. "I am convinced that the present trouble will result In .good to the Industry. Of course a few will succumb as the test la applied but the final outcome wilt prove its worth. We have lust nassed through-a season of marked proe perl-toy- m the cotton' mill -business in the South. ... Many of the mills have been operating in a lax and loose manner, In which waste has been accumulat ing and cob webs have been creenina in. - . . The seasons have all been nroflt- able and the mills have made money even witn injudicious ana naphasard methods . of operations. The testlna time has come and the supreme need of economical management haa been demonstrated. The result Is that the mills ar husbanding their resources and are seeking to operate lust as cheap and careful as possible. No longer can the .mill owners take thjnga easy but on the contrary they nave to count every cost ana figure out every , detail which Is liable to give even a small margin of profit. What la said of the mill owners, can be also said, though of course In a different degree, of the mill opera-! lives. The operatives, like everybody else, ' have been, living luxuriously. The decrease of their income by rea son of the curtailment of their time and therefore their production and therefore their Income has made man ifest, the fact that they must practice the. economies of Jlfe, .r. The . benefit has been a double one. " "Therei fa -no oner who will doubt but that the recent depressed condi tion of affairs and the consequent troubles through ,-, which all of the mills 'have passed,? has brought the operatives closer together. The mill haada ttaie Recognized the straits of the mill pwners awTthe mill owners in return have recognized the obli gations resting .upon them to give worK to their operatives. Both have coma to realise, .tha existence) . of a mutual obligation which neither can violate . without consequent Injury. Unquestionably both are doing all In tueir power to adjust themselves to the new conditions. : - , 'The fact la of interest." continued Mr. Erwin, "that the percentage ofJ production by the operatives haa Im proved In a noticeable degree within the past few months.-" Appreciating tha situation and eager' to aid aa beet they can, the operatives ' are going about ; their work in a more xealous manner. The readjustment of prlcea has resulted In the garnering of a little trade." .- -, : - Mr. Erwin will leave this mornlna for Cooleeroee. PERSONAL, The alovemeats of a Number of Peo - pie.
