SOME MILL MEN
WHISTLING TO KEEP
UP THEIR COURAG
(From Manufacturers Record)
"Southern competition in the te
tile field is a bugaboo that has bee
much overemphasized," says "or
important industrial authority 1
Maine," as quoted by the Wa
Street Journal. "Fear of the Sout
and its growing strength in textile
is slowly passing in the North,
the same "important industrial ai
thority" is further quoted.
This "important industrial authoi
,*,r TUoin??" would have come no&J
IIJ 1U *uu*uv
er to true apperception of the fact
if he had realized that New Enj
land's fear of Southern competitioi
when first it began to loom on th
horizon has changed into resigns
tion in face of a formidable cei
tainty. The human mind cannot fee
the lively fears of a fresh apprehen
sioa indefinitely; gradually it estl
mates the danger and settles dowi
to a state of acceptance of incon
trovertible facts, or else buries it!
head, ostrichwise, iu th? sands o:
denial. It Is this artless dodge thai
is chosen bV the Wall Street Jour
ual's writer|thus:
"Contrary! t0 this authority, when
the South has proceeded far enough
in this cycle of industrial development
and increasing wages- so
as to be on a more even keel with
N^w Bnglad in the matter of hours
and wages, the North will again assume
undisputed supremacy in textiles.
Skill of the Southern textile
worker is by far inferior to that of
the New England worker, whose ancestors,
generations before, plied
their trade that has given him natural
bent for the work."
So wild a prophecy as that con
talned in the first sentence above
needs no reply. No man is gifted
with the infallible foresight apparently
claimed by the author of that
forrecast. The complete falsity of
the second seuteuce is attested by
many men who operate mills in both
sections and who find their Southern
mill help fully equal in skill
and far superior in tractability to
that of New Engand. In many cases
the etire equipment of large mills
has been moved bodily from the old
mill buildings in New England to
new mill buildigs in the South for
no reason whatsoever other than
the allaround superiority of Southern
mill help. But the Wall Street
Journal's writer spills the beans before
he goes very far in his discussion.
Says he: "Northern mills
seeking expansion are looking to
the South, of course, because NewEngland
is somewhat crowded."
True sections of New England are
"somewhat crowded." but large
areas are still lying idle. If labor
is wanted, labor can be had. All
other conditions .being favorable,
New England would have to be far
more than "somewhat crowded" to
force so remarkable an exodus of
a great industry as that which the
industry has been executing, especially
when that exodus is from a
section of such great advantages
in climate and skill and energy of
its workers Into one which all factors
excpet the single one of available
space are so adverse as this
dispatch from the Boston News Gureau
would have us believe. There
in that one little sentence is revealed
the whole situation. New England
mill men, driven to a last
stand by Southern competition, very
naturally hang on like grim death
to tlietr existing mill properties, in
which bo much of their wealth haa
been sunk, but wisely refuse to
spend a ??Bf on expanding them,
choosing rather to make their expansions
in a more favored region, Into
which, , eer^tually, if their /New
Englanjj properties / become wholly
unproductive, they or their successors
can eventually migrate.
The reference to New England
mill workers as descended from
skilled ancestors of generations ago
is a huge joke. The New England
natie mill worker of generations ago
long since disappeared from the
mills and have been succeeded in
turn by French-Canadians, then
Greeks, Poles, Lithuanians, Italians
and other aliens, who are very inferior
in every way to the mill
labor of the South. The New England
mill owners fully recognize
this fact.

A well-known , picture dealer
x- Chicago was talking to one of t
?n artists whose output he had exhlfc

town called Tryon, which is one
r- the most attractive spots in tl

Hawrency Mazzanovich took M
a O'Brien's advice, anj in the fall
e 1926 he arrived in Tryon. He hi
i- never regretted this move and 1
has "dared" to register on canvj
1 the brilliant beauty of the hills an
i- valleys of the Blue Kidge.
! Mr. Mazzanovich was born on
I vessel off the California cosat. Hi
- father, a Daimation soldier of fo
II tune, had married a Venetian gentl
t i woman and had wandered about tb
t j world, and even after his family ha
grown in numbers and in the yeai
he carried them from place to Plac
i interferring with a regular educatio
but not with the development c
unusual talent. Two brothers hav
made names for themselves as d(
signers of stage settings, Lawrenc
as an artist, and all of them hav
musical feeling inherited from th
father.
Lawrence studied art in the Chi
cago Art Museum, married Aum
Holden of Chicago, and then studiei
in France for several years. Return
ing to America with his work hi
met with almost iniediate and mark
ed success. Several of his paintingi
have been bought by institutioni
and many are hanging in privati
galleries.
