Storm Warnings Up
For Yankee Textiles
j By RICHARD CTSKE
POSTON — (JPh- Storm warnings
are flying for the Textile Industry
but most manufacturers believe
they 1 !! weather the gale.
7ue boom days for Textiles are
ever. Many manufacturers think»
readjustment from wartime to
peacetime economy has pretty well
levelled off for the time being.
They say profit margins will be
smaller; competition will be keen;
tome marginal mills will fade out.
But generally, they add, the out
look is good.
Signs of rough going first crop
ped up in New England, where the
industry had its beginnings. And
ir. addition to readjustments, New
fogiand felt the pinch of competi
tion from lower cost areas.
That competition, however, is not
new to New England.
Many mills have answered the
South’s call of lower taxes, nearness
to the cotton fields and lower op
«»ating costs.
There have been monetary out
cries when some particularly large
mill has abandoned New England.
And many smaller mills have drift
ed away with little notice of their
leaving *
Now Royal Little says his $125,
009.000 Textron Corporation is do
ing some moving too, for what he
calls lower operating costs and
higher productivity in the South.
This has sent the sorm warnings
up and Textile men are digging in
post of them with the avowed mir
’ose of staying right In New Eng
land. I
Evert the most optimistic New j
England manufacturer agrees that]
they must be their toes to meet 1
on
the latest challenge form the South.
They, ask the cooperation of labor,
I’.dltties and municipalities and,
stete governments In meeting the
threat.
Gilbert Verney, president o i the
Vemey Textile Corporation, called
for relief from federal taxation for
New England utilities and asked
northern communities “to meet the
mx advantages” offered by the
Pouth.
“A company owned by its stock
holders cannot decide to keep a
plant in New England out of senti
ment alone,” Verney said.
He said his concern has had
many proposals recently from £od
tliefn civic associations. Most of
there offered to construct a mill to
the company’s specifications for
long term leave at low rental and
with various tax concessions.

Griffin Expects To Sign
Team Manager Soon
President Louis George and Sec
retary Hartford Green of the Onf
fin Baseball Club will attend the
meeting of the National Association
of Professional Basbali Clubs in
Milwaukee Dec. 5.
This meeting will be attended by
thousands officials of pro
fessional teams ranging all the way
from the Big Leagues down to Class
D Leagues.
Th Griffin officials are expected
to sign a contract with a manager
tor the 1949 team at the meeting.
They are in contact with a man
they believe can give Griffin a win
ning club and this prospective man
ager will meet them in Milwaukee
and if signed will assist in getting
players for the club.
The prospective manager Is a
former Big League star and has had
two years managerial experience in
Cluss C baseball. He is an Infielder.
Meanwhile the local club is negot
iating with several players who
have been recommended by scouts
cf several Class A and AA clubs
who are helping the local club
line up a 1949 badball team.
The manager whom Griffin will
more than likely sign should “pro
ven the sort of manager we have
teen looking for, one who can, be
cause of his connections, line up a
lot of promising playyers and
can, bcauae of his experience, deve -
lop them into a winning team,”
said Green.
The local officials do not want to
announce the name of the man
they are considering for manager
until the final papers have been
signed.

They came out of the huddle
ostensibly grumbling about the pen
alty and generally milling arqund in
disgust.
One boy ‘ announced in a loud

The center handed him the bal>
and he started pacing off the yards
cnemoniously to mock the official
The Texas City boys were quite a

The Austin boy had “penalixed”
22 yards before one of the Texas
