SOUTHERN COTTON SPINNERS.
Beard of Governors of the Associa

Charlotte, N. C.. September 3 —At a .
called meeting of the board of governors •
of the Southern Cotton Spinners' Asso
ciation last night a report was received
i from the special committee which vis- I
' ited Philadelphia last week to confer
' with the yarn commission men. The re-
I port, which was adopted, recommended
i a curtailment in the present production
I of yarn for a period of sixty days,
i The report is in the form of a joint
I lettek from the representatives of the
j southern spinners and the yarn commis
sion men and has been approved by both
organizations.
A report was also received from the
special committee which has visited the
various southern mills to secure their
co-operation in a direct selling move
ment. This report recommends the con
centration of the business in not more
than ten different houses. This report,
which was also adopted, says in part:
"After a careful an sis. both of the
plan of direct sellitu. id concentration
of business into the uands of a limited
number of commission houses, we would
recommend as an improvement on ex
isting conditions that the business be
concentrated into the hands of not ex
■ ceeding ten commission houses, and beg
to advise you that we have had a <<>n
f-r-nee with a number < 1 hading com
mission merchants. Eighty per cent f
those consulted have ottered to cO-Opei'-
ate with us in tins plan arid to cond at
the business on a basis of commission
i
discount, provided seventy-live JH'V cent
of a.ulhorn earn spinners will enter if'o
an agr. • rnent to concentrate their entil'd
! business as outlined.”
i A letter, which will contain the details
j of the proposition to concentrate the
busin. ss. will be mailed to every cot: ci
yarn mill in the south. It will be ’ I
lowed by a personal visit should such bb
i necessary; "but, says the repo: ..
in view of the f n- s to •' •> ri 1
by the plan in view, we anticipate :r -
I mediate and hearty co-operation.” By
the beginning of the year the rcp.i t
i concludes, it is exi«‘<'tcd to see this m >
