Spindles, Vitally Concerned.
Capital
Georgia, with $87,000,000 invested
in 160 cotton mills which operate 2,-
025,000 spindles, is vitally interested
in the schedules of the Underwood
tariff bill which govern the duties
on cotton yarn.
Leading Georgia spinners view the
proposed schedules with no great en
thusiasm. and, on the other hand,
with no great fear.
The effect on Georgia mills, spin
ners agree, will, for the most part,
be indirect. The proposed cut is
heaviest on line yarns, and while
itome fine yarns are spun in the State,
most of the output is coarser num
bers.
Eastern mills spin yams. There
seems to be a fear that the proposed
cut in fine yams will force Amerlcan
mUls in general to turn to coarser
products. This will greatly increase
Georgia s competition, and may cause
losses.
At the convention in Boston just
ended, representatives of the textile
Industry, gathered from all parts of
the Union, said that a reduction In
wages would follow any serious cut
in the tariff.
Georgia spinne s say that decreas
ed wages may be a result, but not
immediately, and that eventually any
cut in .vages is likely to be offset by
a reduced cost of living.
ALL AT SEA.
“1 do not. believe any spinner in
America knows just exactly where he
stands under the proposed tariff
schedules,” says A. F. Johnson, Pres
ident of the Exposition Cotton Mills,
which employ 1,000 person.-; and ope
rate 60,000 spindles.
•‘The proposed rate, however, seems
to me to be a little below the factor
of safety. 1 think spinners can stand
some reduction from the present
schedule, but I think the Underwood
proposals a little too radical.
‘The Georgia Manufacturers Asso
ciation is insisting that the rate be
no lower than the schedule proposed
by Louis Parker of Greenville, S. C.,
who offered a schedule to the Con
gressional Investigating Committee in
January, much below the present rate,
but not as low as the Underwood
bill proposes.
EFFECT INDIRECT.
‘The effect on the Exposition Mills
will be indirect. The competition in
the finer yarns, where the proposed
cut is greatest, will force American
spinners into the coarser, which will
Increase our competition.
“In general, yarns from 10 to JO
are considered coarse, from JO to 40,
medium and from 40 on. fine.
“We spin from lu to 40. There
are mills in the East, and I believe
there is one in Columbus, Ga., spin
ning as high as 90. Thread manu
facturers go even higher.
“I would favor a ‘moderate reduc
tion, to be tried out for a reasonable
length of time. If it proves the mills
can stand a greater cut, let it come.
Of course, it may be that we can do
well enough under the Underwood
bill. It is all a new field.”
BUYERS HESITANT.
“Hesitancy among buyers, who are
holding off In the hope of lower
prices, is the worst trouble the pro
posed new tariff Is bringing us,” says
W. M. Nixon, President of the Atlant
ia Woolen Mills.
•‘We are unable just now to make
contracts. Jobbers think the Under
wood bill may lower prices, so they
will not order. This is a serious
matter, for we cannot regulate our
mtput properly under such circum
stances. It is important that we
make no more than wo can sell, for
goods held over cannot be sold at
fair prices.
“We do not believe that tin tariff
will affect our industry directly. 1C
1s possible that it may affect it In
directly, in this way:

Railway Has Citijens’ Committee
Investigate and Help Place
Blame for Accidents.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
The Central uf Georgia has inau
gurated a plan of investigating wrecks'
In which persons are injured that is
meeting with great favor along its
routes, and winning for it many frank
expressions of approbation and com
mendation.
Recently a passenger train was de-
J railed at Lnvejoy, und the < entrai
promptly called In a committee or cit
izens, selected from the immediate
vicinity of ilie wreck, to assist in
clearing tip the blame in so far as it |
might be cleared up.
This board, after a fair inquiry, de
cided that the wreck came about
through a broken rail, and the road
accepted the verdict as just and right.
Not only has this greatly pleased
the people affected by this wreck,
which Was a relatively, small one, but
it has' made them more friendly to
the road than ever before. They say
they never will have any trouble get
ting along if the road meets them in
that *x>rt of spirit always.
It is understood that the Central
proposes to adopt this plan whenever
it can in the future, and there can be
little* doubt it will make for a better
and rhore cordial understanding be
tween the road and the public.
In every Georgia Legislature there
is a contingent of anti-railroad legis
lators. ready to back any old . hing
that has an anti-railroad twist. Man.,
of these men are persons who hav
come in contact once or
the railroad.- in their ol
i iveness concerning wrecks.
Whereas it in’od to be the policy o!
tin* roads to close up like clams when
ever a wreck occurred and to tell
nothing, they now are insisting upon
telling just as much as thev can H 11.
By inviting citizens to as-tot them ii
getting at the truth, ami roads are
able to establish the facts in a non- i
partisan way, and the resulting story
of the wreck is accepted as thy 1
truth of it.
