C, March 14—The textile industry is “so large that import- ant_changes move slowly,” asserted W. M. McLaurine, secretary of the Ameri- can cotton manufacturers’ Association here last night in an address at the ban- 1!:! meeting of committee D-13 of the erican Society of Testing Materials. “At the present time most funda- mental and constructive ideas are si- lently and surely asserting themselves and finding expression in many of the | mills,” he said. Describing the lay of mind as “too busy to comprehend the magnitude and_intricacy and involve- ment,” which the industry must face, Mr. McLaurine said that “most critics are surface readers and know nothing of the basic troubles, or the efforts being put forth to cure them.” The clarion call of the new day and the new conditions must supplant the eat mass of inertia and tradition and fear,” Mr. McLaurine continued.

Ruda and Joseph Psota for return of $3,000, he sald he gave them for pre- war whisky which was to be brought from a Government warehouse in De- troit to be sold here at prices that would double his investment in 10 days.
