Textile Alliance to Co-operate With the War
Trade Board
Plans for the co-operation of the Textile Al-
liance, Inc., with the War Trade Board in the
latter's control of the nation's wool supplies
were discussed the past week in executive ses-
sion at the Waldorf-Astoria. A. M. Patterson,
president of the Textile Alliance, which up to
last week had enjoyed large powers in the super-
vision and distribution of raw wool supplies
brought into the United States, which powers
are now taken over by the Government board,
presided. Thomas M. Woolley and H. L. An-
derson, members of the War Trade Board, em-
phasized the necessity for a strict conservation
and distribution of wool for military and civilian
requirements, together with the imperative need
of putting an end to speculation and hoarding.

It is the opinion of those in close touch with
affairs at Washington that as a result of the
hearings now being held in that city there will
be a readjustment of prices on steel and copper
that is expected to amount to a downward re-
vision. The steel and copper interests are mak-
ing strong efforts to secure a higher price scale
for their products, but it is believed that the
final action will tend toward the other direction.
It has been suggested that the manufacturers
using steel and copper in any quantities might
do well to order only enough for immediate
needs on the chance that they may be able to
buy at lower prices in the near future.
