Emil Rieve of the Textile Workers Union of America urged a Senate investigation into the industry. He claimed the average price rise for cotton goods from May to August was 25 percent while margins for mill profits shrink as raw cotton costs rise. Industry sources say margins have fallen as costs rise and prices are held. Department of Agriculture data show cotton cloth up 3.90 cents, raw cotton up 5.87 cents, margins down 1.97 cents since January.
