Textile group opposes net profit formula in cotton textiles
Atlanta reporters say on April 26 the cotton manufacturers' association urged opposition to the OPA net profit formula for ceiling prices in cotton textiles. The group passed a resolution claiming the formula denies a just profit margin and criticized the wage scheduling by the war labor board. Charles A. Cannon, elected board chairman, said the industry will support soldiers and aim to provide jobs in peacetime. Cannon, president of Cannon Mills, noted duties mirror the former president’s role. W. P. Jacobs of Charlotte named executive head.
