The Supply and Demand Forces in Textile Mills
The old law of supply and demand governs the business world and will persist as long as textile production, including cotton, wool, and silk, lags behind demand. Mills in the United States have only recently resumed civilian goods production, while Germany and Austria lack raw materials and much of France and Belgium’ s weaving capacity remains unreplaced. Labor in Europe and America operates fewer hours, with demands for higher wages rising. leaders in England seek higher pay and U S wool operatives push for longer weeks. Until supply catches demand and looms stop due to no orders, labor costs will not decline.
