"The line will be in such shape that
tho municipality cannot be dumped if

Lincoln Cromwcl1, president of the
Nntional Associntlon of Hosiery nnd
Fnderwenr Mtiiiiifacturcrs, today charg
ed responsibility for high prices in
underwear and storklugs lo cotton yarn
spinners. He spoke before the con
vention of th nt organization which
opened this morning nt the Manufac
turers' Club.
"The profiteering landlord xvho boosts
nnts lf0 per cent has n heart com
pared with cotton yarn spinners, whose
prices uro from 4Vi to 7 times those
of 1015," Mr. Cromwell said. "Any
attempt to justify the present yarn
prices on the basis of fair profits,
must explain away the 100 per cent
stock dividends declared by spinning
mills."
Mr. Cromwell expressed the opinion
that high prices generally were not
the result of individual schemiug, hut
"the deviltry of war."
""War has demonetized wealth." he
wild. "In hosiery prices $1 Is worth
only forty cents on an average. A dol
lar is worth only twenty cents in
women's mercerized stockings and
twenty-four cents In women's cotton
stockings.
