RULER OF THE WORLD
Fashion's Caprices Bring Chaos In Industry. MANUFACTURER'S PLEA. (Received 9.80 a.m.) LONDON", April 1. "The fate of the linen and other trades depends ehtirely on the world's ruler, namely, woman," said Mr. W. Faraday, manufacturer, advocating protection for Home industry. "Woman's fashions have been revolutionised since the war," he said. "She has abandoned embroideries and laces on lingerie, and she now wears artificial silk. Swiss manufacturers, previously the producers of laces and embroideries, faced with bankruptcy, converted their machinery and made household linens and handkerchiefs, which were formerly' almost a North of Ireland monopoly. "As regards the British market, British manufacturers are unfairly handicapped." He added: "Women's fashions are utterly irresponsible and fantastic." —(Sydney "Sun.")
