NO RIVAL OF NATURAL
TESTS OF ARTIFICIAL WOOL.
(BHITED PRBS9 ASSOOIATIOS-COPJWOBT.) (AUSTRALIAK-NBW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, 31st January. Colonel Willey, of Bradford, whose firm has been experimenting with the synthetic fibre called artificial wool, says they have been doing so mainly with tho idea of seeing if more work could be provided for textile operatives, and the fact that the new material could be manipulated on the existing machinery was of immense importance to Bradford. His firm had made several fabrics entirely from the new fibre. Colonel Willey's view is that the fibre cannot bo regarded as a rival to natural wool; but it must not be lightly regarded, especially if it is going to set some of the standing machinery at Bradford moving again.
