TEXTILE PROBLEM
HIGHER SKIRTS.
AT HIGHER PRICES.
LAMENTING MANUFACTURERS. ! :• (Received .10.25 a.m.) ' ' - LONDON, February 24. The Yorkshire West Riding .textile manufacturers are seriously perturbed at the further reduction of women's skirts. Mr Elmsley, president of the Textile Institute, in a statement said that wool was at present dear and the prices of fabrics had gone up to meet this. Dress designers had used less material recently, and so had increased the price of cloth, upon which the dress designers had said it would be necessary to use a quarter .of a yard less in a dress in order to avert an increase in the retail cost. Other manufacturers point out that every inch skirts are shortened means a corresponding curtailment in employment at the mills. Higher prices cause higher skirts. —A. and N.Z.
