THREATEN TO CLOSE MILL8 Silk Manufacturers Complain of Dull­ ness In Trade HOW KOT TO CUT. A GOOD WAY TO CUT. New York, April 21.—A general shutdown of the silk mills in Paterson and other parts of New Jersey and in Pennsylvania Is threatened as a result of the paucity of orders for the fall trade. The manufacturers talk of clos­ ing their mills next month and not re­ suming operations until September unless business revives, a contingency which they now scarcely expect. It is said that the conditions are such that practically all the mills will be obliged either to curtail production much more than at present or shut down entirely. Orders now on hand are said to be barely sufficient for the looms until the middle of May. Most of the silk men ascribe the dullness in trade to such causes as the presidential election, unfavorable weather and the reduction In deman 1 for the higher-priced fabrics because of the general financial conditions. should be sawed off eighteen indies or two fed above, the point of its origin in order to prevent splitting down and tearing off u considerable portion of bark. After the weight of the branch has been lessened by cutting away the main part a second cut can lie made and the stub held in position until the cut is completed, thus preventing the splitting down and tearing of the bark, which is likely to result from the care­ less removal of large branches. The evil results of splitting can frequently be overcome by cutting first on the un­ derside of the limb and then upon the upper side, so that the breaking of the tissue occurs near the middle of the wound instead of at one side. When Dolliver Declares America this is the case, tearing and splitting Committed to Protection. seldom occur.
