An article from the trade journal Textiles (July 1919) arguing for federal legislation against misbranding of merchandise. It favors the Barkley Misbranding Act, modeled on the British Merchandise Marks Act, over "shoddy" labeling bills, and summarizes the bill's main provisions. Shorter pieces follow: a critique of the American Red Cross for turning surplus knitting yarn into cloth and blankets at a cost above market value, and a note on a weekly repair-shop time-table form for textile mill managers.
