Union Agitation
Could Close Mill
Union agitation is continuing
at Guadalupe Valley Cotton
Mills in spite of the fact that the
local manufacturing firm con *
tunics to Jose money.
Inventories are high and or-
ders are down, according to A.
Frank Kelley, general manager
of Lone Star Textiles Inc., own-
ed by Otto Goedecke of Hallet-
tsville.
Kelley said today Guadalupe
Valley Cotton Mills has approx-
imately 500,000 pounds of mi -
terials in its warehouses In ex-
cess of what’s required to fill
orders on hand.
"By rights,** Kelley said, "We
ought to dose down for seven
weeks. If it were my business,
I’d close it down, except far one
thing - I’d lose the good people

men of Cuero would suffer Im-
measurably.
Kelley said orders had to tie
brought here from the Bonhum
mill so that the local mill could
continue to run.
Guadalupe Valley Cotton Mills
will operate a four or five dny
week tor the next few weeks.
Kelley stated flatly and firmly
that "Guadalupe Valley Cotton
Mills has not made a penny
not one — since Goedecke bought
it."
He went on to say, "If over-
head hadn’t eaten us up last
March we would have made a
profit for the first time.’
Kelley stated the mill was
having to sell much of its pro-
ducts below cost. "We’ve got to
get ride of our inventories one
way or the other,” he added.
The genrai manager said a
series of meetings with emplo-
yees Is planned in the near fu-
ture.
It was considered to close the
plant last Christmas,* Kelley
said. "I felt that with a few
breaks we could get the plant
on a paying basis. It’s been a
struggle, and we didn’t get the
breaks we thought we’d get.
Sinoe Christmas, Kelley said
Goedecke had asked him twice
what he thought about closing
the plant. Kelley said he told
the owner the first time that he
didn't think he’s had quite en-
ough time on which to base a
decision.

IF WE’RE GOING to go all-
out to promote deer hunting in
DeWitt County, we ought to set
up a deer-klUkig contest loo.
Several people have made
statements similar to that since
reading that the Oram her of
Commerce directors are think-
ing in terms of pushing deer
leases to attract outside people
and their money.
A total of 1.746 deer were kill-
ed In DeWitt County last sea-
son, according to Game Warden
Bill Drehr.
That total included 1.105
bucks and 641 does.
And we’re told that the deer
population is still increasing.
LOTS OF PLACES hold deer
contests.
They usually have about three
categories — open division, wo-
men's division and youngsters’
division.
In the open division, prizes
are offered for the buck with
the most points, the heaviest
buck and the buck with the
widest spread.
