ATM I President Charles F. Myers, Jr., of Greensboro, blamed the Vietnam war, imports and inflation for the declines. He said the long-range outlook for the industry is good and its rate of growth will be closely tied to conditions in the general economy. He cited figures showing that the past decade has been a pood one overall for the industry. Mr. Myers said that during the 1960's, textile production increased by 47 percent, sales jumped from $1!1.7 billion to $21.1 billion, employment increased by more than 60,000, hourly wages increased 50 per cent, minority employment more than 200 per cent and nearly $H billion was invested in new plants and equipment. "The industry is faced with problems,' Mr. Myers said, "import competition, a cost-price squeeze, u shrinking labor force and tight money. But, overall ; 4 ; t, n of 11 la III CI {JUOlllUll LU achieve a more desirable rate of growth and prosperity during the decade of the seventies."
