The aim of this paper is to analyze the way to construct the production organization with Power room factory in the Bisai area. During the WWI, the demand for woolen fabric rapidly increased, so the weavers changed the main products from cotton fabrics or silk-cotton fabrics to woolen fabrics. At the same time, a lot of modern factories with power rooms were born. Since the 1920s, as western clothes spread in Japan, the demand for woolen fabrics has increased more and more. Therefore, Suzuki Kamajiro – an influential Textile manufacturer – executed the manufacturing a wide range of products by changing the products in accordance with the season.In addition, Suzuki Kamajiro gave the female workers a role to produce different types of woolen fabrics and paid the salary in proportion to their production and the number of working days. The female workers were motivated to work longer and harder for receiving bonus. The Suzukama-factory recruiters hired female workers from rural areas in Gifu and Mie prefectures, and adapted them to a working environment of the factory by controlling their dormitory life and factory work. As a result, the female workers were trained as factory workers and came to contribute to the factory management. In this way, the Bisai area had developed dramatically as the main production center of woolen textiles in Japan.

This paper aims to examine the factors of the merger between the local cotton-spinning companies in the late Meiji era.Ichinomiya Spinning Company was founded in 1895 by local and Nagoya wealthy persons, and produced gas-thread as its core product. However, its business activity deteriorated because of the depression after the Russo-Japanese War, so Ichinomiya Spinning Company came to depend the debt much more than before. As a result, a large amount of the stocks of Ichinomiya Spinning Company were sold by major stockholders who lived outside the Ichinomiya area.Since the Meiji government recommended the business combination, Masaka Okuda, who was the then president of Owari Spinning Company, formed Bisei-Rengo which was composed of the cotton spinning companies in the Chukyo area, and promoted the mergers. Okuda negotiated with Shinichiro Saburi, who was the then president of Ichinomiya Spinning Company, about the merger plan, and Saburi decided to merge with Mie Spinning Company. At the same time, Mie Spinning Company tried to acquire Chita Spinning Company.However, the merger terms for Ichinomiya Spinning Company were inferior to those for Chita Spinning Company. Therefore, the stockholders of Ichinomiya Spinning Company fiercely opposed to merge with Mie Spinning Company. In the end, the merger negotiations between Ichinomiya Spinning Company and Mie Spinning Company broke down, and Ichinomiya Spinning Company merged with Nihon Spinning Company.In short, the stockholders' will of the merged company played an important role in the merger negotiations between spinning companies. In addition, the corporate merger between Ichinomiya Spinning Company and Nihon Spinning Company helped to control the capital concentration on the big spinning companies and to intensify the competition among spinning companies.

The purpose of this paper is to reconsider the relationship between the chin'ori factories and the wholesale dealers in the interwar period by analyzing the development of business activities of the Fuki shokufu Co. Ltd. in the Chita region. The Chita region is located in the southwest part of Aichi Prefecture. Fuki shokufu was established in September, 1919and was a comparatively large-scale chin'ori factory with 120 power looms.Fuki Shokufu suffered from the long depression after the panic in 1920, as well as many merchants and factories in the Chita. As a result, Fuki shokufu was put in the disadvantageous condition with wholesale dealers. Traditionally, factories have been considered to be always disadvantageous against the wholesale dealers due to shortage of money. However, Fuki shokufu negotiated over terms and conditions with a wholesale dealer and got an advantageous condition. In addition, Fuki shokufu chose another wholesale dealer when negotiations did not reach agreement. So, Fuki shokufu won the benefits.Due to the recession since the financial panic in 1927, Fuki shokufu was driven into suspension of business because of the short-term business relationship with wholesale dealers. However, Fuki shokufu was able to continue the operation on the base of the fund through the stocks recruitment from the village and borrowing from the financial institution. Fuki shokufu maintained negotiations power to wholesale dealers in the basement of strong funds.
