London. Oct. 19.—«Russia's great
pre-war cotton Industry has suffered
to such an extent during the revolu
tion that It la doubtful whether many
of the mills over will be able to
operate again, says 8lr Charles Ma-
cara, an English authority In the
world’s cotton trade, In an Interview
in the Yorkshire Post.
Based upon information obtained
from an Englishman who recently re
turned from Russia, where for 14
years he was the manager of a large
cotton factory near .Moscow, Sir
Charles estimates that of the 9,000,-
000 spindles running In Russia be
fore the revolution not more than
200,000 or 300,000 are now operat
ing.
The experiences of the English
manager of the Moscow factory were
told as an example of the methods
employed by revolutionists In deal
ing with one of (Russia's great Indus
trial assets, the textile factories in
the Moscow district. Thia particu
lar mill carried on nil the processes
from cotton spinning to the finish
ed product, 17,000 workers havlni ■
been employed under normal operat
1ng conditions.
When the bolshevik) assumed
power the whole cotton Industry wa.t
i
nationalised. At every mill commit
teen were formed and finally, in Oc
tober, 1919, a decree was Issued
that all who had been connected with
the former owners would have
leave. With the experts gone,
mill stopped. After a time attempts
were made to re-start it, hut It was
almost Impossible to obtain raw cot
ton. Small quantities were obtain
ed, which after being diluted with 75
per cent waste, was put through the
processes.
The machinery now Is In a very
bad state, In such a state, In fact,
that It would he almost Impossible tj
operate the factory properly, accord
ing to the information given
Charles. Whenever machines
damaged, other machines are denud
ed of parts to repair them.
Sir Charles stated that there was
little possibility of English workmen
going to Russia for employment in
textile factories. Mills In Germans
and Austria were turning out only
from 25 to 30 per rent of the normal
production. ho said, and English
workers faced the almost Impossible
task of making up for the four and a
half years’ stoppage of textile manu
facture owing to the war.

ed to $1,900,226,400 as compared
