INDIAN RUG MANUFACTURE.
American Control Large Number OF
Factories.

Consul General William II. Michael
reports from Calcutta that American
enterprise within the last few years
has given an impetus to the manufac-
ture OF rugs In India.
In 1865 there We're manufactured
in India and exported carpets and
rugs TO the value of sl.900,000, OF which
Sl,500,0 900 in value went to, the United
Kingdom and 100000 I'm value to the
United States Most OF the finest rugs
that were shipped to the United States,
of Indian manufacture, were made In
factories controlled by American capi-
tai. one firm alone controls 10 fac
tories, one each In Kashmir. Hyderabad
and Sikklm, the others being scattered
over two-thirds OF India. This firm en-
ploys $4,000 people, half OF whom are
females engaged In spinning and the
other half on the hand looms.
Practically all OF the rugs made by
this firm are manufactured on designs
that were worked out In the United
States, and are intended TO meet the
American demand. The colors used are
indigenous, purely vegetable. and are
prepared upon formulas that have been
handed down for centuries from father

It's manufacturing In the United States,
but Il has been found to be impossible
to induce any considerable number OF
expert rug makers 10 emigrate to the
United States even II there were no le-
gal difficulties In the way, and 1t Is i'm
possible TO induce Americans to engage
In making rugs by hand as they are
made In India. 80 that II should be
matter OF genuine pride to Americans
to know that their countrymen are
leading in the enterprise of rug max
ing In India and are the first to enter
the domain Of Tibet to engage In man
ufacturing.
While the rugs are not of purely ORR
entail design, yet to a cultivated taste
they are much more artistic than the
oriental rugs. This firm, however, Is
able TO initiate the antique oriental de-
sign so perfectly that the only differ.
ence discernible to the average person
would be possibly the the higher finish
os the limitations. There would be
the same number OF knots TO the square
inch. the same colors, prepared OF the
same ingredients, aud the same designs

Pittsburg. Dec. s.-The dispute be-

centering In Plttsburg and their EN-
pioyes over the scale for ynrdmen has
arrived Mt the critical stage aud unless
a settlement liz reached within day
or 20 fears are entertained Of n general

the Baltimore & Ohio are already

arranged for today With the general

Of the vote on this question by the

The Plttsburg & Lake Erie officials
arc understood to have agreed TO pay

the trainmen will accept this scale UNI

to similar proposition. The middle

w G. Lee vice grandmother of the
Brotherhood Of Trainmen, who has
charge OF the Pittsburg district de-
Clines TO discuss the matter ftrther
than TO say the prospects for a settle
ment are not as bright as they might
be, The tranmen, he said, had voted
ON the question and agreed TO demand
the Chicago scale. The wages in the
pittsburg district, Mr. Lee said are
much lower timn IN other districts.
The condition OF traffic affairs In the
Plttsburg district has reached that
stage where shippers are moro than
anxious as TO the outcome Of the con-
ferences today. The freight traffic in
this district was never heavier than at
the present time and strike Of the
yardmen would mean complete tie-up
OF all freight trains.
