Electrical Industry Doubled
In Five Years, Says Report
Long Distance Transmission Plants Show Large Growth
Division of Manufactures Busy With Stats
tics on Cotton.

The electrical Industry in the United
States has more than doubled within
the last five years, as is evidenced b.
the reports already received by the
division OF manufactures from the force

This subject
The field work on the inquiry is COM
pleted. except in a few instances where
some Of the large companies have been
unable to complete their reports. There
is a small force of less than a half
dozen special agents still in the field
assisting with the reports that have
been delayed, and it is expected that
all the data will soon be on file.
The reports already received are being
rapidly tabulatcd. One Of the interest
ing features Of the investigation is the
disclosure that there has been a very
large growth in what are known as the
lOng-distance transmission plants. or
such plants as receive their current
from PARKWAY places, such as the falls
of the Niagara, and other natural cur
rent generators that have come TO be
largely used in recent years.
The division of manufactures is also
busy with a report on the supply and
distribution Of cotton. which is pub
Hshed in bulletin form once a year.
This bulletin viii show the extent OF
the cotton and allied Industries, the
product Of the gins, how much of the
cotton is consumed in the manufactures
