RAW COTTON
In Austria Hungary So Scarce
as to Limit Output of Ma
teriaIS for Army.
Correspondence of Associated Press)

Correspondence Of Associated Press.)
VIENNA, Feb. Sowing to govern
mental restrictions in the manufacture
Of cotton goods, large number of
factories in Austria-Hungary have
closed down. Only those establish
ments continue running which are
making materials for the army, and
owing to the shortage Of raw cotton
even their output is limited. Hitherto
the manufacturers have been assisting
the unemployed but the general sit
uation has now become so serious that
the governments in Vienna and Buda-
pest have been forced to come to the
rescue Of the workers. Both have
agreed to grant subventions, under
the supervision of joint commission
composed OF representatives Of the
manufacturers and workers, and offic-
ials from the ministries Of the inter
ior, finance and commerce.
