ENGLAND RAISES EMBARGO
ON HER OLD RAGS

The recent action of the British au-
th0rities in lifting the embargo on
rags has greatly relieved the situa-
ton for the various felt mills in this
country When Great Britain clamp
ed on the lid shortly after the begin
ming of the war intense alarm was
felt throughout this country by the
felt mills who had depended for years
on foreign rags from which felt for
roofing and other products is made.
The domestic rag business at that time
was not very veil organized but as
the war went on and practically no
foreign rags were to be had. the col
lection and distribution of this impor-
tant raw material was better syste-
matized. nj spite of this fact, how
ever, the last few months has witness
ed such an unprecedented demand for
ready roofiings, that felt makers were
looking forward to a possible short
age of supply in the near future.
While there has been a god supply of
domestic rags to fake care of the felt
mill requirements and while these rags
have been moving freely. the removal
of the embargo has averated any pos
sibility of future shortage.
There are about thirty large felt
mills in this country that use thou
sands of tons of rags annually in max
ing felt for roofing purposes, all Of
whom will be directly benefited by
Great Rritain'S lifting thp embargo
= has been pointed out, however,
that this new supply will not tend to
lower the price of finished ready roof
ing because the greatly increased de-
mand for this material and the inabil-
ity of the felt mills to fill the orders
