SILK AN INDUSTRY OF INDIA
One Million People In the Great East
ern Country Engaged In its
Production.

There are 100000 people in India
engaged in the production of silk. Cat
erpillars and moths of the mulberry
silk industry of India are entirely do
mesticated creatures. The Indians
collect the cOcoOns spun by caterpil-
lars and allow them to hatch, an ex-
change states. The females are kept
until they lay eggs and when the cater
pillars are large enough they are placed
on trees to feed. When tree
is stripped piece of cloth is hung
from limb and the caterpillars crawl
onto 1t and are moved to another tree.
Tasar or tussOr silk comes from
China and Japan. Muga silk is prod
uct Of Assam. Fri silk comes from
caterpillars which feed on the castor
oil plant. 1t is of great value in In
dia, because 1t is the only silk that
can be spun from cocOons without kill
ing the insects in the cocoons and is
therefore the only silk that can be
worn by a strict Hindu.

FEDERAL CONTROL
 IS SERIOUS TASK
Political and Economical Effect of Government Operation is Injurious-New Threats Are Made.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The threat of a railroad strike continues to spread throughout the country, despite the efforts of the organized labor heads to hold the men in check until authori- tative and official strike votes can be taken.
 Shopmen everywhere throwing down their tools in premature strike, it was reported, were threatening na- tional industry, because without them the railroads equipment cannot be kept in useable order at the most necessary of all times-crop moving season.
 Above that lowered the threat of an even more serious labor situation, the demand of all the organized rail- road industry that the profits of the business be overhauled to retire pri- vate capital and create new tri- partite control.
 Reports began coming in today say- ing that unless railroad equipment can be kept in running order, mills, mines and factories will be threatened with closing. It was reported that there are more than 100000 cars now out of commission.
 Formal announcement was made to- night of the final tabulations in the referendum conducted among business men by the chamber of commerce of the United States on the question of government ownership of railroads. More than 99 per cent of the vote, the official announcement said, was against it.
 Meanwhile threats of hundreds of thousands of railroad employees to go on strike to force higher wages to meet the high cost of living are being reiterated. From many parts of the country today came reports that strik- ing shopmen refused to return to work, despite the fact that their ac- tion was denounced as illegal by the executive council of the six shop crafts. Strike ballots were mailed out from the American Federation of Labor for taking an official vote as to whether the 500,OO0 shopmen shall walk out to obtain their demands and express their disapproval of President Wilson's reference of the railroad wage question to congress. Demands also are being made by 450,000 clerks, freight handlers and station employees. Director Hines was to have discussed their problems today with J. J. For rester, grand president of the union, but other business interferred and the conference will be held tomorrow. Business men of the country as rep resented in the chamber of commerce of the United States favor private ownership of the railroads.
