40,000 WORKING
IN FRENCH MILLS
Textlie Industries that Were Damaged
by German Shells are Now In Full
Operations.
Lille, France, Dec. 24.-Forty thou
sand persons are at. 'work in the
French textile mills which only a few
months ago were razed or looted by
the Germans of their wonderfully del
icate machinery. The correspondent
of the Associated Press was given the
facts with reference to this industry
today by French authorities who have
arranged -x trip to show him the
strides made by the nation in recon
struction.
Within a year, government oflicials
and manufacturers agree, production
of textiles will reach half of the pre
war total, and within two years, these
men forecast, the 1911 output iWill be
surpassed.
The -wool industry is said to be re
covering most rapidly. with cotton in
second :place. LInen weaving is re
ported to he slowest in getting back
to normal because of the shortage of
flax, formerly obtained from Russia.
'In Lille and the adjoining cities of
Roubaix and Turcoing, where tile tex
tile manufacturers are centered, It is
estimated '0,000 men, women and chil
dren now are busied with combing,
spinning and weaving, and approxi
mately 10,000 are employed In the
smaller mills of surnounding towns
where pro:Cress iN slower but is be
ing wushed with equal vigor.
Statistics compiled by the govern
ment from necessarily accurate state
ments, upon which factories are paid
reconstruction Indemnities, show that
in the Lill district on October 1st,
last, there were 36,38.1 persons work
ing In 162 textile Plants compared
with 106,061 employed before the war
In 265 factories. In all of the 491
textile milli of the liberated region
thero were employed in August of
this year only 21,027 of the 152,948
persons at work four years ago.
Reconstrucetion of the textile indus
try was declared by manufacturers a
few months ago to be almost a hope
less task. At least they said, it would
be so slow that France would lose
her world trade in. textiles. Now,
however, a brighter view is being
taken, and governemnt figures sho-s
the Industry has reached two-fifths
of normal production. Manufacturers
themselves concede that the output is
at least one-third of that before the
war. All agree that rehabilitation Is
proceeding more rapidly each month
as the looted machinery is being re
turned from Germany or new instal
lations are coming from England and
the United States.
Some of the equipment was not re
moved, but merely damaged, by the
Germans, and this is being repaired.
This Industrial recovery which
seened unimposing at first, has been
made through the combined efforts of
the government and plant ownerr
against (Ilhlemulties that appear mo
formidable the closer they are ex
amined.
D)irect damage to the textile indus
try is eathnia ted by thle in istry of
reconstruct ion at 20,000.000,000 francs.
