The following article is the sixth of a serics showing how industrial conditions in foreign countries affect American workmen. Merwin H.

Because of ruthless Japanese competition, fostered by starvation and & depreciated currency, it become the American “tattered” industry. nce these rags covered riches. To- day, the tatters cover a torn industry, reduced to a shambles by foreign manu- facturers, who, despite s 40 per cent ad valorem American tariff hurdle, have all but forced the domestic manufac- turer completely from his home market.

These figures show: 1—Because of the 'l’z'x:m:i compafltl:fii total sales of the entire domestic industry dropped from $200,000,000 in a year to $40,000,000 last year. The weekly wage in the domestic industry dropped from an average of 25 to an average of $18. 3—The domestic Oriental rug indus- try has been practically eliminated. In 1922, only 220,000 square yards of this type rug were imported from abroad. It is expected that final figures will show the total import of these rugs dur- ing 1932 was 7,000,000 square yards. 4 Pive years ago, there were 149 American concerns manufacturing the “hit or miss” variety of rag rug. To- day, due to the Japanese competition, there are not more than five such con- 5—Five years ago, more than 100,000 Americans manufactured rag rugs in their homum}lot & home manufactures these rugs today. 6—A lgra.ss rug manufacturer, in sworn testimony in the files of the Treasury Department, declares: “If something is not done to curtail impor- tations our mills practically will not be open for Spring business. We are being driven from our own market.” Undersell Americans. Simple arithmetic affords the an- |swer to why the Japanese and other foreign rug manufacturers are making |'of the domestic rug manufacturer & | “vanishing American.” It is not diffi cult to understand why & Japanese rag rug, 24x36 inches, and landed here, duty paid, at 10 cents, should take the market from an American made tug, similar in size and texture, which alone costs nearly 36 cents to make, even though the American rug is heavier, ! will wear longer, and i¢ manufactured under absolutely sanitary conditions. | To meet such radical conditions the | American rug_manufacturers took rad- {ical action. Determined to present a | | united front in their plea for assistance |to the American Government, these competitors got. together for the first time and revealed trade secrets to one another for mutual protection. For instance, it costs one American grass manufacturer $6.60 to make & rug 9x12 feet, The Japahese manufac- turer lands an identical rug here, duty | id, for $3.50. The 8x10-foot Amer- can rug costs $4.89 to produce. The same Japanese rug is landed here, duty paid, for $2.60. The 6x12-foot Amer- ican rug costs $440 to produce. An | identical Japanese s landed here at $2.34. The 4.6x75-foot rug, American made, costs $2.06 to produce. The Japanese rug is landed at $1.07. he American grass rug industry in- vestment is approximated at $20,000,- 000.
