A 1918 Economic Journal article describing how British Government control reshaped the wool textile industry during the First World War. It outlines the pre-war structure of woollen, worsted, hosiery and carpet manufacture, with a table of workers, firms and machinery by district. It then covers requisitioning and pricing of war goods, purchase of the Australasian wool clip, labour supply and women's employment, allocation of contracts, reduced working hours, rationing of wool, tops and yarn, and the Board of Control. It also treats export licensing to the Allies, control of wool waste, and prospects for postwar trade.
