Item 1.Security and Issuer
The class of equity securities to which this statement on
Schedule 13D relates is the Common Stock, no par value per share
("Securities"), of Shaw Industries, Inc. (the "Issuer"), a Georgia
corporation, with principal offices located at 616 E. Walnut Ave.,
Dalton, Georgia 30720.
Item 2. Identity and Background
This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli ("Mario
Gabelli"), Marc J. Gabelli ("Marc Gabelli") and various entities which
either one directly or indirectly controls or for which either one
acts as chief investment officer. These entities, except for Lynch
Corporation ("Lynch"), Spinnaker Industries, Incorporated
("Spinnaker"), Western New Mexico Telephone Company ("Western New
Mexico"), Entoleter, Inc. ("Entoleter"), Lynch Telecommunications
Corporation ("Lynch Telecom"), Lynch Telephone Corporation ("Lynch
Telephone"), Lynch Interactive Corporation ("Interactive"), Brighton
Communications Corporation ("Brighton") and Inter-Community Telephone
Company ("Inter-Community") (collectively, "Lynch and its
affiliates"), engage in various aspects of the securities business,
primarily as investment adviser to various institutional and
individual clients, including registered investment companies and
pension plans, as broker/dealer and as general partner of various
private investment partnerships. Certain of these entities may also
make investments for their own accounts.
The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own
beneficially more than 5% of a class of equity securities of a
particular issuer. Although several of the foregoing persons are
treated as institutional investors for purposes of reporting their
beneficial ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the holdings of
those who do not qualify as institutional investors may exceed the 1%
threshold presented for filing on Schedule 13G or implementation of
their investment philosophy may from time to time require action which
could be viewed as not completely passive. In order to avoid any
question as to whether their beneficial ownership is being reported on
the proper form and in order to provide greater investment flexibility
and administrative uniformity, these persons have decided to file
their beneficial ownership reports on the more detailed Schedule 13D
form rather than on the short-form Schedule 13G and thereby to provide
more expansive disclosure than may be necessary.

more of the following persons: Gabelli Group Capital Partners, Inc.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Each of the Reporting Persons, with the exceptions of Lynch
and its affiliates, has purchased and holds the Securities reported by
it for investment for one or more accounts over which it has shared,
sole, or both investment and/or voting power, for its own account, or
both.
The Reporting Persons, with the exceptions of Lynch and its
affiliates, are engaged in the business of securities analysis and
investment and pursue an investment philosophy of identifying
undervalued situations. In pursuing this investment philosophy, the
Reporting Persons analyze the operations, capital structure and
markets of companies in which they invest, including the Issuer, on a
continuous basis through analysis of documentation and discussions
with knowledgeable industry and market observers and with
representatives of such companies (often at the invitation of
management). The Reporting Persons do not believe they possess
material inside information concerning the Issuer. As a result of
these analytical activities one or more of the Reporting Persons may
issue analysts reports, participate in interviews or hold discussions
with third parties or with management in which the Reporting Person
may suggest or take a position with respect to potential changes in
the operations, management or capital structure of such companies as a
means of enhancing shareholder values. Such suggestions or positions
may relate to one or more of the transactions specified in clauses (a)
through (j) of Item 4 of the Schedule 13D form, including, without
limitation, such matters as disposing of one or more businesses,
selling the company or acquiring another company or business, changing
operating or marketing strategies, adopting or not adopting, certain
types of anti-takeover measures and restructuring the company's
capitalization or dividend policy.
Each of the Reporting Persons intends to adhere to the
foregoing investment philosophy with respect to the Issuer. How-ever,
none of the Reporting Persons intends to seek control of the Issuer or
participate in the management of the Issuer, and any Reporting Person
that is registered as an investment company under the l940 Act will
participate in such a transaction only following receipt of an
exemption from the SEC under Rule l7D-l under the l940 Act, if
required, and in accordance with other applicable law. In pursuing
this investment philosophy, each Reporting Person will continuously
assess the Issuer's business, financial condition, results of
operations and prospects, general economic conditions, the securities
markets in general and those for the Issuer's securities in
particular, other developments and other investment opportunities, as
well as the investment objectives and diversification requirements of
its shareholders or clients and its fiduciary duties to such
shareholders or clients. Depending on such assessments, one or more
of the Reporting Persons may acquire additional Securities or may
determine to sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of its holdings
of Securities. Although the Reporting Persons share the same basic
investment philosophy and although portfolio decisions are made by or
under the supervision of Mario Gabelli, the investment objectives and
diversification requirements of various clients differ from those of
other clients so that one or more Reporting Persons may be acquiring
Securities while others are disposing of Securities.
With respect to voting of the Securities, the Reporting
Persons have adopted general voting policies relating to voting on
specified issues affecting corporate governance and shareholder
values. Under these policies, the Reporting Persons generally vote
all securities over which they have voting power in favor of
cumulative voting, financially reasonable golden parachutes, one share
one vote, management cash incentives and pre-emptive rights and
against greenmail, poison pills, supermajority voting, blank check
preferred stock and super-dilutive stock options. Exceptions may be
made when management otherwise demonstrates superior sensitivity to
the needs of shareholders. In the event that the aggregate voting
position of all joint filers shall exceed 25% of the total voting
position of the issuer then the proxy voting committees of each of the
Funds shall vote their Fund's shares independently.
Each of the Covered Persons who is not a Reporting Person
has purchased the Securities reported herein as beneficially owned by
him for investment for his own account or that of one or more members
of his immediate family. Each such person may acquire additional
Securities or dispose of some or all of the Securities reported herein
with respect to him.
Other than as described above, none of the Reporting Persons
and none of the Covered Persons who is not a Reporting Person has any
present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any
transaction, change or event specified in clauses (a) through (j) of
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest In Securities Of The Issuer
(a) The aggregate number and percentage of Securities to
which this Schedule 13D relates is 9,215,450 shares, representing
7.42% of the 124,111,208 shares outstanding as reported as being

the sole power to vote or direct the vote and sole power to
dispose or to direct the disposition of the Securities reported
for it, either for its own benefit or for the benefit of its
investment clients or its partners, as the case may be, except
that (i) Gabelli Funds has sole dispositive and
voting power with respect to the shares of the Issuer held by the
Funds so long as the aggregate voting interest of all joint
filers does not exceed 25% of their total voting interest in the
Issuer and, in that event, the Proxy Voting Committee of each
Fund shall respectively vote that Fund's shares, (ii) at any
time, the Proxy Voting Committee of each such Fund may take and
exercise in its sole discretion the entire voting power with
