The increase iu the price of men’s and
women’s clothing has kept pace with the
mounting of prices of other coinmodi*
ties since the beginning of the war.
Manufacturers and retailers unite in
placing the blame for the increased noted
and set foith below upon the cloth man-
ufacture-<
The latter defend the elevation in
clothing prices on the ground that raw
material and a nor have increase! in
cost to such an extent that the ms . 'U
of profit on material and output is • mi-
parntivrly narrow arfd that comp-tition
’* so keen as to make anything like prof-
iteering impossible
Clothing is the on? commodity which
is not as yet subject to government reg
uiation as »s true of food/ fuel and
leather. The onk laws that now apply
to profiteering in clothing are tho-j (bat
equally relate to offense: growing out of
conspiracies comblnati* ns in tcj* Hint
of tiade and ex tort io i.

proach to regulation of any sort oy the
government exists .u the purchasing de-
partments of the arny and navy where
competitive bids are called for. and con-
tracts for uniforms and other materials
let to the lowest rer onsible bidders.
As far as the public at large is con-
cerned. there is as yet no protection
against any forms of profiteering other
than those naturally originating from
competitive conditions.
According to figures compiled by the
bureau of statistics of the Department
of Labor the cost of men's clothing has
increased 105.04 per cent since Decem-
ber. 1914. The figures are for the Bal-
timore district and are brought up to
August of this year but they are gener-
ally applicable throughout the east.
Women’s clothing has gone up at even
a faster rate the increase since 1911
being put at 115.29 per cent.
Rise in Clothing Prices.
As an example of the manner in
which prices for men's clothing have
risen in the past four years one impor-
tant manufacturer says that a suit of
clothing which in 1914 sold at wholesale
for $l5 and at retail for $25. cost the
retailer $2O in 1917 and $25 this jenr.
and that the retail price of the same
suit now is $4O. Next year he said
the wholesale price will probably b*
$3O and the retail price about $5O.
All manufacturers complain that cloth
for next year is hard to secure due to
the fact that such a large proportion
of the output of the mills was taken by
the government. What cloth remain*
for civilian use. they say. must be sold
at prohibitive prices. The same manu-
facturer stated that cloth which in 1913
cost $1.50 or $1.75 a yard sold for $2 25
in 1915. for $3.25 in 1917. and this year
—when it can he bought at all—for $4
to $4.50.
Another manufacturer gave some sta-
tistics showing the way in which typical
men’s suits from his stock have in-
creasod in price since 1914. In the rases
of the cheaper suits though th* in-
creases are proportionately greater they
include better workmanship and “find-
ings.” he asserted.
In the following table the wholesale
prices are what the manufa< tnic*
charged: the retail prices are those at
which the clothes would be sold nt an
Most Miles Per Gallon!
That’s what you want in the gasoline you buy. But that’s not what you
get if you let the smooth salesman mislead you by trying to prove his point
with the gravity test.
It is NOT the gasoline with the highest specific gravity that gets the most
miles per gallon—it is the gasoline with the lowest Volatility and the lowest
End Point.

puts the punch into your engine because
it is low in both Volatility and End Point.

which a given quantity of liquid vaporizes.

illustrating the rise in clothing prices
:hat has taken place since last year the
manufacturer said that a suit which he
sold then for $ll and which retailed f.c'
about $lB. is now $15.50 to the retailer
and must be sold by him for from $22.00
to $25. Another suit $l9 wholesale and
$l5 retail is now $l5 and $22.50* it-
sjiectiveiy. .
The cloth out of which the latter suit»
is made cost $1.22 a yard last year.
This year it costs $2.10. Besides that
labor linings buttons thread and
others items connected with the manu-
facture clothing have increased in
price.
The most striking advances however
have been iu the case of cloth. A mauu- j
tacturer stated that in 1914 a certain.
grade of g<»ods cost sl.37*y a yard. On }
this the 10 per cent discount brought
down the price to less than sl.7*). In
the present season however that same'
cloth cost $4.35 a yard with no dis-
count at all and next season if the!
war continues the price will probably ।
go much higher. I
In 1914 serge of fairly good quality ;
could be obtained for $1 a yard or;
IM) cents with tic discount. Today it.
costs $2.10 net. This explains the’
manufacturer asserts wny the blue;
serge suit which in 1914 he^ sold for
$b today costs the retailer $l5.
Raw
for
Where Labor Gains.
Acording to the statistics of the
New lurk State Department of Labor
the average weekly earnings of em-
ployes of clothing factories have in-
creased as follows for the month ot
A V U w York City: 1614 $11.63; 1615
$12.35; 1916 $13.63; 1917 $14.91;
191 b $13.32. State outside New York
City. 1914 $10.39; 1915 $10.95; 1916
$12.19; 1917 $12.95; 1913 $15.17.
Those figures include of ice and oth-
er non-union employes. The wages of
union workers have steadily increased.
For example union cutters iu^this citj
who were earning $24 to $25 a week
in January 1916 are today earning
from $32 to $36 according to the tes-
timony of manufacturers.
Retail dealers iu men's furnishings
confirmed the figures obtained from
manufacturers. They asserted that
they had not advanced the price of
suits and overcoats they carried to
their •replacement value” ami that
the suits they today are selling for WO
could not be put on the market for
less than $35 if the orders had to be
placed with the wholesalers today. They
’(lined with the manufacturers in pre-
dicting another big advance in prices
next spring. ..
The scarcitv of wool has also had its
effect on the woolen underwear market
acording to dealers wino say that a firm
starting in business today would have
difficulty iu obtaining a stock of wool-j
en underwear at any price. 1 rices ot.
that commodity have gone up oO to
per cent. . . . .
In general there have been big in-
creases in the price of all men s fur-
nishings. Collars which formerly sold
two for 25 cents are now 25 cents a
piece. Cotton underwear of standard i
grades which formerly sold for M cents |
a garment now costs 60 cents and the
belief seems to be general that next
season it will sell for $l. Hosiery has
gone up 25 to 50 per cent. Shirts
which formerly cost $2 now cost ...■ -
Hats that used to sell for $4 now |
bring $6. At one time it was possible
to buy nn excellent pair of gloves for
$2; now the better shops do not carry
anv gloves at all cheaper than $...*).
It’is the same story with handkerchiefs
cravats and other items while again the
universal prediction is that the pnees
of all these articles will be still higher
next year. _
Women Must Pay Too.
In the case of women s wear the
same factors have operated to raise
prices. Manufacturers claim that wool
■ns which cost $1.50 a yard in 1914
now cost $3.'50. and that there does
not seem to be any limit to the h<’ l »hts
to which they may rise binee 1914
thev say the cost of labor has increased
50 per cent while it has increased 30
per cent in the past year alone. In
view of these circumstances they ar-
gue. neither manufacturers nor retailers
are making a higher percentage of prof-
it tlia* formerly. A womans suit
which formerly sold wholesale for
822.50 had to sell for $3O last year
and today cannot be offered to the re-
tailer for less than s4o.according to
their testimony. This same proportion
they say. holds good for dresses coots
and waists. ... •„
Indications that the War Industries
Board would soon take up clothing
prices came in Washington despatches
at the time that standard prices were
fixed for footwear. Fixing of prices
Refinery at Gainesville Texas.
for shoes it was said constituted only
one step toward regulation of prices of
all wearing apparel.
Referring to the agreement between
the board and the shoe industry Chair-
man Baruch said at a special meeting
of the National Retail Dry Goods As-
sociation held in Washington on Octo-
ber 3:
“After that will have to come the
regulation and distribution of moat all
of the things which you gentlemen have
to deal with. I don't want you to
say it cau't be done because it must
be done. It is unthinkable that only the
man with the longest pocketbook can
get the things that he needs."
The dry goods retailers were called
upon by Mr. Baruch to take the prod-
uct of "the manufacturer who to
some extent has his prices regulated
and limited amounts allotted to him.”
with the determination to distribute it
"in some fair and equitable way see-
ing that as far as possible each in-
dividual gets his share aud gets it at
a price that is fair.”
"When it comes to a question ot a
fair price” Mr. Baruch continued
"that is very difficult to answer. 1
should say roughly that a fnir price
is a price something like the normal
profits in normal times. I know you
will all say that these are abnormal
times. They are and we have got to do
abnormal and new things.”
The Dry Goods Association appoint-
ed a committee to confer with the War
Industries Board on matters of distri-
bution and price control.
Rapid Advance in Prices.
The advance in shoe prices greater
proportionately in the cheaper grades
has been very rapid since the beginning
of the war in 1914.
When the war demand for leather
first began to be felt on this continent
it was met in the spring of 1915 with
an increase in price of 25 per cent on
cheaper shoes for it was the low
priced leathers that were' in greatest de-
mand abroad. In the fall of that year
leather prices took another tremend-
ous leap upward aud prices of foot-
wear rose accordingly. There was an-
other increase in the spring of 1916.
When the United States declared war
all grades of leather had reached ab-
normal figures but in the fall of 1917
there was a slight recession in price
Now prices are again up to almost theii
highest levels but a drop is expected
in the choicest grades of leather owing
to the recent regulations of the War In-
dustries Board limiting the price of the
new standard shoes to $l2. The $l2
limit is placed upon Grade A shoes
Grade B shoes are limited in price to
$8.50 aud Grade C to $5.50.
Illustrating the manner in which
wholesale prices of shoes have risen a
prominent retailer of New York said
that a shoe which he sold at a fair
profit for $6.50 in 1914 now costs $8.75
wholesale. Another shoe yhich in
1914 cost $7.50 is now no longer car-
ried in his store; it would have to sell
today at $12.50 he asserted. He in-
stanced another shoe no longer sold by
him. In 1914 it cost $l2 but he does
not feel that it would be worth the $lB
he would ask for it now.
Another staple shoe cost $8.50 in
1914. By the fall of 1915 it had gone
up to $9.50 aud before that season was
over it cost $10.50. Today it sells for
$l2 and the dealer says that lie does
not know if he can afford to keep it os
the market at that figure.
Fine Leather Scarce.
"Fine kid leather cost 44 cents n
foot at the beginning of the war” said
he. "Today it costs 68 to 73 cents and
there is not the same selection obtain-
able. Formerly manufacturers buying
at 44 cents selected what they wished:
today they pay the higher figure and
take what is offered. At this very time
an increase is taking place in the price
of children’s shoes which just recently
went up 25 and 30 cents a pair.”
In addition to the increases in ths
price of leather shoe men point out
that labor and practically every other
item has gone up and is still mounting
in price.
High Shoe Price Criticised.
Representatives of the Department
of Justice arrived at Lynn Mass. on
April 28 1917. to find out why eighteen
shoe manufacturers closed their shops
and made more than 15000 workers
idle.
John S. Kent president of the Na-
tional Boot and Shoe Manufacturers
Association said at the meeting of that
organization on January 17 1917 that
the price of shoes would not go down in
1917.
A conference of shoe manufacturers
called in Lynn on December 4 1916.
predicted that the price of shoes would
advance to $2O a pair.
The 20000 members of the United
Shoe Workers of America were urged
in a letter sent out by General Sec-
retary Walsh on November 22. 1916 to
demand higher wages and better work-
ing conditions in view of the largely
increased business expected.

“I was very weakly for three or four

much worse at special times. Every
month I would have to lie in bed for
three or four days.
My chief suffering was in my back.
I could not tell how badly it ached
but it seemed as if it could not pos-
sibly ache worse. Whenever I would
get tired or if I was much on my
feet it would ache. Cardui was all
the medicine I took.
I saw with the first bottle that I
was being benefited but I kept right
on for five bottles regularly. By this
time I was so I could do all my own
work which for some time I had not
been able to do.
That is the only time I ever took
it regularly but I always have it on
hand to use when I do not feel well
and it always helps me.”

modity were piling up but that shoes
were becoming dearer due to a "silent
agreement” among packers importers
and speculators.
Delegates to the National Association
of Tanners held on November 14 1917
declared that the high prices of shoes
were unwarranted by trade conditions.
Tanners and wholesale leather deal-
ers estimated to World reporters on
September 13 1917 that 1300.000 sole
leather hides and about 300.000 hides
suitable for “uppers” were being held
in the metropolitan district.
Julius Rosenwald chairman of the
committee on supplies of the Council of
National Defense replying on July 19.
1917 to criticism of members of the
shoe and leather committee said that
army shoe orders had been awarded to
the lowest bidders.
On July 17 1917 Senator Kenyon
repeated in the Senate the charge that
the W. H. McElwain Company of Mas-
sachusetts had cotatracteij with the War
Department for 490000 pairs of shoes
at 15 cents a pair more than the low-
est bid and that a member of the com-
pany was a member of the advisory
board of the Council of National De-
fense.
Following an investigation of the
manufacturing plant of Rosenw'asser
Bros. Inc. iu Long Island City war-
rants were issued on September 19.

including a lieutenant and a private in
the Quartermaster Department of the
army. The men were charged with con-
spiring to defraud the government by
the delivery of defective and rejected
goods to the army. The Rosenwasser
plant held government contracts ag-
gregating $8907000 worth of leather
and canvas goods.

London Dec. O.—A feeling of disgust
has been aroused among members of
the Baltic Mercantile Shiping Ex-
change in London by an attemt on the
part of the German grain dealers to
reopen relations with the British at
first through neutrals. A telegram was
received by Shipton W. Anderson and
Company grain merchants from a firm
in Copenhagen suggesting the restora-
tion of old relations with the firm of
Newmann of Germany* for whom the
British merchants had acted before.
The Newmann firm in Hamburg was
previously one of the largest importers
in Germany of cereals and soya beans.
This telegram was posted publicly on
the exchange and by its side was ex-
hibited a passage from a dispatch from
a special correspondent in Amsterdam
on January Bof la*t year. This dealt
with the articles in the German press
urging ruthless submarine warfare.
