HIGHER PRICES
Sure to Come Say Our
Shoe Manufacturers,
Organization Proposed to fsl-
Their Their Interests
And a Campaign 10 Educate Public b
Expect to PAY NeIe.

Boston, Jan. 24.-Shoe manufacturers
of New England assembled here today
for a discussion of the conditions OF the
market and the wisdom OF advancing
prices on shoes. The meeting which
was held at the rooms OF the New
England Shoe and Leather Association,
had been called by George E. Keith Of
Brockton and Thomas G. Plant and e.
J. Bliss Of this city.
A special committee reported to man.
ufacturers on the conditions Of the
market, referred to the scarcity and
high price of leather, and suggested
the necessity of increasing prices.
The suggestion was made that $780,
900 be raised to educate the people in
paying more for their footwear. It
was pointed out that the advanced
cost Of all shoe materials make 1t
impossible for any shoe manufacturers
to supply the same values today That
were possible few years ago.
The same committee raised the point
that one of two things must be done:
either shoe prices must be advanced
or the manufacturing cost reduced by
a cheapening of the shoes. but the
cheaplng OF the shoes would make the
consumer dissatisfied. The consumer
would prefer, it was believed to pay
an advanced price for the standard
grade when once the true conditions
were explained. ga. &-...asv
To bring about the desired end the
committee recommended the formation
OF 4 corporation SO that the business
affairs of the association might be car
ried on more expeditiously, to estab-
l1sh central bureau of Information in
Boston. to send out literature to all re-
taliers throughout the country show
ing the necessity of their cooperation
with the manufacturers and whole
salers and educating the public to pay
advanced prices and to carry On a cam
paign of educating the consumer to ex-
pect to pay more for shoes.
1t was proposed to prove to the con.
sumner that it is impossible to supply
the former standard grades at old
prices. that the consumer cannot of.
ford to have any value taken out or
the shoe, that the price Of shoe ma.
terials has increased from 10 to 100 Der
cent. since 1902, that the beef and hide
trust so called had successfully raised
the price of leather and that the price
Of footwear would be forced up by the
trusts tactics.
Also the consumer would be shown
that operating expenses and labor had
become more standardized and that
the tendency was upwards rather thau
downwards and finally that the d.
mand for wide variety Of styles, CO.
gcther with the steadily advancing
cost of materials have SO lessened the
margin of profit and so squeezed the
manufacturer, the wholesaler and the
retailer that there seems no possibility
OF escape except by advancing the cojt
of shoes.

PCRSO-AFGHAN CRISIS.
II Bids Fair to Break Growing Friend
ship of England and Russia.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 24.-In diplomat
ic circles keen interest is evinced in
the development of the PersO-Afghan
crisis. The cloud which is appearing on
the horizon over the refusal of Persia
to accept the award of the British mis-
sion delimrng the Seist an frontier and
apPOriiOning the waters of the river
Hclinund. threatens to cast gloom over
the Frightening relations of Great Brit
ain and Russia.
The PersianS claim that the British
arbitration was none Of their seeking
and that il gave everything to Great
Britain's feuaatory and nothing to
them. They, therefore. are in no mood
to yield to any moral pressure on the
part Of Great Britain and are conf
dent Of the support of Russia. which,
i'll addition to its standing reasons for
UNFOLDING the Shah feels keenly the
tone of an apparently inspired account
Of the labors of the British mission
imputing to Russia intrigue and bad
faith.
y wcll-informed diplomat said to The
Associated Press that there was flttle
possibility that Great Britain would at
tempt 10 enforce the missions award
and that the two countries (AfShanis-
tan and Pereia) would be left to fight it
out among themselves if they so de-
sired. The Afghans. however, he said,
We're quite able to hold their own if it
came to a question Of hostilities.
