that there was no love affair even i'm the

LARGE PROFIT IN
HOSIERY DESPITE
CUT IN TARIFF
Investigation Shows Twelve per
Cent. Made on Capital In.
vested by Manufac-
turerS.

Washington Dec % investigation has
disclosed. the department of commerce
announced to-day. that American hosiery
manufacturers who opposed ARR cuts
on knit goods. now are making n profit
of nearly L. per cent. on capital invest ed
and could increase that margin through
better methods in the manufacture and
sale of their goods.
A report on this investi cation by ex-
perts in the bureau Of foreign and do
nestle commerce was transmitted to
President Wilson to-day by Secretary
Rcdhcld II was the second of n series
issued in connection with the bureaus
inquiry into the manufacture Of clothing
in the United States.
Highest profits. the report says. arc
made on tho class of goods meeting for
clgn competition. Seamless hosiery,
solely an American product. is cheaper
and produces the smallest margin to tho
ma manufacturers.
Imports are shown to have dropped
from ss.40ocn to 100000 within the last
SIX years. In 1899 imports formed - per
cent Of the value of hosiery sold in
America. but now. less than six per cent.
Of goods on the American market is OF
foreign manufacture.
Americans were found to he wearing
silk hosiery more and moro. and as n
result. cotton hosiery manufacturers are
making less profit than silk manufacture
ers
Profits IN various parts of tho country
are shown to vary greatly. Sixteen mills
in the South are making five lines the
profit, the report says. of ~ many mills
in Pennsylvania This Is attributed to
lower labor cost in the South and also
| 20 the fact that southern mills. being
newer. are equipped with more efficient
machinery. The report finds fault with
a retail svstem that forces manufacture
ers TO produce m article selling at a
fixed price. THIS system. the report
SAYS, does not permit n raise of a few
cents in the retail price and forces the
manufacturer TO sell more Cheaply SO
the retailer can make living profit
despite mounting expenses. Much
ruinous competition has resulted, the re-
port asserts
Opposition by the National Hosiery and
Underwear Nanufa cturers' association.
