American Underwear
Industry is Prosperous


Foreign underwear is no longer
fashionable in the United States. The
average buyer may have no very de-
finite idea of the origin of the under
wear he purchases at the store, but
the fact that he no longer demands
something imported" is one Of the
significant and encouraging signs of
the times The total output of AM
erican-made knit underwear in 1909
was valued at $s4, 446 900, according
to statistics contained in a report on
the subject just issued by the Bureau
Of Foreign and Domestic Commerce,
whereas the imports Of cotton knit
underwear for the year previous to
the war were valued at only $4,000.
Cotton underwear forms the bulk of
the imports of this class of wearing
apparel.
The new report on the knit-under-
wear industry is the result of close
study of the situation in this country
by the Cost of Production Division of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, and it is the third of
series on the cost Of producing wear
ing apparel prepared for the assist
ance of congress when tariff legisla-
ton is being considered, the work of
the bureau in this respect being ex-
actly similar to that of the old tariff
board. The earlier reports were
studies of the muslin-underwear and
the hosiery industries. AS with the
other reports of the original intention
to make study of the conditions In
the knit-underwear industry in the
principal manufacturing countries in
Europe, but the war has made it i'm
possible to carry out such a plan.
The knit underwear industry in the
United States has had rapid growth
in recent years, the increase in output
from 1899 to 1909 amounting to more
than 70 per cent, and since 1909, al
though exact figures are not avail
able, the growth has been fully as
satisfactory. The industry is widely
scattered but large proportion of
the cotton knit underwear is manu-
featured in Utica, Amsterdam, and
other places in the Mohawk valley in
New York state. Cohoes, N. Y, is
an important center for the manu-
facture of wooden knit underwear.
Sixty-three establishments were
covered by the bureau in its study of
the industry, and these concerns re-
ported capital employed in the bust
ness amounting to $18,126,026. For
these companies the average manu-
featuring profit on net sales was 5.73
per cent and on capital employed in
business, S.45 per cent. Twenty
eight establishments had a manufac-
turing profit Of more than 10 per
cent on capital employed in business.
The report reaches the conclusion,
therefore, that the industry as a
whole was in q prosperous condition
during the normal times before the
war. The fact that some mills are
ordinarily more prosperous than
others is attributed in measure to
the difference In mechanical equip
ment and to the inferior cost-account-
ing methods used in some mills. 1t is
anticipated that the criticisms in this
respect will arouse as much dis
cussion as did similar comments in
the report on the hosiery industry.
AS to the prosperity of the industry
since the war started, there is of
course no question.

Congressman Here
 Over Fish Question
Albert Johnson Naturally Believes in
 Republican Success.

Hon. Albert Johnson, representative in Congress from the southwestern Washington district, was in Seward today during the time the Alameda was in port. Mr. Johnson IS going to Anchorage and will return to Seattle on the Alameda. This is his first visit to Alaska, and he had intended going no further than Juneau, but was persuaded by Judge Wickersham to make longer trip. Major Patton, editor of Mir. Johnson's newspaper, the Hoquiam Washingtonian, accom- panied the Congressman as far as Ju- neau The main object of their trip was to study at first hand the halibut fishing controversy, which, says Mir. Johnson, will be a live issue during the winter session of Congress.
 Congressman Johnson is ranking republican member of the House com mittee on Territories, and has had quite bit to do with Alaska legisla, ton. Should the next House of Rep resentatives be Republican, and Mr. Johnson predicts that it will be by 60 or D, he will have the refusal of the chairmanship of that committee.
 Congressman Johnson thinks that Judge Wickersham should be return ed as delegate from Alaska.
 q am firmly of the opinion that Hughes and Fairbanks will be elect ed,' said Congressman Johnson today. "I think the republicans will carry New York, Illinois, Indiana and even Missouri. There is a disinclnation to criticize President Wilson, but a strong desire for a change of administration, in the hope that a protective tariff may be restored, and some prepara- tion made for conditions which must arise at the conclusion of the Euro pean war. Just now the east is en- toying war prosperity and living in a Fools Paradise which must come to an end before long.
 Congressman Johnson was recently renominated in the republican pn- maries by a majority of 15,OOO over the mayor of Tacoma, and will be- gin campaign of his district about October 12.

Hon. James Wickersham, delegate to congress from Alaska, arrived on the Alameda this morning and is on the way to Anchorage where he will look over the railroad and also carry on a campaign for his reelection. He will go to Kodiak and quite a way into the interior towards the coal fields, after which he will come to Seward, make a speech here and also go out the railroad to make a study of the railroad conditions with a view, he says, to learning everything in pre- paration for the campaign at the next session to secure more money for the furtherance of the construction work. He has apparently not yet decided whether to go to Fairbanks and other interior places yet and will probably not decide until he comes back to Seward.
