COSTING MORE
TO FIX SHOES

A general increase in shoe re-
pairs, to take effect June ~, has
been decided on by the shoe re-
pair men In Tacoma and vicinity.
Members of the trade declare re-
pair work has been conducted
here at lower rate than in any
other community.
Because of the increase in the
cost of leather because OF the
great demand by European bellig-
erents and domestic markets,
local men say they are unable to
offer the public the good service
enjoyed in the past without rails
ing prices to meet the market.
Buttons. rubber heals, tacks
and findings have risen In cost,
they claim, together with the in
crease in the cost of leather.

that Justice Hughes will in some
