Control Of What We Wear

A RELUCTANT Congress has given the
"A President the power during the course
OF the war to exercise Federal control over
the foods. feeds and fuel of the country
The American people, suffering from ex-
tortionate prices Of these necessary things,
supported the administration vigorously In
its demand that excessive prohteering In
these directions be curbed. The measures
passed by Congress are now about TO go into
operation, and, naturally, the country Is ex-
pecting substantial relief.
But the benevolent paternalsm of this
legislation does not proceed far cnought to
protect the user consumer against all ex-
tortion. 1t leaves out wearing apparel.
There is no authority on the part of the
government to control the leather market,
for instance. And because of it, the man or
woman who must buy shoes must pay prices
for them which everybody knows are out
rageous. There is no conceivable reason
why the cost of 81 pair of shoes should
have advanced 100 per cent in one year. An
exhaustive investigation of the leather mar
ket has just been made in New York This
discloses tho fact that there is no shortage
whatever In the general supply of this ma
terlal. Warehouses are filled with leather
and hides. The only variety of leather which
is short is the soft kids from which many
brands of womens shoes, are made Much
OF this formerly came from Russia None
OF 1t is now being imported from that coun-
try. Most OF the complaint for prevailing
conditions in the shoe trade Is being visited
upon the retailer This is true for the rem
son that the retailer is the only factor in
this business that the average man or woman
has any relations with. But 1t is not fair 70
charge the excessive prices to the retail end
of the trade. There is not now, and can
never be, any combination in the retail trade
suthcicnt TO maintain such prices as are now
charged for shoes. Competition is far too
| vigorous and individual enterprise far too
| aggressive for that
There Is an opportunity, however for some
| effective probing in this matter. The leather
| producers no doubt could throw some in
| teresting light upon conditions If nut under
| oath. The shoe manufacturers might add
some Information and the wholesaler prob
| ably could enlighten all of us if they were
pressed lar enough by an official investigator.
