LABOR DIFFICULTIES
RAISE SUIT PRICES
London Stores Lack Adequate
Supply Due to Government.
Special Correspondence to THE suS


LONDON. July l3.-The labor difficulty
has prevented the supplying OF all the
public demand for standard suits. and
before they are actually on sale in the
majority of the stores the manufactur-
ers have discovered that the standa I'd
prices have failed to take account of the
additional cost OF labor In their manu-
fauture.
This has resulted IN the increase of
the fixed selling prices for suits made to
measure and OF worsted serge cloth from
1920 to Sl3.40. with an additional
charge of 81 cents for lined trousers.
Extra pairs OF trousers. II ordered at
the same time as the suit, will cost s6.12.
There will be ten patterns altogether in
blue. black. brown and gray.
Pressure OF work in the factories,
due to the clothing manufacturers be-
ing heavily occupied with military, naval
and other Government clothing work
will prevent the stores receiving ade-
quate supplies of standard clothing for
some weeks yet.

ZURICH, July S.-While the guns are

killed by the war. The question whether
it will revive is discussed by the Swiss
press. The Neue Zueroher Zoitung
thinks the Federal Government will have
to spend a great deal of money IL
Switzerland is to recoup her loss There
is an undisguised tendency in all Euro
pean countries to discourage travelling
and spending money outside OF their
own respective domains.
In France the "Offce National du
Tourisme'' has been created to foster
the tourist business. Former Minister
Sembat is the director Of this Govern

for instance, by the Germans staying
at home.
Boom for Tourist Trade.
Daily newspapers and trade journals
are busy booming the tourist business
in France. State and municipal authori-
ties are wideawake and assisting in
preparations for the great rush after
the war. In the city OF Besancon a
pavilion for 'touristique" was built by
the municipality costing $4,000 francs,
and the city will pay $4,000 francs
yearly for its maintenance. The State
is loaning money to hotN corporations
on favorable terms. enabling them to
subsist until peace is restored.
The French figured out that Amer!-
cans left about 5000. 100000 francs in
France. They are certain Americans
will be eager to visit the battlefields
where their own boys fought so val
iantly.
Italy too IS making strenuous efforts
to put her tourist industry again OH
a sound footing. Italy is spending mill
ions to improve the italian Riviera in
addition to a share spent by the locali-
ties, for the same purpose. Immense
sums are ready to be spent for adver-
Using as soon as peace is declared. OF
course the Italians are also expecting
a big rush from America.

stay away for some time, although no.
body believes the boycott proposed by
