high prices-and they are expected to
cost less-it was learned at the war
industries board this afternoon, follow
ing an announcement by the board that
protiteering in leather manufactures
would not be tolerated. The boa ard' $
announcement referring to its recent
establishment Of maximum prices on
sole and betting leather. which in turn
we're based on limit scale Of prices
for hides, establishing maximum
under the prevailing market. warns
that:
Within the maximum prices. the law
Of supply and demand should have its
influence on trade prices OF all COM

mittee does not intend that max ximum
prices shall obtain unless such prices
are justified by the law Of supply and
demand"

on shoes, an official connected with the
board said that the probability was that
they would cost less after the effect Of
the price-fxing became fully operative.
