IF PRICES
 AS OPERATIVE IN ENGLAND

LONDON, Jan. 12 Correspondence of the Associated Press)-Regulation of prices and limitations of profits to be obtained by producers of necessi- ties have developed during the war to an extent probably never before known in the Britis hempire. Restrictions on prices and profits have been extended to many kinds of supplies required by the people or for government use in the prosecution of the war.
 Among the necessities most vitally concerned are food, fuel, munitions and shipping. To what extent these have passed under government regula- tion is shown in a report submitted

regard to the urgency of supply" Roughly, the maximum profit consider ed reasonable for main-contractor is 10 per cent, or 21A per cent for super vision of sub-contracted work. AS the demand for munitions exceeds the sup ply, competitive bidding for contracts has stopped. Prices are based upon investigation of actual costs at con- tractors work, checked by the costs charges at national-owned factories in the same line of production.

Knitting Bags
No Spur to Chivalry,
Says Shonts
Declines to Request Men to
Stand in Subway for Wom-
en- With Bags

Theodore P. Shonts thinks that even
woman with knitting bag is not al
ways entitled to seat in his subway
at the expense of masculine passen-
ger The knitting bag may constitute
kind of camouflage or the woman may
simply have fingered shopping until
she is caught in the rush hour jam, he
declared in letter which he wrote yes
terdy in reply to woman who sug-
gested placards in the subway request
ing young men to surrender their seats
to women who are knitting for soldiers
and sailors.
"Thcre can be no question: wrote
Mr.. Shonts, "as to the proprety OF our
displaying q placard suggesting that
the young mcn--in fact, all men Of ro-
bust health and physically able-sur-
render their seats to business women
who desire to knit while travelling to
and from work But how about the
large number Of women who on shop
ping or pleasure bent elect to remain
downtown so late as to unnecessarily
add to the congestion or rapid transit
facilities during the rush hour period
How about the woman who carries
knitting bag as camoullage?
CAS- matter Of justice, would you
consider it right to ask q man returning
home from hard days labor to give
uD his seat to a woman who was re-
turning from an afternoon tea during
the peak Of the rush hour period, sim
ply because she carried knitting bag

Shoddy Uniforms
Necessary to Save
Wool, Say Experts
Tell Senate Investigators
New Garments Are
Warm as Old

WASHINGTON. Jan. ,7.-Use of re-
worked wool. or shoddy. instead Of cot
ton for mixture in woollcn cloth FOR
the army was vigorously defended be-
fore the Senate Military Committee
to-day by Colonel John P. Wood. of
the Engineers Reserve Corps. former
president of the National Association
of Wool Manufacturers, and Winthrop
l.. Marvin, of Boston, secretary Of the
association. Both declared the now
garments as warm or warmer than
those made under the old specifications.
and insisted that the substitution was
necessary to conserve the wool supp.y.
The witnesses gave the committee its
first information concerning the origin
of the shoddy order. They said it was
proposed by committee Of the Manu-
facturers' Association and was adopted
over the opposition Of Quartermaster
General Sharpe and Charles Eisenman
ice-chairman OF the Defence Councils
supplies committee.
Colonel Wood opposed proposals that
the army uniforms be made heavier
He insisted that il would be a great
mistake to impose heavier clothing
upon the soldiers while training in this
country, and that it would be time
enough to make the change if actual
experience abroad demonstrated it's ne
cessity.
Sheep Raiscrs' Position
In the course of the hearing the
committee received a telegram from,
i. j: Hagenbarth, Of Salt Lake City,
president of the National Wool Grow
ers' Association, asserting that the
wool shortage "scare" has been caused
by interests desiring to use shoddy
and that present and future raw wool
supplies arc ample to afford sufficient
wool to make allwool army clothing.
Mr.. Marvin told the committee that
the government had lost between $780,
100000 and $40,OOO,C0O by failing ia
Boston and Philadelphia traders.
Mr. Eisenman, called to the stand
said responsibility for failure to ac.
cept the offer rested with the Quarter
master Generals Office, and not witt
the supplies committee.
"All Wool Imncssible'
In response to questions by Chair
man Cham berlain, Mr.. Marvin said /,
would take six months to get enough
wool clothing for million men if the
order for use Of shoddy should now bt
revoked. Manufacturers, he also said
could not secure enough wool for such
an. order.
The committee hopes to conclude it;
