PRICE OF SHOES.
Will Certainly Not be Allowed to go
Higher Than at Present-Maxi-
mum Fixed.

Shoes will not cost more than the
present high prices-and they are
eXpectd to cost less-it was learned
at the war industries board yester-
day afternoon, following an announ-
cement by the board that profiteerinp
in leather manufactures would not be
tolerated. The boards annollnce-
ment, referring its recent estah-
lishment of maximum prices on sole
ind betting leather, which. in turn
were based on a limit scale of prices
for, hides, establishing: maximum
under. the prevailing markt, warns
that: +.
"s"Within the MAXIMUM prices, the
law of supply and demand should
have it's influence on trade prices of
all commodities" and the price-fixing
committee does not intend that maxi
mum prices shall obtain unless such
prices are justified by the law of
supply and demand
Asked what effect this would have
on shoes, an official connected with
the hoard said that: the probability
was that they would cost less after
the effect of the price-fixing became
fully operative.
