BOARDING CAUSE Of
ADVANCE IN SHOES
Packers Store Hides While The
Price of Leather Scars out
of Sight.

Hoarding OF hides by the packers
and phenomenal profits of tanning
companies are. the principal causes
for the high prices of. shoes and other
leather goods, according to a prelim-
mary report Of the Federal Trade
Commission.
Figures show that the take-off of
hides has increased so per cent over
that of 1912, that the imports of hides
in spite of tonnage scarcity, increased
by 70 per cent, and that at the same
time exports of shoes decreased from
the high level of 10, 900, 900 pair in
1916 to a little over 100000 pair in
1917.
War Doesn't Excuse Prices.
The frequent excuse for high shoe
prices, namely, the large government
orders for our soldiers, evidently had
little or nothing to do with the prices
| to the public. The Trade Commits.
sion went behind the publicity of the
packers and the leather and shoe
companies to get the facts, and again
found that their widely circulated re-
ports covered up unjustiiable and vic
ious p%rofiteering.
Although stocks OF hides are alb
normal and there Is little or no mar
ket for country hides, the leather
companies are working at far from
capacity. The people, therefore, not
only suffer from famine prices for
shoes and other leather goods. but
are threatened. with real shortage as.
soon as the present manufactured
stocks are used up. The big leather
interests are not only asking monop-
oily prices, but are reducing produc.
ton.
Huge Leather Stocks Held.
THE quantity Of hides" a y the
report, STORED by the five large Chi
ego packers increased Do per ent
during 1916 and the first half OF 1917.
These five concerns are undoubtedly
the chief factors in the hide market
in the United States, and the Swift
and Armour interests are among the
important leather manufacturers,
THE increase In the values which
the packers have placed on their
hides is much greater than the in
crease in the price they have paid
for cattle. Thus, at the five principal
plants of Swift & CO., the price paid
for cattle in nine months of 1915-t6
compared with the same nine months
of 1861 increased approximately
I.17 per cent, but the value which Swift
& Co. put on the hides from these
same cattle increased Is per cent"
Excessive Profits Revealed.
Financial reports secured by the
Commission from Swift & Co., and
Armour & Co. show phenomenal in
creases in the profits OF their leather
business In 1915-16 compared with the
previous year..
Reports Of the larger companies
show that net profits in 1916 were In
several instances two, three, four, or
even five times as large as in 1915,
and the 1915 net profits in turn show
ed increases of from 80 per CEN to
more than 100 per cent over those OF
1914"
