"to have soldiers letters printed IL

the circulator said, 80, .it's all right

are indignant they did so. And wei
they may be, for was he yer conceived
SO deft a scheme to prostitute patriot

BARUCH EXPLAINS PROGRAM
Chairman of War Industries
Board Explains Plan to
National Retailers.
A COMMITTEE IS APPOINTED
Clothiers Name Members to
Make Agreement on Suits,
and Other Articles.

NHoblNb loN, oct. 3.-PriCeS
and distribution OF practically all
articles OF wearing apparel are to be
controlled by the war Industries
board, Regulations issued yesterday
prescribing certain fixed prices for
shoes constituted only the first step
in a general policy for price control
Of clothing.
That was disclosed today by Chair
man Baruch OF the board in an ad p
dress at a special meeting OF 1he
National Retail Dry Goods associ-
alton. Referring to the putting into
effect OF the agreement between the
board and the shoe industry, Mr..
Baruch said:
After that will have to come the
regulation and distribution OF most
all OF the things which you gentle
men have to deal with. don't want
you to say it can't be done. because
1t must be done. II is unthinkable
that only the man with the longest
pocketbook can get the things that
he needs"
The retailers were called upon by
Chairman Baruch to take the prod
uct OF "the manufacturer. who, to
some extent. has his prices regulated
and limited amounts alocated TO
him." with the determination to dis
tribute 1t "in some fair and equitable
way, seeing that as far as possible,
each individual gets his share and
i at A price that Is fair.
When It comes to the question OF
a fair price" Mr.. Baruch continued.
l,aN IL a. -
say roughly that fair price is some
thing like the normal profits in
normal times. know you will all
They are and we have got to do
abnormal and new things"
To meet the request that represen-
tatives be named to confer with the
war industries board in matters of
distribution and price control. the
association appointed a war service
committee.
Though no details OF the plan to
be followed in controlling clothing
prices has been announced by the
board, It is believed that the general
policy adipted in fixing the prices
Of shoes will be followed. Standard
prices for standard grades OF mems
and women's suits, hats and other
articles OF clothing probably will be
established by agreement with manu-
facturers and retailers.
BY the agreement reached by the
board and the shoe industry. addi-
tional details OF which were made
public today, the program and styles
and shoes under the regulated price
plan will conform to that announced
by the board in June. whereby both
styles and colors were restricted.
A number of manufacturers al
ready have started work on the
standardized grades. To prevent
loss to manufacturers OF high priced
shoes, the agreement provides that
shoes retailing for more than S12,
the maximum fixed price. which al
ready have Been manufactured, may
be sold until June, 1919. after that
date II will be impossible to buy
ready-made shoes for more than $l2.
For low shoes OF the type usually
worn in the summer months the
