We rejoice in the thought

LARoRs INCREASED COST IN
THE SHOE TRADE.

The labor wage increases, accord
ing to the estimates OF several manu-
facturers, averaged during the past
two years as follows:
Sewers from f22 per week TO el5
and $57; machine men from $50 and
S45 to $40 and $50; cutters from $40 to
S45. In addition the hours OF work
have been reduced, which necessi-
tated the employment of more mon,
with q resultant Increase OF payrolls.
The cost OF hemp, Innings, nails,
and every other article that Is used
in the making OF shoes has increased
from 100 to 400 per cent. The cost OF
sole leather, for instance, In 1910 was
s3 cents pound, while now IL l1
