SlLkS--Makers May Limit
Style to Aid Production

Manufacturers of staple silks are
preparing to restrict the number of
styles and cofors in their output in
order to speed up production. Accord
ing to mill agents production is
steadily dropping behind and in few
mills runs as high as 10 per cent of
pre-war output. In some Of the largest
mills the actual yardage being turned
out at present is about half Of the old
normal. Although the output per mill
shows failing off, other mill agents
contend the large number of new mills
entering the field is bringing aggre-
gate production up to high figure.
Manufacturing difficulties are in
creasing. The finer hbers needed in
the making of high grade silks are
hard to obtain and weavers refuse, in
many cases, to work on hard weaving
fabrics. This is particularly true Of
heavy crepes, the output of which is
said to be growing smaller.
The success of the specially silk
houses also is leading more mills to
concentrate on the production of par
ticular lines, rather than to manufac-
ture variety of styles and weaves.

COTTONS-Aruilable
Supply Has Shrunken Recently

Within the last few days there has
oeen perceptible tightening up Of the
hmshed goods market, according to
converters. who declare that jobbers
are making, strenuous efforts to obtain
more merchandise for immediate use.
Al along the line, from the retailer to
the ml.l, there appears to be a smaller
supply of goods on hand than usual.
whether this means an actual shortage
or is merely, the result of the entrance
INTO N, me field of a greater number of
distributors within the last year is a
question to which all dealers are Civ
ing much thought.
one converter who had occasion to
purchase some low end voiles a week
ago had difficulty in finding them. A
lew e,st;a Gays ago &C. he was offered a large
other fabrics is related by other con-
verters. These men are convinced that
goods. are being held in certain quar-
ters for purely speculative purposes
ana al that fairly large amount of mer-
chandise in both the unfinished and
finished states is being withheld from
the channels of ordinary consumption.

British Plan to Lower
Boot and Shoe Prices

A compan has just been formed in
Englan according to cable advices
received yesterday, under the name Of
Shoe Retailers Inc. with the object OF
lowering the price Of boots and shoes
to the consumer. 1t is intended that
the company shall take the place Of
the middleman. purchase direct from
the manufacturers and distribute 70
retailers. The profit accruing to the
company will approximate 2h per
cent. and It IS estimated that the accu-
mulated profit upon pair of boots
or shoes passing through the COM
pany's hands will reach about 271a Der
cent, impaired with the 40 per cent
now added TO manufacturers cost be-
fore shoes reach the public.

take back moro than fve men. The
cholce OF those taken is left entirely
TO the Judgment Of the manufacturers.
AL tne men returning to work will
DC PAID the same salaries that they
received before they went on strike.
10 avoid this five-fnan limit set by
the jewelers. Association, however,
many OF the smaller manufacturers
are allowing workers formerly en-
pioyed In their factories to take work
nome. 10 avoid suspicion these work
men are said to re port to the union
once day and send their wives,
children or mothers to the manufac-
turers for piece work to be turned
out on their benches at home. Through
this method large supplies of jewe.ry
are being manufactured. AS these
workers are employed on a piecc-work
OASIS, they are striving, manufacturers
say, to turn out as much jewclry as
possible and are busy from early
morning until late at night. The
Workmanship Of this jewelry is also
reported to have shown conside rable
Improvement as the workers only re-
ceivc wages for first class goods.
The only people the strike is really
affecting at present, manufacturers
assert, are those handling the high
grade jewelry. This work requires
most careful attention and many Of
the workers who are doing piece work
at home are lacking the tools neces-
sary in the modelling of these goods.
Manufacturers in Newark and Attic
boro, however. are said to be doing
everything in their power to aid the
New York tradesmen, and it is thought
that sufficient shipments will be re-
ceived in time to satisfy the trade
requirements until the end Of 1919.
At a meeting held few days ago
in the Offices of Local No. of the
international Jewelry Workers. Union
motion to discontinue the strike was
placed before the members. After a
two hours debate vote was taken
which showed that the workers were
still desirous Of holding out The
motion to end the strike, 1t was said,
was made in a petition signed by nine
teen union members who asked that a
special meeting be called.

On Importations,

Manchester Guardian Says
Justice Sankey's Decision
Shows Basis of Policy of
Restrictions To Be Illegal

LONDON, Dec. 18-Sir Auckland
Geddes. Minister of National Service
and Reconstruction, announced in the
House of Commons to-day that in view
of the decision of Ju tice Sir John
Sankey of the Kings Bench Division
that the government possessed no
power to prohibit the importation Of
certain goods, the customs had been
instructed to allow the importation Of
ment's prohibitory proclamation pend
ing an appeal.
The articles liberated under the an
nouncement of Minister Geddes include
dyes, synthetic drugs chemicals, optl-
cal glass, scientific glassware, illumi-
mating glass, laboratory instruments,
gas mantles, gauges of all glasses. mag
netos, hosiery and needles.
In an editorial to-day dealing with
the decision rendered BY Judge
says:
THE import restrictions during and
after the war were imposed by proc
iamation under the act OF 1876, which
was so vaguely worded as to be cap
able Of Interpretation far beyond It's
obvious intentions. BY Justice San
keys decision, the whole basis Of the
policy of import restrictions is de-
clared illegal. except insofar as it re-
lates to munitions.
The present government did not
originate that policy, but continued to
develop it long after the necessities
Of war had made restrictions nee
essary, and finally attempted to en-
body its worst features in an anti
dumping bill That bill WAS buried
last week and it cannot be exhumed,
If at all, until the next session"

LEATffER-Heary Shipments
Made to Scandinarians

Interest among the tanners, espe-
cially those handling sole leather, is
mostly ccntered in export business.
During the last week heavy shipments
of leather were made to Scandinavian
countries as we'll as to Greece, despite
the weakness of the foreign exchange
market. Stocks Of leather in those
countries are reported to be unusually
low, and they are now looking to the
American market for large supplies.
The leather that has been shipped re-
Gently. it is said, is of the lowest
Grade and has been in the storehouses
here for years.
The domestic leather market is in
active. Tanners say that this condi-
tlon is to be expected, as many of the
manufacturers have been overstocked.
These stocks, they assert, however,
are nearly exhausted and a change for
the better in the local situation is
expected. just as soon as the New
England shoe manufacturing COM
panies start on heavy production of
late spring and summer goods for
1920 the tanners expect to begin their
busy season.

Navy Blue Leading
Color for Next Autumn

Mills manufacturing staple wooden
dress goods expect to offer goods for
next fall about the middle of January.
Indications point to a greater re trio
tion of stvles and colors than prevailed
during the last spring selling season.
Mill agents who have sounded out buy
ers among retailers, jobbers and gar
ment manufacturers are convinced that
navy blue viii! be the leading color in
demand.
Although the mills have not yet be-
gun to figure prices for the coming
season, sentiment now argues for an
advance Because of the great increase
in cotton yarns recently, dress goods
made with a cotton warp are likely to
show a greater price advance than all
wool materials, say the mill agents.
