Je,ueIry

The jowelry industry was startled
last week by the action of the Inter
national Jewelry Workers. Union, Local
No. l, in calling q general walk~out of
workmen in New York. This action wa
taken after the refusal Of the manu-
featuring jewellers of New York to
meet the workmcn's demands for a
thrty-nine hour week, seven hours on
five da and four hours on Saturday.
The strike comes at time when local
jewelry manufacturers are months be-
hind on their deliveries. These manu-
facturers confess that they are very
much puzzled as to how they are going
TO fill many orders for which they now
hold contracts. They point out that
many of these contracts were taken
when the labor situation was settled
and at considerable lower prices than
the goods can now be produced for
Some of the larger companies intend
to fill as many of these contract orders
as possible and then close their fact
orles until the strike is settled.
Jewellers who manufacture medals
badges, cups, etc, advanced their prices
about 10 per cent during the week
while some of the large clock com
panes raised prices OF nearly all its
models 5 per cent. These increases
man iul dCtuieIS point OUT, are pound to
come from time to time as long as the
labor situation remains unsettled.
Diamonds have become so scarce ir
the United States that cutters consider
themselves fortunate if they can get
supplies enough to keep them going
on d dayto-day basis. Although these
stones cost more at present than ever
before the quality is not as good as
formerly. Small cut stones of good
quality arc especially hard to obtain
as the demand from all countries is 50
great that the diamond cutters abroad
are forced to rush the gems, and as a
result the workmanship is not what it
should be-

Leather

Statesmen out on tho road with spring
lines of shoes are sending back en-
couraging reports on the general out
look for business. While retailers
grumble over prices, they are buying
more shoes than ever for fear that
prices next spring may be still higher.
Manufacturers arc attempting to dis
courage this practice by requesting
that orders be kept within actual needs
so as not to aggravatc conditions in
an unsettled market The fear is that
radical price advances will follow any
great increase in buying.
The hide and leather markets are
firmer and higher, although there has
been little increase in buying, except
for sole leather. Purchases in good
volume are expected soon, as manu-
facturers of finished leather goods are
known to he short of supplies. En-
rorts of hides and leather have been
slight due 10 the rates of exchange,
and as large quantities of hides ar
rived from South America during the
week the market to-day is fairly we'll
supplied with goods.

Ra,u SILK;

week was improved over that of the
month preceding. There was a marked
increase N demand While sales. as

business Mills have been operating
IN limited stocks during the past six
weeks and when production is resumed
on normal basis silk will be re-
quired IN liberal quantities. The
realization Of that, coupled with the
knowledge that when purchases Of
these stocks do start prices will ad
vance, caused some Of the boldcr
operators to book their orders at pres
ent prices
Numerous inquiries were received
from Northern mills regarding quota

they have made contracts with the

Navy Destroyers
To Serve as Bases
In Pacific Flight
PLANES to Make No Speed
Effort ON 7,OOO-Mile Trip;
Mother Ships Not To Be
Used on Brazil Voyage
Nec York Tribune

Nd<htnUtOn DNTsGH
WASHINGTON. Sept. 2s.-The Navy
Department has decided to start the
land and-water fight to Brazil before
the end of this winter and to launch
the first transpaciic attempt before
June, it was learned to-day.
Plans for the first venture call for a
stnrt from Hampton Roads. It will
constitute the first test growing out OF
the experience gained in the transat-
lantic flight. The planes. which will
likely be improved ships of the NC
type, will follow the coast to Key West
before crossing tho Caribbean to Rio
de Janeiro.
Mother ships. such as were employed
in the NC journey from Rockaway t.
Plymouth, will not be used
The transpaciAc fight will start at
San Diego. No attempt at speed will
be made. As the hazard IS greater than
in the transatlantic or trans Caribbean
Light, and the distance longer, de-
stroyers from the Pacific fleet will act
as station ships to guide the fiers on
their 7000mile journey.
The navy's programme for equipping
all bases with aviation facilities calls
for the maintenance of landing places
at every naval establishment on both
coasts.
While most of the naval bases on
the Atlantic Coast already have provi-
sions for the reception of seapanes
the aviation division Of the Navy De
partment intends to have stationed at
all naval bases sufficient mechanics to
care for planes that put in there. as
well as covered buildings to house the
huge sea birds.
The programme likewise calls for
the expansion OF naval aviation to in
clude a full division of seaplanes for
both the Atlantic and Pacific fleets
Four major vessels in each feet will
be especially equipped to carry fast
scouting planes. Tests are now being
made by the navy with the Looming
monoplane. q ship capable of great
speed, which takes Off and lands on
dreadnaughts especially equipped to
carry the fast scouts
While navy aviation officers admi,
that with the present appropriation
little can be accomplished. they hope
that with the new naval appropriation
bill Congress viii supply sufficient
funds to enable the navy 70 keep pace
with the aviation forces of other sea
powers.
Captain Craven chief of the aviation
section of the Navy Department. con-
templates asking Congress for an en-
listed personnel Of mechanics and sea-
plane experts adequate to maintain at
least $50 flying ships.

Apparel

Retailers maintained an apathetc
attitude toward the women's garment
markets. The staGnation is variously
attributed to the lack of cold weather,
too high prices. the steel strike and.
by some manufacturers, to an alleged
attempt of the retailers to break the
market by withholding purchases for
an extended period. The more opti-
mistic among the manufacturers and
jobbers arc holding their prices firm
and predict a buying rush before
another month has passed.
Indications point to an early show
ing Of women's spring apparel. Some
manufacturers expect to have spring
lines ready by the middle of Novem-
Der and to start spring production by
