Wholesale MiIliners Busy High Prices
Stocks of Winter Hats Now
Sought by Retailers

Wholesale milliners are at the
height Of their fall selling season, and
the retailers are reported to be order
ing fall stocks freely. The retail mill
inery business has been brisk in all
parts of the country, according to buy
ers now in the market Most of the re-
tailers are buying the bulk of their
winter stocks now, but will visit the
market from time to time to fill in as
their racks become depleted and to
make purchases of new styles, which
always appear during the season
Judging from present orders the re-
taiers anticipate an enormous demand
for ostrich trimmed hats. Burnt
orange is a favorite color for both
hats and trimmings.

More Reasons for the
High Price of Shoes
Leather Deal Tanners and Makers Of Shoes Hold
Views Differing From Federal Trade Commission
and Present Figures to Support Their Verson

REASONS given for the high prices
az of leather and shoes by tanners,
leather dealers and shoe manufacturers
yesterday differed substantially from
those set forth in the report of the
Federal Trade Commission to Congress.
John j. Slater, manufacturer and re-
taller of shoes, said:
"There is shortage of leather
throughout the world at present. Con-
ditions produced by the great war are
such that England, France, italy, and
in fact ali the countries Of. Europe are
denuded of leather and footwear and
fill their needs. Under normal condi-
tions the take-of of h des in this coun-
try is only SO per cent of the leather
we use. The remainder is imported
from the different countries of the
world. In calfskins alone, during 1912
there were 1O5O00,000 pounds imported
into this country. Last year only 21,-
100000 pounds were imported, while
our normal rate should have been 175,-
100000 pounds.
Last year we received600,0 900 pounds
of hides from Russia; under normal
conditions we should have received
60000.000 pounds. 1t is evident from
these statistics that we are falling be-
hind on our natural supply of raw
stock, and according to the law of sup
ply and demand, prices must advance.
"To-day farmers are getting as much
for the hide of an animal as they got
for the carcass five years back The
hide of six weeks old calf now sells
for SIS, whereas a few years ago the
dead calf did not bring Sc.
wages and overhead have advanced
during the last few years. The shoe
were satisfied with salary of $18 are
now receiving $50 to $40. Cutters for
merly were paid 500 a week; they now
receive $40 to $50 a week. Machine

yEEELRY--SiErersmiths No1p
2 orking or, Higher Wage Scale

A forty-four hour week and a 20 per
cent increase in wages, it was learned
yesterday, have been granted to several
hundred silversmiths in the New York
district. The granting of these conces-
sons by manufacturers came after the
men had been on strike for two days
Under the new arrangement it is pro
Vided that employees must actually work
eight hours each day, with the excep-
ton of Saturday, when they work but
four hours.
Manufacturers contend that this IN
crease in wages and the shortening of
the working day, together with the
high price of silver, is bound to be re-
hected in the price of silverware. Ac-
cording to these manufacturers the
enormous consumption of silver by
India has brought about serious
shortage in the market. This situation
has caused movement in the United
States toward the organization of a sill
yer export association to control the
export price of silver. In the past
England, as the largest purchaser Of
the meta, has been in control Of prices,
but through this new association a
shift in the balance of control is
thought possible.

silk Gloves for Spring
To Sell on Higher Range

Manufacturers of silk gloves are
locking to record business for their
spring offerings. The high priced lines,
they say. will be greatly favored by the
trade. One leading house reports that
the popularity of the glove retailing
for 90 cents has been supplanted by
that which costs the consumer S1.25
and $3.50.
Some OF the larger manufacturers,
who usually offer their spring lines for
sale by July /, have not yet placed
salesmeh on .he road, and now are re-
ceiving scores of inquiries as to when
their goods will be on the market. One
firm declares that its entire output will
be purchased three weeks after it
begins showing samples.
The long six-button length, strap
wrist gloves are expected to be much
in vogue next spring.

Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Denial OF
Secretary's Bakers recent statement
that civilians competent to fly could
buy War Department planes for
around s4oo was voiced by Major Cen
eral Charles I. Menoher, chief Of the
Ar Ar Service, testifying to-day before
the house Sub Committee investipat-
ing foreign expenditures in the War
Department.
General Menoher declared he had
never heard of any order to sell planes
to civilians, that none had been sold,
and expressed himself unfavorable to
any such proposition.
~ believe it would be the greatest
mistake in the world to sell those
planes to the public generally." he
said. ut would be ali right if we
could insure their never getting into
the hands Of inexperienced or un-
licensed f1iers, but that would be hard
to do.
"I believe the government should
keep control of aviation and send
Hers who want planes to the manu-
iacturers, who can be held responsible
for the plane and make sure that the
purchaser is licensed fier. We
would have more accidents if we sold
these planes to the public

Smith Waits Appeal
On Income Tax Law
Governor Will Let Next AS
sembly Make Changes
Order hy Court

ALBANY, Aug. 7.-Governor Smith
will ask the Legislature at its regular
session next January to make neces-
sary corrections in the state income
tax law. The decision of Federal
Judge Knox declares unconstitutional
only the nonresident section of the
law, holding that discrimination exists
in that it does not give non-residents
the same exemptions as res dents. At
torney General Newton and his depu-
ties are now considering the decisioon
and undoubtedly will take an appeal.
The Governor will wait the dec sion
of the higher court before suggesting
any amendments. He is watching for
the decision of the United States Su-
preme Court in the Oklahoma income
tax case, which involves the right of
one state to tax incomes of the resi-
dents of another.
The tax is not imposed until next
March and Governor Smith believes
that any needed corrections can be
made by the regular session of the
c1ntDrn

cheviot is TO be used in the manu-
facture Of shirts and the cottonade

The demand for gingham is begin

output up to next spring and in re-
sponse to inquiries on the fabric adj

Offering of Fancy
Spring Woollens
Proves Attraction
Small Quantity of Fabric
Allotted by American
Company Causes Dissatis-
faction Among Buyers
satisfaction Among Buy
ers; Prices Second Con-
sideratiOn

An Offering of woollens and worsteds
for next spring by the American Wool
en- Company yesterday brought more
than 500 buyers in quest of goods to
tho concerns rhowroofns. The offering
was limited, goods being allotted to Gus
toners in small amounts, it was said.
1t comprised fancy woollens and
worsteds for the mems wear trade and
wcollen nilvcrtones for the women's
trade. Mems wear fabrics were offered
under three classifcations, prices rang
ing from 1925 to $3.50 yard for one,
s1.45 to $4.77la for another and $3.50
to $3.50 a yard for the third. The sill
vertoneS We're said to range from $32
to 81 yard.
Buyers expressed themselves as dis
satisfied with the small amount of
goods offered and many clothing manu-
facturers who have depended on the big
company for the bulk of their supplies
will, it is said. be forced to seek mcr-
chandise elsewhere for use next spring.
No Staples Forthcoming
One of the features of the opening,
which is said to be the only one the
company will hold this year, was the
elimination Of staple goods. According
to current reports the company will
make no staples for spring, thus short
ening the markets supply of serges,
etc. This, according to the trade, will
send staple goods to new high levels,
as most of the other mills say their
production for spring will be small
Serges lead all other woollen fabrics
in demand now, according to the job
bers, who hold most of the available
stocks of these fabrics and are ration
ing them to their customers to spread
out the present supply as far as pos
sible.
Jobbers Ordering Spring Goods
One of the largest jobbers in the city
said yesterday that he has received less
than 10 per cent of the woollen goods
he ordered from the mills for June de-
livery, and no goods scheduled for de-
livery last month. He expects to take
delivery on fall and winter fabrics we'll
into next year, and if the demand sub
sides by that time will carry them over
for sale during the summer Of 1920.
The jobbers say they are placing
large orders for spring goods now
without asking the prices.

THE B1sBEE DEPORTATION CASES

In Cochise county approximately three hun dred miners and business men are undergoing a preliminary hearing before Justice of the Peace at Douglas charged with kidnapping. The charge grows out of the deportation of several hundred members of the l. w. w. from Bisbee in July 1917, when this organization sought to curtail the production of copper ln that district by forcing strike, which was not approved by the members of the American Fed eration of Labor The action attempted in Bisbee by the I. w. w. was in keeping with similar acts by this malodorous organization during the war period, who by acts of sabotage attempted to curtail the war activities of the government
 The witnesses so far examined Tn the pre- liminary hearings have freely admitted thelr membership in and their allegance to, the l. w W organization at the time of their depor- tation from Blsbee.
 The plain facts in the deportation cases at Bisbee remain the same The 1. w. Ws at- tempted to shut down one of the largest copper producers in the state at time when the gov ernment was in sore need of every pound of copper that could be produced The loyal m1n- CTS and business men of the district Jo1ned hands to rid the community of the all1es of the Huns and they stood not upon the order or their riddance. In as painles manner as possible an i'll smelling cancer was removed from the body industrial.
 Within few weeks, probably some of these deportation cases will be called for trial in the superior court of Cochise county It IS well. The returning soldiers almost all home now It is not unlikely that some of them will be on the jury panel It is probable that some of them will sit on the jury to try those charged with deportation of I w. W.s while they fought at the front for $30.O0 per month. The verdict in the I. w. w. cases has been srendered in ad- vance. The present procedure is waste of time and money
