an inquiry into the basic causes OF high
costs. Efforts were made to have this
inquiry extended so as to cover high
costs OF food and clothing as well, but
Representative lsoe, Of st. Louis, author
OF the measure, supported by Repuh-
lican leaders who had previously OPP
posed the resolution, prevented this.
AS a simple house resolution II does
not go to the senate but direct to the
federal trade commission, which is
thereby authorized to inquire into the
increase in the price Of shoes, to as
certain the cause and necessity for the
Increase; to ascertain the manufac-
turers' cost price and selling price and
the retailers cost price and selling price
for the years 1918 and 1919 and report
to the house at the earliest convenient
date the result OF the investigation"
As originally drafted the date fixed for
this report was September 8, but 1t
was felt congress should not fix the
date but should ask for the report as
soon as 1t a be prepared.
Under these instructions the federal
trade commission will Immediately be-
gin the investigation. The subject will
not be entirely new to these investi-
gators as they recently completed a re-
port covering wholesale prices during
1917 and retail prices for part OF 1915,
This showed substantial profits made
by the four branches of the trade;

OFFERED
TO STRIKING TA|LORS

PORTLAND. Sept sO.-Pacific
Coast Merchant Tailors' association Of
fered a compromise agreement to
striking tailors Monday afternoon.
Tailors and bushelmen. who de-
mand $40 for 44-hour week, and
who were getting before the Strike
s34.5O for a 4s-hour week, are offer
ed by the association s36 for a AS
hour week, if they will return to work
Immediately.
Tailors' helpers. demanding $27 for
a 44hour week, who were getting be-
fore the strike s23 for 4S-hour week
are offered similarly s24 for 4s-hour
week.
These figures were made public by
G. H. Reed. secretary of the local Mer-
chant Tailors' exchange a chapter OF
the Pacific Coast association.
The proposed agreement. according
to Reed, is based on a wage prevailing
in most cities in the United States.
According to a telegram from Sam
G. Levy of the coast association, the
San Francisco labor council has re-
pudiated the striking tailors,'' said
Reed They give as their reason the
presence among the tailors of men
with too radical ideas"
The taiIors have been on strike since
September 2. Almost every tailor IL
the city of Portland has quit work
since that date, Reed said. In addi-
tion to higher wages tailors are de.
manding pay for all holidays.

CONSTRUCTION NOT

FROM ECHO TO R|ETH
Bridge Building Along Highway
Has Been Greatly Delayed by
Inability to Get Labor and
Material Promptly.

No construction work on the Echo
Rieth highway has been started on
the Echo end as yet, although the
contract was let sometime ago TO a
Spokane firm of contractors. the Echo
News says in this weeks issue. At the
highway office in Echo no definite in
formation as to when the contractors
will be on the job has been received,
and 1t is not known If they Will start
work from this end or from Rieth.
Bridge construction along the high
way has been greatly delayed by in
ability to get labor and material
promptly. Steel for reinforcing the
concrete bridges has been on the way
for long time. and much trouble has
been experienced getting gravel and
sand. The matter of the exact loca-
tion of the bridges over the various
bitches has also been rather unset
tied and in some instances there have
been changes made in the form of the
bridges after excavation work wa
done. The contractors expect to
make more rapid headway now.
From Echo to StanfieId the gravel
ing of the highway is now completed
and there is now a good road between
the two towns. There are four
bridges to be built on this stretch. One
IS to cross the government ditch just
1orth of the Echo Mill, another cross
IS the Furnish ditch on the grade up
