Attacks Price Boosting
Mill President Answers Critics
of Pla nto Start Store

BOSTON, Dec. 15.-In answer to
criticism Of his proposed establish
ment of a great department store where
the necessities of life would be sold
at cost, William M. Wood, president
of the American Woolen Company. to-
night made public by letter to the mer-
chants of Lawrence, Mass, in which
he asserted that some of them had in
creaed their prices in direct ratio to
wage increases in the mills. AS a re-
suit of this, he declared. food prices
in Lawrence were practically the high
est of any city in the country
THE employees ask for higher
wages" the letter continued, because
the cost of living absorbs all they re-
ceive for their work. When the mill
responds, apparently the workman is
no better off because his increased
wages are absorbed by an advanced
cost Of living. This vicious circle
cannot continue"

Baker Expects New
Records i'm Trade
Through the Canal
Commerce Rapidly Encreas-
ing, Secretary Says OH Re-
turn From Panama Trip:
Hopes to Aid Porto Rico
NeW York Tribune
WnstfnCtOn Rurecu

WASHINGTON, Dec. l5.-Secretary
of War Baker, who returned to his desk
to-da after an inspection trip to Porto
Rico and the Panama Canal, predicts
that the commerce passing through
the canal will continue to increase and
he looks for it to exceed the record
set last October.
AS an indication of the rapidly tn
creasing business done through the
year the revenues were in excess Of
the operating expenses by some $780,
900. He pointed out that while the
canal has been open for trade since
1914, the war greatly disturbed COM
mercial traffic there. and not until last
year did the waterway really become
self supporting
October, this year." Mr.. Baker said.
was the largest month in the history
Of the canal. November had not been
tailed at the time Of my departure,
out apparently the business of the
canal is increasing and new lines are
constantly being established which will
use the canal route. The trip through
the cana saves most of the steamers
from 5000 10 9 900 miles, so that the net
cargo time and space saved b. the pas
sage IS almost incalculable. | think
we can look forward to growing busi-
Ness LHtONtN Inc canal.
with shipping through the canal
increasing daily and new steamship
lines being organ zed for trade through
those waters, another route will neces-
sarily De required eventual ="
Mr. Baker characterized the canal
as the greatest work OF man !.
IS the greatest artificial thing that
men have ever done; the greatest i'm
provement to the face of the earth
that men have ever wrought.
~ had notion up to the time of my
visit to the canal that it was rather
over-manred; that we had failed to
bring down the construction force to a
sufficiently small maintenance force,
and that the expense was probably too
great. It is only necessary 10 see the
canal and what goes on there TO ar
rye at the conclusion that to be useful
he canal must be certain.
"The mechanical perfection OF the
plant is beyond belief, ard the santa
ton of the Canal Zone which so com
plc+ely eliminates everything tat
makes for i'll health, is one of the
great trumphs Of n odern SCIENCE"
At Porto Rico. Secretary Baker said
he saw great evidences of the lack OF
shipping facilities between the island
and tie United State and attention,
Re declared, shor'd imme edia'ely be
given by this country to providing ad-
dit'onal vessels for the Porto Rican
trade. He likewise ur~ed that the
harbor he dred~ed and that additional
port facilities be provided

Trade Council to Clarity
'SShipping'' Language
Delegates Will Meet This Morn.
ing to Define, Among Other
Terms, ''F. 0. b. New York"

To develop a standardized export
language, representatives OF various
trade organizations will meet this
morning at the India House, in Han
over Square. The meeting, called by
the National Foreign Trade Council. is
the result Of worldwide confusion Of
quotations. such as of O. B. New
York" Doubt exists as to whether
this trade term means free on board
steamer at New York or delivery with
in the city limits.
"The council" said o. X. Davis. sec
retary, "hopes that uniformity of
practice may be developed on the part
of American manufacturers and ex-
porters which will tend to obviate
complaints from foreign markets. We
feel. that recommendations of joint
conference will aid Standardization of
the American practice and thus be o.
substantial benefit to our international

FuRS-Shorfage
OF Credit Hurts Trade

Operators in the local fur trade, par
tlcu iarly in the raw skin branch of the
business, are being hampered by the
limited credit which bankers extend to
dealers. According to prominent raw fur
merchants in this city New York banks
always have held credit limits to the
trade much closer than have the banks
in other fur centers. notably St Louis
and Chicago. With the tremendous in
crease in fur values during the last few
years dealers need from three to four
times the former amount Of money to
finance their transactions. The rapid
growth of the fur trade has taxed the
resources of the banks catering to the
fur business, with the result that some
