The higA-, prices Of shoes was declared to be due to excessive profits take by every factory in the shoe production indus try. in report by the Federal Trade Commission to Congress made public today. The packers were charged with having begun the pyramiding of shoe prices by an unwarranted i'm crease in the price of hides, the sup ply Of which they were said to con- trol On top of this increase, 1t was charged, the tanners have taken "ex- ceptional profits" while the shoe manufacturers have demanded an unusual margin" and the retailers have charged prices that are mot justidabIe."
 ''The commissions report covering the four year period from 1914 to 1918, is the result of an exhaustive inquiry into the price of hides, leather and shoes begun more than a year ago, it was said. It has been in the presidents hands for some time, and 1t is understood that he urged its speedy printing and :ransmitta1 to Congress in connection with efforts of the government to combat the hign cost of living.
 To show that the packers during the last four years have made unwar- ranted increases in the price of packer" hides, the report pointed out that the price differential between the hides and country hides-hides of lower grade-has increased liar be- yond the usual proportion" Charges of excessive profits against the tan ner and the shoe manufacturer were said to be supported by "the high rates of return on investments'' ini both industries following the price in creases.
 'The public" said the report, 'had to pay prices for shoes that not only could not be justified because retail shoe dealers took too much profits. but because the dealer had to pass on to the consumer the excessive profits received by butchers. for hides and also the excess profits of tanners an$ shoe manufacturers"

1dE8 on9,) The strikers from the Garfield Rub Der company met this morning at Eagles hall and listened to talks by Ira N. Ornburn and Organizer Lo Pota of the Garment Workers Union of New York.
 The most talked of matter among the strikers this morning was the probable action of the Machinists' To- cal which Is to be held tomorrow night and frequent discussions take place as to the probability of the Grand Lodge insisting on the removal of Sam Lavit as business agent in the face of the endorsement he has re- ceived from over 1000 workers who are on strike.

 The men claim that this is the pre-

 The meeting also voted to have their grievance committee try and have the officials of the company stop the practice of laying off the men for two and three days at a time for petty offences against the rules of the com pany.
 It is said that the men are laid off for two or three days for failing to have the signs on the cars properly placed or if they get to the barn a minute before the schedule.
 Four of the older men, men who have been with the company for more than ten years have recently been laid off for three days because they did not want to do more than their regu- lar time of ten hours.
 In other places the men work only or hours a day while here they are compelled to work ten hours and as much over time as the starters wish.

 At 6:2o q. m. strikers and sympa- thizers attacked the crew of a Bergen street car at Vanderbilt avenue and another at Bergen street and Rogers avenue. Car windows were smashed and the rioters were dispersed by the police. No arrests were made.
 Strike leaders claimed that 95 per cent of the entire system was tied up and that since last night more than 2.oo0 men had joined the union.
 Thousands of motor trucks, auto mobiles and wagons were employed during the rush hours to bring a vast army of worwers to Manhattan. De- spite this the congestion at subway stations and L. platforms was as pro nounced as yesterday.

BIG MILK TRUST
 IS NOW FORMING
 CHARGES LAWYER

Cleveland, Aug. 7.-Combination of milk companies of nearly the scope and power of the five big packers is in process of formation in the East and Middle West, according tc Cuyalfoga county Prosecutor Samuel Doerfier, who is directing the Grand Jury investigation into the high cost of living in Cleveland.
 MT. Doertler said, according to in formation reaching him, that the milk combine is to include all territory be- tween New York and Chicago. Ger tain powerful milk dealers, he was told, were in combination with big bankers to wipe out the smaller dealers. This object, he said, was to be obtained by making 1t diff cult for the small dealers to obtain loans from the banks and then only at high interest.
 Certain loan agencies, he said, were to be subsidized by the big bankers in order to leave no loophole for the small dealers. Eventually the little fellows were to be driven out of bust ness and the whole market seized by the combine.
 'I have what I believe reliable in Doerfier. "I intend to go to the bottom of it with the Grand Jury"

New York, Aug. 7-The sun had hardly set on what many people consider the saddest of all July frsts when the Anti-Saloon League and the other prohibition agencies began issuing reviews of the crime situa- tion, all about how crime had de- creased since booze was thrown out and everything. The latest bulletin of the Anti-Saloon League declared that these United States had become 8 mighty nice and a very good place since alcohol died, and showed a marked decrease in all sorts of C. me.

 The Association Opposed to Ma tional Prohibitions scouts the Calm of the Anti-Saloon League that crime has decreased, and declares that while it has made no inquiry into conditions, voluntary reports sent in by it's members indicate that crime has increased rather than diminish ed since the first e July.
 'n some of the large cities,'' says a statement issued by the association there has been a decrease in arrests for drunkenness in July as compared with June, but June was an excep- tional month for drinking because it was supposed to be the last month of open barrooms.
 There has been an increase in felonies and the more vicious crimes.
 "There has been a revival of the gangster feuds in New York, result ing already in three or four murders.
 There has been a marked increase in drug addictions.

AGENT
 IS COLLECTING
 WAR REVENUES

Hartford, Conn.,, Aug. 7.-Collec- tor James J. Walsh, of the Internal Revenue has been advised by Com missioner Daniel c. Roper, that one Earl Smith, alias R. c. Hughes has been posing as a Deputy Collector in the Tennessee District and fraudulent ly collecting special taxes on tewelry, soda and other taxes that might be due by merchants operating a gen eral country store. The principal collections made by him appear to have been made on jewelry, and he has been furnishing receipts on ''Arco Safety receipt forms.
 Smith, alias Hughes, has probably at some time been in the Revenue Service or else in close touch with Revenue Officers judging from the success of his game.
 He is a man ft., 10 in. in height, rather slenderly built and between the ages of 25 and 30 years. His hair is sandy or brown and his teeth, ir- regular ill length, are irregularly set in his mouth. At one time he wore a light grey suit and a panama hat, and on another occasion wore a blue suit. It is his custom during his visits to merchants to display a metal badge and in his conversation refer to raids carried on in Kentucky by him and others.
 It is quite possible that this man may work his way into this district and for this reason, Collector Walsh warns all merchants especially in country towns to be on the lookout for him. Should he turn up, they are requested to notify the police and the Revenue office at once.
 Every duly authorized Revenue Col lector carries his commission with the Collectors seal on it, with him, and 1t is the privilege of the mer- chant to ask to see this.
