SHOE PRICES Are
SOARING, SAYS EXPERT
Official OF Shoe Dealers Association
Saws The Public ShO,Isd Prepare
For Immediate Advanuy---Says Elm
Gareo is Responsible.

In an interview with a representa-
tive CT The Times-Union his morn
ing Harry a. Chase, one o. TIE organ
ize!s OF the Retail Shoe Dealers AS
ISOLATION OF New York State, and one
Of the publishers CT the trade jour
nal, called the Shoe Retailer" stat
ed that owing to the governments
action in raising the embargo on
the export OF leather to Europe the
American public should prepare it
self for higher shoe prices. b
THE retail shoe dealers of RU-
chester" said Mr.. Chase, are fortu-
cost of leather and making and in all
Of their fall and winter shoes early
as the growing scarcity and conse-
quent high prices of leather make
further advances. in the manufacture
ing of all kinds of shoes absolutely
certain. In fact price lists received
by local merchants within the past
wholesale prices of from SO cents to
81 over the prices of a month ago.
This is the third, and in some cases
the fourth, advance made by manu-
facturers and wholesalers since last
fall. The hope of the public and
shared in by the dealers that shoes
might be less expensive will not be
fulfilled for a long time to come, au-
thorities say.
The fact of the matter is that the
action in advancing prices again was
made imperative because of the short
er hours and hisher wages granted to
employees of all shoe factories in adj
dition to the unprecedented advance
in the prices of hides, skins and fin
ished leather, as well as the scarcity
of raw materials and the fast in
creasing foreign demand both for our
leather and shoes. Prices have ad-
vanced by leaps and bounds the past
two weeks. In fact the advanced
shoe prices are not sufficiently above
the old marks to cover the higher
cost of leathe rand making and in all
likelihood there will have tc be fur
Their advances. No one knows. We
thought the market had reached its
apex six months ago when the ar
mistice was signed, but the advances
have been gradual until with a fort
night, when they have sky-rocketed
beyond all precedent. 1t is almost
impossible to fix prices On shoes for
future delivery, for, while we have
leather on order, it has not been
tanned, and there is no telling wheth
er we will get it or not, and if we
do it may cost us much more than
we figured for W care placing blan-
ket orders for stock regardless of
price
"a hide dealer is authority for the
statement that present high prices
are due principally to the unusual
demand for hides and skins from
Europe and to the fact that the gov
eminent, which made restrictions
during the war which prevented
changes in leather prices, while other
commodities scared, has removed
these restrictions and now also al
lows the expectation of leather, so
that with short supply and big
demand the advance is only natural.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Despite the
spirit of hepefulness in official quar-
ters that the end of the csal strike

miners and operators declared last
night the country was in for prO-
tracted industrial struggle in the
bituminous fields.
Withdrawal Of the injunction OBJ

the way for settlement Of the coal
strike, Samuel Gompers, president of

declared in a statement tonight.
Charging that the injunction was
a grave wrong and gross hhrder,
Mr.. Gompers said that if it we're va
Gated and miners and operators in
vited to further conferences by the
department of labor, hc had "an
abiding faith that a mutually honor
able adjustment coull be negotiated
and effected whereby the coal strike
can be brought to an end,
Labor leaders, bit more specific
than operators, estimated that all
union mines would remained closed
at least four weeks.
"The issue will be submitted to
the court at Indianapolis next Sat
urday, calmly and dispassionateIy
and if the court adiudges that the
strike is illegal, apprehepd that the
miners, as law abiding citizens. will
discontinue it."
Officers of the conciHatiOn depart

been received from either side to- at =
tempt settlement of the strike thru
No attempt has been made to con-
ceal the fact that train seEgipe may
be materially reduced uAess the
