Tho Austrian reply said the delegate
realized Austria's position was that Of a
defeated Power. but complained that It's
territory had been limited in too sweep
Ing manner Particular objection was
offered to the loss Of southern Bohemia
and the Tyrol district.
The Austrians state they also believe
they have been greatly overcharged, as
two-thirds Of the debt of the Austro-
Hungarian State is being loaded upon
them. They say that the proportion is
too heavy, considering their small popu-
lation, and they are not certain they can
live under such conditions.
special appeal was made by the
Austrians for an oral discussion of the
treaty. They said they believed such q
discussion would result In a more COM
plete understanding of the conditions
imposed.
Although the Austrians indicated
clearly their intention of signing, even
if the treaty is not modified, yet they
expressed the hope that some modifica-
ton may be effected.
DR.. Karl Renner, Austrian Chancellor
and head OF the delegation, and most of
his colleagues, left here tonight for

this standard. slaughterers took more
than they should for hides tanners
charged more for leather than they
should, and shoe manufacturers likewise
charged too much for shoes.
Even in 1914 the tanning industry
was prosperous: in perhaps a major
ity Of cases earnings were 10 per cent
or more and only a very few suffered
losses. BY 1915 and 1917 II was rather
unusual for a company to earn less than
20 per cent. A similar comparison for
manufacturers of shoes shows that more
than twice as many made a profit of 20
per cent. or more in 1915 and 1917 as
did in 1914.

shoe merchants cannot be stated, but
It il evident from the volume OF bust
nsss they had and from the gross mar
gins Of profit they secured per pair of
shoes that their business was very
profitable. Taking into consideration all
the circumstances, especially the cir.
cumstance that the United States was
engaged in war, the large profits taken
by slsughterers for hides. by shoe manu-
facturers, and retail shoe dealers can
not be justified, and there Is consequent
ly no justification for prices that con-
sumers have been compelled to pay for
shoes" .

Costs Remain Same.

1.-THE absolute amount of money neces-
sary to conduct business in 1917 and
1913 was greater than In 1914. but the
relative cost of doing business prac-
tically did not change. The percentage
of total sales of dealers that was ex-
pended for the conduct of business was
approximately the same in 1917 and 1918
as It was in 1914. The volume of bust
ness of more than 90 wholesalers in
creased 80 per cent in four years, while
their actual expenses in dollars and
cents increased only "a per cent.
THE actual expense of SO retailers
handling a general line of good shoes
was 26 per cent. OF their sales in 1914.
and the expense OF 81 dealers In 1917
was the same. Stores handling popular
priced shoes had a lower rate OF ex-
pense as compared with sales than the
general class Of dealers. 1t is to be
noted also. these popular price stores
had a lower rate of expense In 1918
than they had In years prior to- that
time.
Taking into consideration all the cir
cumstances, the high prices of shoes in
1917 and 1913 cannot be Justified
Leather manufacturers, shoe manufac-
turers, and retail shoe merchants all
made unprecedented profits.
"It should be noted in this connec-
ton that prices were bound to advance
considerably between 1914 and 1917,
even though no large profits were OBJ
tanned. There was an increase In the
cost Of hides and. all ether materials
used in the manufacture OF leather. The
shoe manufacturer had to pay much
higher prices for leather and other ma :
terials and also more for labor as the
war progressed. While the shoe mer-
