Passage Of Dawson Bills Will
Not Disturb Philadelphia Ap-
pointments, Says Senator
Bv q star Correspondent

Harrisburg. June Ex-senator T.. II.
Ware has engineered deal by which
the Republican organization in Phila-
delphia will not be deprived of its rich
patronage in the Office of the mcrCan
tile appraiser and the register Of wills.
The House yesterday passed finally
the Dawson bills which give sole power
of appointment Of mercantile apprais
ers and clerks employed in the register
Of wills office for the collection "f tho
direct Inheritance tax to the auditor
general
The power formerly was conferred
Jointly on the auditor general and city
treasurer. Auditor General Snyder is
a penrosc lieutenant and it was an
ticipated that he would rip the Ware
men out of office.
Senator Ware apparently has put
through some arrangement with tho au-
ditor general by which the Ware or
ganization mcn are to be retained.
1t may be that the Dawson bills
will be amended when they reach the
Senate. so as to take Philadelphia
county out of the provisions of III" bill.
''Tho appointment Of mercantile ap-
praisers in Philadelphia will not hc
taken out or the hands Of City Treats
urer Shoycr and the appointment m
clerks and inspectors to the register of

only comment Senator Ware would
make.
None Of the state appointments in

turbed BY any legislation PASSED at IIar-
risburg this session.
This last announcement was taken
as an indication that the Republican
organization in Philadelphia expects to
retain control Of the board Of rcgiStra-
tion commissioners in spite of the pas
sage of the Daix Brady ripper.

AUTOCRAWC CONTROL
OF INDUSTRY ALLEGED
BY AMERICAN LABOR


tablished by their descendants through
revolution as land OF political free
dom. We now demand that it become
the home of industrial freedom.
This can only be accomplished by ex.
tending to industry the same right OF
individual freedom recognized by the
founders of our government in estab-
fishing this democracy. The need of
mankind for the products of industry
must be accepted as the basic interest.
Right can only be accomplished by per-
mitting producers and consumers to share
in control of the management Of their
means of existence. The machinery for
attaining this result, we believe, is en-
bodied in the plan outlined in the Sims

"Our belief in the efficiency of this
plan is profound We embrace this plan
with all the ardor of those who sought
political freedom. In this plan we raise
the banner of democracy in control of in

with the faith of the Pilgrims, with the
convictions of the trainers Of the con
stitution and with the hope of America

PRICES OF SHOES LAID
TO EXCESSIVE PROFIT
BY ALL FACTORS
Federal Trade Commission Declares That
Packers, Tanners, Manufacturers
and. Retailers Are Charging
More Than They Should.

Washington, D. G., Aug 6.--The high
price OF shoes gwas declared to be due
to excessive profits taken by every f9 tor
in the shoe production industry in a re.
port by the federal trade commission to
Congress made public to-day. The pack
ers were charged with having begun the
pyramiding of shoe prices by an unwar-
ranted increase in the price of hides,
the supply of which they were said TO
control On the top of this increase it
was charged, the tanners have taken
Exceptional profits" while the shoe
manufacturers have demanded an 'uu-
usual Margin" and the retailers have
charged prices that are mot justifiable y
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 be-
gun more than a year ago, ii was said.
II has been in the presidents hands for
some time, and il is understood that he
urged It's speedy printing and transmit
tai to Congress in connection with eff
forts of the government to combat the
high cost of living.
To show that the packers during the
last four years have made unwarranted
increases in the price of packer" hides,
the report pointed out that the price
differential between their hides and
country hides slides of lower grade
has increased "far beyond the usual pro.
portion" Charges of excessive profits
sgainst the tanner and the shoe manu-.
fscturer were said to be supported by
"the high rates of return on invest
ments," in both industries following the
price increases.
"The public said the report, chad to
pay prices for shoes that not only could
not be justified because retail shoe deal
ers took too much profits, but because
the dealers had to pass on to the con
sumer the excessive profits received by
butchers for hides and also the excess
profits of tanners and shoe manufac-
turers."
"Some relief from the ntolerable
prices paid by consumers for shoes may
be had" the commission said, by:
GA rigid enforcement Of the laws
against monopolistic control of commo-
dities;
"2-Legislation forbidding producers
of hides engaging in the tanning busi-
ness, and
"3-The adoption of a device in the
distribution of shoes that will acquaint
the consumer with the selling prices of
the manufacturers.

WILL FORCE EIGHT HOUR DAY
In United States Steel Corporation, Pre-
diets Frank Morrison.

Washington, d. G., Aug. 6.-Prediction
that labor would organize the United
States Steel corporation and establish
the eight hour day for its employees was
made to-day by Frank Morrison, secre-
tary of the American Federation of La
Dor, testifying before congressional
committee at railroad bill hearing
"The steel trust" Mr. Morrison said,
refuses to permit its employees to organ
ize and does not permit them to hold
public meetings in Pennsylvania. 1t is
just such acts by representatives Of a
great corporation that has created un-
rest in this country, which now is at the
danger point"
Representative Dennison, Republican,
Illinois, wanted to know how the Plumb
plan bill for control of railroads which
was under discussion would affect unrest
among steel workers.
ut would bring hope to them that at
some future time it would prove helpful
to them," the witness said at would
mean the hope of shorter hours. With
the present great development of the la
Dor movement, with the steadily increas-
ing membership, / believe we viii organ
ize the steel trust and establish the
eight hour day"
