SHORTAGE OF FAST
DYES BRINGS CRISIS
Lack of Vat Colors Hits Shirt
ing Industry Hard--Action
Is Imperative.

The situation with respect to dyes in
the shirting industry has reached a
crisis, according to manufacturers.
Vat colors are needed for cotton shirt
ings, but they are not available in
sufficient quantities, and the industry
is said to be facing a serious predica-
ment. These colors are used not only
in the dye of cotton shirtings but in
yarns and for fast color printing on
shirtings.
Matters are agreed to have come to,
the point where either the Govern
ment will have to allow the importa-
ton from Germany either with or
without license Of vat dyes m suffi-
cent quantities to insure. against any
further shortage. or methods must be
utilized in this country, 1t Is said, to
produce vat dyes that will stand the
laundry test. Many printers are said
to be now out of hello colors and have
advised the shifting interests they
have little of any vat colors left.
The National Association of Shirt
Manufacturers has taken the matter
up with the War Trade Board, stating
that the shirt industry understands
no vat colors are being made in this
country and that printers are depend
ing upon old imported stock or late
imports. A great deal of mystery has
surrounded the dye situation from the
shirt manufacturers standpoint, which
has permitted extreme price advances.
This should be cleared up for the best
interests of everybody.
Consumers when obliged to pay SO
for old 81 value Chat has fast colors)
are entitled to the best dye possible,
not the fugitive colors of American
manufacturers"

Best Overcoats Likely
to Be $500 Next Winter

THAT some of the exclusive
Fifth avenue tailors are likely
i to charge 5000 rather than
500 for overcoats next winter Is the
belief of Morris May, vice-president
of the A. B. Kirschbaum Company.
Speaking at a meeting OF statesmen
in the Hotel Aston, he said that he
had heard of cases recently where
one prominent tailor had been reluc-
tant to take orders for suits for fall
at $175.
High prices for clothing will con-
tinue for at least three years, he
said, adding that the coming spring
will see the highest prices that ever
have been known in the market.
Goods that were bought for $1.37 a
yard in 1914 now sell for $5.25."

NAVY FEELS COB SHORTAGE.
Not Enough sailors to Commission
New Destroyers.

= BOSTON, Aug. 1.-The shortage of
sailors. which has made it necessary to
have only skeleton crews on destroyers
at Newport, r. l., is preventing the COM
at the Boston navy yard, 1t was said
to-day.
When orders were received at the yard
TO place the Swasey in commission ii
was found that the available crew con-
sisted of an officer and two men. Until
more enlisted men report the destroyer
cannot take its place among the active
vessels of the navy. The battleship
Utah, II was said. has only so per cent.
of its normal complement.
