Committee Will be
/ Named to Work
Out Details
They Will Be Established
in Stores to Help Folks
Buy Cheaply.
[By Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Steps to
check the rising price of clothing will
be discussed at a conference here
early in January by persons interest
ed in the production of wearing ap-
parel, from the producers of raw ma
tertal to the consumer OF the finished
product.
The calling of the conference was
announced today by Assistant Attof-
Sney General Figg, who said that in
4addition to effecting economies In
operation, It was planned to provide
'for. the production Of standard quality
/ cloth and garments for sale at a rea-
ronable price as an inducement to the
public to check extravaganza in pur-
chasing.
Suggestions for the conference camo
from producers of wearing apparel and
a'Committee Of II is being chosen, the
personnel of which will be announcer
after the Christmas holidays,
The Amalgamated Clothing Union
will be represented in the conference.
1t was generally agreed among pro-
fiucers that one essential for reducing
the cost Of clothing was to have man
ufacturers devote their plants to ne
cessities, meaning the type Of cloth
ing purchasable by the average man.
Some clothing manufacturers were
said to believe that mems suits now
selling for $55 retail could be sold at
profit for S25 IL an arrangement
could be worked out between mills,
manufacturers and retailers, whereby
a certain percentage of business cSulo
be devoted to goods Of standard quail
ity to be turned out in quantity.
"There is no intention to design a
uniform for the public" Mr.. Figg
said, and standard goods under con-
sideration would be standard in quail
fty rather than pattern.

But There May Have Been
Love Motive in His
Taking Off

Friends of Joe Altamonta said yes
terday that II he was in any way i'm.
plicated in the murder OF Dominic
Cuzzocolli which occurred some time
after November 13 after Dominic left
this city for the District Of Columbia,
he probably had justification as Joe's
wife Mary ran away with Dominic to
Cleveland, Ohio, some time ago caus-
ing much disturbance and fierce jeal-
ousy on the part Of Joe Altamonta.
She returned to her husband later.
Mary is in the city at present living
at the boarding house being run by
Altamonta in Cleveland avenue.
1t is certain, say authorities from
Washingto nthat a band Of blackhand-
ers, some from Fairmont and some
from other cities all met at Baltimore
between the 18th and 18th Of Nover-
Der. A number of these Italians have
been rounded up by officers with still
others at large.
Joe Altamonta was taken to Wash

B. & o. , Early Placement
While Poor, is Better
Than Thursday.
40 PER CENT TOMORROW
Some Few Emotios Came
From the East Last
Night

Fewer cars are in the Fairmont coal
region today on both railroads than
there we're on Thursday. There is a
forty per cent. supply on the Monon-
gah division of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad while on the Monongahela
railway there is about forty per cent.
There are 55 mines idle today be-
cause OF car shortage. This is 10 more
mines than were idle Wednesday.
While the supply OF cars is even
more limited today than yesterday the
early morning placement today is
slightly better than on Thursday but
at that 1t is very inadequate. The
early morning placement today Is 500
against 4G4 yesterday. The Monon-
gahela railway has las placed in West
Virginia and 1S1 placed in Pennsyl-
yania today.
With the car supply very much linn
tied and the placement so low the pro-
.duction in the Fairmont region will
again be hit hard and the production
today will not reach the 79o maria
fifty per cent. production or even less.
That mining operations are crippled
by the car shortage can best be
cleaned from the fact that by 2 o'clock
this morning the many operations OF
The Consolidation Coal company had
but 81 cars. Car supply was cut down
25 per cent. at the operations OF the
Jamlson Coal and Coke company while
the supply ran about the same with
the Robinson Coal company. Eight
cars headed for the Pitcairn mine Of
the Clark interests early this morn
ing Jumped a switch and that opera
ton did not have any cars at all up
until noon today.
It is understood that the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad has been blocked
recently because. OF the wholesale
western movement of coal and that eff
fort has been made to.diVert 200 loads
over the F. M. & P. branch daily, be-
ginning the early part of this week.
The accumulation of western loads to-
gether with a,series Of derailments re-
Gently has Handicapped the B. & o..
railroad considerably recently.
officials have been here this week
presumably to keep in touch with the
coal transportation, which is highly
important in view Of the coal short
age.
Future Prospects.
Indications are that the supply Of
empties will again be short on Satur-
day. There probably will be about
40 per cent, of supply tomorrow also
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
Empties yesterday began to come
both from the east and west. This
Is about the first grace Of coal emp
ties that came this direction for some
time.
Cars on the Monongahela railway
will again be short on Saturday. The
prospects are that the percentage will
not run over twenty per cent.
Car Classification.
Today on the Monongah division OF
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad there
ARE 701 open top cars and COKE cars
There were 81 cars left over from the
previous day.
Daily Production.
There were 7447 cars Of coal and
