EXPLAIN INCREASED
COST OF CLOTHING
A Suit of Clothes Costing SO in 1914
Now Costs S2O.36-Reduction of
Hours Increases Cost.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Manufactur-
ers of clothing for men are seriously
considering propaganda informing
the consumers of every detail of the
industry and acquainting the public
relative to the increased costs of work
ing materials and labor. In order to
Offset any question and doubt on the
part of the consumers, comparative
prices of wooden, silk and cotton Innings
and labor costs will be tabulated and
appear in advertising form in the press
throughout the country.
This movement is being engineered
by the National Association of Clio
THEIRS through its executive committees
and will shortly be acted upon by the
association as a whole. This work will
be rushed to completion in order that
the plans may be submitted to those as
sembled at the convention of the Ma
tional Association of Retail Clothiers
to be held in Chicago before the mid
die of the present month. Complete
vindication of charges of profteering
will be gone after in this campaign if
present plans and intentions are carried
out.
In brief, the cutting trade will place
their cards on the table and endeavor
to show conclusively by facts and fig
ures that a suit of clothes of fairly good
quality which cost manufacturers SO
for conversion in 1914, now cost $20.36,
and with the increased cost of materials
and the advance in wages just granted
| the operatives, will stand the manu-
| facturers $27 for conversion for spring
of next year. A considerable proper
tion of the percentage increase in cost
/ is due, it will be explained to reduc-
ton of fifty-four to fortyfour hours
per week; similar reductions in the
wooden and cotton fabric mills in adj
dition to enormous wage increases all
along the line. Information now being
prepared for the propaganda will show
that piece goods formerly costing $3.50
to So yard, now cost 81, to So yard,
and that Innings, trimmings and even
the buttons have advanced proportion
ately.
The members of the National Associ-
alton of Clothiers and especially its of
fcers say that they are glad for this
opportunity of placing themselves on
record, especially as all indications
point to marked increases in cost OF
suits and top coats for at least the
next two seasons ahead They point
out that present prices are really
lower than they should be considering
production charges, due to the fact that
labor agreements on which they base
their selling price have been broken by
the operatives, one after another anC
that an advance of 50 which was tc
become effective Sept. l, was passed
early in the summer and a So increase
additional has just been agreed upon
with proviso that this is final. These
same manufacturers say that some
, grades of woolens for spring are 40 pei
cent higher than identical fabrics were
. marked during the early days of the
fall purchasing season.

OF PRINCE
HAS VARIED EFFECT
ON GERMAN PEOPLE
Many Are Bitterly Dis
appointed, While Others
Are Partly Enraged.
MAJORITY is CONVINCED
HE WILL SEEK THRONE
Generally Agreed in Berlin That
Sensational Development
Complicates Matters.
NEVER POPULAR WITH PEOPLE
Friedrich Wilhelm Considered Buga-
boo of Pan-Gernans and Personifi.
cation of Milftarsm to Radicals.

BERLIN. June 26.-Like an electric
spark the news flashed through Ger
many today that Friedrich Wilhelm,
the eS-kaiser's eldest son and heir
has fed from his exile at wieringen,
Holland. and is now somewhere in
Germany"
But the news had a widely different
effect upon the various classes of the
population. Summing it up briefly. the
overwhelming majority of the German
people are bitterly disappointed. and
even partly enraged at the return OF
this arch-representative OF swagger-
ing Junkerism.
In official quarters it is conceded
that this sensational development is
bound TO complicate murters. and this
at a moment when the people already
are torn and racked BY the bitterest
emotions.
Believe He Seeks Throne.
The ex-crown princes sanctuary in
his own country will be precarious,
and perhaps brief, The. Spartacists,
preparing for a nationwide revolu-
tion. hail his arrival as the best
imaginable propaganda for their cause.
Nor does the bulk OF the German peo-
pie doubt for moment that Friedrich
Wilhelm has any aim and interest
other than re-establishing the throne.
Had the ex-Kaiser himself escaped
anu crossed Dack into Germany the
event would not have had half the
depressing effect. for few believe the
ex-monarch still harbors hopes of re-
gaining the crown. and sympathy with
him-as a private citizen and as such
alone-is widespread. The ex-crown
prince. however. never popular with
the real masses, though worshiped by
sporting lieutenants and adored by a
host of ''1appers," is bugaboo even
TO the Pan-Germans and the very per-
sonification OF militarism to the radi-
calls and Socialists
Seek to Unite Fnctions.
The first move on his part for the
establishment OF the monarchy
would go far toward rcunitinE the
independent and majority Socialists.
Meanwhile the internal situation Is
growing worse hourly. Hamburg, Ger
many's biggest commercial port, Is
completely in the hands of Spartacists,
who have liberated all political prison.
ers and imprisoned all government
troops refusing 10 come over to their
side.
Here in Berlin the situation is ap-
preaching crisis. BATTLES began to
develop in the streets. barricaded like
fortresses. late this afternoon.
