Major Sprngue Says
Clothing Fair Price
List Will Not Work

Chicago. Doc. Fl6.-NaJor A. A.
Spraguc. chairman OF tieE fair price
committee. explained yesterday that
the fair price hat Issued by the rctaii
clothing subcommittee cutting clothes
prices TO q pre- war basis constitute
only the minimum setback" No real
reduction Of values can bc accom-
plisned, he added. until retailers gen.
orally agree upon basic margin for
handling clothes and show their whole
sale bills to prove that they are main
tasning the margin.
The clothing list IL only begin
ming In the campaign" nc said. "and
shou!d not be taken as an arbitrary
price which Chicago retailers should
charge tor clothes. AS a matter OF
fact. very little can be accom- mpl!shed
on breaking down high prices until
dealers all over tho country agree to
q set margin OF profit. This margin
should take IN all expenses and give
the dealer a fair, profit. aao believe
that national retailers viii agree to
the government suggestion next week"
, May Limit Profit to 80 Per Cent.
Clothing men. according to depart-
mcnt OF justice officials, have already
pledged co-operatton IN cutting prices.
National representatives, OF retailers
have been in conference with Howard
Ftgg ip Washington for the last month
and will hold their Anal meeting in
New York on Tuesday. The govern
ment then Is expected to set basic
profit margin OF S3 l-3 per cent on all
retail clothing sales.
"if clothing men agree to abide BY
this morgin,- Major Sprague said.
the big price question will be solved.
Illinois dealers have shown COM
nerdable interest In this campaign.
and I believe the New York con-
ference will bring early results.
Urge Two Price Tags.
After the margin is axasl we will
advocate the placing OF two price tags
on each article of sale. One will show
the wholesale price and the other the
retail price. If this is done people can
see just what the dealer Is making and
can eliminate unwiso buying. They
can also back UP demands against the
constant changing OF styles. This
habit of changing styles particularly
in women's cloth. every time the wind
changes Is one of the principal causes
for inflated values."
A canvass Of loop clothing stores
yesterday failed to reveal any fair
suits or overcoats at the fair" price
Of $24.50. Dealers protested that 1t
couldn't be done with labor, material.
and manufacturing costs at their
present figure.

PLANS MADE TO
LETG0OF ROADS
President Wilson Going For
ward With His Rail-
road Program.
CUMMINS' BILL TO
GET SENATE o. X.
bs Adopted by Narrow Margin
Amendment Under osbate 20 ELM.
irats Anti Strike Clauss-Railroads
Accused Of Violating Safety Laws
and Sixteen Hour Regulation.

Washington. Dec. 16.--Reoommenda
tions from Director General Hines ns
TO the return OF the railroads to
private control are before Mr.. Wilson.
Neither M-. Hines nor the White
House officials will say what the re-
are. Many officials
think It would be disastrous to sur
render the roads w,,hou. adequate
legislation. Meantime preparations are
going forward for turning the roaas
back as ordered by President Wilson.
Contracts of the railroad adminls;rl-
ton contain a thirty day release clause
SO they can be given up without any
loss. Surrender OF the roads would
make very little difference In actual
operation. as the roads now are being
operated by their own employees.
Cammins Bill to Pass.
The Cummins railroad bail came up
again today in the senate at ! O'Clock.
with Senator Stanley. democrat Of
Kentucky. continuing his speech.
which was interrupted by adjournment
yesterday. Mr.. Stanley has offered an
amendment TO eliminate the anti-strike
clause of this bill. Leaders predIc:
that the bill will pass this week with
q narrow margin.
Safety Laws Evaded.
Evasion OF laws 20 promote the safe
ty OF passengers and employees was
charged to the railroads of the United
States today by w. =. Borland, chief
of the buerau Of safety OF the Inter
state commerce commission, In his
annual report. In the case Of the
hours of service law which prohibit
train operatives remaining on duty
more thar sixteen hours except In ex-
traordinary clrcumstS aces, Mr.. Bor-
lands reports declared. managing Of
acers s.ad- given sat,ction to such
evasions $50 as to defeat the purpose
OF the law" He charged that safety
had been sacrificed to expediency.
Railroad COMPANIES we're said to
have paid comparatively little atten-
lion to the law regarding safety ap-
.pIiances. They are said 20 have con-
tented themselves with the minimum,
which requires that IS per cont of cacs
shall, be equipped With power brakes.
Hand brakes also were alleged still 10
be in use In some railroads on noun
tain grades altho the la% specified that
trains must be controlled by power
brakes.
:! On some roads dangerous practices
are allowed SO as to render the block
system practically useless.
