$24.5O for Mems Suits
"Visionary" Say Dealers

A $24.50 price for mems suits and
overcoats, outlined by Chicago merch-
ants as a fair price, is characterized
by Richmond dealers as visionary.
They admit that the price Is fair un-
der ideal conditions, but under the
present conditions, is utterly impos-
sible.
Innumerable reasons were advanced
by Richmond merchants why this
price was visionary. chief Of which is
the high wage paid to labor. Labor,
these merchants say, years ago was
making about 500 for 60 hour week.
Today these same garment workers
are drawing from $40 to $50 for a As
hour week. This means that the price
has advanced, while production has
been cut.
One clothier says that ordinarily he
orders 300 suits of high grade make.
This spring the factory will only allow
him $50 suits and will set no price
until delivery. He forecasts q con-
siderable increase. This factory is 10.
Gated in Chicago, and has two shifts
of tailors working in order to keep up
with production.
Dealers in women's wear say that
the $25 price is simply dream. The
same conditions hold good in the
manufacture of women's garments
that are experienced in the manufac-
ture of mems clothes. At that the
price for women's garments is fairer
to the retailer than the price set for
mems clothing.

American Legion, through Franklin
d'Olier, its Grand Commander. tonight
called on congress for immediate en-
actment of legislation giving to former
service men "the consideration they
deserve at the hands of their govern

spect to disabled service men il ser
ious difficulties" are to be avoided
later by the government.
Principles upon which present gov

were described by Mr.. d'Olier as being
entirely sound" but "also entirely
inadequate" He added that as re-
suit of informal conferences today be-
tween members of congress and dele
gates to the convention it was evident
that Congress is not alive to the nec-
essities of the situation"
1t Is plainly evident to the confer
ence of American Legion representa-
tives, the Legion Commanders, state
ment said, that il disabled service
men and their families. and all former
service persons in the United States

Grafton at the hands of the govern
ment, immediate action on the part OF

and comfort to them. But In its cam

Ing means with which It can work
harder than ever at its old task Of do
ing good to men and women in distress
Of body or mind; Of caring for chill
dren, reclaiming outcasts in prison
and out, finding Jobs for people who
cannot help themselves, maintaining
homes and hospitals, and In scores of
other ways mlnistering to the mate
rial and spiritual needs Of suffering
and unfortunate humanity.
This opportunity for the American
people. and New Workers In particu-

ganization which has devoted itself to
guod works In the United States for
thirty-nIne years. and which won the
affection and gratitude Of the Ameri-
can army by bringing aid and COM
fort to the front fighting line, opens
formally tomorrow, and the actual
