Labor Shortage Cuts
Cloak and Suit Output
Workers Reluctant to Return to
Factories; Small Manu-.
facturers Hurt

Although the organized cloak and
suit manufacturers and the union in
the industry have come to an agree
ment officially on new labor terms,
the workers are reluctant to return
to the factories, with the result that
fall production is still held up. The
manufacturers frankly confess they
are worried over the situation They
figure that they are losing a certain
amount of early fall business which
might readily be booked if they were
able to produce goods now.
The larger manufacturers can
weather the situation better than their
smaller brothers, many of whom have
bills for cloth maturing soon and no
revenue in sight for several months.
The question of early fall models
also is bothering the manufacturers.
Some of them were fortunate to have
their fall samples made up before the
strike was called. They have shown
these models to the buyers both in the
New York showroom and on the road
When the influx of buyers to this
market sets in about the middle of
July, these purchasers will want to
see something new and the manufact-
urers Will be rushed to make up new
samples. After a strike it takes weeks
and even months to knit together a
smooth working organization, and the
production of new samples likely will
be delayed while this reoreanization
is taking place

South Americur, BUYERS
Do Not Quibble Ouer
Cotton Goods Prices

Sales of unbleached cotton goods by
mill agents yesterday were of salts
factory volume, but trade in un-
bleached and colored fabrics was light.
Converters booked a fair number of
orders for bleached as we'll as colored
goods, and these concerns also re-
ceived some business from South
American buyers, who, it was asserted,
did not quibble about paying the ad-
vanced prices recently put in force.
In the unbleached goods division of
the market trading was confined to
small sales between converters, or So
called second hands.
The mills seemed to be steadfast in
their policy of refusing to offer goods
for future delivery. 1t was admitted
that the decreasing. price of raw cot
ton had dampened speculative buying
of the unbleached cloths. But the
mills having sold large outputs for
months to come seemed pleased with
the lull in buying. Some Of the mill
agents expressed the view that trade
probably would be quiet for about a
month, or until after July a.

Standard Measurements in
Women's Apparel Advocated

The Conference Council of Garment
Wholesalers and Retailers it is expect
ed before long will take up the ques-
ton of standard measurements for
sizes in the women's apparel industry.
The conference council is made up of
representatives of the leading associa-
tions of wholesalers and retailers
Standard sizes were discussed at The
spring meeting of the National Retail
Dry Goods Association in St. Louis. re-
Gently, and q committee to investigate
the problem was appointed at the meet
ing This committee has not vet made
a report.
Manufacturers of mems athletic un-
derwear represented in the Interna-
tional Garment Manufacturers Asso-
clatlon already have adopted standard
measurements and sizes for their
products.
Many retailers of womens apparel
complain that they cannot rely on the
sizes marked in some of the garments
they purchase from the manufacturers,
and are advocating Standardization.
1t IS said that the statistics of in
surance companies on measurements of
women are available for the use of gar
ment manufacturers in drafting their
patterns, and such statistics may be
used by the conference council if it de-
cides to prepare list of standard
measurements and sizes

Paying Higher Than Mill
Prices for Fall Woollens
Jobbers Ask Advance of Sl.5O
a Yard on Desired
Cloths

Jobbers in woollen cloths suitable
for women's fall and winter coats and
suits are getting as much as $150 a
yard above mill prices for desirable
merchandise. The mills producing the
highest class women's wear fabrics re-
stricted their output to fewer manu-
facturers this year, with the result
that many garment makers are forced
to buy needed materials from jobbers
or other manufacturers. The latter
are inclined to hold their cloth, and
there is less trading among the gar
ment manufacturers than usual
"The best mills almost required US
to show a birth certificate" said
prominent manufacturer yesterday,
when we went in to order our fall
cloths. They limited the amount we
could order, and unless we had been
doing business with them for years,
they refused our orders altogether"
Silk duvetyn, soft velour-like fab
ric, made of silk and wool mixed, ex-
pected to be a popular fabric for next
fall, is said to be particularly hard
to obtain, except at advanced prices
This cloth, which a certain mill sold
at $3.50 a yard at the beginning of
the season, is now being held by job
bers at SO a yard.

Silks
jobbers in Silks Do Large
Business if They
Haze Goods

Jobbing trade in silk goods yester
day was Of large volume with those
who are fortunate enough to have
stocks to trade in. Travelling salesmen
sent in liberal orders, those received
from centres with population of l0,-
900 being relatively as good as those
forwarded from the larger cities. Most
Of the trading was in nigh class silks.
Some of the jobbers intimated that if
trips to market until the middle of
August, when the fall season usually is
getting into full swing, they probably
will find little stock left from which to
make selections.
Many buyers who customarily con-
fine their operations to the uptown silk
selling district were in the salesrooms
Of downtown merchants who carry silks
in addition to cotton goods, this indi-
eating that considerable shopping is
essential in order to get supplies. The
head of one of the leading concerns
in explaining the extraordinary demand
for silks asserted that many women
who had made money in war work now
were spending some of their earnings
for sheer fabrics for crepe georgettes
and the like. These weaves, it was
stated, are regarded as luxuries, the
purchase Of which by working women
hardly would have been thought of
prior to the war.
New-York tribune., 1919-06-07

Yesterday was unusually quiet in the
commercial paper market. In New York
buying was almost at standstill.
Friday is becoming an off-day now, and
seems likely to remain so throughout
the summer. A good business came
from the country, however.
Most Of the paper being sold now
goes at 5A per cent. Some of the bro
kers have left off offering paper lower
than that. The range is from 5A
to u.
Five representative cotton mill agents
interviewed this week stated that the
cotton mills of the country were so af-
fluent that it was unnecessary for them
to borrow money from banking institu-
tions. During the war years the cotton
mills sold basic fabrics at 20 cents
yard, the cost of producing the goods
having been about 10 cents yard. AS
result surplus profits were large,
even after the payment Of the tax on
excess profits. 1t also was stated that
before the war 80 per cent of the
Southern cotton mills operated on bor-
rowed money, but to-day these mills
are in a position to supply their own

Plans for the formation of a cor

Metals
Selling Agencies Hold
Copper at II Gents a
Pound

Most of the important selling
agencies and producing interests were
reported to be holding their copper
at II cents a pound for immediate de-
livery yesterday, although so far as
could be learned very little business
was done on that basis.
As the market stands it is probable,
according to trade reports, that any
large consumer of metal can get all
the copper he wants around 16A cents
a pound despite the higher prices
asked by the so-caled big interests.
Copper metal for July and August
delivery is being offered in the mar
ket at around 17A to 1712 cents a
pound, with fairly substantial amount
of business being done.
To say that the copper trade is
optimistic is putting it mildly and pre-
dictions were made yesterday that cop
per would be selling at 20 cents a
pound by September at least. This
prediction was based on the belief that
the foreign demand will quicken once
the peace treaties have been signed
and the large foreign credits are ar
ranged.
Advices from Butte, Mont, yesterday
we're to the effect that the Anaconda
Company has announced reduction
of 10 per cent in the compensation of
salared employees in Butte. Great

Clock Factories Booking
Orders Faster Than
They Can Be Filled

New England factories, because of
the shortage of skilled labor, are re-
ceiving orders for clocks faster than
they can fill them. AS a result jobbers
and retailers are carrying small
stocks. The clock concerns say there
is no difficulty in obtaining unsklled
workers in any numbers. but that the
deficiency is in the supply of machin-
lists, die makers and other skilled
workmen.
SO far as the retailers are concerned.
there is no seasonable buying at pres
ent. They are only too willing to ac-
cept merchandise whenever it is re-
ceived, it is said Ordinarily this
would be dull season for alarm clock
business, but manufacturers declare
that the orders in hand are far in ex-
cess of the capacity of the factories
under present labor conditions
Foreign buyers, especially those
from South American countries, are
reported to be in the local market in
large numbers, all desirous of placing
orders for immediate delivery. Few,
if any, of them have succeeded in hav-
ing their orders accepted under this
condition. 1t is said that the increased
prices for all types Of clocks have
surprised the South American buyers,
as they visited the market here with
the expectation of finding prices re-
duced as the result of the signing of
the armisticc.
