HIGH SHOE PRICES HELD
DUE TO EXCESSIVE PROFIT
GRAB ALL ALONG THE LINE

Washington, Aug 6.-The high price
of shoes was declared to be due to ex-
cessive profits taken by every factor in
the shoe production industry. in a re-
port by the federal trade commission
to congress, made public today. The
packers are charged with having begun
to pyramiding shoe prices by an I'm
warranted increase in the price of
hides. the supply of which they con
troled. The tanners have taken "excep-
tional profits" while the shoe manufac-
turers have demanded an unusual
margin, and the retailers have charged
prices that are mot justifiable,' the
report asserted.
The commissions report covers the
four year period from 1914 to 1918.
To show that the packers have made
unwarranted increases in the prices of
packer hides, the report pointed out
that the price differential between their
hides and country" hides-hides of a
lower grade-has increased far beyond
the usual proportion" Charges of ex-
cessive profits against the tanner and
the shoe manufacturer We're said to be
caused by ''thc high sates Of return on
investments" in both industries, follow
ing the price increases.

Didn't Press u. 6. Plan.

"The public" said the report. had
to pay prices for shoes that not only
could not be justified because shoe
retail dealers took too much profit, but
because the dealer had to pass on to the
consumer the excessive profits received
by butchers for hides and also the cx-
cess profits of tanners and shoe manu-
facturers."
Some relief from the intolerable
prices paid by consumers for shoes may
be bad" the commission said.
"1-By. a rigorous enforcement of
the laws in control on commodities.
'2-Lcgislation for bidding producers
of hides engaging in the tanning busi-
ness.
'3-The adoption of distribution of
literature that will acquaint the consum-
er with the selling prices of the manu-
facturer.
Because of increases in the costs of
materials during the war, prices were
bound to advance considerably. even tho
no large profits were obtained. the re-
port said. But leather manufacturers,
shoe manufacturers and RETAIL shoe
merchants all made unprecedented
profits"

sovereignty to China, retaining only
the economic privileges granted to
Germany and the right to establish a
settlement under the usual conditions
