GIMBEL WRITES OF JAPAN
Store Official Tells How Patrons
There Check Shoes

Adam Long GimbeI. vice president
of Gimbel Brothers, who is travelling
in Japan, in letter received yesterday.
described department store with about
2500 employees in Toxic. He wrote ::
Every man. woman and child enter
ing the store is required to check his or
her shoes or sandals. At the main en-
trance, thirty coolies are busily engaged
checking the footwear. They place the
sandals, shoes or slippers on endless
belts, which convey them to-the exit.
There the customers reclaim their
shoes"
Fortunately, Mr.. Gimbel explains,
the tipping nuisance is unknown in
Nippon, and, consequently, the ,lapa-
nesc do not spend from twelve to fifty
five times the cost price of their shoes
"bailing them out" as Americans and
other Occidentals are accustomed to do
with their hats.
The reason for the shoe checking rule,
says Mr.. Gimbel. is the fact that the
Japanese department store floors are
highly polished. carved, inlaid and
otherwise artistically ornamented and
that the owners just simply can't stand
to see them scratched.
Mr.. Gimbel has been travelling in
various parts of the Orient for more
than four months in order to establish
business relations.

SOFT COAL DEFICIT
STEADILY GROWING
Increase Of 100000 Tons
Weekly Needed to Assure
Supply for Winter
CAR PRIORITY FAVORED
BY the Associated Press

Washington, July 10.-The Inter
state Commerce Commission, with only
a few more witnesses to be heard. ex-
pected to complete today its hearings to
determine whether there should be

preference in the assignment of railway
cars. J. d. A. Morrow, vice president
of the National Coal Association, was
one of the final witnesses.
Much divergent testimony has been
placed before the commission during the
several days of investigation Some wit
nesses have urged that the order be
modified SO that certain Industries might
share in the car distribution, while
other interests, particularly representa-
tives of states where coal shortage this
winter threatens. have insisted on the
necessity for strict enforcement of the
policy. Representatives of the miners
who testified yesterday argued that an
adequate car supply to the mines would
insure a greater coal production and a
consequent reduction in the price.
Mr.. Morrow, in his appeal for con
tinuation of the thirty day priority
order for open top cars at bituminous
mines, told the commissioners that an
acute shortage of coal would prevail as
long as there was an inadequate supply
of cars at the mines, and asserted that
ample shipments of coal would decrease
speculative prices. At least 545, 900, =
| 600 tons of coal will be required for
| the current year ending March 81, the
! witness stated, pointing out that much
of this will be needed to make up a
shortage of $4,000, 900 tons that ordi-
narily would have been in reserve last
April. Since that time shipments from
the mines have ben 1,245, 900 tons a
week below the requirements. making
total shortage of between 10000, ,00C
to $4,000, 900 tons, he declared. .
An average weekly production OF
| IL, ,0000 900 tons should be maintained
until December 1, Mr.. Morrow said. il
the country Is to have the aggregate pro :
duction needed to make up the deficit
and carry it through the winter. AT
present the weekly production Is ap-
proximately 1O, 400 900 tons, he stated
The witness denied that a great vol
ume of export coal business has pro,
duced shortage in this country. "Tht
total export Of bituminous coal to JULY
l was only 5000, 900 TONS" he said
"but in that time the total domestic
shortage was approximately $4,000, ,O0(
