INCREASE SHOWN
FOR RUBBER SOLES
Factories Are Unable to
Cope With Many
,s Orders

The rubber companies report for
the current year such an enormous
increase in the demand for fabric
shoe shoe with rubber soles that
their factories with a stimulated pro-
duction greater than ever before are
unable to cope with their orders.
This great increase in business of
this character is due, to the improve
ment in style and quality and due
also to the extreme cheapness Of
the product as compared with
leather footwear.
One bit Of fiction that has gained
wide circulation is that rubber soles
hurt the eyes. Where this fairy
tale originated is doubtful, but is has
persisted for many years. After ex-
haustive investigation it has been
proved that there is no basis of
truth for thought of this kind.
Another stock argument that rub
Der sole shoes draw the feet has
been discounted. In the better
grades of shoes Of this kind a heavy
fibre inner sole is used with ground
cork filling between the inner sole
and the outer sole, thus giving the
same protection against burning as
is found in the best made leather
shoes. In the other grades a heavy
felt or fabric combination inner sole
is used. a'2@a f@ ..'''0

Efforts to End Strike
Of Longshoremen Fail
Move Spreads as Teamsters Re.
fuse to Handle Baggage
From SOund Piers

All efforts to end the strike Of che
coastwise longshoremen, which has
been holding UP the food supplies Of
the city, met with failure yesterday.
Immediately after session Of the
National Adjustment Commission ut
45 Broadway, which failed to produce
any change in the situation, T. V.
OConnor, president of the Longshore-
mems Union, went to Washington to
confer with the heads of the Shipping
Board.
The situation yesterday was further
complicated by signs of insurgency
in the ranks Of the Marine Engineers,
Masters Mates and Pilots. A number
of members Of this union engaged in
railroad work, threaten to secede
from ,the union. Five hundred team
sters throughout the city also went on
strike yesterday, refusing to handle
baggage from Sound line piers.
William Leonard, secretary Of the
Marine Engineers Beneficial Associa-
tion, Of 26 Park Place, admitted yes
terday there was friction among the
members Of the union, but added the
trouble had not yet come to head.
Chairman William z. Ripley, of the
National Adjustment Commission,
who is professor Of economics Mt
Harvard, declared after yesterdays
hearing the commission had not been
able to bring about settlement Of
the strike. He said as result Of the
strike the immense stock of food
stuffs in Southern states is facing
utter ruin.

Bad Dollars for Bogus Beer
Flood of Counterfeit Descends

Silver dollars that were less than
one-half of per cent legal tender have
been good enough to buy a great many
gallons of beer which is less than one
haif of per cent alcohol, according to
a discovery made yesterday simul-
taneously in a dozen different Manhat-
tan banks.
Purveyors of approximate beer who
deposited their recent takings yester-
day morning found to their grief that
very large proportion Of the silver in
their receipts was spurious coin. De-
partment Of Justice experts who are in

dollar is the best imitation they have

Good morning!

Who Shall Be
Nominated for the
Next President?

The question as to who is to be
elected next November by the
votes of the women 1--WE hope) and
the men of the United States is
now uppermost in the minds Of the
people and talked of by all.
The platform of principles on
which the President is to- stand
and administer national affairs
must also be carefully put to-
gether.
One of it's most important
planks is the Tariff, whose sole
object should be to maintain en-
ploynent of American labor.
The origin of the word "farjf'
is interesting, especially to the
new voters. 1t grew out of a
fixed scale of duties assessed
upon all merchandise at fortress
commanding the entrance to the
Mediterranean Ocean on a Span
ish promontory called Tarifa,
running out into the Straits of
Gibraltar. This fortress was said
to have belonged at one time to
the Moors, and from it they
watched and halted and took toll
from the merchant ships coming
and going.
The United States must either
place an embargo upon the ex-
porting of ts.products past that
point at which scarcity for
home consumption is created,
thereby raising the prices of the
homeland requirements, or it
must increase the home output to
maintain former normal prices.
