BIG SHOE PLANTS
! ARE CURTAILING
Worcester Factories Letting Help Go =
Leather Industry Affected BY
Public's Refusal to Buy.

WORCESTER, Mass june l2.-The
wave of enforced curtailment in produc-
ton which has swept the shoe industry
of the nation during the past few months
has affected Worcester shoe factories and
many employees have been thrown out of
work At least three of the largest shoe
manufactures in the city have been forced
10 cut production and in one plant alone
80 workers are on the unemployed list
Retail shoe dealers throughout the Uni
ted States, alarmed at the nationwide de-
mands of the public for reduction in
prices and fearing TO become stocked up
with highpriced goods, have been shut
ting off on orders for months Many of
,he larger shoe manufacturing concerns
Of the country have received not more
than 80 per cent of the normal amount
Of orders tins spring Summed up by a
prominent local shoe man last night, the
situation through which the industry now
is passing is one of the most critical
in wears
The leather industry has suffered through
the curtailment of shoe production. Many
large leather factories in the state whose
outputs were used by shoe concerns have
closed down entirely while others are work
ing at reduced scales. The Worcester
Counter company, subsidiary of the
Grafton knight company, has paid off about
GO workers. The counter company turns
ont shoe findings, etc Numerous similar
concerns in Massachusetts, are retrenchine
also.

VICE PRESIDENT
TALK is BEGUN
Believed Senator Harding Would Be
Good Vote Getter I'm Ohio
Many Other Names Suggested.

CHICAGO, June l2-Wearied and with
nerves frayed from their battle over the
nomination, the party leaders face the
fact that one of their most important
tasks remains after those two are out of
the way-the selection of the right vice
presidential candidate, a man who will
strengthen the ticket as vote and who
rs big enough, to fill the shoes of the
president if need be,
There is a long list of available vice
presidential material The possibility of
inducing one of the Big Three to accept
the second place, after it has become
certain he cannot have first, is still in the
minds of many. Senator johnson has
SAID he would not accept anything but
iIst place The same intimation has come
from the Wood and Lowden tents, but
things look different sometimes after the
battle Is lost.
Others who are in the front rank of the
viee-presidential possibilities are Senator
Harding Ohio, Gov, Sproul (Pa.), Gov
Allen (Kan), Nicholas Murray Butler (N
W, Senator Edge On. j., Senator Poin-
dexter (Wash.) Gov, Coolidge Mass. J,
Gov Morrow (Ky.) and Senator Watson
/ Qnd), None of these is an avowed can
didate for second place All are active or
receptive candidates for first.
| Senator Harding is an important factor
because he comes from a state which the
Republicans lost in 1916, and which may
be vital to the success of the party next
November. Ohio, which used to be among
the rock ribbed Republican states, bids fair
to be in the doubtful column for many
/ wears to come. 1t is understood that Sen
ator Harding believes his chances of being
elected vice-presdent are better than his
chances of being reelected to the senate
Gov Allen is being considered because
/ of his popularity throughout the country
/ with the liberal conservative wing OF the
party and his strength particularly iii his
home and neighboring states which the
4 Republican must cary to win. Gov Nor
| row, as a Southern man, might help the
party to break into the Solid South, and
has Strength on that account, aside from
his personal magnetism and ability as q
Icampaigner. If it is thought best to &C
to the East, Governor Coolidge Of Massa
chnsetts seems "a be the mast likely man
Senator Lodge (Mass) does not wan
! the vlse presidential nomination ano
would not take it if it was offered to lnm
Nevertheless his name will be presented
to the convention for that post by th'
Z Oregon delegation. Without his consent
some one placed Senator Lodges name OF
the primary ballot in that state and h
received the party Endorsement. 1t is ex
pected he will withdraw as soon as n
name is presented to the convention
