A WORD OF WARNING

: 1t was word of timely caution
which was addressed by Prof. Ripley
of Harvard to the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers convention, which
met recently in Boston He was
doubly qualified TO speak. He had
previously been in intimate touch
with these workers on wage and
working conditions. He is a member
of one of the professions which have
suffered most from the climb in liv-
ing costs.
Exhibiting the frayed and patched
lining of his coat, he reminded the
makes Of coats that not only college
professors but millions of other folks
now feel unable to buy clothing at
present prices,-not to mind still
dearer garments threatened-and are
now extracting from existing ward
robes a wear prolonged at the ex-
pense of looks or comfort. Only a
brief abstinence of that sort by mil
lions of people means a big differ
ence in volume of new goods mar
keted. Carried far enough because of
rising costs and prices, the conse-
quent resentment of the public may
mean, the garment workers were re-
minded, little or nothing left for them
to divide with the manufacturers as
net profits of the industry.
The public which only little while
ago seemed eager to buy only apparel
of the costliest kinds, with little re-
gard for price, has visibly altered
its attitude. 1t has virtually gone on
a strike of its own against the latest
series of price tags that confronted
it-and predictions made that the
next lot of tags would read still
higher. The applied psychology of
the situation has finally developed
The public has at last reacted to the
sermonizing it has had from many
quarters, and also has apparently lost
the first flush of self-indulgence in
buying. Other new cost advances, in
things less easily done without, may
have helped this last development.
The result is the "old clothes" and
"overalls" mood.
Yet this very season-when the
first reflections of these new senti-
ments are found in talk Of cancela-
tions and in retail price cuts-is the
very time that some of the garment
makers choose for talking very stifly
about what they want in the way of
further advantages in employment.
Even the elements-in a cheerless
spring-have been combining against
the markets they work for. It may
possibly prove that a scare this
spring in manufacturing and retailing
lines may mean a real scarcity of
goods next fall, however slowly such
goods seem now to be moving off
counters.
