y Washington, July 31.---Enoi'mous
profiteering in womcn's dress goods

'In the majority of dress goods

it's are absorbing approximately
half the price paid by the con-
slmer.'
In support of his profiteering
charges, Mr. Lauck submitted au-
thoritative figures showing the di-
vision of cost and profits in such
well-lSnown goods as unbleached
cotton, printed percales, blue dem
i'm, wash satin, georSette crepe
and fancy WOODEN suitings.
In the case OF unbleached cot
on, which is the basis of most
cotton fabrics, the survey shows
that between 1910 and 1919 the
increase in the cost of mill labor
was only one and One-ninth cents
per ward, the increase in the cost
of all labor plus mill expenses and
the salaries of officials only two
