Ware Of Price Cutting
Has Reached Washington

From, The Tribunes Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 19.-The wave
of price cutting hit Washington to-day,
when several leading merchants an
nounced reductions of from 15 to Is
per cent in clothing and other necessi-
ties. The cost of foodstuffs, however,
remains as high as ever.
Two large retail estaI. shmcnts an
nounced fiat reductions of 20 per cent
on the prices of their goods. One was
a mems clothing establishment and
the other a women's wear house.
In the past few days the largest re-
tail merchants in the city have an
nounced that they are reducing their
prices on clothing. furnishings and
shoes, from Is to so per cent.
Washington merchants, however, are
predicting that there will be no further
reductions. The present cut in prices,
they said, is due to the unreasonable
spring weather which has caused many
persons to curtail buying. with the re-
suit that the clothing and furnishings
stores are oil over-stocked. With
shelves filled with goods that should
have been moved month ago and
with bills to be met, the merchants
said that no other course was open to
them but to make prices sufficiently
attractive to buyers to influence them
to purchase

Women Urged to Combat
Proposed Style Changes
Longer Skirts and Goats Pla,
TO Keep Prices Up, Says De-
p0rfnlent OF Justice lid


COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 19-Fash-
ions decree that women's skirts and
coats must be longer, as adopted by
the National Cloak, Suit and Skirt
Manufacturers Association in Cleve-
land last week. is looked upon as
means to keep up the price of women's
clothing by the department Of wom
ems activities of the Department of
Justice. The call has been sent out
for women to fight the proposed
change by wearing their old clothes.
In a telegram to Mrs. W. P. Sharp, of
Columbus, state chairman Of women's
activities of the Department of JUS
tice, Edith c. Strauss, of the Washing
ton office, urges women to lay aside
their spring and winter clothes with
determination tc wear them next
fall and winter unless there is a rad
ical drop in the cost of women's gar
ments"
The telegram calls attention to the
action of the National Cloak, Suit and
Skirt Manufacturers Association in
adopting the new styles, and the dec
laration of M. Printz, Cleveland, chair
man Of the association, that the price
Of women's garments will be higher
next fall.
"These two statements are intended
to nullfy the efforts of you and the
women of your state to bring down
the cost of women's garments. This is
an apparent effort to bring about an
increased price by radical changing of
the present styles" the telegram says.
+ 1t concludes:
"The women of this country can pre-
vent this increase in prices, we'll as
bring about an actual reduction in
prices, by their continued sane and
conservative buying. They should wear
old clothes until prices are reduced"

u. S. viii Investigate
High Butter Prices

The United States District At
torney intends to find out why
butter is selling at 60 cents
pound wholesale and for from 70
to II cents a pound retail, when
the best month for dairy farms is
approaching. Two hundred and
eighty tons of butter sent to Ger
many by Armour G. Co. was re-
turned to this port yesterday on
the steamship South Pole, the
German dealers refusing to ac-
cept it because the price was too
high.
Armin w. Riley, who conducts
the raids of the Department of
Justice against high prices,
thinks a talk he had with men,
bers of the Retail Clothiers and
Furnishers' Association at it's
dinner two weeks ago had a lot
to do with the reduction in cloth
ing prices. He prophesied yes
terday the price of clothes was
in for "a hard fall all along the

Omaha Price War Stvan,ps
Big Department Stores

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
OMAHA, Neb., May 19.-All retail
business has been enormously increased
by the price war in which the leading
stores here have been participating this
week. Virtually all of the business done
is limited only by the number of clerks
and employees. "Our business is bet.
ter than during the Christmas shopping
season. said f. M. Reynolds, head Of
one big department store.
"We have an enormous increase" re-
ports Burgess-Nash Company, one of
the largest stores. "The per cent of
increase is so great we are afraid to
name it. We are doing simply an enor-
nous business"
Brandels Stores, the largest west of
the Missouri River, reports capacity
business. "More business than we can
handle" said the manager. "If we
could double our number of clerks, we
could keep them busy"
The price war now includes virtually
all lines except foodstuffs, the only drop
in food prices being at one restaurant
where cut of 80 per cent has been
made.

Chicago Merchants Refuse

CHICAGO, May 19.-W While reports
were coming from all over the country
Of the slashing Of prices of clothing,
food and other commodities, Chicago
merchants sat tight to-day in the be
lief that "the price-cutting movement
is unjustifed by market conditions at
present"
An officer of one of the big depart
ment stores characterized the move
ment as an "indication that merchants
were trying to satisfy hysterical de-
mand from the public for lower prices.
Another merchant said ANY store
cutting its prices 20 per cent has either
been profiteerng or is taking a direct
loss"

ut stands to reason" he declared,
"that merchants cannot go on selling
at prices below wholesale cost, or much
lower than honest merchants have been
selling for during the past few weeks
"The customers of this store have not
objected to our prices, which are based
or the same ratio of profit we have
made for years. This price cutting Is
just furry of hysteris. Merchants are
losing their heads The production is
subnormal, labor is scarce and delivery
of goods uncertain. Prices gradually
will become lower, but the situation
will depend much on the law of supply
and demand"
Reaction Is Predicted
The largest retailer Of shoes in this
city declared the merchants are doing
all possible to meet the public's wishes
for lower prices, but he predicted dras-
tic cutting will create bad reaction.
"In other words" he added, "unlcss
merchants have been making too much
profit on their shoes they will be forced
to disillusion the public after the
spring sales are over, with prices near
ly as high or as high as they were be-
fore the reductions"
On the other hand, it was indicated
Yesterday that American merchants
we're lust in time with their cuts on
mems suits, because a British concern
had begun to invade the New York
market with suits at SIS, regardless of
import duties. The offer was made to
New York corporations in behalf Of
their employees, and first to take ad
vantage were the New York Life In
Life Insurance Company and large
harvester corporation. Fifteen hundred
suits were ordered by the life insur-
ance companies.
The clothing, according to Alex Lee
Wallau, American representative of the
English company, is part of the British
governments stock of five million suits
made for its civilian army.
Five million SUITS" explained Mr..
Wallau, in his Offices at 1882 Broadway,
"were made up for the men retiring
modified so rapidly that the govern
ment could not supply the clothes. 1t
accordingly gave the soldiers the op-
ton of taking q sum of money or a
suit. The War Department had about
100000 suits left on its hands We
have about $4,000 of these, which we
are Offering only to employers of labor,
so they will reach the wearers exclu-
sive of a trading profit"
]. P. Bird, president of the National
Association of Manufacturers, now in
annual session at the Waldorf, sees a
ray of hope for increased production.
"This proposition of reducing prices
is going to cause an armistice in buy
ing among both manufacturers and re-
tailers," sfid Mr.. Bird. "They believe
that, by letting up on buying, produc-
ton will h,ve an opportunity to catch
up"
Information from New York whole

Gated that American merchants gen
orally have decreased buying to such
an extent that the wholesalers will not
draw heavily on the manufacturers for
some time to come. The silk market
was reported almost at standstill and

merchants are almost unanimous in the
opinion that there will be no spectac-
ular fall in prices or transformation
of general market conditions here.
They believe there will be no perma
nent cut in prices until production
overtakes demand. That condition is
not yet a fact, they declare.
Merchants, however, say they are
playing "close to the board" in the
matter of laying in supplies, particu-
larly supplies Of clothing and dry goods
for next winter.
They take the view that 20 and 80
per cent cuts in prices in other cities
should not be considered as indicating
