The question that has been agi-
tating the American people since the
end OF the war. Why are clothing
prices SO high? may be answered
during the coming trial OF the Amer
lean Woolcn Company Of Massachd-
setts and the American Woolen SOr1s
pany OF New. York, commonly knoNn
a. the roolep trust and William NJ
wood. president Of both companies.
just indicted by a federal grand Jury
on charges OF profiteering.
Herbert G. Smythe. special as
sistant United States attorney gem
era1 in charge OF the prosecution,
said that the governments inquiry
had revealed that besides enormous
salaries from both companies Mr..
Wood In 1919 received $515, 1885 in
commissions.
This was charged as a part OF the
manufacturing and selling expense
and he further asserted that the
companies made an increase in cost
of more than 800 per cent over the
prices for 1919.
It was in this class of materials
that the companies are charged with
obtaining profits of more than 100
per cent. In the goods manufactured
during the present year, Mr.. Smythc
said the inquiry showed prices IS
per cent above all costs.
"The profits Of the companies in
1919, during which there was a
strike of most of their important
mills lasting five months, were s15,-
513,414.70." asserted Smythe.
This information has been sup
piled from printed statements sub
mitted by the president to the stock
holders.
"The output during this period
was only 100000 yards, whereas
the normal output of their mills
was 7e,000.o00 yards per annum, the
company operating forty-six cloth
mills.
I'm the present year, when ap-
parently for the first time the cost
plus system of fixing the price was

adopted. the amount OF profits be-
Ing realized exceeded on an aver
age from 500 to 400 per cent over
those OF 1919. For instance, on an
article known as tricotine for wom-
ems wear. the profit for 1919 was 40
cents per yard. while for the same
goods fors1s2o the profit per yard
wesy 80.
'sThe ratio OF proft Is much I'M
creased and worse for the con-
sumer when 1t comes to the COM
panies dealing In stock that had
been manufactured and placed in
their warehouses in 1919, where the
cost was ascertained before the
opening OF the season, which was not
the case with the incidents already
cited.
In the latter class the percent
agesof profits, instead Of being 35 per
cent ovef cost. is as much as 100 per
cent over cost.
"This inventory surplus from the
preceding year approximates four
and one-half million yards.
"In view Of this increase and not
witbstanding that the making and
selling companies are subjected to
an expense, on account of the same
man being president of both COM
panies, Of nearly million dollars
compensation for commission and
salaries. the 1920 statement should
prove a most interesting document If
the companies are permitted to carry
on this campaign of profteering,
which they SO boldly started out to
inaugurate at the beginning of this
year.
"The American Woole Company
is the largest manufacturer of
woolen cloth In the United States
and to a large extent dominates the
trade in that industry.
"The department of justice
therefore feels that it has unearthed
one Of the most important cases of
profiteering known since the amend
ment to. the Lever act went into eff
feet"

Chicago. June S.-Hours before
the doors were opened at the big
Coliseum today thousands Of persons
were waiting and hoping to get in for
a look at the Embossed republican ma
rional convention.
Only a fraction OF those who ap-
piled for seats could be admitted.
However, despite the Coliseum's ca
paCity of more than 10000.
Political activities moved out Of
the hotel district and into the Col
iseum itself with the assembling OF
the first session. 1t was the first op-
portunity for the various managers
to meet the delegates altogether. and
instead of buttonholing delegates
singly and in groups, they went after
them in delegations.
Proceedings Merely Routine.
Today's proceedings in the hall
had little to do with the actual noni-
nations. They were merely a rou-
tine, but indispensable preliminary to
the sessions which are to follow. Tho
crisp. cool weather which kept Chi
cago chilly all during pre-conventlon
sweslF suddenly disappearedss ~ today
and the sun came out with 4 blister
Ing blast and flooded the town with
mometers bounding upward. Every
lody agreed, however, 1t was better
than the blanket Of constant rainfall
which covered the city during the
convention four years ago.
No Change In Lineup.
While last minute arrangements
were made, no change in the lineup
was discernible. and the various man
ayers frankly admitted they saw no
tangible evidences Of which way the
wind is going to blow. They were
still looking forward to the first bal
lots, which will come during the mid
die Of the week. to develop to point
the way to courses of action.
The convention actually opened its
first session at 1884 q. m, Chicago
time.
