Shoe Makers Get
Large Share OF
Price Of Product
Tanners Also Are Paid Well
for Leather. SO Demand
for Cheaper Footwear l.
Hard to Meet. Dealer Says

Between marked shortage Of work
ers and constantly increasing labor
and material costs, together with the
serious shortage of high~grade leather,
shoe manufacturers, especially those
producing the higher grades of foot
wear, in which handwork is an impor-
tant requisite, are confronted with a
serious problem. They recognize that
The general public is looking for q
decline in prices, but conditions are de-
veloping daily that the cost Of manu-
featuring shoes will advance further.
In discussing the situation. from the
viewpoint of the high class factories,
the president of one of the citys larg-
est custom bootmaking companies yes
terday made some interesting compari-
sons OF labor and material costs in
before the war days and now He de-
clared that it was the desire Of shoe
men to CRAFTY the expectations of the
public in respect 10 lower priced foot
wear, but said that at present it was
an impossibility
Would Welcome Lower Prices
ITO begin with, he said, "the natural
tendency of all manufacturers is to
keep down the cost of producing their
goods. Just after the armistice was
signed it was believed that the time
had arrived for prices in general to
take a downward movement People
were complaining that prices were too
high, and they believed that with the
war over reduction was logical and
IN order. We wanted 20 meet that con-
dition and not be in the position of
selling goods that were advancing when
the general impression was that they
should be coming down.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8-With re

November II, national banks of the
United States have established new
record for growth and development, it

in price every day, and that means all
making of shoes. The cost of material,
however, has not been our only diff
Guilty. for labor charges have kept pace
with the advance of materials The
workmcn employed in the making Of
hlgh-class shoes are not calling so
much for advances as those engaged
in the turning out of machine made
shoes. but the high wages now de-
manded by the latter type of workmen
naturally has no little influence upon
the condition of the hand worker. It
can hardly be expected that the skilled
hand shoemaker viii be content with
his S39 or $40 week wage when he
knows that the machine man, whose
skill is comparatively limited is re
ceiving about $40 week AS the
wages of the machine operator have
advanced. so has the labor cost of the
custom shoemakers gone up. One re
suit Of this has been the more general
use Of machinery by the higher class
factories.
SOling Expensive Operation
Not so long ago the ordinary shoe
maker felt satisfied with his SIG or SIS
a week wage, but now he is receiving
more tnan d0uDle that, ana Stlll he is
not satisfied. Ten years ago we paid
our workers so cents for sewing a pair
O. slippers. Now this operation alone
costs $3.50. 1t costs US IS to put soles on
a pair Of satin slippers The labor
Increase has been all along the line.
Even at the present high wages
there IS an appreciable shortage Of
labor. We never had good shoemakers
before the war, and now the situation
is worse than it ever was The war
has denuded foreign countries Of shoes
and many shoemakcrs who went over
with our army have remained abroad
Going back to the cost Of materials
since the war Innings have increased
over 223 per cent, Russia leather co
per cent and sole leather over 100 per
cent. SO you see WHY prices are more
certain TO advance rather than decline" ,"

the number of males Of producing age
in the United States at 2S6 per 1000

the war took 10S of them for its prose-

Belgiurn's Industrial
Recovery

1NO nation in Europe has undertaken re-
construction after the world war, with more
industrial will power than the Belgians, and
Belgian Industry, in many lines is approach
ing normal activity.
Mr. d. L. Blount, until recently Director
General, Central Office of Information under
the Ministry of Economics, Brussels, has
written booklet under the title of 'SBel-
gums Recovery" and from it are extracted
the following figures and estimates on the
resumption Of Belgian industry:
Coal mines, ga per cent, normal; refined
sugar, 100 per cent: cotton spindles in oper
alton, Is per cent: cotton looms, 60 per
cent: wool products, IS per cent: shoes, 70
per cent: window glass, a. per cent: plate
glass, 50 per cent: the steel mills which suf
tered most, have resumed 80 per cent: 10
blast furnaces are now producing 10 per
cent. of the output Of the s. blast furnaces
in operation before the war.

Prior TO the war three -hfths of Belgium's
total area of 1873 square miles was under
cultivation, and the value of the produce
averaged 800 per acre, yield equaled by
no other country. One man in every six
was land owner
The territory seriously devastated by war
amounted to only 10000 acres, which is less
than one per cent. of thetotalarea of Belgium.
Agricultural productioni in 19I surpassed
the average for the years preceding the war,
the yield of wheat, oats, barley and rye
having been particularly good.
Belgian railways destroyed during the war
have been practically restored. And with
total railway mileage of s,4oo miles, Belgium
has the greatest railway mileage of any
country in proportion to territory.
Before the war the thrift and industry
of the Belgian people had earned their
country eighth place among the nations of
the world for wealth, sixth place in volume
Of total foreign trade, and first place in
actual trade figures per capita.
In order to buy new machinery, as we'll
as raw materials, Belgium needs credit Of
sufficiently long terms to permit her indus
tries to bring up the volume Of export TO
pre-war figures, and thereby reduce the un-
favorable trade balance which now initiates
against her outside purchases.
To assist in this read djustment this issue
Of Belgian Government Notes is offered to
the American people.

reported to the station at 1856 in the
morning Sleeping residents were slow
in getting out of the wake of the
flames, but no one was seriously in
jured during the fire.
Efficient work of the fire depart
ment prevented the fire from spread

When the first truck reached the scene
of the fire one house had already fallen
and the one adjoining had practically
fallen. Others were on fire.
j. d. Dupont, living at 523 East
Gregory, lost $500 in Liberty bonds,
as well his home and furnishings.
The bonds were in a box, which had
been carried part of the way from the
house by Mr.. Dupont when they had

If the latter could get them. He started
towards the box, but just before reach
ing it the box burst from the terrific
heat and the bonds were lost Other
