SAYS ~Y OPPOSED
TO THE CATHOLICS
Holy See Issues Formal Decree
Warning Against Its Activities
-"Y" Official Expresses Sur
prise at Statement.

Rome, Dec. 23.-The holy Office is
sued a decree today asking Catholic
bishops to watch IAN organization
which, while protesting absolute free
dom of thought in religious matters,
instills indifferentism and apostacy to
the Catholic religion in the minds of
list adherents."
The decree mentions the Young
Mems Christian Association by name,
saying it is upheld by many Catholics
who do not know its real nature. The
decree says the organization corrupts
the faith of youths.
Clauses of the Cannon law which
forbids papers, periodicals. and organ
izations favoring religious radicalism
and indifferentism are recalled in the
decree, which requests the bishops to
communicate with the Holy See with
in six months the decisions taken on
the subject at.regional congresses.
New York, Dec. Officials of
the overseas department of the
Young Mems Christian Association
expressed astonishment today when
they learned that the holy office in
Rome had issued a decree warning its
bishops against the American organ
ization as 'corrupter of the faith of
youths
"We are sorry, of course, that some
people do not like u.s." declared C. v.
Hibbard, associate general secretary,
"but there doesn't seem to be any
thing to do about it."
Mr.. Hibbard said it had been "abun-
dainty substantiated that the Y. NJ
c. A. is not proselyting organiza-
tion," and said he could think of no
reason for its being the subject of a
napal attack

PRICE OF SHOES
TO BE CUT IN HALF
Insurgent Shoe Manufacturers Say
Artificial Prices Maintained Must
Cease-Big Shipment Of Shoes
From Manila p. l..

San Francisco, Dec 28.-With the
arrival here Of $4,000 pairs Of high
grade shoes from Manila, 2. l., be-
Ginning a number OF huge shipments
expected shortly, the first blow IN
battle Of insurgent American shoe
manufacturers against what they
claim to be the artifcially-malntained
high price of footwear has been
struck.
Ihese shoes. which dealers here
pronounse TO be the par in workman
hio and material of the best manu-
featured in this country, are to be
placed on sale shortly at so per cent
of the present price of other shoes OF
equal quality.
Rush Big Orders.
Eight dealers in San Francisco
have purchased the entire shipment,
and representatives of the Manila
manufacturers state they have orders
for shoes which will occupy their en-
tire plants for years.
The San Francisco Chamber of
Commerce, after an investigation into
the shoe industry covering the Paci-
fic coast, has found, they state, that
present shoe prices are due to the un-
willingness of American manufactur-
ers to pocket temporary loss which
would be involved in selling their
present stock at prices commensurate
with the price of production today.
Chamber of Commerce investiga-
tors have discn~ cred the same shoe
selling in six different stores at six
different prices. This they attribute
to the difference in the time the
shoes were purchased.
Leather Cheap.
The highest grades of shoe leather
are being quoted in western markets
today at less than pre-war prices.
Americans who have established fac
tories in Manila within the last two
PHILIPPINE labor, are buying this
leather, shipping it to the Islands
manufacturing the shoes, and re-
shipping them to this country for re-
tail sale less than American manu-
facturers are demanding for whole
sale purchases, according to dealers
here.
This situation in the shoe industry
is typical of what may be expected
shortly in other lines of business in
cial travellers who have recently re-
turned from the PHILIPPINES and the
Orient.
Cloth Cut Next.
American manufacturers of mach
merry since the war have been forced
to go outside the United States to
dispose of their product. This ma
chinery is now installed, and within
a short time it is expected that goods
manufactured by Oriental labor with
American machinery will be arriving
here at prices parallel to that of the
shoes now arriving.
I Shirt and light clothing factories
are also being established in the Phil
lipine Islands from which goods will
be shipped direct to the United
States. Wool will be purchased in
the open market in this country and
in South America.
Serious encroachment is also be-
ing made into American trade with
the Straits settlements, and other
points in the Pacific, according to
trade representatives here, all due to
the enormous sale of modern mach
inery in late wears.

BOOST MARRIAGE COST.
Bridegrooms Full of Hope and JOY
Willing to PAY More.

Chicago, Dec. Because bride
grooms are so full Of Joy and hope,r
they don't object, Robert NJ. Switper,
county clerk, said in proposing to the
finance committee today that the
price of marriage licenses be raised
to the same scale as dog license.
A marriage permit costs $3.50 and
dog license $500. Il don't see why
the fee for marriage license should
not be raised to the dignity of that
for dog license" Mr.. Switxer said.
