WHO GETS THE S55.O0?

Oklahoma City. April 21-That there is concerted effort on the part of the great monopolies to expand their in- fluence over both political parties in an
 endeayor to conrtol government and
 continue reckles and unjustitied pro- fiteering Si the charge made by Senator
 Robert l.. Owen, of Oklahoma, in an
 interview given to the press of the
 nation The taste for unusual profits
 to continue it unmindful of the want,
 misery and public danger they entail
 the senator said. We are warned by
 the clothing manufacturers that cloth
 ing prices are to go higher. Simultan- eously comes a statement from the
 National Wool Growers Association
 that the cost to the manufacturers of the wool in $75 suit of clothes is S5.27 The department of justice is informed by the president of the Amal- gamated Clothing Workers Union that the labor cost is from SIP to S14 l set forth the other day to find out who got the other $55 which the consumer had to pay. Not one of the government bureaus in Washington could furnish the information nor could private in- yestigators-no one knew. A senate committee spent several weeks investi-
 gating the high cost of living and it's report filled thousand printed pages. There was not one word on clothes or dry goods.
 A report by the secretary of the treas ury to the senate reveals the profits of some 35OO0 American corporations in all lines of business. Here are some of the figures which will give
 eloquent explana ton of the reason why
 pre-war $25 suit of clothes now sells at $75:
 Six wool and worSted manufacturing
 corporations, with total capital stock
 of $64,000,0O0, made net profit of |
 been paid. One made 107 per cent and
 the average profit was 90 per cent. One
 cotton manufacturer made 131 per cent and five made more than 90 per cent,
 The report shows that wholesalers and
 jobhers made from 10 to GOO per cent
 on their investment after federal taxes
 had been paid. Out of 300 department
 stores 26 made more than 100 per cent,
 one going as high as 757 per cent. Were
 hte entire 2O54 retail traders in cloth
 ing and dry goods made into one great corporation it would have cleared more
 than 25 per cent on it's actual capital
 invested above and beyond all taxes.
 The legitimate manufacturers and re- tailers are not only making abnormal
 profits but horde of jobbers, brokers and middlemen are also making abnor
 mal profits. From beginning to end
 nearly every process is highly organ ized and determined upon maintaining high price levels. It is time to test
 out which is the stronger, organized greed bent upon commercial pilfering
 and determined to use the powers of government for its selfish ends, or the intelligence and spirit of the American
 people determined upon justice and fair play"
