SHOEMAKERS REAPING GAINS.
Manufacturers Profit Tripled Since 1919,
Boston Report Says.

Boston, Feb 25-The basis reason for
the high price of shoes lies in the price
of leather and the manufactures, the
leather jobbcr, tanner and packer have
reaped the greatest gain, the State Com
mission on Neoessaries of Life asserts in
report yesterday. Retail dealers, the
commission finds, have made little If any
more profit than in 1913.
When the Government control Of the
price of leather was released February
|, 1919, the commission SAYS, 81 period
of excessive speculation ensued, the cost
of the product doubling in six months.
The report shows that the cost of man,t-
featuring an average pair of medium cost
shoes advanced lS5 per cent from 1913
TO 1919. In tho former year the average
cost was $3.50 and in 1919 1T WAS sT2a
This high average is asserted to have been
due solely to an increase in cost of upper
leather from % cents per par in 1913 TO
S325 in 1919.
The percentage of manufacturers gross
profit above cost oi manufacture, accord
ing to the commission. averaged gS2 in
1913 and iI2 in 1919 'In percentage
this Is a small gain, The commission points
out, "hut in actual money il is nearly
three times as much as in 1913. From
