MANUFACTURER MAKES
$3.50 ON A $50 SUIT
William N. Wood of Boston Saws
Profit Is Not "Unreason.
able.'

BOSTON. April 80 tby the Assoc
Grated Press).-William NJ Wood.
president of the American WOODEN
oonpany. mas issued statement in
financial statement, which was made
PUBIC tuesday and showed net
profit for 1919 of s15513,415. less re-
serves Tor taxes and contingencies.
Ihere is absolutely no just ground
Tor the suggestion that this company
has charged excessive prices for its
cloth or has gained an unreasonable
or excessive profit" he said.
The statement in part follows:
The high price of clothing is due
in no substantial degree to any profit
which we, as manufacturers. have
made on our cloth. 1 doubt if the
public know these facts. The profit
OF this company on the cloth that
goes into an average suit of clothes
selling at retail from $50 to S65 does
not exceed $3.50 per suit. Our profit
on cloth in some cheaper grades will
not exceed 80 cents per suit. If you
assume that the entire per share profit
was solely manufacturing profit on
our cloth the average profit on the
millions of yards which we manufac-
ture would not exceed 81 per suit.
But the fact is that this profit is
not entirely on cloth. but results in
part from the advance in the value
of materials on hand and purchased
in anticipation and is in part profit
accruing from other products, includ-
ing by-products. II you deduct the
profit from these sources the true
average manufacturing profit of this
company on the cloth in suit OF
clothes would not exceed IS cents per
suit. How much would the price of
a $65 suit of clothes. or any other
suit for that matter, be reduced if the
American Wooden Company should
charge no profit whatever for its
cloth?"

'FRAME-UP' IN RED
ARRESTS CHARGED
Secretary Of Communist Labor
Party Hired As Palmer
Agent, Says Attorney.

That Louis c. traina. secretary Of
the Communist Labor party OF
America, was an agent OF the Depart
ment OF Justice, and as such had
framed" the arrest of many OF his
associates. was the sensational charge
made yesterday. at a hearing before
Secretary OF Labor Wilson.
Swinburne Hale, New York law
yer, appearing as counsel In the case
OF Carl Miller, a member OF the Com
,munist Labor party, VINO is being
held for deportation, testihed that
Fraina one OF the best known EEK
tremists" in the country, was In
reality an agent OF the Bureau of In
Vestigation.
The allegation of Hale was denied
by attorneys for the Department OF
Justice, who appeared TO argue the
Miller case, which is test suit TO
determine whether the Communist
Labor party comes within the terms
OF the act prohibiting membership in
an organization advocating the over
throw of the Government by force.
Despite the denial OF Department
of Justice lawyers, Hale said he could
produce documentary proof to show
that Fraina was a Government oper-
atiye, and that he had advocated acts
and disseminated literature which
caused the arrest OF many members
OF his party, who are now held in
various cities on warrants or de-
portation. Hale appeared voluntarily
with Prof Lawrence Brooks, of Har-
ward University, and Francis Fisher
Kane, former United States district
attorney at Philadelphia, as counsel
for the Communist Labor party.
Secretary Wilson granted Hale's re-
quest for ten days stay in the case. in
which to produce evidence OF Fraina's
alleged connections with the Depart
ment OF Justice. .
Later, Attorney General Palmer is
sued a formal denial of the Hale
charges. In his, statement the Attor-
ney General declares that ''were it
not for the fact that the charge was
made before a Cabinet officer, 1t
would not be dignified by denial"
"Of course. the Department of JUS
tice has used confidential informants
ever since its Bureau of Investigation
was established, but they are> >under
strict instructions not TO engage ac-
lively in any organization under their
investigation" the statement adds.
Secretary of Labor Wilson an
nounced that he would take the case
under advisement and ,render public
decision later.

MARS NOT TRYING

Foremost Wireless Engineer
Declares Sister Planet Sent
No Messages.

OMAHA, Neb.. April 25.-Dr. Fred
erick II. Millener, foremost wireless
engineer, who has been endeavorlng
to catch signals from Mars at his
great wireless station near Omaha
ceased his efforts last night and is
sued the following statement:
For three nights l have sought
through interstellar space for sig
nal from Mars. / have found none.
For three nights our wireless instru-
mehts have been In condition TO re-
ceive messages originating millions
and millions OF miles without the or
bit of the earth.
mo such messages have been cir
culating the ether, or. at least no
wireless waves have been hurled az
the earth by the people OF Mars. The
Martians, If there are such beings.
may have been trying to signal the
earth by some other methods and
means, but they have not been trying
to reach us with wireless waves In
the last three nights.
Had they been doing so we now
would have had their message. We
are not disappointed at. the result.
We did not undertake the experiment
to prove that wireless signals were
being sent from Mars, but simply to
discover IL such signals We're being
sent We would have liked to ac-
complish the unusual and to have re-
ported to the world the reception Of
signals from another planet. We re-
alize that there is no good reason
why at some time in the future in
communication should
not be accomplished, provided there
