GOVERNMENT BLAMED
FOR HIGHER CLOTHES
THE PRICE OF WoOLENS HAS
ADVANCED LITTLE LESS THAN
THE PRICE OF LABOR.

BOSTON, Mass.-The insistence of
the public for cloth made from fine
woods is a large factor in the pres
ent high prices of clothing, according
to William NJ. Wood, president of the
American Wooden Company.
at is generally thought the cost OF
cloth is the controlling factor in the
cost of clothing, but the fact is that
the cloth cost is less than half the
cost of a completed suit Other fac
tors contribute to the price of cloth
ing quite as much as the cost of the
cloth. In the last few years the prices
of cloths of the ordinary suit OF
clothes has advanced little less than
the cost OF labor and other materials
that go into the making of he suit.
"The cost in 1919 of the cloth for
a suit of clothes of a particular grade
is S13.67. The corresponding cost IN
1914 was $4.58, showing an increase
in the cost of cloth of 5000.
"The 1919 cost of making this suit
is S14.47. The corresponding cost IN
1914 was S4.98, showing an increase
in the cost of making of $3.50.
Held by Government.
During the war agents of our
government purchased from the Brit
ish government some 100000, OOO
pounds of Australian wool. When the
armistice came they released or trans
ferred two-thirds of this wool back
to the British government. The one
third which our government held they
offered only in limited quantities, the
keen competition for which carried
Il to tremendously high prices

THE COST OF CAMP
GORDON UNDER FIRE
CHARGE OF WASTE IN ITS CON-
STRUCTION is BEING INvES-
TIGATED BY CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Waste of
money and use of materials inferior
to that demanded by specifications
occurred in the construction of Camp
Gordon, Georgia, and Camp John
ston, Florida, according to testimony
given by Capt. R. M. Bramlitt, of the
construction division, quartermaster's
corps, before a special committee of
the house investigating war depart
ment expenditures in the various
army camps.
Captain Bramlitt said the work
manship at these camps was poor and
indications pointed to the use of an
over supply of workmen on the job.
Specifications Not Lived Up To.
Captain Bramlitt went into consid-
cradle detail in describing the work
of construction at Camp Gordon and
Camp Johnston and in the erection
of buildings. He declared that there
were evidences that specifications
which contractors were required to
follow were not always lived up to
and that inferior material to that call
ed for by the specifications were
used.
Architect Says System Takes
Off the Lid.
w. J. Sayward, an Atlanta archi-
feet. testified that the "cost plus sys-
TEN" had done a great deal to de
moralize the building industry dur
ing and after the war.
81 think the lump sum contract is
preferable" said Mr.. Sayward.
J II am speaking generally. do not
know the details of the Camp Gordon
contract, although l understand 1t
was built on the cost plus basis. The
cost plus system takes the lid off.
] as it not true" asked Representa-
tive McCulloch, "that the cost plus
plan is not a contract at all, in reali-
ty, but rather a commission for q
contractor to go out and spend mon
ey for the government"
at might be called that" said Mr.
Sayward. He added that government
construction work had taken prece
dence during the war, and wages hao
mounted steadily.
Supervisor Former EmPloye or
Contractors.
The main criticism was by Repre-
sentative McCulloch, of Ohio, wht
objected to the fact that the war de
partment had sent Colonel Pease o
his home city, Atlanta, and that Lock
wood Green & Co., with which he hat
been formerly connected, had the en-
cheering contract.
II think it is one of the most start
ling things brought out at all these
hearings" Representative McCullocf
declared. 'You, an engineer employ
ed by Lockwood-Green & Co., were
selected as supervisor of the Atlanta
camp and your former firm was one
of the contractors.

PRIZE HEN is INSURED
FOR A $5,00O.OO POLICY
Washington Chicken Holds the World
Record for Egg Production.

PORTLAND, Ore.-It isn't every
hen that can carry around $4,000
life insurance policy, but that is the
amount of insurance placed on one OF
the hens at the poultry show here.
This hen is a white Leghorn, owned
bv DR.. Tancred, of Kent, Wash. She
set worlds record for production
by laying 800 eggs in 800 days, end
ed Sept. 18th. This is about -FOUR
times the production of the average
hen, so her value in the poultry world
can easily be seen.
Her owner consented to allow her
to be placed on exhibition by one of
the poultry feed companies, but stIp-
ulated that she must be insured for
$4,000.

BRYAN WILL SEEK
REVENGE ON PRESIDENT
DECLARED CoMMoNER WILL!
SEEK PRESIDENTIAL NoMINA- {
TON. CLAIMS MALTREAT-
MENT AS STATE SECRETARY.

WASHINGTON, D. CAS- politi-
clans scan the horizon for presiden-
tial candidates and appealing planks
for the 1920 platforms, it is becom-
ing more evident that the issue, which
may divide the two parties, will be
the industrial aspect that the coun-
try faces-the fight for supremacy
between capital and labor, as evil
de.lced in the steel and strikes,
and demands of railroad employees for
increased wages
They say, likewise, that it is on
this issue chiefly that William Jen-
nings Bryan, who has three times been
the nominee of the democratic party,
and caused the nomination of Presi-
dent Wilson, intends to make his
fight for party control, and perhaps
for the nomination for himself.
1t is out of the whirlpool of chaotic
opinions on the industrial phase and
the treaty that the platforms OF both
parties will be built, political observ-
ers say.
Many Favorite Sons.
Sufficient aspirants will enter the
race next month to produce favor
tie son contest in the democratic par
ty.
There will be former Secretary Nc
Adoo. Attorney General Palmer Vice
President Marshall, former Speaker
Clark. Senator Pomerene and Gov.
Cox, Ohio; Secretary Daniels, Her
bert Hoover, California, and Senator
Hitchcock, Nebraska.
Looming on the horizon will be w.
II. Bryan.
/ It must be admitted, as the present
responsible democratic leaders are
lconcedine with anxiety, that Mr..
BRYAN is factor in party affairs, so
strong as to be able either to disrupt
the party or shape its platform, ana
dictate its candidate.
One friend of Mr.. Bryan startled
! his colleagues in congress the otner
day by saying that Mr.. Bryan was
seeking vindication, that he was peev-
ed at the present administration over
his treatment while secretary OF
state. and that he meant to capture
the nomination for himself or rum
the prospects Of those urged for the
nomination by President Wilson.
Neither Acceptable.
Reports indicate that neither for
mer Secretary McAdoo or Attorney
General Palmer is acceptable to the
commonei.
Secretary Daniels, the only real
Bryanite among prospective canal
dates, may be the commoner's cholce
if he eliminates himself.
That Mr.. Bryan, characterized by
his opponents as the "revivallst, the
preacher of politics." looms larger IN
the Eight for an economic hDera-'
ton" is true in great measure.
If Mr.. Bryan should take radical
stand in settlement of the relations
between labor and capital 1T IS be-
lieved that republicans will be forced
to become more pronounced In oner-
ing to better labor conditions.
At the same time republican lead
ers saw that the party policy will not
swing to radicalism, and will content
itself with following precedent, puV
that the platform will adapt itself 10
changed conditions, brought about by
war disturbances in the industrial
and labor fields.

Experts Make Favorable Reports. Pumping

Wells to go Down at Once.
Belief is that Great New
Oil Field is Dis
covered.

Yesterday morning the baler was
let down in the No. / well of the Gun
nison Al Co. at Castleton after il had
stood five days and the oil was found
to have risen 40 feet in the l6 inch
hole.
What do you know about that?
No boom in the oil business yet in
Gunnison. Well we didn't want q
boom, unless founded upon facts. II
is true, however, that instead of being
exaggerated the showing in the Gun
nison AL property at Castleton has
been underestimated by the state at
large. In Kansas, Oklahoma or Tex
as a discovery equivalent to this would
be heralded far and wide as thousand
barrel well, and the boomers would
come with a hurrah.
The lack of exaggeration gives rise
to this remarkable situation. A rep
representative of the United Oil Co.,
a Colorado branch of the Standard
appeared in Gunnison Wednesday and
asked to be shown the well. He was
astonished at the showing, and declar-
ed that this is the first time in recent
history when a well was successfully
sunk in a new field and the Standard
Oil Co. knew nothing about it. They
did not hear of it until the 400 feet Of
IL inch casing was purchased in Flor
ence this week. OF course there are
some folks in Gunnison who do not
know of the well, but they will wake
up shortly.
AS matter of fact no one knows
yet just what we have. The experts

Every delegate who attended the

endorsed Hetherington. Both the
motion which endorsed Hetherington
and the amendment which endorsed
Ferris passed. Prior to this motion
and amendment, another motion made
declaration favoring DIR. Ferris as

ment of Ferris, but he was put in a
position where he and his followers
could not endorse Hetherington with
out also endorsing Ferris.
