Economist Says Gougers

Unless Checked, 1t Will Mean

WASHINGTON, June 9.--That prof

United States at least 5000, 900 900 dur
ing the last three years and, unless
checked, will cost them more than
$4,000 100000 additional in 1920, 1921
and 1922 is the cruh of supplementary
report by w. Jett Lauck, consulting
economist for the railroad labor or
CARNATIONS transmitted to the Rail
road Labor Board and made public to-
day.
"Ncxt to wage earners the salarcd
class and people of fixed incomes the
railroads have been the greatest vic
tins Of the profiteers," says this re-
port, "and the most serious aspect of
this phase of the profiteering problem
is that it means a fixed charge upon
the public of millions of dollars annu-
ally for all time to come, fer if the
railroads are mulcted of a billion dol
lars in undue profits in the expendi-
lures for maintenance and betterments
during the ensuing three years that
amount necessarily becomes a part Of
the capital investment upon which the
public must pay fair return"

Demand for Summer
Shoes GrOaUs Ouick{,.

Real summer weather is bringing
about a consumer demand for white
shoes. The past three days, according
to several shoe retailers in the mid
town section, have seen belated but
strong call for the real summer foot
wear. So far no style has developed
leading tendency, oxfords and pumps
running side by side in popularity. The
general trend toward lower and broader
heels, which has been noted in women's
footwear since the first of the year,
continue to assert itself in white shoes
The price element has little bearing on
the situation and some retailers who
anticipated a rush for canvas and other
varieties of cotton shoes to the detri-
ment of white KID, nubuck, snow-bu lex
and real buckskln, assert that the
white feathers are selling as we'll as
the cheaper cloth grades.
Last year the white shoe business
assumed large proportions and for sew
eral weeks, retailers, because of the
shortness Of stocks, were compelled to
turn many customers away. White
ssockn for the present season were
ordered early last year an most of the
retailers have ample supplies on hand
10 meet the present calls.
More of the combination white shoes
are shown this year; that is, white
canvas or leather combined with tan
or black calf or kid trimmings, taking
the form Of wing tips, ball straps or
heel foxings.
The vogue of white and light shaded
sport skirts has stimulated the sale of
white footwear, according to some
retailers

Rail Operating Income

March Report Shows Improve

Month of 1910

WASHINGTON, juno 9.-Net oper-
ating income of the railroads increased
by nearly $1,OO0,00O during March
the first month after their return to
private control-compared with March.
1919, when the government controlled
the lines, according to partial sum-
mary issues tonight by the Interstate
Commerce Commission
For March, 1920, the net operating
income of the roads was $10,206 ,576,
compared with S9,396,592 for March,
1919, and for the first three months
of 1920 the total was 63,427,1 Jos, as
against S34,186,0s6 for the orrespond-
ing months of 1919. Operating reve-
nues for March were $450, 0,47O,217,
against $368,096,045 for March, 1919,
and operating expenses amounted to
SALT 1885,, compared with $840, $780,

Seek to Improve
Conditions i'm Wool
Trade Next Week
Leaders Expected to Take
Concerted Action on
Program; Worsted Di-
vision Not Badly Hit

Conditions in the wooden and worsted
Goods trade are shaping themselves for
some sort of climax within another
-esk or two. 1t is rumored that an
important meeting of prominent mill
~sn will be held next week to review
the existing situation and if possible
draft some program for concerted
action by the large members of the
trade.
The booking of orders for fall
woolens and worsteds has been stag
nant for the past two months and
coupled with this there has been a
heavy cancellation of spring goods not
vet delivered and even of orders for
iall goods placed in February and
March when the fall selling season
first opened.
The WOODEN goods division of the
trade has been harder hit than the
worsted end of the business. it is
asserted. Worsted selling agents re
port fewer cancellations, but admit
that fall orders have not materialized
in the quantity expected.
The situation has been brought about
largely through the attitude of cloth
ing manufacturers against ordering
even their normal requirements for
fall goods. 1t is an open secret that
fall business IN the mems clothing
business is at virtual standstill, be-
cause of the difference of opinion be-
tween manufacturers and retailers con-
eerning prices.
Cloth manufacturers are closing
their mills or running on short time
TO prevent the accumulation of surplus
stocks, which under present conditions
they feel sure would lead to soften
ing of prices. Speculative jobbers who
reaped golden harvest during the
past two years when goods were
"scarce," have been rushing to cover,
sacrificing their stocks on hand and
trying to get out of commitments for
future deliveries of cloth from the
mills.
The inactivity in the raw wool mar
kets, both here and in England, have
served to complicate the situation still
more.

Cotton Sells Down

Decline of 80 to 40 Points

provement, Poor Goods,
Trade Outlook and Drop
in the Silver Market

The cotton market sold into new low
ground for the movement and some 80
to 40 points below Tuesdays closing
prices during yesterdays earlier trad
ing. In addition to the continued good
weather in the South and further de-
clines in the price of silver. sentiment
was evidently influenced by the reports
OF depression in the wool trade and the
demoralized market for silk. Trade
interests were buyers on scale down
however, partly, it was said, against
sales for early new crop export, while
the weekly report of the Weather
bureau barely met bearish expecta-
tlons This gave the market tirmer
tone during the afternoon and much of
the early loss was recovered, with the
close net unchanged to 20 points
lower.
The opening was 1S to % points
lower in response to the lower cables,
and October contracts sold off to
1925 before the end of the morning.
or about / As points below the high level
reached after the publication of the
government report last week. There
was more comment than previously on
the unfavorable features in the wool
trade owing to reports that raw wool
was selling in the West at prices about
half those at this time last year, and
of increasing short time among WOODEN
mills in New England The weakness
of silver also seemed to be creating
bearsh sentiment and there was con-
siderable Wall Street selling The
trade buying gradually absorbed these
offerings, however, and the reports of
better spot demand led to covering
during the afternoon. July recovered
all Its earlier loss, while the close
showed rallies of some 20 to 80 points
from the lowest on new crop months.
One of the factors on the late rally
was the larger exports. The export
movement has been comparatively
light for some time past, but Yesterday
clearances were reported Of 34,735
bales, bringing the total for the season
so far up to 6,037 1888 bales, against a.
44O, O,42s last year. Southern spot markets
as officially reported were unchanged to
SO points lower, generally unchanged.
Quotations for middling cotton now
range from 40c to 43c in the vari-
Gus Southern markets, but discounts
on the low grades have increased re-
Gently, particularly N the case Of the
grades which are too low to deliver on

The local market for spot cotton was
unchanged at 40c for middling. No
sales were reported.

Ribbon Trade Recovering

Suk ribbons, which felt the slump
later than broad silks. are making a
more rapid recovery than the wide
goods. Ribbon statesmen say that re-
tail buyers who few week. AGO would
not see them, are now wiling to look
at samples and in many cases are plac-
ing orders. Ribbon prices have been
adjusted on 4 lower plano in keeping
with the raw silk market. In some
cases two or three new price lists
were figured until the present basis
was reached. One of the largest rib
bon manufacturing concerns in the
trade is understood to have rehgured
prices on the basis of S11 pound for
organzine or warp threads, and $40
