Manufacturing An $3.50
Shoe Is Only $3.46
WAGE INCREASES
AMOUNT TO Is CENTS
Retailer Gets Largest Margin of Profit
Greatest Increase In Profits Goes
Get More for Hides.

WASHINGTON, May l7.-Charges that
more than one-half of the price the con
sumner pays for shoes is profit, is made by
wv. j. Lauck, former secretary of the war
labor board, in survey of alleged pro-
fiteering in the boot and shoe industry
Lauck has been retained as consulting
economist for the railroad brotherhoods in
their fight for increased wages
The survey asserts the entire cost of
manufacturing shoes for which the con
sumner paid $3.50 in 1917 was only $346,
and presents a detailed analysis of the
cost and profit in each operation from
the unfinished hide down to the product
in merchants window.
He rdicuies the contention that wage
increases are responsible for the price
| advances, and declares that of represent
alive $3.50 increase IN prices during the
war on a pair Of shoes labor received
only 10 cents, or less than 0ne-tWentieth
of the advance.

| declared, lis by far the largest, absorbing

show so large an increase as the packers
and tanners profits As the larger tan
neries are indirectly a part of the varied
| interests of the packers it can be said
without danger of contradiction that their
prohteering is'very largely responsible for
the high price of shoes.
Tile retailer has increased his margin
lO2 per cent, or sl.82 per pair on the
basis Of shoes selling for $3.50"
/ COndemning the shoe trade for ascrihing
wage advances as the compelling cause
for the price increases, Lauck said that in
1914 all the labor costs, from the hide
TO the finished shoe, absorbed less than
one sixth of the plice paid by the con-
sumner, while in 1917 this share of labor
had decreased one ninth of the price. A
wage increase of 80 per cent, after 1914
he asserted was responsible for a direct
increase of merely ID cents in a pair OF
shoes
The shoe industry" he said, lis nc
exception to the general rule that tho
war made possible higher margins all along
the line-that these profits have been
absorbing a much larger proportion o.
the consumers money than prior to tn,
