A RD N D RE DEAL ERS IN
GEN rs CLOTH|N G HOLD
DIVE RGE n 7 OP IN 10 Ms

Although there has been a heavy
reduction in prices on all woolens
with the exception of serges. few To-
ca dealers believe that it will affect
prices this year, and do not pro-
fes sto know how any material re-
duction can be made in the finished
garment, until the merchant who pur-
chased his stock on the rising mar
ket has had an opportunity of sell
ing.
Unless this is done they contend
that panic will ensue that would
put many merchants out of bust
ness.
Joel f. Buchanan said that he could
see no way in which it could be done
now. and prevent many from going
bankrupt, but said he hoped to see
things assume normal conditions by
1921.
The manufacturer, jobber, and deal
er could combine, and reduce their
profits II the mills would do so, but
such o combination is problematical,
he said.
Mr.. Dillingham; Of Newman and
Company, said practically the same
as Mr.. Buchanan, that he could
see no immediate reduction. but like
Mr. Buchanan he thought combin-
ed reduction in profits from the
mills down, would help the situation
to certain extent.
Steve Noland who operates a mer-
chant tailoring establishment says he
believes that reduction on clothing
is imminent, that he has received no
tification that all woolens have been
reduced, with the exception of serges,
and he looks for that fabric to fol.
| low soon.
Mr.. Nolen said he can seel suit
at present from Sc to IS cheaper than
he could some time ago, and since
the first of January he has been
notified Of n reduction in the manu-
facture of a suit Of Sc.
Mr.. Noland stated that he was of
| the opinion that the manufacturers
are holding their stocks off the
market to keep prices up, and as
soon as competition became strong
enough they would commence 10 un-
load at normal figures.
Mr.. Buchanan stated that he refus-
ed TO buy certain lines Of hats this
season. for the simple reason that
he did not want to charge people the
price he would have to charge in
order to break even on the deal.
From the general tone Of the re-
marks OF merchants visited. it is evi.
dent that unless some radical change
takes place, beginning with the mills,
and coming on down to the retailer,
the general public will be compelled
to pay prevailing prices at least for
the rest Of this year.
However every merchant expressed
the hope that conditions would re.
turn to normal as rapidly as pos.
slble.

AFTER INVESTIGATING G.
FOR A YEAR COMMITTEE.
SUBMITS A KATY DID,
KATY D|DN 7 REPO RT

Washington, May 1S.-Two reports,
one by republicans condemning the
governments entire wartime nitrate
program and charging reckless waste
and extravaganza, and the other by
democyats, defending it and charging
partisan bias by the majority, were
presented today to the house by a
special committee which took up the
investigation nearly year ago.
Along with its Al general condem-
nations Of the government policy, the
republican majority committee, COM
prislng Chairman Graham Illinois.
and Representative Jefferies. Nebras.
la, submitted recommendations for
future disposal Of the Muscle Shoals
properties. which Representative Gar.
rett, of Tennessee, the democratic
member, declared was beyond its
province. Mr.. Garrett indicated he
would make a point of order against
the report on that ground. Members
said this would open the way for the
biggest political fight in the house
since the war investigating committee
was created.
Charging the air nitrates corpora
ton, builders of the Muscle Shoals
plant, with failure TO perform its con.
tract, the majority recommended to
congress that no further sums be paid
it on account and that civil suits
be instituted for recovery and that
the whole question Of pay be thresh.
ed out in the court claims. 1t also
was recommended that the govern
ment pursue such remedies as might
be decided by the attorney general.
After asking congress to sell ma
terials stored at the Toledo and Gin.
cinnati plants and retain the Shef-
field. Ala, plant the committee rec.
commended that the committee release
the deserted buildings at Sheffield,
Ala, at cost OF sl2,000O00.
The principal recommendation Of
the majority related to the big Mus
Gle Shoals plant, costing $4,000 900.
,;eing too valuable to scrap, the ma
jority recommended that it be leased
and converted into fertilizer plant
for the sale Of products direct to
farmers with the right Of the gov
ernment to take 1t over in time of
threatened war.

Walsh Of Massachusetts Flags the
Profiteer and Asks if Democrat and
Republican Voters are to Be Forced
Into Socialist Ranks for Relief: Asks
For Investigation Income Tax Returns

Washington, May 1S-Profiteering
was denounced today In the senate by
Senator Walsh, democrat, OF Massa-
chusetts. who asserted that extortions
Of profiteers are the principal cause
OF wide spread unrest and that con.
gress has been "culpably inactive"
In moving to relieve the situation.
Senator Walsh cited many large div.
idends, including stock dividends, paid
recently by big corporations and
declared the public outcries against the
high cost Of living were an acute
political problem.
Republican leadership and major.
tiles in congress, the Massachusetts,
senator said are responsible for fail.
ure to enact anu-profiteering legis.
lation. The republicans. he added,
cannot shift the responsibility to the
president or department heads.
Recommendations made by Senator
Walsh to check profiteering We're:
Senatorial investigation Of income
tax returns, to disclose individual
profiteers.
Passage Of several pending bills, in.
cluding the packer regulation meas
ure, the McNary bill to stamp cost
price on shoes, the cold storage reg.
ulation bill and others.
II further recommend" said Sena'
tor Walsh, that congress promptly
ipou0,,rafa yuhlio frod;pg On q laroa
scale, unless exorbtant profits are
voluntarily and materially reduced
at once. In other words, / recon-
mend government competition as an
available remedy"
Although the people were resign
ed to high prices during the war
Senator Walsh said they now demand
ing"
Conditions have grown worse he
said, and 1t seems that band oi
robbers infest the land. Combines and
trusts, by tacit II not actual agree
ment, hold up their product for
constantly increasing gain and ruth
lessly exploit the buyers. The govern
Iutnl, OutSiuc Vi u lew weak ulU
Insignificant threats has not ever
attempted a solution"
Among the instances Of corpora
ton profits cited by Senator Walsh
were those of the "big five" packers
as reported by the Federal Trade
Commission, the American Wooler
Company and several textile mills
steel companies, scoal operators ant
news print manufacturers.
Discussing whether the republican
and democratic patries are to fail the
people, Mr.. Walsh asked:
shall they be forced to- enroll in
the socialist party or to organize
q third party which shall offer q
candidate whose public record typi
fies opposition to profiteering and q
platform which promises specific meas
ures of relief?"
