PROMISE TO IRELAND
IN cox, SAYS WHITE
Chairman Declares Only Hope of
Settling Problem Is in
League.

| NEW YORK October 1.-George
White, chairman of the democratic
national committee. in a statement
said the speech of Charles E. Hughes
at the Union League Club here last
night caps Senator Harding's recent
statement on Ireland and proves that
the only hope of settling the problem
is in the league"
THE difference between the posi-
tion of the two parties on the Irish
question is very simple, he said
Gov Cox has said that. under article
NJ he will. if elected President. bring
the matter to the attention of the
league of nations as affecting the
good understanding among nations
on which the peace of the world de-
Ponds. Such is the language of ar
| ticle NJ. Senator Harding has said
! that the Irish problem is not matter
for any official action by the United
Estates. Thus, President Cox will have
the league consider the matter. Presi-
dent Harding will take no action,
league or no league.
Having thus broken the hope of
the Irish people, the republicans now
set out to prove that Gov. Cox cannot
90 what he promises. Last night at
the Union League Club in New York
Charles f. Hughes was put forth to
demonstrate the point But his very
his speech shows, that Gov. Cox can
carry out his promise to bring the
problem to the leagues attention, and
therefore he fell back on the asser-
,tion that no remedy can come from
lit. He made this "a prophecy con-
tending that unanimous action of the
council was necessary to effective ac-
ton. that Great Britain would never
consent to any action; therefore
there would be none"

Use of Cheaper Leather
Urged TO Cut Shoe Prices

Cheaper grades Of leather and
heavier Innings in shoes has been sug-
gested as one solution to the demand
for lower prices in footwear lines.
Tanners and lining manufacturers are
taking cognizance of the possible de-
yelopments in this direction, and a
few of them are pushing their
products with this idea in mind.
g., Shoe manufacturers are complain
ing that some INSCRIPTIONS tanners
are trying to foist poor grades Of
leather on them, representing them to
be top grades. Old time shoe men as
sert that they never saw SO many
grades of leather in the market nor

posed to be top grades at varying
prices. While there is better feel
ing in the leather market, largely be-
cause of the receipt of numerous in

business is still hating Some i'm

Deny Improvement
!, I'm WOODEN Goods;
!. Producers Cancel
Selling Agents and Mill Rep
Y resentatives Say Situation
Is Unchanged; Clothing
Manufacturers Hesitant

20 While some sellers of wooden goods
assert that the situation has improved,
sthe majority of selling agents and mill
representatives declare that conditions
are unchanged. Cancellations continue
to trouble the trade. These are report
ed to come principally from the mems
clothing manufacturers, many of whom
say that if forced to take in the goods
they ordered from the mills they will
be thrown into bankruptcy.
Raw wool quotations are little more
than normal and manufacturers of
goods are not interested in the raw
material or yarn markets at present.
They are waiting for some sign of re-
newed activity in the clothing field
before stocking up on raw materials.
Most of the mills, it is believed, have
ample stocks on hand to carry them
through a few months if a new demand
for cloth appears or if the lightweight
season develops.
While the selling agents are prepar-
ing lightweight samples, they are ex-
pecting small business on this class
of fabrics. Most of them feel that a
late demand for heavyweight fabrics
for this fall and winter will set in and
that the mills will be running on such
clothes until late in the fall.
