PUBLIC WARNED OF PR0FITEERINC
 ON NEW RATES

New York, Aug. 12-Declaring that the authorized increase in freight rates will, for example, legitimately add but from five to sixteen cents to the cost of a pair of shoes, Charles D. Orth, president of the National Security League, issued a warning to the public today to beware of prof. ,teering as a result of the new sched- ules. MT. Orth stated that there are undoubtedly many interruptions re- tailers who will immediately use the new rates as an excuse for making large increases in the price of every day commodities.
 MT. Orths statement reads:
 ,...----7.. ..ss @Used as Excuse.v
 'Nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise in time.' For which reason, the National Security League wishes to warn the people that the increased fyeAght rates recently authorized by = Interstate Commerce Commission Ao not justify any rise in the prices oR most of the things which the peo- pie use. There ds great danger, in the opinion of the League, that the freight rate increase will be used as an excuse or camouf1age for still further advancing the High Cost of Living. To many people it will sound mot only credible, but convincing, if shop keepers say they must advance the price on eggs or shoes, because the freight charges have been in- creased from 25 to 40 per cent Talk idng the latter as an example, it will be seen that, as a matter of fact, the Increase in freight rates might justify an advance of between five and six teen cents on each pair of shoes. The explanation of this is as follows:
 Shoes as Example.
 There are four freight movements of the leather in a pair of shoes. t(a) The hide from the stock farm to
 the slanghter-house.
 Gb) The hide from the slaughter
 house to the tanner.
 A<c) The leather from the tanner to the shoe-factory.
 Cd, The shoes from the shoe-factory
 to the store which sells them.
 "As nearly as freight-rates on an average haul can be approximated, each one of these movements costs, at the old rates, 75c per 100 lbs, or 4-4c- per pound An increase of 25 epr cent in freight rates would therefore increase freights IS S-4c per 100 lbs, or 3-16c. per pound.
 Assuming that five pounds of hide, equal to about four pounds of leather, go into a pair of shoes, and that a completed pair of shoes weighs 4 pounds, the increased cost of same resulting from a 25 per cent. in crease in freight-rates would be: ? H(a) lbs at 3-16c per h., -5-16 of 1c h(b) s lbs. at 3-16c per h., 15-16 of | Co Ibs. at 3-1sc per h.. 3-4 of lc (d) lbs. at 3-16c per 1b., 3-4 of 1c
