HUGE PROFIT IN SHOE BUSI.
NESS IS DISCLOSED BY
FEDERAL BOARD
Report to Congress Shows Earnings
as High as 81 Per Cent

Washington, June 1I.-Large pro-
fits, taken by everyone in the shoe
business, from the tanner down to
the retailer were disclosed Saturday
by the federal trade commission i'll
report to congress.
The trade commissions report was
in response to congressional reso.
luton directing an investigation OF
the high prices for shoes which pre-
vailed during 1918 and Ig1g.
Earnings Of 30 tanners of shoe
leather, whose production in 1918 was
about Is per cent of the total pro-
duction, were 1871 per cent on invest
ment in 1915" the report states, land
1913 per cent in 1919. Oh these tam
ners the earnings of 22 companies
tanning kid feathers, with production
in 1913 about 70 per cent of the to-
tai kid leather production, were
greatest, averaging z6. 8 per cent on
investment in 1918 and 81 per cent i'll
1919.
Earnings of 34I shoe manufacture
ers, with output in 1919 representing
about 62 per cent of the total output
shown in the census of 1919, were
1862 per cent on investment in 1918
and 1913 per cent in 1919.
Earnings of 81 typical shoe, whole
salers and jobbers averaged about
22 per cent on investment in 1918 and
about 81 per cent in 1919.
Earnings of 40 typical shoe re-
tailers averaged about rs per cent i'll
1918 and about 81 per cent in 1919.
The onward march of prices and
profits was finally ended by the con-
sumers themselves with the buyers,

THE failure of leather prices and
shoe prices to decline as extensively

ROW OVER AN OHIO PLUM"
Senator Willis, Who Nominated
Harding, Starts a Fight.

WASHINGTON. june i5--Patronagc
difficulties OF the Harding admins
traton took al unusual turn today
when Senator Wills OF Ohio, who
nominated Mr.. Harding at Chicago,
announced he would oppose confirna-
ton OF an Ohio appointment sent to
the senate from the White House to-
DAY.
I-t:-ff-;r rs bttt4 knew. -IlauN weeks
that Senator Willis has been dis
pleased over the failure of the White
House to look to him for recommen-
dations for federal appointments i'll
Ohio, but he made no public protest
until today This afternoon the Pres
iaent sent to the senate for confirnla-
ton the name of Charles II. Nauts, of
Toledo, to be collector of internal
revenue. Almost Immediately Sena-
tor Wills issued this brief announce
ment from his office:
Il am not for him, and oppose
the confirmation of the nomination..
To do this, Senator Willis must car
ry his fight to the floor of The SEN
ate, for nominations always are con-
iirmed by the senate sitting in exec
lt;ye session.
The nomination of Nauts, winch
was made after Senator Willis had
fatty refused to indorse him, was
generally construed as disposition
on the part of President Harding to
accept the Endorsement OF Walter +.
Brown, his floor manager in the
nominating convention in Chicago,
rather than the Endorsement OF the
| man who now fills the seat he vacat-
ed on the floor of the senate. Brown
indorsed Nauts and fought for his Sc
lection. Senator Willis had Endorsed
his campaign manager in Lucas
County last fall, when Willis and
Brown were fighting for the Repub-
lican senatorial nomination. Efforts
were made to compromise the differ
ences between Willis and Brown by
having them agree on compromise
candidate, but that failed.
/ The fact that Senator Willis an
| nounced he would carry his fight
against Nauts to the floor of the SEN
ate occasioned considerable surprise
here. Although it was known that he
opposed Nauts consistently, it was
the opinion of many that his success
in having Maj. Roy A. Haynes OF
Hillsboro, O., appointed federal pro-
hibition commissioner last week, when
Attorney General Daugherty had an
other candidate, might make him less
hostile to the White House for failure
to accept his recommendation on the
collectorship. but it did not.
Although Ohio is the nome state OF
the President, politicians here say that
since election it has been more torn
by factional strife than any other
state, and the patronage plums, g..
stead of making for peace, have o6l3.

and when Princess Izeil opened her
eyes she saw seven dwarfs of different
co,ors. pink, red, blue. yellow, purple.
brown and lavender, and such queer
looking creatures you cannot imagine;
even the Green Dwarf looked hand
some beside them, which was just
what the old witch intended.
And now, Mother. you must change

he with his seven queer companions
made ready on the shore to mount the
next incoming wave.

the seven Dwarfs into the wave and
the Green Dwarf with the Princess
Izell in his big arms leaped upon II
and they were carried far out into the
sea, and instead OF being drowned, as
mortals would have been the sever
dwarfs landed safe at the rocky home
