Hat manufacturing and its subsidi-
airy industries of Danbury. Conn,
continue duh, awaiting further price
reductions in fur and other raw ma
terials. These reductions have long
been expected, and apparently they
are now on their way in earnest.
Most of the fur now being used in
the manufacture of what few hats
are being turned out was bought be-
fore the prices Of this material
reached the height Hat manufactur-
ers have refrained for more than six
months from buying, and fur cutters
have not been over anxious to sell.
Meanwhile, jobbers have made only
such price reductions in stocks Of
finished goods on hand as they were
compelled to make.
q The Massachusetts, commission on
necessaries of life has issued another
warning to retail coal dealers, declar-
ing that no justification longer exists
for high prices, and intimating that
1t might be forced to take action"
against dealers who continue to ask
top prices. The warning was appended
to the regular questionable sent out
each month TO the $50 retail coal deal
'ers OF the state. The commission
points out that the shipment of anthra-
cite to lake ports has been completed,
that production is rapidly approach
ing normal conditions and that the
coal received through New England
,gateways during December showed an
increase OF IS per cent.
John Bowler, largest stakeholder in
the business, purchased the Bowler
Bros. brewery of Worcester, Mass,

.nounced that he will cut the prop
'erty into smaller parcels and sell

Members Of the Cloak. Skirt and

tomorrow to formulate course OF

While the strike vote affects only

workers In other garment centers out

tempted to smash the unions.
Sample makers, cutters and press
workers, are not affected by the pro-

The manufacturers contend that a
reduction in the price of clothes is
necessary in order. that they may
avert financial disaster, and that the
pfecework system which, they claim,
means increased efficiency and great
er production, is the onl" solution of
their problem.

find the solution to the Ills of the in

out before. is responsible for a tre-
