HIGHER SHOE PRICES

Special Dispatch to The Star.
YORK, Pa, July 21.-Mahlon N.
Haines, former Washington man, who
owns a chain of Al shoe stores, has
written to President Roosevelt that, IN
order to help the recovery movement
he will not increase the price OF shoes
until January /, 1884, regardless OF ad-
vances made at the factory.
Shoes have already advanced from
10 cents to 81 pair, he says, but
9 100000 persons have been out OF
work and a big percentage of that
number are still looking for work. They
have been discouraged almost to despair
and should be given the advantage OF
the lowest possible prices on all ner-
chandise that they buy. Otherwise the
value of their dollar is lowered"

today unless they received further as

new RECORD SET
BY COTTON MILLS
Spinning Activity Advances
to 1921 Per Cent of One.
Shift Capacity.

BY the Associated Press.
United States cotton spinning opera
tions reached a new high record Of &C
tivity during June.
They operated at 1921 per cent Of
their capacity on a single-shift basis
This was sharp advance over activity
In May. which was at 1923 per cent Of
capacity.
June's activity was more than twice
that of the same 30-day period in 1882,
according to the monthly report of the
Census Bureau today.
Activity in June, 1882, was SIS per
cent of capacity
Based on an activity Of 896 hours
per day the average number Of spindles
operated during June was 39,917,475.
Many Of the mills ran at capacity
around the clock, with 25,540 ,504 spin
dies active during the month These
set up new record by operating an ag-
gregate of 9,299, IT'S ,O26 spindle hours
during the month, or 3oI hours aver
age for each spindle in place.
Both North and South Carolina set
up new records by each operating well
over 1000, 100000 spindle hours during
the month, South Carolina leading all
States with 2,43l ,494565 active spindle
hours. 1t also had the highest average
of active spindle hours-428 for each

|ply quit work. Although there were
reports Of clerks tearing up market
records, these lacked reriffcatfon..
Some houses that employed addition
al workers today complained that their
clerks, although finishing their own
work each night around 7 O'Clock, have
had to wait until 10 or 10:30, until
houses with undermanned stats turned
in their sheets to the various Exchange
clearing houses.
A few days ago one of the Broadway
houses experienced a short and sudden
riot in which some of the clerks sim
threw furniture through the big win
dows and walked out Although shat
tered panes of glass were noticed,
neither the firm nor the building Off
cials would say what caused the trouble.

rious exchange authorities will officially
consider this shortage of clerical forces
within the next few days and take
steps to alleviate the situation.
