THE COST of workers clothing went
J UP 72.2 percent from January, 1871,
to December, 1943, the two labor menu
bers of Pres. Roosevelt's Cost of Liv-
ing Committee declare in their recon-
mended report to the Committee. This
finding, like others, differs drastically
from the figures reported by the
Bureau Of Labor Statistics, the official
u. S. agency authorized to compile
cost of living figures.
The BIS reports that cost of cloth
ing has increased only 1877 percent.
The government agency's figure was
reached on the basis of a study of
prices in 1877 stores in "a cities-four
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1944-02-14

stores in each city except New York,
where five stores were taken.
Sharply challenging the method by
which the BIS reached it's figure on
increase in clothing costs as made
quate and ignoring important factors
particularly in working class buying,
the labor members report takes not
one, but three separate approaches.
It's final figure of 72.2 percent increase
is reached by balancing the results OF
the three months, all Of which reach
substantially similar results:
/. The first and most general
approach giving the overall change
In cost Of clothing from 1941 to
1943 shows that while prices went
up, the actual amount of goods sold
went down.

was not available after that. The next
higher line at Sears cost 70 cents in
1912 and 80 cents in 1943.
That the falling off of the cheap
err lines constitutes a serious problem
is pointed out in the report by a quo
tation from Economic Sterilization Dr.
rector Fred M. Vinson, who declared
recently:
"There exists a patriotic respon-
sibility on the part of all manufae-
turers of consumers goods to pro-
duce unitarian. durable products at
cost which the average consumer
Is able to pay"
Sales of clothing at over-ceiling
prices, another factor which the report
finds has contributed to the marked
rise in clothing costs, cannot be
measured with any accuracy, but we
are convinced that it is significant"
it states.

Rent. Clothing Prices Boosted

CONTINUED from Page b
Due to wartime crowding, lengthen-
Ing of hours, and employment of
women, many millions of workers
are eating in restaurants where they
formerly ate at home. The BIS gives
this factor a weight of 8 per cent;

port, it should be figured much

increase in clothing prices during the
war years.
Some instances based on the mail
order study made for the report are
cited:
Girls all-wool suits, size IA, went
up in price from SAT- in the Sears
1941 spring catalogue to $S.9s in the
1912 spring catalogue and thereafter
were not available.
Mems all purpose cotton socks which
could be bought from both Sears and
Montgomery Ward for seven cents a
pair in the spring Of 1941, were omit
ted from the 1912 and 1943 catalogues.
The cheapest substitute was a line
selling for three pairs for SO cents.

Commerce Dept. Foefs

Basing it's findings ON Dept. of
Commerce figures showing sales In
retail apparel stores, and ON figures
computed by the Federal Reserve
Board giving data on production Of
textile and leather products, the
report, by combining these two
changes, finds an increase In unit
price Of 76 percent.
2. In its second approach to the
problem of finding out more reals
tice figure of actual increase in cloth
ing costs, the report cites results of
a mail order survey. This was based
on a study of price changes in 153
items as shown by the mail order cat
alogues of Sears Roebuck and Mont
gomery Ward.
The survey showed price increase
of Ill percent from the 1941 spring
catalogues to the 1913 fall cata-
lOgues.

line was selected in the 1910 cata-
logues and followed through success
