Price Probe Expected
To Air Differences
lin Textile Market
By J. B. WoIIoeh
III American Newspaper Aliion,

NORM American newspaper AUionee
NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-When the
congressional price probe is launched,
it is anticipated in business quarters,
considerable attention will be de-
voted to pre-OPA profits and post
OPA net showings. Any inordinate
rise in profit margins, it it presumed,
| will become suspect.
While there are no legal limits
on profits, and any manufacturer or
distributor is tSeei to price his wares
las high as the traffic will allow u
excessive profits in the period after
World War I led to costly, profiteer-
ing recriminations and aroused en-
during Ill will.
+ One of the most vigorously scraped
bones of contention is the textile
price structure. The course of textile
prices has been apparent but not so
apparent to some factors in the
trade has been validity of the rea-
sons for successive increases. This
difference of opinion may be aired
at the hearings.
Higher textile prices especially hit
hard the ready-to-wea trades be-
cause the new silhouette requires ad-
ditional yardarge per garment. It
has been estimated that as much as
20 per cent has been added to the
cost per garment by the new FASH
ions, particularly the longer skirts
and coats.
Fridays meeting here Of the AS
sociation of Buying Offices to take
up the question of store policy raised
by the practice of garment manu-
facturers of increasing prices be-
fore making deliveries on confirmed
orders. in some respects, is direct
result of spiraling fabric costs.
1t is understood that at least a
few textile interests are fully mind
full of the situation that has de-
veloped. Some were reported to
have attended meeting in recent
weeks to discuss ways and means of
ridding Nhe industry of undesirable
practices.
Among the latter is one which al
locates limited quantities of high
demand fabrics to cutters while
shipping more liberal allotments to
jobbers because of a price differ
ential involved. 1t has been charged
that the necessity of buying such
fabrics from "second-hands" at ex-
orbitant prices has pyramided ap-
parel costs.
If the price probe delves into these
controversial matters and merely
emerges with the facts, it could
have q salutary effect.
