Underwear Industry in Amer
ica is Prosperous. '
Tie - Fact That the Bijyer Does Not
L Now Demand "Something Import
; ed" Is One of the Encour- .
aging Signs of Ttmea.
Washington, D. C.7Jan.'9. Foreign,
underwear is no longer . fashionable
; in the United States. The average
buyer may have no very definite idea
of the ..origin of the underwear he pur
chases at the store, but the fact "that
he no longer demands "something im
ported" is one of the significant and
encouraging signs ot the times. The
total output of American-made knit
' underwear in 1909 was valued at $84,
446,000, according to statistics contain
ed in a report on the subject just is
sued by the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, whereas the im
ports of cotton knit underwear for the
year previous to the war were valued
at only $34200k Cotton underwear
"forms the bulk of the imports of this
class of wearing apparel.
The new report on the knit-underwear
industry, is the result of a close
etudy of he situation in this country
by the cost of production division of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
- Commerce, and it is the third of a se
ries on the cost of producing wearing
J apparel prepared for the assistance of
Congress when tariff legislation is be
ing considered, the work of the bureau
In this respect being exactly similar to
that of the old tariff board. The earl
ier reports were studies of the muslin
underwear and the hosiery industries.
v As with the other reports it was the
original intention to , make a study of
the conditions in the knit-underwear
Industry in the principal manufactur
ing countries in Europe, but the war
has made it impossible to carry out
such a plan. '
The ' knit-underwear Industry in the
United States has had a rapid growth
In recent years, the increase -in out-T
fput from 1899 to 1909 amounting to
' more than 70 per cent., and since 1909,"
j. although exact figures are not avail
able, the growth has been fully as sat
isfactory.. The Industry is widely scat
tered but a large proportion of the
cotton knit underwear is manufactured
in TJtica, Amsterdam, and other places
in the Mohawk valley in New York
State. Cohoes, N. Y., is an important
center for the manufacture of woolen
knit underwear.
Sixty-three establishments were cov
ered by the bureau in its study of
the industry, and these concerns re
ported capital employed in the business
amounting to $18,126,026. For these
. companies the average manufacturing
profit -on net sales was 5.73 per cent.
"and' on capital employed In business,
8.45 per cent. Twenty-eight establish
ments had a manufacturing profit of
more than 10 per cent, on" capital em
ployed in business. To report reaches
the conclusion, therefore, that the in
dustry as a whole was in a prosperous
i condition during the normal times be
fore the war. The fact that some
-mills ' are ordinarily more prosperous
than others is attributed in a measure
to. a. difference In mechanical equip
ment and to the inferiorcost-account-
L ing methods used in some mills. - It
is anticipated that the criticisms in
' this respect will arouse as much dis
cussion as did similar comments in
the report on the hosiery industry. As
to the prosperity of the industry since
the war started, there 4s of course no
Question.
- As. in the closely related hosiery in
dustry a very marked tendency is no-
-." ticed toward direct sales from manu
facturer to retailer. Direct sales now
amount to more than 23 per cent, of
" the. total, and although this is con
siderably Lehind the percentage of ho
siery sold direct, it represents an im
portant increase within the last ten
.' years.' The advantages and disadvan
tages of direct sales are given con
siderable attention in the report.
' The use of antiquated machinery and
the failure to keep machinery in proper
condition are given as causes of low
profits In some mills. There have been
many improvements in machinery in
recent years, and mills that have con
tinued to use the old-type machines
are finding themselves at a decided
disadvantage, without being aware, in
som cases of the real causee of the
trouble.
In spite of certain adverse criti
cisms, however, the report as a whole
Indicates that the knit-underwear in-
, dustry is in a soundly prosperous con-1
oiuon and that there is no reason
to suppose that the future promises
- anything but a continuance of that
prosperity. Now that the industry
has developed sufficiently to meet the
enormous home demand, it is more
than likely that American-made knit
underwear will find its way in increas
ing quantities into the most promis
ing foreign markets.
A large part of the report is devoted
to
capital, pront, aan turnover, cost
and profit by establishments, and cost
and profit by specified units, and these

EXPORT TRADE OP FRANCE
I,
NOT PARALYZED BY THE WARj
Foreign Shipments Even More on Some
Products Than in Peace Times.
Paris, France, Jan. 9. : That the
French export trade Is not paralyzed
by the war, and that in some instances
France is exporting more products than
in peace times, is a curious and unex
pected situation indicated in recent re
ports of the Minister of Finance.
While France is buying in the sum
this year of about two billion .francs
from the United States, the money value
of her exports to the United States have
not fallen off more than ten per cent.
The .United States is France's second
best customer, rat present, with Eng
land her best. "The war merely "seems
to have changed in many cases the ac
customed commercial channels. For
instance, a Frenchman wished recently
to buy twine of the United States for
use in the southern vineyards to hold
up the, vines. Because -of the lack of
freight space in ships from New York,
and his hurry to secure positive deliv
ery, he cabled to an American firm in
Manila, asking that the twine ' be for
warded direct from there.
It Is' in the exportations of France
to the United States that may be seen
some odd phases of war business. Thus,
on a fen months basis, for table fruits
her 1913 exportations were ; 2,773,000
francs, whereas, for-the present year,
France sold. to the United States in the
sum of 7,187,000 francs. France soU
to the United States 3,916.000 francs
worth of perfumeries and soaps, an in
crease of 1,237,000 francs over 1913.
Her sales of milk, butter and cheese
have .increased from 1,727,000 francs in
1913 to2,787,p00 francs for the first ten
months of 1915. Her human hair sales
are .'practically the same this year as in
other years, being 1,258,000 francs. Her
wine sales are almost normal, at 8,086,-
000 francs. .
Yin the effort of her people to make
up for the enormous import bill, her
sales of artificial flowers and fruits have
jumped to 5,135,000 francs, a sum al
most twice that of normal years. The
same fact holds good for fancy fans,
buttons, brushes and toys.
. A striking fact of comparison is
brought out in automobile" sales. France
bought 70,401,000 francs worth of au
tomobiles and motor cycles during the
first ten months of this year, as against
4,418,000 francs in 1913, and she is sell
ing to the United States 2,461.000 francs
worth.
While France is buying twenty times
as much grain from the United States
as normally, she is sending to the Unit
ed. States twice as much seed grain as
in 1913. or in the sum of nearly 15,000,
000 francs.
Although - France is buying twenty
times as much leather goods from the
United States as in peace years, she is,
nevertheless, exporting to the United
States 6,000,000 francs more of the same
goods than she usually does.
8)00 -RICKSHAW-COOLIES
- IN SHANGHAI GO ON STRIKE
Transportation System In Chinese City
Entirely Tied Vp.
Shanghai, Jan. 19. Eight thousand
Rickshaw-coolies in Shanghai are on a
strike, and the city transportation sys
tem is entirely upset. ,The coolies have
established pickets in various parts of
the city, who. have punctured th
tires of rickshaws who attempted to
braek the strike and broken the heads
of rickshaw-men who refuse to join
the strikers. Over 90 arrests have
been made so far. The mixed court
has sentenced one man to three weeks'
imprisonment, and scores of othem
will be brought to trial in a few days.
Foreigners have been respected by
th Chinese in their rioting. However,
rickshaw-men have been unwilling to
risk assaults at the hands of the mob,
and the rickshaw traffic is practically
suspended. The trouble came - about
through the determination of the mu
nicipal authorities to reduce the num
ber of rickshaw licenses from nine
thousand to six thousand. This caused
the owners to - make an advance of
twenty per cent, in the rent they charge
coolies for conveyances.

NO ATTEMPT TO LYNCH
NEGROES AT GOLDSBORO
Two Are Held for Murder of
Mr. A. T. Gurley.
Saturday Wight Passed Quietly, 'Much
to - Relief of Many John Richards,
One of Negroes, Says Ills Home
Is in Wilmington. .
' . (Special Star Correspondence).
Goldsboro, N." C, Jan. 9. -Much to
the relief of the. timid ones, Satur
day night passed in this city with no
railroad bridges ' dynamited, no track
torn up, no trains wrecked or negroes
lynched, as was expected by the ex
cited rumors circulated throughout the
city 'that a large body . of armed men
were mobilizing In Grantham town
ship, the home of Mr, Grantham T.
Gurley, who was murdered 'near Golds
boro, last Thursday afternoon. Their
purpose, it was stated, was to lynch
the negroes now in the county jail
charged with committing the crime.
However, since the discovery of the
murder of Mr, Guney the community
and county has been at fever heat to
discover the perpetrators of the hor
rible crime, and' it is still feared by
officers of the law here that an at
tempt may yet be made to lynch the
negroes.-- The negroes are John Rich
ards, and Ishara Smith, who were at
least at, the scene of the murder, ac
cording to a statement by RlchardsT"
Richards, who claims nis home is' In
Wilmington, says he and Frank Coley,
a negro youth about IS years old,
whose father lives on Mr. E. B. Bor
den's farm, northwest of the city, went
to Mr. Jesse Strickland's store, near
the asylum and asked for some cheese,
cakes and crackers, and gave 'Mr.
Strickland a $20- bill out of which to
get his pay. Mr , Strickland observed
that Richards was very nervous, and
that his trousers were covered with
mudin front, and inspecting the $20
bill he dinwvArri what annfiarpfl .
bloody thumb print on It, freshly
made. He asked Coley where they got !
$20 and Richards spoke up glibly and
said it belonged to Coley's mother, but
Coley was silent.
As soon aa these two had left the
store Mr. Strickland got in, touch with
Sheriff Edwards, and in due time, af
ter much quiet scheming Coley -was
captured yesterday and last night
Richards was taken. Coley tells that
Richards came to his nouse about h
o'clock Thursday evening and asked
him to go with him to Strickland's
store which he did, and that Richards
gave him a pistol and knife, which
have subsequently been identified as
belonging to Mr. Gurley, the dead
man. Coley's mother bears out the
statement that Richarcs came to her
house, as stated about, and that up to
that hour Frank Coley had been at
home and in the room with her all the
afternoon. This exonerates Coley, so
far as complicity in the rime goes,
and Richards says that Coley was not
in the crime,
ADVERTISEMENTS OF LOTTERY
SCHEMES BEING SUPPRESSED
Post Office Malclns; Effort to Safeg-uard
the American Public.
Washington, Jan. 9. Increase in
the number of government lotteries
abroad as the war drags itself - out is
forcing United States postal authori
ties to be especially watchful to pre
vent their advertisement in this coun
try. The lotteries are given publicity
in the United States, in two ways, it
was said at the Post Office Department
today. Individual letters are written
to American citizens in an effort to in
duce them to purchase tickets and news
stories are circulated of fabulous sums
won.
Letters of soliciting clients, if they
fall into the department's hands, never
reach their' destinations. Some get
through the department if on the out
side they do not present a suspicious
appearance. All the suspected letters
are diverted and opened.
With news stories the department
does not find It so easy to deal. The
solicitor's office of the department holds
that any news story advertising a lot
tery must be barred from the malls."
Under the department's ruling this
means any story giving publicity to a
lottery. It does not have to be a paid
advertisement.
Many news stories of European lot
teries have been printed, recently, the
department says, which approach close-,
ly a violation of the law. A story that
mentions the name'of a winner or win
ners of a lottery is held" to be a dis
tinct violation. A. story, too, that might
be expected to attract such attention to
a" lottery that readers would investi
gate is held to be a violation.
A section of the law quoted by the
department reads: '
"No newspaper, circular, pamphlet or
publication of any kind containing any
advertisement of any lottery, gift en-

YEAR
ONE OF REMARKABLE
ACTIVITY AMONG JBOXERS
Many Bouts of Various Numbers of
Rounds Have Ben Contested.
New York, Jan. 2. The past year
has been one of remarkable activity
among the boxers, particularly those
of the United .States and Austria. Bouts
ranging all the . way v from the -four-,
round decisionless contests to the battle-jf
forty-five rounds or a knock
out have been staged in these or ad
jacent countries and while the . shift
ing of titles have been few almost ev
ery one of the recognized champions
has defended his pugilistic crown one
or more times during 1915.
Considering all classes of bouts,
whether short and decisionless or to a
finish, the records show that a group
of some fifty of the leading pugilists)
fought close to ,600 ring battles during
the twelve months Just completed. If
the list is enlarged, to include their
opponents the total number of boxers
engaged in these contests would ag
gregate more than one would run into
more than a million of dollars.
A peculiar feature of the record is
that , the lists show the boxers in the
intermediate classes- were the ones
that fought most frequently." Battling
Lavinsky and Jack Dillon, light heavy
weights, participated in fifty-odd bat
tles with the "Battler" having a mar
gin of four boutB over Dillon. ' In the
lightweight class Charley White, Fred-,
die Welsh, Ted Lewis, Johnny Dundee
and- Eddie Wallace were the leaders in
number of contests fought. Among
the heavyweights, Sam Langford, Sam
licVey, Fred Fulton, Gunboat Smith,
Al Reich and Jim Flynn were the busi
est boxers. The best showings, where
decision bouts only are considered,
I were made by Charley White, Les
jDarcy, Coffey-and Fulton. Frank Mo-?
ran and Jess Wiliard battled at a l.uoo
Bait, winning every contest in which
they engaged although the total num-
ber amounted to bnt four fights.
109.03S-NEW ZEALANDERS .. V
"WILLIKG" TO JOIN ARMY
However, in Many Quarters of Islands
ts Demand for Conscription.
Wellington, New Zealand, Jan. 19.
The war census recently; was taken in
New Zealand has shown that 109,638
men between the ages of 19 and'44 are
"willing" to serve in the Dominion's
expeditionary force if required. The
prime minister, Mr. Massey, says: t.
"I had confidence that when the
position was put to them they would
do- the right thing. I am satisfied
now that they will come forward when
wanted and so far as I am able to
judge a very large proportion of those
willing will be required." "
Notwithstanding the war census fig
ures and Mr. Massey's statement there
is from many quarters in the Domin
ion a strong demand' for conscription.
One county council has resolved" not to
employ single men who are k eligible to
go to the front and several influen
tial - newspapers in . New Zealand are
urging their own ' particular local
bodies to take similar action.
The marriage rate has lately assum
ed abnormal dimensions, from which
it is argued that many men are en
tering wedlock because employers have
announced that in order to leave young
men free to enlist they intend to give
preference to married men.
