Wallace & Co.,: 103 Ghesnut Street. New Tork. April 17. Recent action ;t)T the New York Retail Shoe .Dealers' association for limitation of profit on j standard" footwear, that is shoes ! selling for $10 or less a pair .and 'which qo not carry a luxury tax, has created what might be called "a tempest "in a shoe shop" all over the United States. ,,The tempest was caused by a little item wired from New Tork on March 22 to the effect that tne federal au thorities had announced they had been informed by John Slater, president of the local retail dealers' association, that, "standard" shoes would be reduced during ,the spring and summer. It was published in many newspapers and pa ter and mater familias, with lots of lit tle feet to be shod, chuckled over the irlad, good news at many a supper ta ble. The item read: '- ."New Tork, March 22. Prices of -.; standard shoes will be reduced dur Ving the spring and summer, John .V.Slater, president of the Retail f Shoe Dealers' association, an 'nounced today. In a communication. $ to' Arthur "Williams, federal food , administrator. Retailers at a re s; cent meeting decided to be con tent with a smaller margin of prof-.- it, Mr. Slater said. Reductions," however, will not apply to 'all "'. kinds of fancy and ultra-fashlon-;able footwear.' "I ' "The action of tne retail shoe defelers, Mr. "Williams Eaid, proba v bly presaged the beginning of a general narrowing of profit mar gins in other wearing apparel." thi ArkfltiMin Headline .One paper in Arkansas carried item with the heading: "Here's Hope for the "Weary; Says prices May Come Down." , By many it was regarded as tfhe" first reaj move toward a reduction 1n the high cost of livng. The next day or so retail shoe store patrons from coast to coast and from Oshkosh to the. Gulf visited their favorite' dealers to- buy the cheaper footwear. The dealers, many of whom had not had a ."marked down" sale since before the nvar; said they had not heard anything about a decline in prices. The news spread in the trade, how ever; and soon dealers, jobbers and manufacturers began to bombard Mr. Slater with inquiries as to the basis for his assertion. Meanwhile Mr. Slater had been interrogated here by The Associ ated Press regarding the correctness of the statement, attributed to him and he declined to comment on it. Where upon Mr. Wiiliams. formerly federal food administrator and fair price com missioner, w.as. visiter, anc He confirm ed the. statement sent out by the Asso ciated Press. i It became known, however, that much of the confusion had been caused by "the form of -the announcement made from the office of the fair price com missioner, for instead of a general statement such as was Indicated by the announcement the only plan in con templation was limitation of profits in New Tork City; and even that has fail ed to be put into effect. Mr. Williams, however, stood by the statement as car ried by the Associated Press. He said it was correct and he would assume full responsibility for it. . .Mx. Williams .explained that early this spring the federal authorities made an effort to reafh an understand ing with Xew York retailers' concerning the profits on footwear. In his official capacity-as fair price commissioner, he said, he received on March 22 last, a communication from Mr. Slater as president of the New Tork Retail Shoe Dealers' association, containing a pro posal for limitation to -a maximum of 21 to 35 percent, of .retail profits on shoes selling at. 510 or less per pair. Mr. Williams said he referred the pro posal to United States Attorney Caffey. No action on it has been taken by the department of justice. Mr. Williams has since resigned and no successor has been appointed. Meanwhll the re tail price of standard shoes in New Tork remains as high as ever. Slater's Explanation While declining to make any state ment for publication In fegard to the diverging views of j Mr... Williams and himself,-Mr. Slater 'sent an "explana tion" in letters and telegrams to news papers and members of the shoe trade over the country, saying that Mr. Wil liams had told the reporters that he thought shoes would be cheaper. He de nied he had "told this to Mr. Williams, and said that although Jt was true negotiations were under way for limi tation of profits he saw no basis for the assertion that prices would come down. A JTort Smtth, Ark., merchant who wrote Mr. Slater rectlved a reply which apparently gave the death blow to the expiring hopes, built upon the announcement from the fair price com missioner's office, that shoes would be cheaper In New Tork or anywhere else. Mr. Slater said: "In making my rec ommendation to Mr. Williams about the. maximum profit to be allowed on non-taxable footwear I told him that the price of shoes would not come down". Explaining his stand In regard to higher-priced shoes, he added: "In my -arguments with the govern ment I take the stand that the excise or luxury tax placed on shoes of $10 or over, takes them out of the neces sary (necessity) class under which the Lever act operates. The Lever act specifically states that there must be no excessive profits on the necessaries of life such as feed, food, shoes and clothing, and gives them the right to regulate this profit." A Springfield, Ohio; firm which want ed to know who wag responsible, Mr. Slater or Mr. Williams, for the demands for cheaper shoes with which dealers were being bombarded, wrote a letter to ihe Associated Press In which it male this comment: ' "It Is such misleading reports which are causing 90 per cent, of the discon tent among the buying public. This does not apply exclusively to the) shoe business but to other lines of mer chandizing. The public believes that all merchants are profiteers. Bolshevist ideas and discontent are growing everywhere and will cost America dearly some day unless the facts are given to the public. f "The facts regarding this statement are that there is no reputable manu facturer we know of, wno will aocepjt duplicate orders today at prices as low as those prevailing when sp were being booked. Orders -placed now for fall deliveries are at the higest prices ever known In the Industry. If immediate orders and orders for fall delivery cost more than spring goods and merchants are doing business on a small margin of profit, how can shoes possibly be cheaper T MEMBERS NEW BERN BAR ENDORSE JUDGE GUION Would Make Able Successor To Justice Brown On Bench i 1 I, '" 1 ' L " 1 ' 1 ' : -?

A great ship, a giant-locomotive, a huge bridge, a gigantic building. Search for the sinews in a Maxwell and you discover new steels, fine steels, special steels, steels manufactured to Maxwell's own formulae v Steels, for instance, that make possible that rare combination of extreme lightn jss and brute .. strength. ; For a Maxwell is made to be light in weight. Its mission is economic, transportation:. Any superfluous pound to 4 carry around means so much more cost of operation. But the' great problem was to get steels of rare quality 1. and v great strength. They are found in a Maxwell in axles, shaftings, gears, frame, crankshaft, connecting rods, etc., etc. ' They equal; pound for pound, the. steels to be. found in any car made. Costly as they are; they repay their price many times over in the lifetime of a Maxwell. They save. They pay divi dends of satisfaction. .They make friends. They are responsible for that rapid rise of Maxwell the world over. Nearly 400006 now in use; 100,000 more in process of construction; and fully 40 per cent of those who have de- t cided upon a Maxwell as their first-choice car will not be able to get one : this year so over whelming is the demand for this remarkable car.
