Chicago, 111, Jan. 14. A demand that
"all cards be placed, face up oa the
table1 and the man found guilty of
profiteering be eliminated," was voiced
today by Fred Toilnnii, of Topeka,
Kans., before the National Association
of Retail Clothiers. .
'"Prices or money, he said, "do not
go up or down, but are put up or put
down. You elothiers are oa trial. Go to

The statement that high clothing
prices are- due to under-production re

Sidney Hillman, president of the A mailt-,

He entered the meeting of the National

whose ' members had made the 'tate

Frank Farrington, of the IUinoi Min

estimated th adranc la living" teout
sine 1914 in Illinois mining center at
from 110 to 78 per cent. Yearly earn
ing of coat miner In Illinois, however,
be said,, had increased only from ap
proximately 1700 to. 1913 to pww in
1918. In the light ef these figures, he
said, the miners' claim for a aixty per
oent increase- in wagea and thirty hour
week was justified.
John L. Lewi, acting president of th
United Mine Workers, gave eut a. statement-explaining
the thirty-hour week
demand as aa endeavor by the miners
to distribute their work throughout the
year. Geological survey estimate, Lewi
said, (bowed that the weekly operation
of mine for th thirty , hour . would
supply all th coat th country needed.
Attorney Ralph Crews opened for the

sixty per cent wage increase was the real
issue before the commission. He stqmp-
