Hie statement in part follows: "It la generally tnougnt mac me cost of cloth is the controlling factor In ths coat of clothing, hut the fact is that tha cloth cost is less than half the cost of a completed ajylt, and other factors contributed t the price of clothing quite as much as the cost of tha cloth. "In tha last five years the cost of clothing the ordinary ault of clothes nas advanced no mere, inoeeo, nas ad vanced a little less, than the cost of labor and other materials that go into the making pf the suit. The fol lowing figures show this, which I have from a manufacturer and merchant of clothing of the highest prominence In Boston. "The cost In 119 of the cloth for a suit of clothes of a particular grade is 113.67. The corresponding cost In 1914 was $4.58, showing an Increase in tha cost of cloth of .0.
