HALL IS OPENED Prohibition Agent on Trial Second Time. WASHINGTON, Hoc. 29. The American people, themselves, are hindering the movement in its campaign to bring down the cost of clothing by demanding only merchandise made from the finest wools, declared Howard Flgg, assistant to the nttornoy general in charge of the high cost of living campaign, today In endorsing the statement Issued last night in Boston by William M. Wood, president of the Amer ican Woolen company. Mr. Wood in his statement declared that if the American people would con sent to wear good substantial clothes made of coarser wools, clothing would bo available at considerable lower prices. "We cannot expect the price of clothing to be materially re "duced as long as the public de mand Is directed to tho higher priced merchandise, said Mr. Klgg. "The retailer as a result of this demand on the part of the public has unconsciously fal len Into the habit of displaying only merchandise of the higher price clothing, the result being that the manufacturers of materials entering Into the com pleted suit has had to devote tho majority of his operation to tho manufacture of cloth In line with demands of the retail dis tributor. As a consequence, there has been a very little cloth of a good quality at a reasonable price manufactured. "I am Informed by the manu facturer that he can today man ufacture cloth of a good quality at a price far below the prevail ing prices if the wholesaler and rotaller will devote a certain per centage of their operations to the distribution of this quality, which would have the effect of causing u reduction of from 25 to 60 per cent in the present prices of mens clothing."
