CUT COST OF MEN’S CLOTHING
IS AIM OF RETAIL DEALERS
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Jan. 9.—Re
duction in the cost of men’s clothing I
/hnd furnishings by reducing the cost|
of production is the announced pur-j
pose of an organized effort which has
fbeen started by the National Associa-j
tion of Retail Clothiers. This is plan
ned to be accomplished by the forma-!
tion of a clothing industry commission
consisting of the allied industries in
the clothing trade.
The lowering process in cost is ex
pected to be done without cutting into
legitimate profits, according to Sol
Schloss of Indianapolis, the new pres
ident of the association.

“We are going to begin at the foun
tain head, that is, the original cost,
1 and everyone in the clothing business
is going to be given an opportunity to
aid in the movement,’ ’he said.
“We have sent out from our Chica
go headquarters a request that all
‘the various organizations in the cloth
ing industry appoint committees to
study out the best methods of elimin
/ating unnecessary expenses. This ap
peal has been sent to the clothing
manufacturers, woolen and worstea,
manufacturers, spinners, manufactur
ers of hats knitted goods and work
clothing When these committees have
made a complete survey of their va
rious lines and decided where the
slack can be taken up, the chairman
of each committee, will go to Chicago
and th eclothing industry commission
will be formed. When this commis
sion gets together all the results of
each allied industry will be imalgam-]
rued and in this way we should be
able to reduce to a considerable extent
the actual cost of distribution, which
.wil lenable the retailer to give better
values.

DEFICITS CAUSE BRESLEAU
TO ABANDON STREET CARS
BRESLEAU, Jan. 9—Unable to bear
the deficit piled up daily by the nu
merous lines Bresleau has suspended
street car operation. The situation
resulted from the depressed financial
and commercial conditions. Recently
street car fares were insufficient to
even pay the wages of employes and
there was little change of increasing’
fares because the mark’s decline was
swifter than the time needed to place
these fares into effect.
Similar steps have been taken in
many smaller cities, but Bresleau is
the first to abaiyion its tramways

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—The right
of physicians to prescribe beer for pa
tients was denied in a brief filed to
day by the government with the su

to result in final determination of that
question.
Defending the constitutionality of
the Willis-Campbell anti-beer law the
government’s brief, signed by Solici

has no medicinal value and its prohi
bition under physician's prescription
is necessary to enforce prohibition
laws.
