A vigorous conflict between major groups in the men's clothing field today dramatized the police problems created in the United States by the European war.

Capital and labor, as represented respectively by the Clothing Manufacturers' Association of the United States and by Sidney i 1 1 a n's Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, have framed a formula for adjustment of prices.

The principal objective of the department stores is to combat the manufacturers' plan to stamp their acceptances of spring clothing orders with a proviso for a price increase in case costs go up. The manufacturers had acted on the warning by Hillman of the clo'hin? union that failure to make this hedge would be at their own "peril," in view of the union's intention to seek wage increases to meet such increased living costs as may develop.
