INDUSTRIES REFLECT BIG PRICE SLUMP; MANY CLOSE DOWN Continued From Page 1. ers hope for no more than about four weeks of idle factories and idle cutters, stichers, lasters and the rest of the help. Take also a glimpse at the woolen mills.

The American Woolen Company operates 57 mills, and virtually all are operating on less than half time. Curtailment to four days a week from the normal 5 and half days came close on the heels of a general advance of 15 percent in wages. Hardly a week later the four-day week became a three-day week.

There are millions of dollars worth of unsold the factories, in and out of shoes at Boston, and the women of the city are thrill after another in dihaving one rect-from-factory shoe sales conducted by manufactur, in buildings hastily and tempora for the purpose of the The shoes laid but for the "slaughter' are chiefly women's Oxfords and intended for the spring trade that pumps, never materialized on account of bad weather and held in the factory cities by bad transportation.

there is the atmosphere of some of New England's supporting industries. It is tough for the man in the leather, shoe, wool or woolen but the ill wind is not as ill as game, the proverb describes. The women folk have been flocking to the shoe massacres in such crowds as to require the calling of the police to prevent broken ribs and plate glass. The women outside the shoe store, and, in fact, the consumer, generally throughout the country, may look at the picture and say, "That's what I did." That is what the great unorganized majority accomplished when it came to the conclusion with one accord that there was a limit to what could or would pay for things to wear Supply and demand are finding a new equilibrium at a new price. The old equilibrium became impossible.

The readjustment was pushed along by and al winter that overstayed its time, then was given a swift kick by the banks that had loaned too freely of their funds to business, and had to call upon business to pay up, making it Shoes and woolens stand out as characteristic New England goods, and goods of intimate concern to the consumer. Boston, the Hub, is the primary market for leather and wool, and the leather district of South st. and the wool district. Summer st. were full of pep and prosperity when prices were going up.

Tanneries that convert the hides leather lie out of the city of erudition, notably at Lynn, Salem and Peabody. These tanneries are operating only about 50 percent of capacity, and one hears that several are closing down entirely. A big tanner (he happened to be from Philadelphia) calling upon a Lynn shoe manufacturer announced the other day that his tannery, which usually tanned 3,000 dozen hides a week, was now down to 500 dozen a week, and probably would soon shut down altogether. Another tanner, operating a plant that had been a family institution for generation after generation, announced in Boston that the tannery was closing down for the first time in 100 years! The closing of a tannery entails not only continual loss in overhead charges, 'but also loss from the spoiling of liquors in the vats, which turn sour. In the leather district a dealer was heard whistling on the street.

A colleague of the trade accosted him and delivered this reproach: "Don't you -know better than whistle in the presence of the dead?"

Merchants Cancel Orders. So the merchant cut his prices.

He is not in a hurry to load up again with goods, even if his banker would let him. He has been cancelling his orders at the woolen mills as well as at the shoe factories. And the woolen mills and shoe factories have cancelled or stopped placing orders for their raw materials--wool and leather And the leather man has stopped buying from the tanneries, and the hides are piling up in the warehouses that stand figuratively back of the tanneries.

Japan has got "hers" in a decline of 70 percent. in the price of raw silklargely because America. stopped buying silk from Japan at a time when Japan was speculating its head off in that commodity.

As for the hides that go into glazed kid, the leather merchant explains that they had not had a drop comparable to the drop in silk for the reason that England and France have been buying heavily of the skins and sending them into Germany for WANT WORMAN CASE TRIED Houtain Asks Early Hearing to Show His Innocence. George Julian Houtain, lawyer, lecturer and civic worker, who was named as corespondent in the divorce suit brought by Alfred Worman against Grace E. Worman, singer and society favorite, today obtained from Justice Cropsey in the Supreme Court an order requiring Worman to show cause why the case should not be tried week and why he should not be next allowed to interpose a defense and bring evidence to prove his innocence of the charges made against him. In an affidavit submitted to Justice Cropsey, Houtain incorporated a vigdenial that he was guilty of orous misconduct at any time, anywhere, and asked for an opportunity to prove that the charges are untrue in view of the fact that the publicity given to the divorce evidence has caused him to be held up an object of ridicule and scorn.

Gradual Deflation Under Way. Nevertheless there has been a drop of about 25 percent in the prices of top grades of kid and calfskin. There has been drop of 25 percent (to strike an average) in wool. And there is word here that down in New Bedford high grade raw cotton has at last turned downward. These are raw materials and their decline means that the cutting of retail prices is going to be more than a flash in the pan.

The process of deflation, under the continual prodding of banks, which for a long time will be charged with the duty of gradually but persistently reducing loans, is being carried out piecemeal and industries are going to react to the process one by one. It is not a thing to be done over night, and the more gradual the better for business and for those who depend on business for a living. There is accordingly no horizontal and general cut in prices in progress. The things have come down that have been in greater supply and less demand. Food prices are high in New England and promise to remain so for a long time.

The need of more people on the farms and more home gardening is being iterated and reiterated. Domestic coal is $14.50 a ton in Boston, with 50 cents more for "putting in." The city traction system is a victim also of high costs and is passing the buck to the public in the shape of 10 cents per ride, long or short. And the Boston people are wondering if that is not more than the traffic will bear, for they face a tax to meet any deficit that the tractions may have. The State guarantees the dividends, and the Arbitration Board advances the pay of the carmen 16 percent, Busses Competing with Car Lines. A somewhat threatbare looking family of five--three kiddies--got on a car the other day and it cost the oppressed looking head of the unit 50 cents for one way on their Sunday afternoon outing.

Numerous car lines out of Boston have closed down. beaten to a standstill by the competition of the motorcar, and the rolling stock on the lines that are operating seems to be going into a decline. Yes, the changing economic order is a piecemeal thing. This series of articles will deal with the various phases that have developed conspicuously--the question of production catching up with supply, the question whether it is time to quit crying shortage of goods, the prediction of the merchant and manufacturer that the process of liquidation and declining prices has only just begun, the shoe sales of Boston and the position of Labor and how it feels about it all. (Copyright, 1920, Brooklyn Daily Eagle.) Ralph Peters.

president of the Long Island Railroad Company, has sent the following letter to G. H. Blanchard of Northport in answer to Mr. Blanchard's recent letter to the railroad complaining on the proposed increase in passenger rates: "For years before 1916 the road had a deficit from operations. The owners expected this, however, because we were going through a stage do of reconstruction and the expenditure of vast sums for extensions, elimination of grade crossing, electrificatiton, and it would take time for the earnhad a sudplus but an accrued profit ings to catch up, In 1916 the 9 road and loss deficit of over $7,000,000.

"In 1917 the earnings were inflated 10 some extent by the war, and a larger surplus was earned than in 1916. "In 1918 and 1919 the owners did not operate the road, as you know. The results, however, for the Government showed about an even break for the two years. It is true that the earnings were large, but the expenses climbed faster and higher. For instance, if you will read the booklet again you will see a statement about the payrolls increasing 91 percent from 1917 to 1919.

"Everybody knows that railroads lose money in the direct handling of passengers at commutation rates now in effect. The average rate paid by commuters on the Long Island Roard in 1919 was three-fourths of a cent per mile. The cost to handle each passenger per mile was 1.57 cents. The revenue per passenger for all business was 1.53 cents per mile. Therefore, while we lose on the commuters directly, communities are built up outside the big congested centers and the railroad gets other business at remunerative rates.

"The Long Island is compelled to adopt trunk line standards, pay trunk line rates of wages, but does not enjoy a heavy freight tonnage and heavy passenger traffic during the entire day to absorb its losses, and that is the reason our commutation rates. are higher. Just keep in mind that 47 percent of the pasengers we carried in 1919 were commuters at the low rate. "As we see our situation now, we must earn a small profit on every passenger we handle. In 1919 We handled 1,022.000.000 passengers one mile.

The average revenue per passenger per mile was 1.53. The average cost per passenger per mile was 1.567, a loss of about three-tenth of a mill per passenger per mile. This loss applied to the number carried meant a money loss of $368,000. "The increase we are asking for, we believe will run the average revenue per passenger per mile up to around 1.6 cents. If expenses do not climb higher beyond 1919 we will be in much better shape.

Please keep in mind that the average earning; per per mile on all the railroads passenger in the United States was 2.6 cents in 1919, more than d. cent a mile higher than the Long Island."
