WASHINGTON. Aug. 6.~The high'
price of shoes'was declared to be due
to excessive profits taken by every
factor in the shoe production industry
in a report by the Federal Trade Com-3
mission to Congress made public to-:
day. The packers were charged with.
having begun the pyramidtng of shoe:
prices by an unwarranted increase in.
the price of hides. the supply oil
which they were said to control. Onl
top «this increase, it was charged,‘:
the tanners have taken "exceptionalY
profits," while the shoe manufactur-
ers have demanded an “unusual mar—
gin," and the retailers have chargedl
prices that are “not justifiable."
The commission's report covering
the four-year period from 1914 to 1918,
is the result of an exhaustive inquiry
into the price of hides. leather, and
shoes, begun more than a year ago. it
was said. It has been in the Presi-
dent’s hands for some time, and it is
understand that he urged its speedy
printing and transmittal to Congress
in connection with efforts of the Gov-
ernment to combat the high cost of
