B To have Re] ___ _W Vithn (117' HODDY CLOTH.S IS THROWN ON WOR.D MARKEI Chicago, June 29.-Half a billion ounds of shoddy were thrown on the merican clothing market in 1919, vhile a billion pounds of unmanufac ured, virgin wool were accumulating n the storehouses. Shoddy is made f woolen rags, re-spun perhaps as >ften as eight times. It is w6ven with small percentage of virgin wool to tick the broken fibres together. Of he 620,000,000 yards of "all wool" loth produced by the nation's mills, he amount of shoddy used would have >roduced 380,000,000 yards, if straight hoddy cloth had been turned out. Aiixed with a little new wool, it en cred into the composition of a vastly preater yardage. In the same period, he amount of new wool used would Lave produced 240,000,000 yards of 'irgin wool cloth, if it had not been Adulterated with shoddy. These statistics were made public oday by the National Sheep and Wool sureau of America, No. 29 South La salle -street, which is organizing the heep, farm and business interests of he country behind the French-Capper ['ruth in Fabric bill. This bill was eft in the hands of the Interstate 0ommerce Committee of both houses >f Congress at adljournment. It is dec iigned to compel manufacturers to tampl their cloth with the percentages f virgin wool andl -f shoddly it con ains. Howard E. Greene, Secretary f the Bureau, said: "Last year, as never before, the hoddy interests succeedled in foisting heir goods on the public. Only 600, '00,000 lbs. of wool in its natural state r 300,000,000 lbs. of cleaned wool, Vere converted into cloth. Most of his amount was mixed with shoddy a make it stick together. If the en ire 300,000,000 lbs. had been made in a pure virgin wool cloth ,it would ave provided only 240,000,000 yards, s against 380,000,000 yardls of shoddy oods. "It wouldl have taken 1,550,000,000 >s. of virgin wool to have made the ntire 620 000,000 yards of "all wool" lothi turnedl out by our mills. But Ie entire amount needl not have been Indle of virgin wool. There should ave been virgin wool cloth for those rho could afford it and shoddy for iinner purses. That wvould have pro ided for fair competition between irgin wool cloth and shoddy and for fair range of prices. Insteadl, trough the lack of stamping, shoddies rere sold as 'all wool' and the public, ccepting 'all wool' to mean virgin rool, was denied the right of choice ndl the benefit of a range of prices. "Todlay, the stores are filled with hoddy clothing and the storehouses, ,'ith a billion pounds of virgin wool. 'he shoddy interests have become so horoughly intrenched through the Ight of their product to masquerade .s new wool undler the popular term, ill wool,' that they have been able to reate in their own behalf an artificial ver-supply of virgin wool. "In spite of this billon lbs. of vir ~in wool in the storehouses~ ,the world produces annually a third leuss wool han It needs and the demand for new vool is as great as ever. The shoddy nanufacturers have simply thrown hemselves between the public with t It's Good! an ice-cold bottle of rei Chero-Cola 'reshing L bad after etlect its demand for virgin wool cloth and the shoop men with their supply of virgin wool. "As a result, the wool-growers are being forced into insolvency. To save those of the West from ruin, the Fed eral Reserve Board has authorized the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank to advance money to help them carry their unsold clips. But this aid af fords only temporary relief. The far mers and sheep men must have per nanent relief from the unfair competi tion of the rag-pickers. "That billion pounds of unmanufae turcd, virgin wool in the storehouses, kept from the public that wants and needs it by the legal right of manu facturers to use unidentified shoddy in their 'all wool' cloth, threatens the annihilation of the sheep and wool in dustry. It is to the interest of every voter to get behind the French-Capper Truth in Fabric bill and see that it is enacted into law at the next session of Congress. Between enlightened pubblic opinion and the Truth in Fab ric law, the wool-growers may be able to recover some of this spring's losses at next spring's clip." While loaning the sheep men money to withstand the rag-pickers' compe tition, the United States Government is doing more than any other single agency to swell the rag-pickers' in come. In the suppllement to "Com merce Reports," issued April 20, the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, of the Department of Com merce, rep~orts undler the caption, "Army Garments Salvaged": "The number of garments received at Dewsbury (Great Britain) each wveek is about 200,000 and the esti mated total since the dlepot was es tablished is no less than 150,000,000 weighing about 44.0000 tons. * * ** Those that are too dilapidatedi for fur ther- wear are classified, blended and sold as woolen rags to shoddy andl 'loth manufacturers to be pulled into libre andl re-made into cloth, principal ly for the civilian trade."
