Employes to Enjoy Proportion of Earnings. Adopting a policy which has been followed with much success by firms in other places, the Union Mfg. Co. has decided to share the vear’s earn- ing with the 400 employes of the concern. Just what proportion the cmployes will receive will not be { known until the books have been closed and the profits can be accur- ately estimated. Notices of*the com- pany’s plan have been posted in the actory and the news was naturally i received with broad smiles. For a number of months the firm has been warking overtime and is rated as being one of the most prosperous in the city. The Union Mfg. Co., has had a new jease of life under its present manage- ment and for a number of vears has forged ahead. When the late George W. Corbin and his brother, A. F. Cor- Lin, now president of the concern, took hold of the management nearly {en years ago, the factory was re- garded as a joke. It hadn't paid dividends for vears and was deeply in debt. How it ever kept going was a marvel to many of the city’s captains of industry but this has all changed znd instead of debts, the company possesses a rescrve and is doing a srlendid business, which is constantly on the increase, All the old buildings have been torn down and a fine brick, concrete and steel structure is nearly ready for occupancy, HEBREWS CONTRIBUTE TO FUND At the meeting of Jehuda Halevi lodge last evening $160 was raised for the war relief fund for the aid of the suffering Hebrews in the war zone.

Washington, Dec. 27—In a study of the hosiery industry of the TUnited States, just completed by the Bureau of Foreign Domestic Commerce, De- partment of Commerce, it is pointed out that since the war started there has been a great increase in the production of hosiery in this country and that even before the war began there had been a steady increase of about 15 per cent. annually for a number of years. One of the most noticeable results of the increased home production before the war started the rapid decrease in imports. 1909 to 1915 imports of cotton hosiery fell off from §6,400,- 000 to $3,000, 000 or over 50 per cent. This report by the Burecau of For- eign and Domestic Commerce is en- titled “The Hosiery Industry” and 1s the second of a series of studies of the clothing industry, the first of which dealt with muslin underwear. The reports are prepared by the Cost of Production Division of the Bureau and are intended primarily for the assistance of Congress when tariff leg- islation is being considered, the work of the Bureau in this respect cor- responding to that of a tariff board. The original intention in preparing the report on hosiery was to make a corresponding study of conditions in Europe, but the war rendered such an undertaking out of the question. The report as it stands, however, serves the very useful purpose of demonstrating that the hosiery in- dustry in this country is in a pretty sound and healthy condition. Cne of the most important reasons as- signed for this tisfactory state of affairs is the ex 2 of Americin sczmless hosiery. This sfyle of foot- wear is distinctively American. The knitting machines used in its manu- facture have been brought to their present state of efficiency by Ameri- can inventors, and their use i con- fined largely to this country. No less than 90 per cent. manufactured here is seamless. Low cost of manufacture is the main rea- son for its position in the market. The more expensive hosiery is full- fashioned. That is, it is made of sha ed or fashioned pieces which are clos- ed by seaming and looping. It has a seam ‘“‘up the back.” While higher priced, it is more likely to fit per- fectly, There was a time when all such hosiery came from abroad, and today practically all imported hose is full fashioned. Tt is the product upon which Furopean knitters con- centrated while Americans were per- fecting the seamless article. Of late years, however, the American |, mills have pushed forward even in this line. Between 1909 and 1914 the im- ports of hosiery fell off heavily, part- 1y on account of the growing popular- ity of the cheaper seamless product, but partly also because of the fact that the American full-fashioned stocking was brought quite up to the level of its foreign rival. The cheap- er full-fashioned cotton hosiery forms the bulk of the imports at present. The only silk hosiery purchased from abroad now is the very high-class expensive stocking demanded for special occasions. Net Sales Profit 6.66 Per Cent. The study just completed by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com- merce was made to include 73 estab- lishments, located in 16 States. Of these mills, 55 earned manufacturing profits, and 18 had losses. The aver- age manufacturing profit on net sales was 6.66 per cent., and the average manufacturing profit on capital em- ployed in business was 11.56 per cent. The reasons for losses or insignificant profits in some mills as compared with more satisfactory results in other mills were studied in great detail hy .the Bureau representatives and the conclusions reached from one of the valuable features of the report. A marked tendency to sell directly to retailers is pointed out in the re- port. This tendency is particularly noticeable among western mills. At present a trifle over 51 per cent. of the total net sales of the concerns visited are made through jobber: about 4 per cent. through commission houses, and 45 per cent. direct to retailers. T.ess than 1 per cent. are made abroad. The advantages anA disadvantages of the different selling methods are dealt with in relation to cost and profit. and some interesting observations are made on points that have long been disputed in the trade. The report states that there are cer- tain trade abuses common to the whole clothing industry, which have their offect on the manufacture and sale of hosiery. These evils are can- cellations, returns and allowances. ex- tra dating, special discounts, etc. They have been prevalent for years, and a3 time goes on they are increasing ra- ther than diminishing. All hosiery manufacturers complain of the prac- tices, but they have never taken an positive steps to eliminate them, the report states. Three of the most important chan- ters of the report are taken up with an exhaustive study of capital. profit, and turnover, cost and profit by es tablishments, and cost and profit hy specified units, Statistical tables form the bulk of this part of the work. There are also chapters deal- ing with cost accounting, manufac- turing processes, machinery used in the industry, working conditions, and suggestions for increasing foreign trade. The report has heen designated ! Miscellaneous Series No, 31, and is sold by the Superintendent of Docn- ments, Washington, and by the dis- trict and co-operative district offices of the Bureau of Foreign and Dg mestic Commerce; at a.nominal price of 25 cents a copy. of the hosicry, | on Friday HOLIDAY PICTURE FRAMING We Want Your PICTURE FRAMING and we guarantee complete satisfaction, workmanship and lowest possible prices in the city.
