K V Samuel Rosenblatt Says De mand Is Greatest Ever. FACTORIES ARE HELPLESS Portland Merchant Finds Country Is Exceptionally Rich and Is Spending More for Clothes. "There never was eo much pros perity in this country of ours as there la right now." Samuel Rosenblatt, of the local clothing firm of Samuel Rosenblatt & Co., ia authority for the foregoing statement. Mr. Rosenblatt bases his opinion on observations made on his recent business trip to Chicago and New York. "The enormous demand for good clothing is all the proof this state ment needs," said Mr. Rosenblatt yes terday. "Every clothing manufactur ing concern in the country is working full time, or overtime, and yet they simply can't turn out enough clothea to supply the demand. Prlcea Coins HiKer. "Prices have advanced greatly i-: the last few months and apparently are going even higher. This is due to the unprecedented demand and the shortage in certain supplies. The weavers can't get enough, wool and they haven't enough machinery tj turn it out fast enough to make all the clothes that the people of thk country would buy. . "It's the same way with the makers There just isn't enough factory ca pacity and there aren't enough work ers to turn out clothes fast enough. , "I found clothing manufacturer' making great preparations to mer the increased demand next eprin. Nevertheless, it looks now as if cloth ing for next spring is going to be a. scarce as it was this fall and prices probably will be somewhat higher. Service Men Create Demand. 'The fact that something like three million men have come back into civilian clothes has something to do with the enormous demand. Then, too, workmen everywhere are getting higher wages and millions of men who never bought good clothing be fore are buying it now. "Another thing that impressed me is the fact that a large share of the money that used to be spent for in toxicating liquors before the nation went dry is now going into wearing apparel for men, women and chil dren. This has an important effect on the demand for good clothes, and it's not a temporary effect, either. It's bound to last. "There have been some big style changes for spring. We are feeling the effect of English and French styles more than ever before. That, of course, is because so many of our young fellows have been abroad and have seen what they are wearing over there. Sport .Suits More Popular. "The great popularity of what is known as the sport suit Is due large ly to the fact that in Europe the well dressed young men have these sport clothes for outdoor occasions in addi tion to their regular business and dress clothes. They are good looking and convenient, and they're destined to have even greater popularity. "Coats will be longer next spring and the waist line lower. There will be some noticeable changes in pocket and lapel treatments. The collars will be longer and the buttons lower too and the peak lapel has a tendency to cut away to a lower gorge. "The new styles are most attrac tive. The changes which are being made are welcome ones and next spring's showing of men's clothing will be the most pleasing that we have seen for many seasons."

PHONE TENDER REJECTED ELECTRICAL WORKERS RE FUSE TO ACCEPT OFFER. Secretary Wilson Chairman and Herbert Hoover Vice-Chairman. Executive Session Held. WASHINGTON. Dec. 1 Under the permanent chairmanship of Secretary of Labor Wilson, another attempt to harmonize relations between capital and labor was begun today with the opening of the second industrial con ference, called by President Wilson. Herbert Hoover was elected perma nent vice-chairman and Stanley King of Boston temporary secretary. The second conference began behind closed doors after newspapermen present had been asked to leave. Speaking for the conference when the first session adjourned after more than three hours of discussion, Mr. King Said executive sessions would be continued "for the present" and that me question or opening the doors had not yet come before the delegates, several of whom are understood to favor utmost publicity. Secretary Wilson explained before he called the delegates to order that he believed executive sessions advis able to permit frank discussion, while allowing the delegates to keep their minds open until a decision was reached. He declared their ideas should not be "chained" to first ex pression of opinion before hearing what other delegates had to say. In opening the conference Mr. Wil son recited the general situation which required new deliberations by delegates, all of whom have been prominent in public life and few of whom have been identified with either side in industrial controversies of the past. The general field of activities to he covered and the bet methods of dealing with each subject were dis cussed without a decision being reached. The cost of living, collec tive bargaining and other problems of the day entered into the talk. None of the delegates wouTd ven ture an opinion as to when the con ference would finish its task.

Although directors telephoned to sev eral who have criticised the manner in which school money has been han dled and expressly invited them to appear, the only outsiders present were reporters.
