lutions pledging the association to
prevent as far as possible over
stimulation of purchases on the part
of retail clothiers, as well as the pub
lic,' and recommending conservative
purchasing, were adopted today by

tional Clothing Manufacturers' asso
ciation, in an address, advised
clothiers not to buy clear up to their
expected demand, but to fill n later
in the season, if they ran short. His
statement that manufacturers were
not to blame for the retailers being
over-bought last season was crltl
ciscd by Maurice Rorphuro of Fresno
who asserted that the wholesalers had
overcharged the retailers the last two
years.

ganda" was declared by . the resolu
tions to have led the public to expect
a reduction in clothing prices, whereas
there had been no reduction in cloth
or in labor costs.

operation of all manufacturers with
the government in enforcement

federal tax scheme based on a per
centage of sales plan was urged.
