ICE Sunday- March 3. 1950 Handbag Makers Rap Competition From Over Seas New York (U.R) The Ameri can women's handbad industry is carefully watching imports from Germany. It seems a potential threat to the domestic trade. Right now, it can't complain because German imports are miall. But industry spokesman say that right after the peace treaty, they expect German handbags to come over here in volume. The voice of the Industry Is the National Authority for the La dies' Handbag Industry, a priv ate association embracing some 250 manufacturers. A. Mittenthal. co-director, said: "German bags, and to some extent those of Franco and Italy, are coming into this country in greater numbers and causing considerable concern In the trade. Good Quality Bagi "They are the types that are made here and directly compete with American manufacturers. Bags retailing for $16.50 are of good quality, styled for our mar kets and very attractive. Mittcnthal's associate, Max Berkowitz, already has been to Washington about It. His principal complaint has been that the United States gov ernment Is, In effect, subsidizing the German industry, by selling leather to German manufactur ers for 60 cents a foot while U. S. makers must pay $1.10. Another point he made is that German labor costs less than American labor. Mittenthal claims it provides German mak ers with a 30 per cent edge.
