j Convention Next Week Maybe Tumultous And Storm Clouds Lower. f TIMES BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL TNDIA.NAPODI.S, IN'D., May 15 ' With the republican convention j brought to a harmonious close, much (o the disappointment of the democrats, the eyes of the state are turned toward ominous clouds gathering on the democratic horizon. There is a growing- belief that the storm will break in the. state convention on next Thursday, over any one or all of four formidable obstacles. T he first and most important question that is worrying democratic leaders is: the threatened break between Vi.-e Tresid'ait Marshall, who is to be the reinvention keynoter, and Thomas Taggart. the senatorial nominee. Tagi ga rt. is in absolute control of the desjtinies of his party this year and his, i following resent the attack made on j him last Tuesday by Mr. Marshall and they arf. cuming to the convention with "blond in their eye" to make the vice ! president atone for his slight on the i "bos." Mr. Marshall is quoted as having r. ferred to Mr. Taggart as a political "boss" and lie is further quoted as laving said: "Cut as far as politics goes, we have never played the same go me and I hav e never followed his ; 1 ader.-hip. I do not believe in the I kind of polities that he believes in." J AS ill the vice president, who is be1 ing groomed for the presidential noni- ' iiiation, dispute the control of the 'convention with Tasreart? ThU I a ouestirn that is grounded deeply into the hearfs of democrats and there are already indications that they are preparing to go to the mat for the French lack boss, even ir it means Marshall's political head. It is doubtful if tha vice president could ipuster enough strength to seriously ptnliarras Taggart's dictatorship, but he is in a position to muddy the clear watrs through which Taggart has been sailmg ever since he forced the party to !

More than w. ha if Pa I r the price the consumer pays for a of shoes is absorbed bu- tirnflt c cording to w. .left Kauck. former secretary of the war labor board, in a survey "f profiteering in the hoot and j industry made public here today, j Kauck is consulting economist of the i railroad brotherhoods. He has made a detailed study of profiteering in every j American industry to support tho broth, j erhocnis' plea for a minimum living wage or JCjQO annually. He places the blame for "unconscfon-abb-profiteering"' in shoes jointly on the packer, tanner, manufacturer, wholesaler and retaib-r. with the heaviest ! share of guilt on the leather producer, i The entire cost of manufacturing shoes for which the consumer paid $$.5c in inn was only $3.4 6, Iauck said. The report denies the popular contentieui that wage increases are responsible for this large, advance in price, holding that of . a representative $3.50 increase in price of a pair of shoes, labor reccivvi only 15 cents increase or less thin onetwentieth of tho advance. "The retailers' margin of profit." Kauck said, "is by far the largest, absorbing over one-third of the price, but i; does not show- so large an increase as the packers' and tanners' profits. As the largest tanneries are inelirectly a part of the big packers' varied interests, it ran be safely said that their profiteeringis very largely respond ibla for the high price of shoes. "The retailer has increased his margin in." per cent or $1.S2 per pair on the basis of shoes selling- for $8.50. The manufacturer appears to have increased his preijits less than others, although he tenik his hi chest profits in 1916, when they were twice the amount he took in 191 4."
