REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT U.S. Tariff Commission, January 30, 1973. To the President: In accordance with section 301(f)(1) of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (TEA) (76 Stat. 885), the U.S. Tariff Commission herein reports the results of investigations made under sections 301(c)(1) and 301(c)(2) of that act, relating to women's dress and casual shoes. On December 1, 1972, the Commission received a petition filed on behalf of Dainty Maid Footwear, Inc., Gettysburg, Pa., and on December 27, 1972, a petition filed on behalf of the former workers of that firm, for determinations of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under the said act. Accordingly, on December 18, 1972, the Commission instituted investigation TEA-F-47 and on January 5, 1973, investigation TEA-W-169 to determine whether, as a result in major part of concessions granted under trade agreements, articles like or directly competitive with the women's footwear produced by the afore- mentioned firm are being imported into the United States in such in- creased quantities as to cause, or threaten to cause, serious injury to such firm and/or the unemployment or under employment of a signifi- cant number or proportion of the workers of the firm, or an appropriate subdivision thereof. Public notices of investigations were published in the Federal Register (37 F.R. 28327) on December 22, 1972 and (38 F.R. 1240) on January 10, 1973. No public hearings were requested and none were held. 1 2 The information in this report was obtained principally from officials of Dainty Maid Footwear, Inc., and from the Commission's files. 3 Findings of the Commission On the basis of its investigations, the Commission unanimously finds that articles like or directly competitive with footwear for women (of the types provided for in items 700.43, 700.45 ) and 700.55 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States) produced by Dainty Maid Footwear, Inc., Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, are not, as a result in major part of concessions granted under trade agreements, being imported into the United States in such increased quantities as to cause, or threaten to cause, serious injury to such firm, or unem- ployment or underemployment of a significant number or proportion of the workers of such firm, or an appropriate subdivision thereof. 4 Views of Chairman Bedell, Vice Chairman Parker, Commissioners Moore and Ablondi Our determinations in these investigations are in the negative because the criteria established by sections 301(c)(1) and 301(c)(2) of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (TEA) have not been met. Before an affirmative determination can be made, the Commission must find that each of the following conditions have been satisfied: (1) Articles like or directly competitive with those produced by the firm are being imported in increased quantities; (2) The increased imports are in major part the result of con- concessions granted under trade agreements; (3) The firm is being seriously injured, or threatened with serious injury; and a significant number or proportion of its workers are unemployed or underemployed, or threatened therewith; and (4) The increased imports resulting from trade-agreement con- cessions are the major factor in causing or threatening to cause the serious injury to the firm and the unem- ployment or underemployment of the workers. In the instant cases, we find that condition (4) hashas>not been satisfied; namely increased imports of articles like or directly competitive with the dress and casual footwear produced at Dainty Maid 'Footwear, Inc., have not been the major factor causing, or threatening to cause, serious injury to the firm and the unemployment or uderem- ployment of its workers. Under the circumstances, we are not required to reach a conclusion respecting the first three conditions, and we have not done so. In arriving at our determination, we were persuaded chiefly by the following considerations. Dainty Maid Footwear, Inc. began producing women's dress and casual footwear in March 1968, when imports of such footwear were already supply- ing more than a fourth of the U.S. market and were increasing rapidly. 5 Moreover, it was a matter of public knowledge by mid-1967 that the rates of duty for women's footwear would be further reduced in annual stages beginning in January 1968. In spite of the rapidly increasing share of the market obtained by imports, Dainty Maid operated at full capacity in both 1970 and 1971 and the sales increased each year through 1971. From the beginning and through 1971, the bulk of Dainty Maid's production consisted of one basic style of footwear, ;pump with various types and heights of heels. In 1972, the firm drastically altered its product mix and also increased its prices. About half of the output in 1972 consisted of vinyl boots; about a fourth, clogs and walking shoes; and about a fourth, dress boots. In 1972, as the prices were increased and changes in styling were made, sales declined. Some of the firm's customers turned increasingly to imports as Dainty Maid's prices were increased and its product line changed. However, the major factors that caused the loss of sales and the cessation of operations were increased costs (and prices) and the inability of the firm to find a suitable market for its new product line. According to the firm's records, Dainty Maid lost money in three of the five years of its operation. In 1971, a year during which the plant was operating at full capacity and in which peak sales were achieved, the company still operated at a loss. The financial condition of the firm was precarious from the very beginning. In four of the five years of its operation, the corporate owners had to lend it money and the accounts receivable were factored for all five years. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was never better than 1.4 to 1-- 6 substantially below a generally acceptable rate. In July 1972, the indebtedness was further extended when * * * * was borrowed from a finance company. In September 1972, the company suspended payments on that loan and in October 1972 was forced to cease operations when a judgment was obtained and the equipment was sold at public auction. The precarious financial condition of the company and other operating and management decisions, including the change in product line, were the major factors that caused the company to cease operations.

  • FOOD, CLOTHING, SHELTER Food
    COLORADO INDIANS – FOOD, CLOTHING, SHELTER Food What do these photos tell you about the food that these people ate? American Bison (Buffalo) This is a bison or American buffalo. Millions of bison once lived on the Great Plains of North America. In the 1800s, they were the largest animal native to North America. An average buffalo cow provided about 400 pounds of meat. That was enough meat to feed one person for at least 200 days. Buffalo Photo: Colorado Historical Society More About This Topic The bison lived on the blue grama and buffalo grass that grew on the plains. During the summer, when there was a lot of grass, the buffalo grazed in large herds. Some herds had several thousand animals. That was the best hunting season for the Plains Indians. The bison broke up into smaller herds during the winter, when there was less grass to eat. Their Own Words "From the top of Pawnee Rock, I could see from six to ten miles in almost every direction. The whole mass was covered with buffalo, looking at a distance like one compact mass....I have seen such sights a number of times, but never on so large a scale." Source: Colonel Richard Irving Dodge, May 1871, quoted in Donald Berthrong, The Southern Cheyenne (Norman, OK: University of Oklahoma Press, 1963, p. 31. Drying Buffalo Meat The pole in this photo holds strips of bison or buffalo meat that are drying in the sun. Removing the moisture kept the meat from spoiling. Dried meat could be kept for several months.

  • A Study on the Characteristics of 20Th Century Womenfs Undergarments
    IJCC, Vol. 6, No. 2, 83 〜92(2003) 15 A Study on the Characteristics of 20th Century Womenfs Undergarments Seo-Hee Lee and Hyeon-Ju Kim* Assistant Professor, Dept, of Fashion and Beauty, Konyang University Instructor, Dept, of Clothing Science, Seoul Women's University* (Received June 23, 2003) Abstract This study aims to classify -women's undergarments of the 20th century by periods, and to examine their characteristics. The research method consists of a literature study based on relevant documentary records and a demonstrative analysis of graphic data collected from each reference. The features of women's under­ garments obtained from the study are as fallows: First, silhouette changes of outer garments appear to influence the type and style of a new undergarment. Second, technological development results in a new type of undergarments. Third, the development of new material appears to influence functions and design of undergarments. Fourth, social changes including the development of sports affects the changes of undergarments. As seen so far, the form or type, material, and color in undergarment diversify when fashion changes become varied and rapid. As shown before the 20th century, the importance of undergarment's type, farm, and function gradually reduces according to the changes of -women's mind due to their social participation, although it still plays a role in correcting the shape of an outer garment based on the outer silhouette. The design also clearly shows the extremes of maximization and minimization of decoration. Key words : undergarment, modern fashion, lingerie, infra apparel the beginning of the 20th century, corsets and I.

  • The Platform Shoe History and Post WWII
    The Platform Shoe – History and Post WWII By Martha Rucker Cave drawings from more than 15,000 years ago show humans with animal skins or furs wrapped around their feet. Shoes, in some form or another, have been around for a very long time. The evolution of foot coverings, from the sandal to present-day athletic shoe continues. Platform shoes (also known as Disco Boots) are shoes, boots, or sandals with thick soles at least four inches in height, often made of cork, plastic, rubber, or wood. Wooden-soled platform shoes are technically also known as clogs. They have been worn in various cultures since ancient times for fashion or for added height After their use in Ancient Greece for raising the height of important characters in the Greek theatre and their similar use by high-born prostitutes or courtesans in Venice in the 16th Century, platform shoes are thought to have been worn in Europe in the 18th century to avoid the muck of urban streets. Of the same practical origins are the Japanese geta, a form of traditional Japanese footwear that resembles both clogs and flip-flops There may also be a connection to the buskins of Ancient Rome, which frequently had very thick soles to give added height to the wearer. During the Qing Dynasty, aristocrat Manchu women wore a form of platform shoe similar to 16th century Venetian chopine, a type of women's platform shoe that was popular in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries which were used to protect the shoes and dress from mud and street soil.

  • 2021 Leaders' Guide
    Leaders’ Guide Edited 3/19/2021 Gooood Morning Campers! Camp Buffalo is glad to be back in action. We are offering the high-quality programing you have come to expect from Camp Buffalo with some new twists and a focus on Scout-Led customization of the summer camp experience. Camp Buffalo has an outstanding Shooting Sports Complex, and we staff the ranges with at least two instructors and super-sized time blocks where sensible to ensure excellent instruction. For Aquatics we take advantage of our pool, Liberty Lake, and the Tippecanoe River to offer many options. You will find lots of new elements this year, but the biggest change is Troop Choice. Each day Troops (or Patrols) will get to chose from a list of Troop Choice Activities to make their summer camp experience that they want it to be. Sorry, there are no Zoom or Virtual options in Troop Choice. COVID, yeah, I had to bring it up some time. Sagamore Council has run several large events with no significant issues. We plan to stay the course and keep things safe and keep things fun. Rules will be finalized closer to camp as the health department continues to update their guidance, but safety will be our focus. We anticipate robust safety measures and will require Scouts, Leaders, and Staff to follow them. In general, if you are looking for a camp with masks “recommended” , “preferred”, or “not at all”, Camp Buffalo is not the camp for you this year. In case you have not heard, our friend Billy Rood got his dream job at another BSA camp.
