Baker Seitz's Answer to the Labor
Argument.
NONEED FOREDUCE JOURNEYMEN'SPAY
In Order to Meet the Popular De-
mand for Cheaper Loaves.
SOME OLD-TIME CUSTOMS

In conversation with a Star reporter in
reference to the controversy that Is on be-
tween the bakers and the consumers over
the price of bread and the reasons for Its
Its reduction. Mr.. John F.~]Seitz, the vet
eran boss baker, said: There Is not az
much in this question of labor and the
wages Of employees aswould appear at first
glance. 1 see the argument is made against
the proposition to reduce the price Of bread
that the reduction would necessarily come
out of the pockets Of the employees. and
would involve the bos .akers in another
controversy with the labor, unions / am
not at all certain about that.
In the figures gave you in yesterdays
int.I view 1t Is true that account must be
made of the fact that the employees are
paid better wages than they were some
years ago. But you must consider as Off
setting that fact that the bakers today are
expected to turn out more bread in. pro-
portion to their hours Of work than they
Were then. In other words, to make my
meaning plain, it is my candid belief that
for every dollar Of money expended in la
Dor today just as many loaves Of bread are
turned out as was the case when the wages
OF each man pc" re very consider
ably less.
I'm what 1 told you yesterday I allowed
three dollars for labor and other expenses
to each barrel of flour. That Is based on
present wages and reed not be cut down
in the least if the price Of a loaf of bread
were reduced to four cents. 1t would still
leave big margin of profit to bakers and
retailers. The profits they make with bread
at five cents are altogether out of pro-
portion to the profits in any other line of
legitimate business today. If bread is re-
duced in price and the bakers insist on
making the same percentage of clear gain
that they do now, why the difference, OF
course must be made up from the labor
item. But l still maintain that with Hour
at it's present price bread can be sold at
four cents a loaf without cutting down
wages, and yet leave margin of profit to
bakers and grocerS with which any bus
mess man might be more than satisfied In
these hard times"
Bakers Prices in Olden Times.
Mr.. l.. B. Brock, in q communication to
The Star, says:
Bakers one hund1 ed years ago were saved
the arduous labor Of setting price upon
boss bakers to m eet when flour went up rs
cents barrel and advance the prioe of
bread 1 cent loaf. The town council was
kind enough to relieve them of that trou-
BILE. In the advertising columns of old CO.
lonial newspapers will be found, among
other things quaint and curious. the price
and weight of bread, published at intervals
by the city officers, as the price Of wheat
varied For instance, in a copy of the Mas
sachusetts Gazette, in the year 1865, Is the
following typical advertisement:

drying Of the Bisket
ALL BAKERS TAKE NOTICE.
Jonathan Seton,
City Treasurer.
This was published on the Goth Of June.
1865. On the 18th of August following
wheat went up to 4 shillipgs 10 pence a
bushel. A new asSize was published, and
it is interesting to compare the schedule
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1896-01-17

II VIII De notlced tnat the pr1ce or bread
did not 1uctuate. But as wheat went up
or down the consumer received more or
less bread for his money. The difference
of fourpence buskel in the price of wheat
made difference of three ounces in the
weight CT a fourpenny brown loaf, land of
two ounces five drains in the size of four
penny white loaf. The sensitive "bisket
of a copper price" shrank six drains at a
fourpence rise in the price of wheat.
The bakers in those days must have ap-
preciated the force Of that "consoling
phrase that they also serve who only
stand and weigh it, Apparently life had
little else for them to do, with a frequently
changing scale of weights 80 elaborate,
and town couEcil always admonishing
them to make allowance for the drying
of the bisket."
The connection between loaf of bread
and bushel of wheat at SO many shill-
ings and pence is too much for the modern
mind. 1t is rejoiced to find an assize that
uses the familiar terms of dollars and bar
rels, so that 1t may revel in comparisons
In the News Letter of November 4, 1852.
three years prior to those quoted, John
Gibbons, city treasurer of Boston, publishes
an assize of bread, stating that 1.-The price
I'D. loaf of white bread must weigh / Id.
ID or. dwt.; the 31a loaf must weigh ii
o. 2 dwt."
Thus, it is easily seen that our forefath-
ers got nearly a pound Of white bread for
less than four renee, even with flour at
81 a barrel. So much for vigilant rnu-
nicipality to regulate the price of bread.
Taken In connection with this, however,
must be the advertisement of two Journey
men bakers at SIS month, from a Salem
paper.
The assize of bread is found in Savannah
and Charleston and Virginia papers also,
showing that the custom of regulating the
price, or, rather. the weight, Of a loaf of
bread by a fixed proportion to the varying
price of wheat was universal In the colo
MES. The New England taste for rye and
m ha oil 4
and apparently the mathematical calcula-
lions of the bakers more various. They
must not vary the proportions of rye meal
to white flour, and the elusive drains and
pennyweights shift about with every
change in the wheat market.
Customs have changed much since the
''assize of bread" appeared regularly In the
scanty columns Of the few newspapers
printed before the revolution, in some in
stances, no doubt, for the better, but a
backward glance at the great problem of
daily bread shows an amount of sense con-
nected with 1t in the old Tins that has
been lost in the shuttle somewhere since.
