1t cost Uncle Sam 1924 to re-
move the debris from the white
house grounds after the annual
egg-roling spree OF the children of
Washington. 1t has been eStima-
ted that there were over 10000
children on the grounds at one
time or another, and that they
smashed up about three eggs apiece
during the afternoon, making u
total of about 10000. At the cur
rent price at that time, this meant
an expenditure of about $3.50 for
eggs. Coupled with the cost of
removing the deOriS, the egg-roIl-
ing spree OF the children cost in

THE ENTERPRISE
THURSDAY. JUNE S, 1907.

The strikers concerned In several
labor outbreaks of late for higher
wages have mentioned the increaS-
ell cost Of living as sufficient rea-
son tor their demands. In advanc.
ing wages 10 per cent the Tobacco
Trust frankly admits that the stu
alton justifieS labor in making such
Il demand. This higher cost of
living iS9 one of the Incentives of
the coal strike, and miners main
tain that the 10 per cent advance
of wages III September, 1900, was
or is not now sufficient to Offset the
higher cost OF living. One of them
is thus quoted:
81 was satisfied fifteen years ago,
ten years agO-yeS, almost five
years ago. We were not getting
the pay then we do now, not by
ten per cent, but food was cheaper,
clothes were cheaper, everything
cost less. Now 1 pay :hirty per
cent more for meat, twenty per
cent more tor groceries, more for
