The ccsI OF LIVING.

The November isBue OF the Bulle.
tin Of the national bureau OF labor
gives a brief summary of al investiga-
tion into the cost Of living OF 1867
workingmen's families. II covered the
retail prices OF the principal staple
articles OF food The families lived In
t~h.rt..three states, embraced in five
groups; i,4l5 being in the north cen
trial. 2l9 in the south Atlantic. i22 in
the south central, and 80 in the west
ern. Thirty articles Of food were test.
iea according TO the average consump-
ton Iii families whose income Ii not
more than $1.200 per year. The aver
age income OF the families In question
was sS27.I9 Their average annual ex.
penditure for all purposes was $76S.5f,
OF which $32690 was for food. The
average number Of persons In each
family was 5.31, and the average cost
OF food WAS ssI70 per capita, or about
II cents per day for all ages.
Prices Of separate. articles OF food
are not given, but the relative retail
wice Is furnished. Thus, II the aver
49, food cost for the thirteen years
Is represented by the number Of 100,
that OF the year 1890 would be 1924.
that of 1896 would be 95.5, and that Of
1909 1909. II appears that the price
Of food has followed an undulatory
movement during the period under
consideration. the two highest points
having been 1893 and 1902, and the
lowest 1896. This corresponds with
the ups and downs of trade during the
same period. The price OF food. &C
cording 10 the statistics presented in
the Bulletin, has varied with the wave
line Of prosperity. That wave line It
self has been caused by the law 81
supply and demand.
One conclusion reached by the labor
bureau seems to BIO inconsistent Will
the others. The price OF food In thu
western group Of states In 1902 wal
lower by I per cent than the average
OF the 1--WE groups, but In 1890. 1s9l
and 1892 II VAS about s per cent high
or than the average, Not only 30. bu
the price In the western group was
to 4 per cent higher I'M thu early nine
tics than IL was In 1892. That foot
prices should be lower Iii the Neste.l
group than In other sections IL no
surprising. since the bulk Of the cele
ais ami meats consumed III the coun
try are produced there. but how ar
we To account for the d~iscrepancle
in the western group at differen
times a fact Of considerable
Importance Ii that the Q,
treme range OF Wholesale price
of food during the thirteen years ha
been more than twice AZ great q
that of retail prices, being ~ per cen
in the former and only III per cent |
the latter. This Indicates that GU
tom has n strong influence In retn
trade.

LoNpoN's UNEMPLOYED.
Startling increase Of the Great Army
Of the Unfortunate.

LONDON. Dec. although every.
one in the great English metropolis
appears to be preparing for the Christ
mas festivities just now, with the
shops doing q big business and every.
IN apparently spending money free
III, those who see under the surface
.cf things detect unmistakable eyi.
dences of the approach Of hard times,
Though London always has a standing
army OF unemployed It Is quite evident
Of late that its ranks are being re-
cruited at a startling rate.
The fact that ii has been deemed
able to resuscitate the old mansion
house committee on the unemployed
shows which way the wind Is blowing.
Those interested in the matter ex
press the hope that the committee will
change its plan Of procedure 80 that
substantial and 'Ineicial results may
be accomplished. The committee was
formed a number Of years ago just
after the west end had been t~erroriz-
ed by the window smashing by a crowd
of hungry men marching in riotcus
procession from a meeting In Trafal-
gar square. The alarm created by
this demonstration opened the pockets
of the millionaires Of Mayfair and
Belgravia, and money flowed freely
into the committees treasury. 1t was
distributed, however, in so foolish and
indiscriminate manner that, in the
opinion of many expert workers among
the poor. it did more harm than good.
It undoubtedly attracted to London a
whole army OF loafers from the pro
Ivinces and the result was that the
worthy unemployed were cheated out
of their share OF the relief funds. A
novel plan for the relief Of the rapidly
increasing number Of unemployed has
been proposed and is Just now the sub
Iject Of much discussion. This is that
the government acquire the large
areas Of derelict lands In Essex anil
Suffolk and give profitable and health
full employment to many thousands Of
men In the work o. a~foresting the

POLICE STOP
A PRIZE FIGHT

Sergeant William Brophy and a posse
of officers interrupted a prearranged fist
fight near Harbor View last night. The
contestants had Just entered on the sec
ond round when the police swarmed upon
them and twelve arrests were made
About sixty spectators made their escape
from the scene of the battle
For some time past Antoine Bacigalupi
and Richard Miller have been bitter enc
mics and it was agreed that they should
settle their differences with bare fists last
evening When the news was circulated
several local sports took the affair in hand
and invitations were sent by them to their
friends to witness the fstic encounter.
About eighty men congregated in an en-
closure near Harbor View and bOlted the
doors after them. They had witnessed
the first round, which was fought with
thorough viciousness, and The second had
commenced when the police came.
Sergeant Brophy learned of the prepar-
ations for the fight in the afternoon and
detailed Patrolmen Thomas O'Connell,
