REAL COST OF LIVING
SUMMED UP BY WRIGHT
Labor Commissioner to Issue Re-
port on II Soon.

The cost of living will be considered
at length in an official special report
which Labor Commissioner Carroll d.
Wright expects to Issue October &c. The
relation between wages paid and prices
exacted for the necessaries OF life will
be shown by statistics, secured after
months of systematic inquiry through
out the country.
In preparing the report information
was received from $4,000 families. and
averages taken. so that il Is believed the
figures will represent nearly the per
capita cost for the entire country. Re
tail prices on all staple articles Of food
viii be given from 1890 until the pres
ent year. covering the cost in the East
and West. North and South. The varia-
lions in the cost OF clothing will be
treated IN the same manner.
Mr.. Wright will not discuss the re-
suits OF his deductions. beyond saying
that from 1890 to 1900 the trend of food
prices, as well as wages. had been
downward, and since that time both had
been soaring He made 1t plain. how
ever. that one does not always rule the
other. Certain years showed low wages
and high prices for subsistence. while
other years showed the reverse. The
report is awaited with much interest.
because Of the fact that no figures OF
this character have been compiled by
the bureau since 1892.

SUPERVISORS TIRED
WORKING WITHOUT PAY
Commissioners Asked to
Urge Compensation.
WANT $40 EACH PER MEETING
Think District Is Not Justified in
Accepting Their Services Free
of Charge.

The Commissioners today received
from DR.. ]. B. @. Custis. president of the
Board of Medical Supervisors of the Dis
trict of Columbia, estimates to cover the
expenses of shat body for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1905. Heretofore there
Congress has never made an appropria-
ton to carry on the work of the Board
OF Medical Supervisors. For the next
year, however, a request is made for
$1,000, to be distributed at the rate of
$40 per member per meeting. In sup
port of the claim for compensation, the
board says:
After careful consideration Of The
work accomplished by the medical ex-
aiming boards of the District of Co
lumbit, the great benefit which has &C
crued to the District by the elevation of
the standard of medical education, and
of the qualifications of the practition-
ers of the District. the board does not
think that the examiners should be
asked to serve longer without adequate
compensation. There is no other body
Of men working under law which ex-
acts SO much without some adequate re-
turn.
I'VE, therefore, respectfully ask that
the Commissioners embody in their esti-
mates for the coming year the sum of
$500, or as much thereof as shall be
required. for compensation for the mem
bers OF the various examining boards
of the District, and OF the Board OF
Medical Supervisors who should receive
compensation at the rate Of $40 per
meeting actually attended. provided that
the members OF the several boards of
medical examiners shall receive compen-
sation for attendance only upon such
meetings as shall be called by order OF
the Board OF Medical Supervisors; and
that the official meeting OF the said
Board of Medical Supervisors shall not
exceed fifteen IN any one year.
I'VE believe that the time has come,
In the history OF the District, when IL
is not justified in receiving the services
which It does from the members OF the
several boards without compensation. 4"
