Department of Labor Holds
that Food Stuffs and Cloth
ing are TO High.
Workingmen Can Save No
Money So Long as Present
High Prices Prevail.

Washington d. c., July 1s.-Accord-
ing to a bulletin issued by the Bureau
Of Labor. prices Of clothing. fuel and
practically all food products are con-
tinually increasing. In the early '90s
prices were very high. but in the last
four years they have been steadily in
creasing until now they are relatively
higher than in 1892. just before the
memorable financial and commercial
depression. The period Of lowest prices
was from 1894 to 1897 In table of
comparison in which the average price
for the years 1890 to 1899 is taken as
a base, sixteen articles of farm pro-
duction. including sheep. cattle. hay,
hogs, hides and grains, are enumerated.
All except flaxseed have Increased over
the average price from 1890 to 1899.
Seventy articles under the head of
cloth and clothing show. that the aver
age price for 1904 was s.s-y per cent
higher than the average from 1890 to
1899. The table on fuel and lighting
places the average 1904 price at s2.6
per cent. higher than the 1890 to 1899
price. @s.:==zs '5 &

His Methods Are Driving Bus

Out of Battle Greek.
Industries Being Completely
Destroyed as a Result Of
His Foolish Policy.

Battle Greek, Mich. July 1S.-This
tity. while small, is receiving an un-
bnviable reputation all over the coun-
try as a place where Chinese labor
conditions obtain. One c. w. Post, a
pew millionaire upstart, manufactures
~Postum cereals In Battle Creek, COM
pels his employees to work IL hours a
Day at beggardly wages and spends
thousands of dollars in attacking trade
unions through advertisements in the
haily newspapers because they resent
his brutal exploitation of labor. Post
bullied some of the business element
and their wageslaves to join his Cit
liens Alliance in Battle Creek and
posed as the boss Of the town. The
result was that many working people
bought their goods In nearby places
or from mail order houses. A financial
depression naturally resulted, and now
4 change is coming. The Merchants
Protective League has been formed by
Independent business men, and the lat
ter held a meeting and decided that If
Post makes any more attacks upon
Unions through advertisements they
will call a mass meeting of citizens and
repudiate the .blatherskite. The league
has issued an address in which 1t Is
stated that as a result Of Posts Cit
liens Alliance methods working peo-
pie have left the city in droves.
hundreds of houses are empty, the
largest grocery store has been bank
rupted and two large furnishing stores,
shoe store, an art store and several
other business concerns are leaving
the city. Many of the merchants are
now openly handling union-made
goods. which they were prohibited
