Prices of Food and Wages.

In bulletin issued by the bureau
of labor the statement is made that
the cost of living is higher than at
any time since 1890. when the bureau
first began to keep the record of re-
tail prices of food. To Offset this,
the bureau in a seperate investigation
declares wages were higher during
1905, than for 1904 by 1.G per cent
and this little more than offsets the
increased cost Of food. 1t also shows
that in the industries 1t investigated
more men are employed.

President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor has
put Uncle Joe Cannon on his black
list, but the fact does not seem to

Contrary to showing any anxiety, Mr..
Cannon intends to point out what he
considers the fallaces of Gompers'
attitude toward himself and other
Republicans who have incurred the
animosity of the federation.
The speaker is on the federation's

tracts.
