NO MORE BREAD
At GROCERY

Can you flag bread wagon? II
you are unable to do this you will
have to call for a bread delivery
from the bakery after today. All
grOcers who are members Of the
Spokane Grocers' association will
quit handling bakery products after
today, until they are enabled to OBJ
tain the same at lower wholesale
price.
The majority of the bakeries lost
all of the associated grocerymen's
custom this morning. Some stores
have not yet observed this decision
and continue selling bakery produce
as before.
The grocers claim that since May
6, when the price Of bread was
raised from 1-3 to 4 cents whole
sale to the grocer, the price has not
been advanced in the least to the
consumer ard very little II any re-
bate has been allowed the grocer
by the master bakers. The decision
reached last night Is an outgrowth
OF refusal OF the master bakers
to. deliver bread at compromised
wholesale price. Grocerymen de-
cl&red that they could not afford
10 deal in bread at 25 per cent
margin.
ID. Alderman, OF the Model bak-
cry, and secretary Of the Master
boxers of this city, stated this
morning that the bakers had Offer
ed to make 2-pound loaf for tn
cents Wholesale, to sell to the con-
sumner for 10 cents, but the grocers
would not entertain the idea. This,
he explained, would have been a
benefit to each of them and would
In no way Inconvenience the con-
sumner.
The raise that the Spokane
bakers made on May 6 is the first
that has been made for over 10
years. 1t was absolutely necessary,
Mr.. Alderman declared, on account
of advances in prices of labor and
material.
The bakers say they will supply
grocers with bread at cents per
loaf or retail It cents to private
customers. They figure that they
can easily afford to put on wagons
for private trade at cents loaf.

ASKS BOND RELEASED

Contractor H. l.. Lillienthal has
tired of paving high rate of inter-
est on $4,000 bond filed with the
city for his contract to grade Ber-
nard st. between Summit and Four
teenth avs and has arranged to
have the council release him. He
secured the contract months ago.
Some property owners entered OBJ
jections with the result that the
council ordered the board of public
works to cancel the contract. But
this, according to Commissioner
ONO, was not the proper procedure,
SO he has prepared the assessment
roll, which will be submitted to the
council for confirmation tonight. II
the confirmation Is refused, which
will probably result on account of
the objection, the the contractor is
released and may draw down his
bond.
