labor Unionists Claim Employers
Through Tariff and Monopoly Are
Kesponsible-Statistics Given.

Chicago.-LabOr union experts have
issued a report for the guidance of
wage earners who are demanding in
creased pay to meet the advanced cost
OF hvlng. Their summary shows the
cost OF accessories has advanced from
81 lH2 to AZ per cent in most of the
FOOD stuffs that goes to furnish the
workers table.
There has not been a comparative
increase in the higher-priced edibles
and the burden has not fallen SO heav.
ny on those who can afford the best
food supplies.
In the opinion of the labor actuaries
inns is because the employers, through
the tariff and monopoly, control prices
at will and send up those affecting or
ganized workers higher proportion
ately than other prices in order to
ovrcome the advances the workers
gain through strikes and arbitration.
Sixty-six staples are higher this
month than they were a month ago.
All foodstuffs needed to sustain manual
toilers are higher now than they have
been at any time since 1907.
Upward Trend of Prices.
Their report shows the following
comparative cost for 100 principal ar
ticles of diet, including wheat, bacon,
lard, oats, coffee, sugar, beans, beef,
mutton, butter, milk and barley: 1898,
$S.Ol; 1897, $6.11; 1898, $6.57; 1898,
1921; 1000, $7.ss; 1905, $500; 1906,
$S.4l; 1907, $500; 1908, $s.O1; 1909,
$3.50.
Bakers intend to advance the cost
OF bread to Z cents a loaf. This will
make bread that is made from Ameri.
wheat cost five times as much as
bread made from the same wheat sold
London, where 10 cents buys a four
pound loaf. Eggs have been selling
at 40 cents a dozen. Other. things that
have long been regarded as neces-
saries, because of prohibitive prices,
are now put on the luxury list.
At the next session of congress the
unions will present the matter to the
national legislature to get some action
IN the tariff.

Councilman Rushe placed i'm nomination

The motion was seconded by Councilman
Fainter. Councilman Shepherd asked
that the election OF officers be postponed
until the next meeting. and the motion
prevailed.
Mayor Magruder then had the clerk
read his message to the council. The
immediate improvements of the streets
ought. in his judgment, to be given earn
est consideration, and, with the streets
the sidewalks were also to be considered.
He thought the water and sewerage sys-

ice in Hyattsviile was inadequate. and

STRAIN ON COURTS COURTESY
ATTORNEYS TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF LIBERALITY.
Attorney General Wickersham Also
Upsets Precedent by Appearing
in a Light Drab Suit.

Chief Justice Fuller of the Supreme
Court was yesterday compelled to submit
to a severe strain upon his courtesy. Or
dinarily the court does not on Mondays
receive applications for admission to the
bar until after the delivery of opinions;
but, appreciating the fact that the hand
ing down of the courts decisions yester-
day would consume about two hours of
time, and knowing that a number of
senator's were waiting in order to move
the admission of clients. while they felt
that they should be in their seats in the
Senate, the Chief Justice announced that
the court would SO far depart from its
custom as TO permit senators 10 present
their motions in advance of the delivery
Of opinions.
The Chief Justices announcement was
not generally understood. and other at
torneys than the senator's undertook to
take advantage of the courts liberality.
Included in the list were Representative
Burton Harrison of New York and Mrs
Belva A. Lockwood. who was once a cam
didate for the presidency The court
readily granted a special dispensation in
Mr. Harrison's behalf, but Mrs. Lock
wood was not so fortunate. She arose
to introduce another woman. who also
desired to become a member of the Su-
preme Court bar. BY the time Mrs.
Lockwood had addressed the court the
patience of the Chief Justice had become
quite sorely taxed. and he declined to
admit her friend a member. Later
in the day. however. she admitted
with a number of other applicants. who
like her, had been compelled to wait
