INCREASE COST OF LYING
is SUBJECT OF RESOLUTION
Offered in House Today by Hull of
Tennessee, Providing for lnves-
tigation of Conditions
Payne Bill Blamed.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The increased
cost OF living was the subject OF a
concurrent resolution offered in the
house today by Huh of Tennessee. 1t
provides for a joint committee to in
vestigate conditions and report what
may be effected through legis-
lation. The resolution sets forth that
during the past twelve months there
has been an advance i'm the price of
commodities from eleven to thirty per
cent and during the past thirteen years
more than 56 per cent. which is entire
ly disproportionate to the increase in
wages, making it difficult for millions
of people TO procure food, clothing and
shelter consistent with their needs.
The resolution charges the Payne tar
iff bill with being the large factor in
the rise of prices of necessities through
permitting monopolization of pro-
ducts.
