COST OF LIVING IN
 LONDON ADVANCES
Prices of Meat Reaches Point Higher
 Than Any Time in Twenty 
 five Years

(corresponoence of the Associated Press,
 London, April s0.--The cost of liv- ing continues to advance slowly in London. Prices of meat during the last week of March reached point higher than at any time in twenty five years. The wholesale prices Of all grades of beef, mutton, pork, and veal showed oh the quotation board a rangesof one to fifteen per cent above the high water mark Of als records since 1890. Not a butcher in Lon don is making a profit today" de- clares one of the trade journals.
 In other lines the increases have generally been more moderate. Glass ware of all kinds has gone up ten per cent. Window glass, which was made almost exclusively in Belgium, has ad- vanced hundred per cent. Linen sheeting is ten per cent. dearer, and shoes are about fifteen per cent more expensive. Butter and cheese show a twenty five per cent; poultry twenty per cent
 Gas and electricity have gone up about ten per cent, and all the Lon- don laundries will add ten per cent. to the totaY amount of each cus- toner's bill after April I9. This is necessary, they assert because of in- creased prices of coal (100 per cent.), soap GAO per cent.), and labor (50 per cent.).

CHAMBER ID VOTE ON
 NATIONAL QUESTION l Referendum on Merchant MaIInf
 Submitted By National Body.

The New Britain Chamber of Com
 merce has been asked ovote on |.
 referendum submitted by the Chanl-.
 Der of Commerce of the United States
 to upwards of six hundred chambers
 of commerce and national trade bodies
 in the country in regard tQ the. sup-
 building of "a permanent American
 merchant marine. The chamber is
 asked to indicate which of four meth
 ods of government assistance4is pre-
 ferred and is also asked to favor or
 oppose the recommendation by the
 National chamber special commit
 tee on merchant marine. @sp
 If at the expiration of forty-five
 days-June 22-one-third of the vot-
 ing strength of the National chanlbsr
 has been recorded and two-thirds of the vote thus cast represent at least twenty states, the questions Will pa recorded as having passed one way or the other and the chamber will in dorse accordingly.
 1 Possibly no question which the Chamber of Commerce of the United States has submitted to it's members ] has been more widely discussed. As ?
 result of the European war and the 1 accompanying disturbance of ordinary ! means for ocean transportation, tn { l executive committee of the board I !. directors late last summer authorized i President Fahey to appoint special committee to consider means for up 1 building a permanent American mer- chant marine. es4x These referendums are issued Wher- ever a subject arises upon which the National chamber desires the sents- ment of the business men of ne coun- try. Eight referendums have thus ! far been issued. The last one was 1 a year ago on trust Legislation rela- 1 tive to proposals for Legislation regu- lating business practice. A perfna. nent tariff commission, a national
