Switzerland limited themselves TO
controlling the most important bread
stuff of each country.
The Importance and full signifi-
canoe In the increases in prices which
occurred would not be fairly present
ed without reference to the fact that
increased cost of living, and especial
ly the increase in food prices, has for
several years been a question of Sc
rious concern in practically all Of the
European coutries. The upward
movement in prices prior to the war
had in fact been world wise. An in
curry of the British board of trade in
1912 showed increases in food prices
In various countries over prices In
1900, ranging from fifteen per cent.
In Great Britain and France to six
teen per cent in Australia, to thirty
per cent in Germany, to thirty-two
per cent in Belgium and thirty-five
Per cent in Austria. In Canada ano
In the United States the increase
shown was even greater than the
highest OF these figures. Thus. 1T
will be seen that the increased prices
directly due to the war, coming as tho
elimination of a long period of in
creases, are much more serious to the
masses of the population than the
mere figures indicate. II IL obvious,
too, that the increases OF the first
four to six months represented only
the beginning of the wars effect on
the cost of living" f#

LABOR CONFERENCE
CALLED BY GOMPERS
Labor Head to Discuss Strike
With MaChiniStS' Leaders.

Washington July 20.-.Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation Of Labor announced last
night that he had called conference
OF officers of the International Assoc
citation OF Machinists to meet with him
in Washington to consider the strike
ordered at the Remington Arms and
Ammunition compary's plant at
Bridgeport, Conn. In calling the con-
ference Mr.. Gompers said 1t was his
purpose to use every resource at his
command to prevent i general strike.
Striving To Check Strike.
II have called the officers of the
Machinists' international union for q
conference here" he said. I'VE will
do everything possible TO prevent the
strike from spreading to the various
unions of the workers at the Rem
ington factory, which would bring its
machinery at standstill."
Despite reports from Bridgeport
that negotiations had failed to bring
about a settlement of the controversy
between the Remington company and
the labor leaders, officials Of the De-
partmer1t of Labor declared tonight
they believed an agreement would be

strike. Secretary Wilson said, how
ever, that in the event the workers
did walk out in force he imme diately
would appoint counciliators in an at
tempts to bring about d peaceful set
tlement of the trouble.
Accuses Foreign Interests.
Mr.. 'Gompers reiterated the charge
that foreign intel ests had sought to
bring about labor troubles in the
United States to- check the exporta-
ton OF war supplies to Europe. He
declined to give "details, remarking:
t'I do not want to- shut off my line
Of information by making it public
at this time"
II hope for a quick and fair settle
ment of the strike at Bridgeport" he
added, .tbut it must be borne in mind
that for some time the men and
women, the women particularly, have
been working long hours and for
small pay. hope these conditions
will be improved with the adjustment
Of the other troubles there"
Trying To HALT Shipping.
II know that foreign Interests, well
supplied with funds, have sought to
bring on labor troubles to prevent the
shipping Of American products to
Europe" said Mr.. Gompers, Il know
that an effort was made to bring
about a strike of longshoremen, and
that when that failed. an effort was
made to cause a strike OF seamen. !
know these things as well as I know
anything that ! have not personally
seen. There can be no doubt that
this foreign propaganda. with un-
limited means behind it, is seeking to
check the manufacture and exporta-
ton Of supplies for Europe"
Mr.. Gompers said That an effort
would he made to improve conditions
at Bridgeport.
There is great hue and cry
abroad in the land he said, that
when there is general prosperity from
any cause the workman should have
his share of the increased profit
