turned to the speaker, remarking;
IL would like TO meet the man who
can make bread at those prices. He
would get good job
Mr.. Watson replied that the man he
referred to had good job, and, pressed
further by the Mayor, he said he would
be very glad TO have him a. pear before
any committee. He submitted figures
TO support his contention. They pur-
ported to show that 800 twelvc-ounce
loaves could be made from one barrel
OF SO -four at cost of SO 81. At five
cents loaf they would sell at sl7 so,
leaving gross profit OF 81 SO. This
profit represented about 40 per cent, he
said. Figuring overhead expense, such
as labor, delivery, etc, at 80 per cent, it
left a net profit Of 8 per cent on the
barrel.

Mr.. Arthur said emphsticslly that it
was all very well for bakers to say that
they would keep the price at five cents,
but he believed such course would
prove disastrous in quick time. He de-
clared that il was impossible for his
firm to sell at a profit, with the present
price of -four, even at six cents.

he had taken part in a movement to
curtail production of war materials
in the United States by reminding
Austro- Hungarian subjects that they
were violating the criminal code of
their native land by accepting en-
ployment in the munition plants.
The ambassadors frank statement
of his activities, however, was receiv-
ed with undisguised surprise in Of
fetal circles as well as among other
diplomats.
Admittedly the situation was re-
garded as one of the most unusual
and susceptible of, development that
has arisen in diplomatic quarters
since the outbreak of the war.
Secretary Lansing received a re-
quest from Ambassador Dumba for
a conference and made an appoint
ment to receive him tomorrow aft
ernoon. 1t was understood. here that
the ambassador wished to offer ex-
plantations of dispatches which Brit
ish officials found in custody of James
