BREAD TRUST employees
JOIN in MAYORS FIGHT

Even the journeymen bakers
employed by alleged trust bak-
cries" in Tacoma are with Mayor
Fawcett in his crusade to break
the high bread prices.
A committee of bakers appear
ed before the mayor in his city
hall office Monday morning and
commended him for his fight
against their employers.
I'VE are all going to quit our
jobs and start a cooperative bak-
cry, as a result of the increase in
bread prices" said the leader of
the union men. But you came
in with your fight against the
trust and saved us the trouble,
mayor. You've got the bosses on
the run. They are losing bust
ness every day, simply because of
the number of women who are
baking their own bread"
The 15-cent loaves of bread
we're the cause of the Journey
men bakers threat to start a
cooperative union bakery.
The trust bakers can turn out
15-cent loaves as easily as they
can 10-cent loaves, but it doesn't
take as many employees to do the
days work. AS a result, II 15-
cent loaves had become a perma-
nent fixture, 1t would have meant
that one-third of the union en-
ployes would have lost their Jobs,

Ruth Law Wins
CarlstrOm'S
Laurels
Iupited Press Lcnsed wire.D


NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Ruth
Law, smiling little American,
took her place as the premier
woman aviator of the world to-
day when she equalled the Ameri-
can record for cross-country fly
ing.
She landed at Governor
Island at at 9:3S a. m, having
flown $40 miles from Chicago in
an old style aeroplane.
Miss Law made but two stops,
the first at Hornell, N. Y, and
the second at Binghamton, where
she spent the night. She was
forced to alight because she had
run out of gasoline.
Outdoes CarlstrOn.
Fully exposed to the wind and
cold owing to the fact that the
type of machine she drove forced
her to sit out in front of her mo-
tor without any shield for protec-
ton, the plucky young woman
outstripped Victor Carls trom's rec
ord for continuous cross-country
flight made on Nov. in the very
newest type of machine and then
continued her journey and flew
further than has any woman be-
fore in history.
Practically Nine Hours.
Her flying time for the entire
trip was eight hours and SO min
utes.
Miss Laws record stands as the
second longest flight that has ever
been made. Her flight of $50
miles is exceeded only by that of
Sub-Lieut. Marchal of the French
army, who flew from Nancy to
Chelm, Poland, in juno of this
year, a distance of S12.5 miles.
Wins Mans Praises.
Immediately Miss Law was lift
ed from her machine it was wheel
ed away to stand beside another
aeroplane. This machine, strange
ly enough, was the giant tractor in
which Victor Carlstrom made his
flight from Chicago to New York
and whose record of 452 miles for
continuous flight Miss Law sur
passed.
Carlstrom still is in New York
and warmly commended the wom-
an aviator. He characterized ner
flight as the greatest aviation feat
of the year.

On the heels of a revolver bat

He boldly pushed sale button

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.
The very first thing Miss
Ruth Law asked for today
when she finished the record
breaking aeroplane flight On
Governors island was face
powder.
Her nose was shiny.
Sitting in an automobile and
rosy-cheeked from contact with
the frigid air of the upper re-
|gions, swatched in sheepskin and
lOiled garments, she then graphi-
cally described her thrilling voy-
|age.
"l'm awfully we'll pleased that
I've been able to beat the Ameri-
can record" Miss Law began.
But l could have done better. l
believe l could have made the
way through If things had turned

And I'm going to try it again.
Wanted Battleplane

the Curtiss aeroplane factory and
tried to buy a big battle-plane,
one of the most powerful l could
get. But they wouldn't let me
have 1t.
"They were afraid that a wom-
an could not handle the powerful
machinery and manipulate their
big machine in that long a trip.
when they kept on putting me
off, just decided to hop into
that little machine and make one
great effort"
The sturdy old fashioned ma
chine with which Miss Law shat
tered Calrstrom's record was not
half as large as the Curtiss mon
ster that Carlstrom had left on
the aviation field.
Map ON Her Sleeve
Speaking of her flight from
Binghamton to Governors island,
Miss Law said It was about as
risky an undertaking as she had
ever faced.

other data for the records of the
Aero club. ''t''
Miss Law declared she had alb
solutely no trouble with her ma
chine. 1t behaved nicely all the
way for her.
Officials of the Aero Club of
America, which sanctioned the
flight, were enthusiastic over
Miss Laws flight. She paid all
the expenses of the flight, but
asked an official sanction for the
trip so 1t might be made a record.
Miss Laws feat was accom-
plfshed on the anniversary of the
day she received her pilots IL
cense. Nov. 20, 1912.
This is the first distance flight
she ever attempted, but she has

Mayor Fawcett:

Mayor EaWcett:
Permit The Times to suggest that you go
step further in this business Of food costs.
You already have done fine piece of work
in agitating the bread question. You have
placed the bakers on the defensive Some of
them are cutting their prices and they all are
doing lot of explaining.
You have started an immense number of
women to baking their own bread, which will
be blessing both from the standpoint of econ
omy and of nutriment.
What The Times proposes now is that you
gather the best expert information there is
available on food economy TODAY in TACO
MA.
The most effective way to go about it, in
our opinion would be to appoint committee
of, say, seven, made up something like this:
chairman, one authority on groceries and gro
Gerry prices, one well Informed man on fish and
meats, one on fruits and vegetables, one do
