WASHINGTON. Aug ga new

trial situation in the United States

bureau of the census The inquiry
will be TO determine the cost of cart
age in American cities and is de
clared by experts 10 be OF the ut
most importance in its relation TO the
high cost Of living and the wages of
labor.
Comptroller Of the Treasury War
wick has just handed down a de-
cision authorizing the expense in
volved in making the inquiry and
work viii start as soon as Sec'y OF
Comerce Redheld gives formal au
thorizatiOn. This is expected inn
mediately upon Mr.. Redfeld's re-
turn from his vacation.
Experts Of the census bureau be-
live that the extreme retail prices
of commodities in common use are
due largely to the high cost of city
carriage. The city delivery system
is largely believed TO be TO blame
for the high cost of living. The ex-
perts estimate that a greater per
centage of the cost of goods is
chargeable 10 city carriage than to
railroad freight rates. The investi-
cation will go thoroughly into all
phases Of the problem.
