SWEENEY AGAIN
RAPS PROPOSED
BREAD INCREASE
Declares Bakers Are Receiving
More Profit Now Than When
Flour Was Cheaper

James Sweeney, the State chief of
standards and the man who has super
vision over weights and measures. to-
day gave the bakers another blast for
increasing the, price of bread. A week
ago Mr.. Sweeney charged that bakers
had cut down the size and increased
the price of the loaf and to-day he
charges that bakers are receiving more
profit with flour at its present prices
than they should have when the head
of a family, as he says lis at his wits
end to solve the problem as to how
he is going to be able to maintain his
family on his earnings"
The chief declared that the advance
in the price of bread was unwarranted
and asserted that he proposed to go
into the next legislature and ask the
enactment of law fixing the size of
the loaf. Under the 6 ounce loaf for
five cents plan bakers got fair profit
The chief says they get too much un-
der the eleven ounce six cent plan.
Mr.. Sweeney says:
The newspapers of Thursday, De-
cember IA, contained a statement from
Mr. Miller who admits his business is
selling flour to bakers. He attempts
the defense of the recommendation
of the Bakers Association in advanc-
ing the cost of bread to six cents a
loaf. According to his statements, the
supposition would be that this ad-
vance to six cents should be on the
eleven ounce loaf now selling for five
cents. MIR. Miller says that flour has
advanced at different periods and that
on December 8. 1916, flour sold for
1885 a barrel. Flour used by bakers

majority of the Democrats who
will sit in the next legislature are in
favor of hoeing their party's own row

can from the dissensions among Re-

twenty men came here for the confer
ence and dinner arranged by the
Dem ocratic state leaders, State Chair
man Joseph Il. Guffey is the host at

The Democrats seemed to be very
keenly interested in the Republican
contest and raped both sides to that
family quarrel. They were wary about
expressing an opinion on local option,
amendments to the compensation act
the assistance clause and other mat
ters.
Names of Representatives John NJ

point of service; G. B. Drake, Greene

METAL ASH CANS

Metal covered ash cans are essential

Any receptacle, in fair condition
holding from one to two bushels, such
as galvanized wash tubs, grape buck

cans will serve the purpose.
Commissioner Bowman explained
this phase of the ash collection prob

at leading stores handling the proper
