WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-The

loaf has begun thruout the nation.
Organized labor, the American
Home Economies association and
other organizations today served
notice on Herbert Hoover that
cheaper bread is possible, vital
and must be accomplished.
The message was delivered thru
j. w. Sullivan of the American
Federation of Labor.
The one cent difference be-
tween and cent loaf looms
disproportionately large on the
poor man." it said. mo sacrifices
made by any one in this war can
equal those made by the poor man.
High prices of bread-his priuci-

becomes terrific war tax on the
