the cost OF bread to the consumer
A doSen leading bakers, who make
up the war emergency council OF the
National Association OF Master
Bakers, attended conferences today In
the Lafayette Hotel. Robert L. Corby
and Charles I. Corby, OF this city,

Discussion centered about produe-

nxed price OF wheat and the scale OF
profits adopted by -four manufac-
tursrs also demanded attention.
Objection to a standardized loaf
was voiced by speakers who declared
the price OF bread Is governed by the
cost OF materials and this cost varies
from time to time.
Denial was made by Herbert c.
Hoover today that he had suggested
an Scent loaf Of bread containing
fourteen ounces. Mr.. Hoover con-
tented himself with saying that he
hoped for cheaper retail prices as q
result OF cooperation between the
bakers.
