A was authoritatively learned today that
uooyer very shortly will take summary

national organization OF the baking trade
have been negotiating. They have been un-
able TO reach any agreement. Bakers have
steadfastly maintained that they cannot

The food administration has as per-
ss,ently declared that present bread prices
are exorbltant.
Hoover has not forgotten the bread stua-

made thorough study of the recent report
made by the Federal Trade Commission and
was putting together all of the uata OBJ

expected here that within few days, by
