Washington, March 30.-Aliens
seeking American citizenship will be
given favored treatment if it becomes
necessary to put restrictions on for
eigners. The State department in
formed the labor department today
that in such contingency declara-
tions of intention to become citizens
will "be given due consideration"
The governments attitude is un-
derstood to be that if the United States

the United States, even army and navy

FOOD BILL GOES HIGHER.
AVERAGE FOR FAMILY NOW
$425.54 YEARLY.
Advance in Pay for Labor Has Been
Outstrippcd by Rise in Prices.

Washington, March 29.-The an
nual food bill of the average family
has grown from $339.SO in 1913 to
$425.54 at present, the department
of labor announced today in a review
Of food prices. In ten years the de-
partment's experts estimate the ad-
vance in the cost of food has so far
outstripped wage increases that the
workman who drew SO a day in 1907
now finds himself just 50 cents a day
worse off.
The heaviest increase in food prices
during the last four years is shown
in potatoes. the cost of which has
risen from $3.50 to $44.69. Other
large increases ar, in eggs, from
$3S;O1 to $4307; flour, S15.12 to
$25.40; butter, $45.72 to $54.7S. OF
the whole list of foods only s.rloin
and round steak are cheaper than five
years ago.
In the period from January Is to
February Is food prices took a 4 per
| cent. jump. Onions led with a II per
cent. increase. Potatoes went UP 80
per cent. Eggs alone decreased in
price.
It Is estimated that il a dollars
worth of food bought in 1907 weigh
ed ten pounds it would weigh today a
trifle more than seven pounds.
Gold storage. rebilling, reshipping
and withholding of commodities from
market are suspected to contribute
to the present abnormal rise in the
prices of food" says the depart
ment's statement. Whether some
persons have conspired to engross the
markets the department of labor can
not state. But the reports of the
bureau Of labor statistics seem to
lend some color to such an opinion
viewed in the light of conditions re-
vealed by a comparison of figures
through a range Of years."
