BREAD TO
Be SOLD IN BOISE
RESULT AGREEMENT
Federal Food Administrator
Bicknell Makes 1O-Cent
Loaf Again Possible Re
duction of Three Cents.

Ten cent bread long hoped for in
Boise will become a reality within
few days due to the efforts Of r. F.
Bicknell, Idaho's food chief
Mr.. Bicknell first persuaded the
bakers Of Boise to deliver a sixteen
ounce loaf at nine cents to the dealers
and Monday afternoon at a meeting of
more than SO retail and wholesale
grocers Of Boise and adjoining towns
held at the Boise Commercial club OBJ
tanned their unanimous consent to
handle the bread for one cent, deliver
sumner. for 10 cents. The same sized
loaf heretofore cost the consumer 10
cents or two loaves for rs cents.
To do justice to the public spirit
and patriotism of the Boise bakers
1t may be said that their action was
independent of the action of the war
emergency council of the baking in
dustry in session at Washington that
advised bakers throughout the United
States "to make immediate reduction
in price to the retailer wherever this
is possible"
All of the grocers agreed that the
only way in which some of Mr.. Bick-
nelPs aims could be accomplished was
through an educational campaign to
the consumers and Mr.. Bicknell
promptly offered the aid of his pub
licity department to wage that cam
paign:.
1t is likely that by tomorrow the
grocers will have taken some addi-
tional action along the plans being
fathered by the United States food
administration.
Idaho's GOOD administrator was de-
lighted Tuesday in speaking about the
action reducing the price of bread and
with becoming modesty gave all of the
credit for the reduction in the price ito
the public spirit and patriotism of the
bakers and dealers"

break seemed inevitable, Commissioner
Mahany dictated the final draft of an
agreement which he submitted to both
sides with an announcement that the
entire force of the federal government
would be brought to bear on either or
both sides If necessary to insure the
adoption of the proposal.
The new contract establishes a $50
minimum wage in the smaller cities

cities; increases the salary of bureau
operators 80 week above present
contract scale, and sending operators
