FOOD CONDITIONS
IN MEXICO AWF Ul.
PRICES ARE HIGH AND MANY
COMMODITIES ARE NOW VERY
SCARCE-SOME ARTICLES SNUG.
GLED FROM THIS COUNTRY.


CHIHUAHUA CITY, Mexico, April
S-Food is so expensive and so
difficult to obtain in Mexico, one of the
most fertile countries in the world,
that the poor are suffering want and
even starvation while the more pros
porous Mexicans find it difficult to pro-
vide sustenance for their families
Prices of food in the Unitde States
even if considered by American house,
wives to be high, are not to be com
pared with those prevailing in Mexico
since the embargo was placed On the
expectation of foodstuffs from the
United States to neutral countries.
An opportunity to compare Mexican
prices for staple articles with those
obtaining in the United States is af-
forded by the following quotations
from merchants here:
Sugar sells for 27 cents a pound
American money, and is very scarce
at this price.
American butter brings so cents
pound, gold, and is the occasion for
celebration in the Mexican homes when
1t can be obtained at this price. But
ter is unknown among the poorer
classes.
Flour sells for Is cents pound and
is growing more expensive as the en-
barge restrictions are made stringent
Little wheat bread is eaten by the
middle and lower classes who use
flour for making tortillas, cake made
OF flour and water.
American brands of coffee sell as
high as Is cents pound and is very
scarce. Mexican green coffee brings
% cents pound and is roasted over
charcoal fires as it is used.
Rice, used principally by the
Chinese and Japanese living in Mexico,
Is worth Il cents pound.
Lard is another article which has
more than doubled in price because of
the American embargo 1t brings IS
cents pound when it can be obtained.
The principle source of supply is the
smuggler
Beans, which are a staple through
out Mexico and are eaten three times
day, sell for 10 cents pound This
is the highest in the history of Mexi-
CO. The red frijole is much preferred
to the American white navy bean.
No ham or bacon can be bought here
at the present time. The last ship
Elent received sold for SO cents a
pound
Chile peppers. grown in all parts OF
Mexico, are the only foodstuff which
has not increased in price 1t sells for
three cents pound.
Small purchases are the rule in
the small Mexican stores and shops.
The centavo, or penny, formerly was
the most used medium of purchase
and exchange. 1t was not uncommon
for children to ask for one cents
worth of sugar, lard or even -four.
Because of the increased cost of such
commodities the five-cent piece has
taekn the place of the cent as the most
used medium

SAYS sl& EMPLOYERS
TRY TO DESTROY LABOR
Samuel Gompers Denounces Them
for Putting Blame Of Any War
Failure on Workers.

Certain employers in the United
States are seeking to destroy labor by
placing upon it blame for any failure
program, Samuel Gompers. president of
the American Federation of Labor. de-
clared yesterday.
They would make the tools of labor
fashion chains to shackle the workers
to their jobs" declared the labor leader.
They would conscript free labor
Mr. Gompers stated he hopes that
nothing will be done to hamper the
constructive work of the organized
effort of free workers who have been
rendering indispensable services and
who will stand faithful until victory
comes. Mr.. Gompers' statement follows:
Labor has given its young men to
the service of the republic. 1t will not
endanger the lives of soldiers and
sailors nor the principles of freedom.
Labor knows that the international
have a counterpart in the normal rela-
tions between man and man. All of
labor's cumulated power will be used
10 maintain those principles in every
relation of life.
The rank and file of Americas s
workers know the value of freedom.
They know that our republic is engaged
in war against an autocracy that has
reared its head to menace world free
dom. Some workers may make mis-
takes-who is infallible: the employers?
But the remedy for those mistakes is
intelligent effort to point out the better
way and TO instill into the minds AMI
consciences of the rank and file of
labor that our government owes justice
to all. Then let every representative
of the government--legisla judicial
and administrative-live up TO that
standard"
