BREAD PRICES MUST
NOT Be Increased
OFFICIAL WARNING GIVEN TO
BAKERS FOLLOWING ISSUANCE
OF HOME CARDS FOR 1918.
Sufficient Profit Being Made BY Re-
tailers, While Cost of Cereals Has
Not Been Standardization To Be
Investigated by State Officials.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington.-Bread prices must
not be increased. Immediate investi
cation will follow any attempt Of re.
tailers or bakers to jump the cost, in
view Of the new proclamation Of Pres
ident Wilson putting the nation OH a
diet Of victory bread. This warning
was given by the ood Administration,
following the issuance of the new home
card for 1918, presenting the revised
rules for conservation in the homes
The prevailing price Of bread through.
out the country is from cents to 8
cents loaf retail. The Food Admin.
istration has been assured by the
bakers and retailers that they are max.
ing sufficient profit. This is on the
basis Of wheat bread, containing more
wheat than the new victory bread calls
for.
But the Food Administration insists
that there has been no increase in the
cost OF the other cereals recommended
by victory bread to warrant any jump.
ing in the price at this time. With the
transportation situation giving hope
of relief within the next three weeks
and freer movement Of wheat anl
cereals assured, no justification can be
found for raising the price of the in
dividual loaf, the Food Administration
contends. Violations reported to the
State Administrators Of retailers jump
ing the cost of the loaf will be inves
tigated promptly. Claims of retailers
or bakers that they can not produce
the bread at the prevailing prices viii
be checked up by the Federal Admin
istrator's Baking Division, established
to know at all times the producing cost

accept the socialists demands as to
FOOD, communal woman suffrage and
nonmllitarism of war industries, and
thereupon most of the strikers return

only partly allayed, however, and the

iterated their call for a general peace

that at least peace shall be made with
Russia, and If this is not done their
