BAKERS COMPLAIN
OF MONEY LOSSES
SAY 1T is QUITE IMPOSSIBLE
TO DO BUSINESS ON THE
PRESENT BASIS
COSTS HIGHER THAN RECEIPTS
AND MANY BAKERIES MUST
REDUCE FORCES .,

Bakers of bread are constantly COM
planning about the loss in their business.
Costs, under the present system, are
higher, they allege, than receipts and it
is plain no business can stand such a
strain for any length of time. Cir
cumstances have compelled number of
bakeries, chiefly in the large cities, to
reduce the number of workmen. They
say the public demands cheaper bread
and they cannot furnish it, because
prices are constantly climbing higher.
There is no profit in the business any
more.
Delivery System Discontinued
One wholesale bakery in Minneapolis
has discontinued its entire delivery
system and, in consequence, discharged
the drivers. One Of these drivers had
been with the firm for years but he
found himself without a job a week
ago and his four small children to take
care Of, their mother being dead. He
was fortunate enuf to find similar
position within the week but at reduced
wages, altho the firm he bad been with
had bit recently reduced their drivers
wages in order to try to keep them en-
ployed, but finally was obliged to turn
them off altogether. This firm is look
ing for customers in the country towns.
Statement of Secretary
L. F. w. Meese, Secretary of the Min
nesota Retail Bakers Association, has
published the following statement:
"It is true the Safety Commission
has recently modified it's rulings, but,
since it fixed the price of an unwrapped
double loaf of war bread, the public
insists that bread be sold on that basis.
''For' that reason some bakers are
making a cheaper loaf and lose money
thereby. 1 have refused to follow this
course and am selling 10c loaf with
the result that the number of my custom
ers is constantly decreasing.
Lose IA Cents on Loaf
"The Safety Commission asks US to
furnish a pound loaf to dealers for &c.
However, it costs us IA cents to make it.
The whole thing is ,nonsensical and az
plies only to Minneapolis. If wheat
substitutes could he bought at
the price of wheat flour, it might
work, but this is not tire case.
The situation is serious. TIE Min
neapolis bakeries employ about a
thousand persons of whom many have
had from 20 to so years experience.
What are these people going to do if
they are now discharged while the costs
of production are too high?"

FORMER PICKFORD DIRECTOR
PRODUCED "ALIMONY'

To be entrusted with the RESPONSE
bility of producing a big state rights
feature at the age of twenty-five, is
the honor that has befallen Emmett
j. Flynn, the young director who
staged "Alimony," the sensational di-
vorce drama by Hayden Talbot, which
is to be seen at the Arcade theatre,
Wednesday and Thursday. Flynn has
the distinction of being one of the
youngest, yet most experienced direct
ors in the industry.
Born in Denver, Colo, he was edu-
Gated at the Logan Avenue school
and the Denver Jesuit College, and
Immediately upon graduation adopted
the stage for his profession. His
first engagement was with Willard
Mack in Salt Lake City. Then he
decided to transfer his allegiance to
the studio.
His first screen work was under the
supervision of D. V. Griffith, playing
leads opposite Francelia Ellington and
Irene Hunt in old Majestic and Reli-
ance pictures. Then he appeared op-
posite Myrtle Steadman in her first
Paramount play; and later joined John
B. O'Brien as assistant. When o.
Brien took up the task Of directing
Mary Pickford about year and half
ago, Flynn accompanied him and had
much to do with the production of
several of Miss Pickford's best sub
jects.
