HOTELS HARD HIT
BY HIGH PRICES;
NOT PROF|TEERING

Frank S. Hight, manager OF the New

teresting facts and figures to disprove
the assumption that hotels are hot
beds OF profiteering. Mr.. Hight is
president OF the Washington Hotel
Mems Association.
"Realizing," said Mr.. Hight, that
an insidious propaganda is under way
throughout the country charging the
hotels of Washington with profiteer-
ing in food prices, have had a syste-
matte examination made of these al
legations, and find them wholly un-
warranted.
Live Beyond Means.
Mr.. Hight added that an investiga-
tion would prove that in the majority
OF instances the profiteering cry comes
from persons who are living beyond
their means.
Now for some facts" continued
Mr.. Hight. at has cost the hotel
men of the country something to CO
operate with the Food Administra-
ton. Thousands of them have spent
a great deal of money in putting out
literature OF various kinds to assist
food conservation. The substitutes
they have been asked to use for
wheat, for instance, cost q lot more
than wheat itself. For example:
In June, 1917. wheat Flour cost S7s
a barrel The prices some Of the sub
stitutes for wheat -four have reached
in the last few months are interesting
by comparison. Corn -four. which could
be bought readily a few years ago for
$s75 a barrel. has been as high as $132s; ;
barley -four has reached 04-5o; oat -four,
S1A75; rice -four, SIS. and potato -four,
81. Wheatless spaghetti cost in June.
1918. $40 per box, as compared with
S195 pair for ordinary spaghetti in June.
1917.
Labor Prices Up.
During the last twelve months, the
cost Of every form OF labor in a first
class hotel has increased. Wages Of
chambermaids have more than doubled.
Wages OF walters have increased In
some cases 80 13 per cent. in others as
much as 100 per cent The wages Of
cooks have gone up. in some cases %
per cent, in others as much as so per
cent The cost Of china, glassware, and
linen has more than doubled The cost
of carpets has increased by rs to 150
per cent The one item Of coal Is in
teresting- In one hotel alone. where the
ordinary consumption cost less than four
thousand dollars a month. It now ranges
from nine thousand TO ten thousand q
month.
1T should be remembered that the
average first-class hotel, in order to OBJ
tain the best in the market, usually has1
to pay more than the housewife. Many
things which help to provide the atmo-
sphere OF frst-class, modern hotel cost
