HIGH LAUNDRY PRICES
BRING COMPLAINT
City Mail Superintendent Puts
Them Up to Council Of
Defense.

Whether laundry prices in Washing
ton are unnecessarily high may be taken
up for consideration by the District
Council Of Defense at its next meeting.
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton Of the council by W. II. Haycock,
superintendent Of mails at the city post
Office. Referring to laundries, Mr.. Hay
cocks letter reads. in part:
During the last year their prices on
nearly every article have doubled and
in some cases more than doubled. They
evidently realize that great many Of
the women who were formerly engaged
in laundry work are now engaged in
other pursuits. and have taken advan-
tage of the situation to raise prices
The Chinese laundries have made a
slight raise upon such articles as they
launder, but it is not nearly as much
as the Increases made by the steam
launNries. / believe this is form of
profiteering in the District that should
be given consideration by your board +"
Officials OF the defense council said
they were nSt familiar enough with the
laundry business to comment upon the
fairness Of the prices It is probable
that Mr.. Haycock's complaint will come
before the next meeting Of the council
