SELL FOOD AND CLOTHING
AT COST TO EMPLOYEES
Pittsburgh Firms Start Movement
to Meet Advancing High
Costs of LIVING
BY Webster.

PITTSBURGH, December -. - 4
number of important manufacturing
concerns in this city are selling food
and clothing at cost to their en-
ployes in an effort to meet the ad-
yancing price of commodities.
One company buys for its workmen
every two weeks a carload of hams
and bacon. This is shipped direct
from the packer to the mill and there
sold to the men at cost plus the
transportation charge. The president
of the company indorses it as one
of the best things he has ever done
for his men.
Another concern has been supplying
many Of its mill and Office employees
with canned goods. wearing apparel,
including overcoats and shoes. and
Ieven childrcn's shoes. The saving was
such as to make the wage earners en-
thusiastic.
Employees Of another big manufac-
turing plant rented a store, stocked
it with groceries, bought through use
of the companyS credit, and in a
few weeks were doing u business OF
$1,000 a daE. Only employees of the
company can buy in the store. The
price to the buyer is first cost plus
rent. light. clerk hire and freight.
I'VE started with groceries" said
the manager, looking over his well
kept store with pride, but lately We
added such clothing as the men wear
while at work. Soon we viii have
tailor shop for mems clothes and
next we are going TO put in line OF
womens wear and such things as
women must have around the house.
l don't know how many of the COM
pany's 20900 workmen buy here, but
am sure we have among our Gus
toners at least one representative or
every family"
There is still one item, however. in
the living cost. from which many
workers in the district can find no
relief-that of high rents. Workmen's
houses are scarce in every section OF
the district.

SAYS THE WAR LOWERED
PRESTIGE OF MATRIMONY
Bishop of Hereford Deplores Near
ing Attack on Christian Con-
ception of Marriage.

MANCHESTER. England, Decemb"r
20 Correspondence of the Associate
Press).-''Everything points to the near
approach of a general. deliberate ana
sustained attack on the Christian con-
ception of marriage declared the
Bishop of Hereford in an address a
Manchester Cathedral on New Ideas OF
Marriage"
THE war has lowered the prestige OF
marriage i'll the thought of many people
and visibly endangered its character
said the bishop This has been ac-
complished partly by endowing women
and girls nth unprecedented independ-
ence and forcing item into a public
prominence for which nothing i'll their
previous careers had prepared them
most of all by shaking the whole fabric
of civilized society and bringing into
open question the accepted principle OF
social order, discrediting churches.
breaking down authority and forcing
under ruthless criticism the most init
mate and fundamental assumptions OF
human conduct
''The divorce court shows US the pic
ture of a society governed by impulse
rather than by principle, swept along by
the currents of self-indulgent fashion
rather than pursuing a determined
course by the direction of settled con-
victions of personal duty"
