Strong protests have been made
against the proposed removal of the
Naval Library and War Records Office
from its old home in the State, War
and Navy building to the new Navy
building in West Potomac Park. The
library, in addition to fine collec-
tion Of books on naval personnel and
events, contains the letter books OF
the United States Navy from the
time of it's organization. in 1900 to
date, and complete naval records OF
the war of 1872, the civil war Of the
sixties and the Spanish war. These
comprise the only complete official
history Of thefNavy and always have
been guarded with special care,
owing to the impossibility OF their
Library Specially Designed.
The library itself is one of the show
rooms of the big granite building.
It was specially designed for the pur-
pose after the most modern models,
and the iron shells and cases were
built in the walls. Besides elaborate
decorations on its lofty vaulted cell
ing, its walls are lined with valuable
marble panels donated by the gov
ernments .of italy, France and Spain
and by panels of onyx in the galleries.
donated by the Mexican government.
When the Navy Department was in
stalled in its new building in West
Potomac Park several months ago the
combined war records Office and liz
brary Office was left undisturbed in
the State, War and Navy building

that this business was increasing the

Durand suggested that something

been informed that, while the price OF
cattle on the hoof had dropped about
S23 to 25 per cent in the last ninety
days, the prices of meat had not made
.any such reduction, and that the
prices Of hides had increased from 40
Ito 80 per cent.
i, That's a thing they can't under

y DIR. Meeker said that the increase In
the prices of foodstuffs since the war
began in 1914 had been s5 per cent.
and that the increase in the cost OF
living had been about 30 per cent.
y Walter Y. Durand, an examiner OF
.the Federal Trade Commission, said
that he did not think the reason for
the present high cost of living would
be found in the stores of Washington.
but that it would be found in the in

portion of the passport division. The
Smoot committee on public buildings
suggested that the library be moved
into the first floor OF wing of the
new Navy building, and Secretary
Daniels approved the transfer.

Since then investigation has shown
that it will cost the government at
least S25.000tto make the change. the
lowest bid received being $1,000 for
the actual removal of the books,
manuscript. etc, and general equip
ment, and $4,000 for their proper in
stallation- in the other building. The
cost is one of the reasons advanced
against the change, but another is the
alleged unsuitabiiity Of the new
quarters. 1t is represented that be-
ing on the first floor level with the
ground. the floors are damp, as shown
by the fact that the linoleum with
which they were covered few
months ago is rotten and mildewed,
with water oozing through, thereby
creating an atmosphere that would be
very destructive to the precious old
records of the Navy. Those opposing
the change say that under the present
arrangement 1t never takes more than
few minutes to answer calls from
officials Of the Navy Department for
books or records in the library, and
that the service could not be expe-
dited in that respect even II the IL

The conference was called by Sem

sion. and n. NJ Barrett, formerly an
examiner for the Federal Trade Com
mission, urged the committee to make
the investigation into specific prices
of foodstuffs and cost of rents and
clothing rather than to attempt an
investigation into the cost of living,
in which the family budget must be
taken into consideration.
They contended that the committee
could much more readily learn if
there was profiteering going on and
whether the people Of Washington are
being charged more for the same ar
ticles than the people of other cities
by sticking to a mere investigation Of
prices.
Dr. Mosher also suggested that it
would be wise for the committee to
limit it's field of research to the Dis
trict of Columbia, with an investiga-
tion into prices of similar necessries
in cities that correspond to Washing
ton in size and location.

are leaving the service all the time be-
cause Of the low wages and because
they can get more money outside. He
insisted that because Of the low wages
paid by the government, the cost-of-
living problem for wage earners in
Washington was more acute than that
In other places.
Senator Capper Of Kansas asked DR..
Meeker to suggest some remedy for the
high cost Of living.
DR.. Meeker replied that the increased
phenomenal increase in the currency
and bank credits. He suggested that
prices would come tumbling down II
there was a large cut in outstanding
loans and obligations. But just as much
trouble and perhaps much more distress
would follow in the wake of falling Of
price levels than if they are maintained
at the present high level. he said.
TT might be better" he said ito
keep prices at the present high level.
We could adjust ourselves to the high
cost of living with comparatively lit
tie pain. But il the prices were to fall
suddenly it might result in shutting
down many factories and closing
many banks with great distress"
Senator Ball suggested that it would
be necessary for the government to
reform it's salary rolls If there was
! to be any real relief in Washington.
4 DR.. Meeker agreed with him. He
. added that he believed the distribute
Sing system for perishable foodstuffs
, must be reformed also II prices of
foodstuffs are to be reduced. The
: consumer. he said. must be brought
into closer touch. The marketing sys-
TEN and the transportation system
. both must be improved, he said.

Always Have Been Higher.

DR.. Royal Meeker, commissioner of
labor statistics. told the committee
that foodstuffs in Washington always
have been high. as compared with
other parts of the country, and that
it is only to be expected that food
stuffs should be higher here now
than elsewhere. He presented figures
to show that before the war Washing
ton was the fourth most expensive
city in the country in which to pur-
chase twenty-five articles Of food, and
that a recent investigation. completed
in June Of this year, showed that out
of a list of thirty-nine cities. Wash
ington stood eighth. He said, there
fore, that the increase in prices here
had not kept pace with that in some
of the other cities, Notwithstanding
the very large increases in Washing
ton.
It would have been miracle. DR..
Meeker said, If prices of foodstuffs and
rents had not increased here consider
ably, in view of the very large increase
in population in Washington after the
war began.
Dr. Meeker pointed out that investiga-
tioNs have shown that increases in
wages. while they have been large in
many industries, have not, except in a
few favored cases, kept pace with the
iEgton, where the government II the
great employer Of labor Of all kinds. the
wages have not been increased at all.
except for the S120 bonus granted last
year, and the $40 bonus granted this
year. DIR. Meeker said that many of the
government employees, however. do not
even benefit by this bonus system.
