T-Bone Steaks Cheap

How would you like to get a
nice T-bone steak for from % to
80 cents? That's what you can get
in Los Angeles cafeterias In the
cheaper restaurants the worker
who does not care for frills can get
full meal, including soup and de-
sert, for 20 and 25 cents-as be-
fore the war.
The worker can get full meal
in San Francisco for 80 cents in
good restaurant, and for less in
the more lowly places.
In Portland food prices more
nearly resemble those in Seattle and
Tacoma, but they are somewhat
lower.
AS for hotel rates, room which
will cost 81 to SO a day in Tacoma
and Seattle, can be had anywhere
else on the Coast at S 1 a day. That
is, a room without a bath. A room
with bath can be had in Port
land, San Francisco, and Los An
geles for $3.50 day, and in some
instances for SIPS. These rooms
can be had in first class hotels with
modern equipment and with excel
lent service.

No Harvest" Period

One of the strangest things to a
traveller from Seattle or Tacoma is
to find that if hotel has but one
room left because of crowds, that
room can be obtained for the same
rate as though the hotel was half
empty. 1t is only the hotel men
of Seattle and Tacoma who appear
to take advantage of the traveller.
Elsewhere on the Pacific Coast
there appears to be an understand
ing among hotel men not to raise
rents-and it leaves an excellent
impression.
Speaking of impressions, the
traveller can surely get them from
the soldiers from Camp Lewis who
are returning home.

Francisco and Los Angeles imme-
diately resent any attempt at or
ganized profiteering, in pleasant
contrast to the conservative news
papers in the Puget Sound cities,
which sit back and make no fight
on the profiteer, who is allowed full
sway and takes full advantage of
the situation.
Not a press dispatch of the food
and rent profiteering in progress in
Seattle and Tacoma has ever been
sent to the outside world. Labor
troubles are given lots of space, but
the fact that the worker in the
Puget Sound cities is groaning un-
der the load of living cost is never
mentioned.

Right here is a good place to call
Everetts attention to the fact that
all dealer in any commodity is en-
titled to is a fair profit and that is
all he will charge if he wishes his
town to prosper.
No town is so prosperous as one
inhabited by well paid, well housed,
contented workers who do not have
to spend all they make for some
thing to eat and wear and a place to
sleep. The merchants of town are
more contented and make more
money and worry less when they
feel that their customers are living
under decent conditions.
Everett people should remember
some of the conditions precedent to
the location of the Norway-Pacific
Construction G Drydock Co. in this
city. One of those conditions was
that the employees of that Com
pany should not be subjected to ex-
tortion by profiteers in housing
and other necessities of living.
There must be cooperation of the
factors in the upbuilding of any
community or there will be no up
building. A city cannot stand still
1t must go up or down. To go up
there must be cooperation of the
wealth-producing factors.

Can Save Pay

That the workers i'm Seattle and
Tacoma are unable to save as
much money as the workers Of
San Francisco and Los Angeles is
easily explained after compari-
son of prices-not in the leading
hotels, but in the places where
the sweat-grimed worker eats and
sloeps-in the cities along the
Coast
Clothing prices, fixed by the big
Eastern manufacturers, are about
the same all over the Coast for
men. Women's apparel on the
other hand, becomes much cheap

Are in the Dark

Consequently when people read
of the wages paid to Seattle and
Tacoma labor they cannot under
stand where the real trouble lies.
They do not understand that the
high wages of the present period
are absolutely gobbled up by the
food and rent hogs.
The cost of living, in San Fran
cisco is from % to SO per cent low
err than in Seattle, and in Los An
geles the cost is one-half what it
is in Seattle and Tacoma.
This statement is made after a
careful investigation by a Union
Record correspondent, and clearly
explains labor troubles in the
Northern cities. compared to the al
most complete absence of labor
troubles further south.

STRIKE CAUSED
BY LIVING COST
Constituencies Profiteering
Made the Shipyard Trou-
BILE in Seattle

The Journal has contended that
the high cost of living was the
chief cause Of the Seattle and Ia
coma Metal Trades strike, and now
we begin to get information show
ing why the strike was not gener-
al along the entire coast. The Sc
attic Union Record sent a member
of its staff to spend several weeks
in Oregon and California cities in
vestigating living costs and his re-
port shows why there is not SO great
degree of unrest in the cities
south as in Puget Sound cities.
There was as much resentment
and discomfort in California and
Oregon towns at the Macy Boards
wage adjustment as in Seattle and
Tacoma, but there was not, particu-
larly in California cities, the heart
less, soulless profiteer to grab all
the increase in pay which the work.
err might receive.
Nor was there any very great eff
fort to choke off the "cormorants"
in Seattle and Tacoma. No cities on
the continent have shown such lack
of patriotism and such gang Of
extortioners.
We believe The Union Record
truthfully says:
Under normal conditions no
strike would have been called.
/ "To come right down to brass
tacks the business men Of Seattle
are responsible for the strike.
THE business men of Seattle
have boosted the cost of living alb
normally"
"Abnormally" is putting it light.
Every man and woman in Seat
tie knows this"
Following is The Union Record
staff correspondent report:
LOS ANGELES, Feb. o.
Workers of Seattle, including
everybody else who eats and
sleeps, are presenting millions
of dollars to food wholesalers
and retailers, restaurants, no.
tells and rooming houses OIL
silver platter. The people of
Tacoma are doing the same
thing.
In no city on the Pacific Coast
are prices so high for food and rent
as they are in the two Puget Sound
cities. This statement can be sup
ported by any person who cares to
make an investigation.
Prices of food and rent are low
err the further south one goes. Ev-
en- at Portland, which is filled with
shipyard workers and doing a hum
ming business, the profiteer is con-
spicuous by his absence. In San
Francisco prices are still lower, and
in Los Angeles there is no differ
ence in price than before the war.
