.JEWISH BAKERS GET
$50 WEEKLY WAGE
Employers Say They Must
Raise Bread Price and APP
peal to Williams.
NINE CENTS TOO LITTLE
Ask Committee to Fix Figure
Fair to Them and to
Consumer.
NINE CENTS TOO LITTLE

The Master Bakers Federation of New
York. composed of 466 Jewish bakers
and baking concerns, appealed yesterday
to Arthur williams. Federal Food Ad-
ministrator OF this city. to have his fair
price committee take up the question OF
what should be considered fair margin
of profit for the output OF their bake
shops. The bakers declare they Will
have TO raise the price OF bread, which
is now Q cents loaf. because OF the IN
creased costs of operations. but they
begged the fair price committee to take
the Job Off their hands, so that the pub
lie would understand just what master
bakers are up against.
The delegation, which laid the fed
eration's difficulties before Mr.. Williams,
was made up of NJ. Frankel, secretary
David Miller and Messrs. Herbst and
Haren.
1t was explained to the Food Admins
traitor that prior to the war bakers were
happy and satisfied with wages aver
aging from $25 to $40 per week with
workday of 9 hours. Besides this 1t was
stipulated then that each workman
should be allowed to take homo bread
to the value of 20 cents a day, or $40
a week
Now, according to Mr.. Frankel. the
master bakers are compelled to pay a
wage scale running from $5S to $61 a
week for bakers. and the working day
has been pruned down to 6h hours q
day. In addition to this, the agree.
ments between employer and employee
provide that each employee must be per-
mitted to carry out of the shop bread
stuffs amounting to 81 per week. Or. as
one of the master bakers put 1t, the
maximum weekly wages of baker have
jumped from s31.4o to s65 per week, il
you add in the money value of the
breadstuffs he gets.
The master bakers agreed to maintair
their nine cent price per loaf until mex
week without making any advances, ant
promised to accept any price which thu
| fair price committee decides will he fail
to them and to their customers.
Mr.. Williams announced on behalf o
the fair price committee another in
stance in which an overcharge for suga
has been voluntarily refunded.
The official history of the incident rea
as follows;
Complaint was made by the Nationa
Licorice Company, 106 John stree
! Brooklyn, y. Y. that for a purchase O
10000 pounds OF sugar they had bee
| charged 10 cents. The sugar was re
ported sold by s. b. Thompson Company

10 cents a pound.
The Thompson company claimed {

SEIZED COFFEE IS RELEASED.
New York Owners Prove They Are
Not Hoarding.

NOT honrOtnE.
The second release of foodstuffs seized
by Government agents seeking hoarders
was ordered yesterday by United States
District Attorney Hensley of st. Louis
when 2s1,S40 pounds of coffee held in
warehouses of the S. n. Long Ware
house Company in st. Louis and belong
ing to ]. Aron & Co., 95 Wall street,
New York, were released.
1t was alleged on August II that the
coffee was being boarded to increase Its
price, and on that day 1t was seized by
the Federal authorities and put in the
custody of the United States Marshal
until a court hearing should determine
what was to be done.
After Hehsley had been convinced by
n member of the firm of j. Aron & Co.
that the coffee had been stored there be-
cause OF the congestion OF warehouse
facilities in New York and had investi-
gated the case he ordered the coffee re-
leased. In doing so be pointed out,
according to a telegram received yes
terday by ]. Aron & Co. from their
representative in ST. Louis. that his
investigation showed that this was not
case OF boarding or attempted prof
iteering. and that the owner had been
making efforts to sell the coffee.

General said that the Government had
no intention of using its power to seize
and sell food, to break the market. or
bring on any disastrous consequences,
but that the campaign was directed to
bringing pressure on prices to force them
naturally to lower levels.
Indiscriminate seizure and sale would
be avoided because of the caution neces-
sary to avoid putting food on the mar

Members OF the committee questioned
Mr.. Palmer as to whether he believed
restrictions on farm organizations and
farmers would not tend to decrease pro-
duction at time when 1t Is needed to
Increase the supply and thus make OPP
erative the law of supply and demand.

Every honest farmer should be just
as anxious as any other citizen to pre-
vent profiteering in his ranks"
He declared that he believed that
profiteering in sugar had been largely
stopped.
