Chester, COnn.-The Rev. George r.
Gilbert, rector Of the Episcopal church

COST OF LIVING
MAY REMAIN HIGH
SAYS TRADE BOARD

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 25.--
The cost Of living is likely to stay
high for a long time to come in the
opinion of the Philadelphia Board of
Trade. This view is a result of a
compilation of statistics from many
lines Of trade and industry.
According to these figures the ad-
vance in prices in this country since
1914 has been about 107 per cent, in
Canada lis per cent; Great Britain
1873 per cent and France 235 per cent.
Ii is pointed out that, in spite Of ma
terial reductions in the price of steel,
the advance in other commodities
since armistice has been so great that
the average price schedules have been
reduced but 81 per cent below prices
prevailing October /, 1918.
The following are given rs reasons
why wages will not he much less for
a considerable period of time:
Practical stoppage Of immigration
since 1911. depriving this country of
several millions Of workers who would
nOTnldllN fIlNt NbHiN w N' oh' N'''
have relieved the labor shortage which
confronts American industry upon
the resumption of capacity operations,
Retention in the government mill
tary service of nearly 100000 work
ers, which. it is declared will doubt
less continue an indefinite period.
Creation of new industries such as
shipbuilding manufacture of chemi-
Gals and dyes.
Urgent demand for building and
construction of every class due To
their having been forcibly held back
for several years.
Shortage of world food supplies
and uniformly high prices.
Proportionately higher levels H
commodity prices existing throughout
Europe.
