BY GEORGE b. WATERS

The American people face the new
year with a higher cost OF living star
ing them in the face than that which
confronted them f. months ago. De-
spite fair-price committees, food od-
ministratOrs, the Lever law and pros
ecutions, it costs 3.S per cent. more TO
eat this New Year Day than It did Jan.
[. 1919.
Legal minds say laws are ITO punish
crime and deter others from commit
ting like ofenses." The amended Lever
law IS an exception 10 this rule. Do
spite a few prosecutions, and much
talk, food increased in cost per cent.
the first month II was In effect
Food Is 50 per cent. higher now
than before the war. The Bureau Of
Labor Statistics furnished this figure.
II affects all who eat. II is based on
he weighted average Of essential foods
that make up the daily diet Of Amer
lean homes. The smsllest increase
since 1913 was In plate beef, 43 per
cent, and the largest in eggs, 1875 per
sent.
But food is only one item People
will wear clothes, live IN houses. burn
fuel, use furniture and have miscel-
laneous expenses. These are necessl-
ties. Considering these with food, the
general cost Of existing has jumped
80 per cent. since before the war. This
figure Is based on statistics taken by
the Labor Department in the District
Of Columbia.

this means that when the bakers get

present pay, their wages will catch up
with living costs. This figure is right
Up TO now, and IS the first and only
one OF its kind that has found its way
into print. The Labor Department will
soon publish more figures that will re-
fleet the similar conditions in other
trades.

mistic from the workers standpoint.
