Leon s. Ulman, a master baker.
and also member of Figg's ad-
visory board. acted as spokesman for
the bakers. but Charles ]. Corby
presented most of the facts.
The present necessity for an in
crease. it was brought out. was be-
cause the bakers had purchased flour
at high prices and would be losing
money il they sold bread at the
present price.
The bakers urged that the whole
sale selling price of bread be raised
from Z to s l-2 cents a loaf. which
would cause the public to pay 10
cents loaf. The size of the loaf
however. they say, would Be in
creased from twelve to fourteen
ounces.
A demand by the journeyman
bakers for an increase in wages, ef-
fective May 1. 1t was explained,

reached twelve ounces
CorDy said. in answer to a ques-
ton of Figg. that the government

Committee Chairman Issues
Warning to Federal En- i

The item for the ;24o bonus for
government clerks was stricken
from the legislative appropriation
bill in the House yesterday on a
point of order at the instance of
Representative Thomas /. Blanton,
of Texas. I
Blanton contended that the bonus
is not authorized by existing laws,
but was only put in by consent Of
Congress. He was upheld. 1t Is
believed. however. that the item will
be put back when it comes up in
the Senate.
Representative William r. Wood,
OF Indiana. chairman of the sub
committee on the legislative. ex-
ecutive and judicial appropriation
bill of the Appropriations Commit
tee. issued a warning earlier in the
day to the National Federation of
Federal Employees that they were

He was emphatic in his stand
against increasing the bonus for
civilian employees and said it was
just like throwing that much pork
into the bill.
Wood also declared that the po-
lice and firemen will not receive
their $240 bonus if he could help it.
