WHY BREAD COSTS MORE

Bread has gone up two cents a loaf
in many cities. yet the wheat crop OF
the United States is selling today at the
same price as ono year ago.
What is the cause Of the advance?
The bakers tell US that labor Is re-
sponsiblc. The railroad men who
handled the wheat demanded and got
higher wages Elevator hands. lake
sailors. firemeu. engineers. dock men
followed suit. Transfers came in and
got their share. Flour mill employees
struck and got higher wages. Journey
mon bakers asked for more. and thus
tho merry round OF advancing costs
continued. and the excess cost finally
sent the price OF the family bread some
two or three cents higher per loaf. 1t
would be, hard to md better lllustra-
ton OF: tht fact that the consumer in
the lonk fun. pays tho bill. The raw
material for bread sells for the same
price TIA, II sold for year ago. The
price OF labor ~ the only thing that has
changed and that change is felt on
every breakfast table
