brera leave the country was made by
the unionist leaders. who guaranteed
safe conduct for him and his family.

move TO REDUCE
LN|NGEXPENSE
Trade Commission Urges I'm.
proved Marketing Facilities
at Food Centers.

Declaring that the costs Of food dis
tribution are too great. the Federal
Trade Commission today recommended
improved marketing facilities and
processes at the great consuming CEN
ters as a long step toward lowering
the high cost of living.
"The movement Of food should be
made most direct from field to fac
tory" the commission declared in a
report on wholesale marketing of
food, one of the series in the food
price investigation ordered by the
President.
Elimination OF Costs.
Elimination of unnecessary costs
and losses in food distribution. the
report added. would not only "act as
counter agent in checking disparity
in food prices and money incomes, but
would strengthen the nations posi-
tion in its competition for world
trade"
The report asserts that the rapid
rise in food prices in recent years Is
not so significant as that the money
incomes of large numbers have fallen
far short of proportional increase.
THE weekly wage of union organ
ized labor in 1918 bought but u per
cent according to the Department of
Labor as much food as in 1913. The
larger number of service incomes do
not fall within this organized group
and are much lower to respond to the
pressure of a higher cost of living.
Moreover, these incomes are for the
same reason usually less in amount.
Decrease I'm Buying Power.
1T follows that for very large num-
bers Of people receiving relatively
small incomes a weeks wage In 1915
was purchasing much less than n per
cent of the food It bought in 1913.
"A wise governmental policy to-
ward the food industries may lower
production and distribution costs to-
rether with the final sales price with
out proportionally increasing gov
ernmental costs, thus reducing the
national cost Of food"
