A Dollar in Food Then and Now.

A striking exhibit of the heavy
drop of retail food prices from the
imitation level of year ago is given
in specific detail in a published news
item Of the Enterprise Of Brockton,
Massachusetts, reproduced elsewhere
on this page. 1t tells of twenty-five
different food articles displayed in
store window of Brockton with
the price OF each marked on it and
the total amount of money it takes
to buy the whole to-day, alongside of
q duplicate pile of precisely the same
food articles, with the prices marked
on each and the total amount of
money it took to buy the whole ex-
actly one year before. The long and
the short of the story of this exhibit
IS that in that Brockton store $22.10
in June, 1921, would buy as much of
the twenty-five food articles as $51.59
would buy in June, 1920.
The twenty-five articles are all in
everyday use in the average Ameri-
can family-sugar, coffee, tea, -four,
bread, vegetables, eggs, butter and
cheese, smoked meats, &c. The guam
titles range from jar of jam to two
pecks of potatoes, 100 pounds OF
sugar and one-eighth of barrel of
-four. In addition to the supply of
sugar snd -four there are sixty
pounds of miscellaneous edibles, two
dozen eggs and eighteen tins of vege.
tables, not to mention three dozen
doughnuts-and the whole for the
$22.10 now as against that $51.59 a
year ago!
If any wage Garner, looking into
that shop window at the like articles
of consumption massed in exactly the
same weights and quantities, the one
lot for $51.59 and other for $22.10,
could fail to understand what it means
to him in the pay he earns he would
have to be beyond all hope Of COM
pretending the oldest and the most
important lesson in the world. This
lesson is, ever has been and ever will
be that the reward of labor is not
and cannot be expressed truly in the
dollar marks of the wage it gets but
in the necessaries of life, the luxuries
and the other useful and desirable
things into which that wage, what
ever the dollar marks that are bla-
zoned on it, will exchange.
The exhibit in that Brockton store
of how every dollar a man earns now
is worth to him in those particular
articles there displayed all that $3.50
was worth to him year ago is the
simple but the complete proof of the
need Of all workers, the employer and
the employee-the payer of wages
and the receiver OF wages-to do
their part in bringing about defia-
tion of everything to the benefit of
everybody.
Food is the main item in the cost
of living of the average American
family, and there has been drastic
dehation there by square, intelligent
dealers who make the right prices,
as shown In the comparative price
lists of that Brockton store. But
there are other important factors In
which deflation has not yet taken
place. This work must be completed
in all limos, from top to bottom, and
labo8 must do it's share in debating
war wages before IL can be COM
pleted, to nobody's larger interest
than labor's.

Recently when the fact became known that this speaker had been secured from the national headquarters, the active members were jubilant and quickly passed the word along.
 It is with the hope that this speak CT will be able to patch up the diff ferences of opinion existing between the factions, that the leaders have asked an outside worker here. In talk with local man who is known to be conversant with some of the conditions in the party in this city the latter wouched for the accur- acy of the published report in Satur- days Herald, and he also said that at very recent meetings of the organ ization, some very spicy talks were given against the government, factory heads and those behind law and order in this city.
