PRICES OF FOOD
ARE STILL RISING
Wage Cuts Fail TO Keep Cost Of Living
Down, Labor Department
Reports

WASHINGTON, Sept. Food prices
today are on the upward trend while
wages continue to go downward.
These facts, presenting a problem for
the average American worker IN a pc
riod of great unemployment, were made
public yesterday by the department of
labor.

that wage cuts in 500 representative in
dustrial establishments, with 4,500,0O0
workers totaled l59 per cent during the
first eight months of the present. year.
Reports to the secretary Indicate that
the downward trend of wages has not
yet been reached. ....e. s.s..t...
Ethelbert Stewart, chief of the bu-
reau of labor statistics, who is In
charge of the collection of data on liv-
ing costs, stated that. while figures on
food costs for the month of August are
not yet complete, incomplete reports
show that the cost of living has been
higher during the present month than
it was in July.
Partial reports indicate, Stewart said,
that the average family has paid more
for food in August than in July, and the
July reports showed that living costs
during that month We're nearly 3 per
cent higher than in June. Stewart re
fused to comment on the reasons for
the mounting prices. nor would he pre-
dict whether no fall months would be
marked by continued. increases .... q
In a statement of wage reduction
during the current year, Secretary Da-
Wis stated that a study had been made
in about 800 representative plants
which had been chosen as characteristic
of general industrial conditions.
Five hundred instances of wage re
auctions were discovered in $50 plants
b. the national conference board, the
Secretary said These included textile
plants in various parts of the country,
the cuts taking place between Septem-
Der l. 1920, and May, 1921. The average
reduction was 20 per cent, but in some
places several 5 and 10 per cent cuts
were recorded.

the secretary pointed out, unskilled
labor will average 50 a day as against
