In former years the men em-

and food that often was not of
the best quality Each man was
obliged to purchase his own books
and magazines with which to
while away the long hours after

Within the space of few years
the old life largely has been done

commodious buildings that are
equipped with electric lights, bath

Washington. Jan. 10.-Tentativc
agreement for an investigation OF
wholesale and retail prices to be
carried on by the department OF
Justice, commerce department and
department OF labor had beeh
reached. Attorney General Daugh-
erty said today.
At conference with Secretaries
Hoover and Davis today Mr..
Daugherty said, it was virtually de-
cided to broaden the retail price
investigation Of the justice depart
ment to include the cost of var
ious commodities from their orr
gin to the consumer and TO make
the survey jointly by the three de-
partments.
A committee composed or n
member of each department, ne
added, would be appointed to con-
duct the investigation.
More extensive Investigation is
necessary. Mr. Daugherty declared,
so that the public may know the
"cost of the egg as 1t travels from
the hen to the breakfast table,
and the government plans to study
the whole field of prices and costs
of manufacturing and production,
Just what commodities will be
covered in the investigation, he
said, have not yet been deter
mined. but indicated that clothing
fuel and food would be included.
Investigation of prices and costs
he said. could be made more
thoroughly and economically by
the three departments Jointly than
through separate surveys. When
completed. he declared, the reports
would be consolidated by the JUS
tice department and the policy of
the government towards the con-
ditions found to exist would be de-
termined.
