French Clerks DenOunce
Increasing Cost of Food


Paris, May 1.-THE employees OF
the department stores of Paris are
today making loud demands for more
pay. They say the cost of living has
advanced three-fold since 1919. Their
main complaint is in the matter of
food, and the government has inter
vened by trying to regulate the price
of bread. The department stores had
a lesson not long ago when they ad-
vanced the price of clothing. French
women simply did not buy dresses
when prices scared beyond their
reach. The store proprietors began
to lose money, and thus were COM
PEELED to scale down their prices But
it is easier for the people to dispense
with new clothes than with food, SO
the violent protest of today against
the cost of sustenance are not sur
prising.
