NO HOPE FOR RETURN
OF FIVE-CENT BREAD
American Bakers in Convention Say
It Can't Be Done.

BIZ Times Special
FRENCH LICK, Ind, Sept. IL
There is no hope for the return Of
the scent loaf of bread under the
present circumstances, William K.
Kern, president of the American
Bakers Association, declared in an
opening address before the conven-
ton here today.
Even if the price of wheat drops
so low that a pre-war profit on such
a loaf can be shown a 5cent loaf
cannot be baked and sold. With rents
three times as high as in pre-war
days, with fuel four times as &gh
and machinery and repairs all out of
proportion, a greater profit must be
taken by the baker, Kern declared.

STEEL MEN RNRTER

Glance over the statements regard
ing the i2-hour day made by the
steel men recently and In the past.
Now they say they will grant the
appeal for abolition of the I2.hour
day Just as soon as there is sufficient
labor in the country to make it pos
sibe to get the $4,000 additional men
needed to have three shifts instead
of two.
The steel men are ready to make
trade. They want, above all, more
immigration. Once the restrictions
on immigration are taken away-as
many Of them as possible-the steel
men will have won great victory
for their own interests. What does
it matter if, Tor a time, they are
Obliged TO employ three shifts in
stead of two? They will have made
good trade. II all limitations on
immigration are made less strict il
will take a long time to put those
restrictions back. 1t will be a much
easier operation for the steel men to
put back the 12-hour day with its
cheaper two-shift plan If they want
to. Lift the immigration restrictions.
