WHEAT DROPS BUT.
BREADPRICESRISE
Living Cost Stays Up;
Wheat Lowest in % yrs

D WASHINGTON, Feb. II. ~ No
matter that the price. of wheat and
other farm products have dropped
to the lowest point in % years, and
that the farmers who produce the
food are starving, the price of bread
and other food for the workers are
just as high as ever. This was the
testimony produced before the SEN
ate committee Tuesday, "investigat-
ing" the high price of food to- the
consumers.
r These facts show up the arguments
of the bosses who are going ahead
with their cutting drive. They
point out that prices are dropping,
and that therefore wages must come
down. They never mention the fact
that prices that the workers pay
for food do not go down. The price
of bread, the most important item
of food for the workers, is Still as
high as ever
The investigation by the senate
is an effort to shave a fraction of
a cent off the price of bread so that
the campaign for wage-cutting can
go ahead with greater forces.
Z In his testimony before the senate
committee, Ethelbert tSewart, COM
missioner of labor statistics admitted
that though the price of wheat is
falling and is the lowest in % years
the price of bread on the contrary
has remained the same, or has &C.
,tually gone up. This is true of milk
and many other food products.
All of which goes to show the in-
creasing impoyerishment Of all work.
ers-employed and unemployed The
employed who are given wage cuts
while food prices remain the same
get lowered standard of living, and
the unemployed find it impossible te
obtain food at the high prices-or a,
any prices. The amounts provided
for breadline relief" doesn't buy
much food either.
