Violated.

Charges that "ther entire burden OF

while the management personnel re-
mains intact and under full pay were
contained in a formal statement today
by N. P. Alias, president Of District
No. "A, International Association OF
Machinists
In his statement Atlas declared that
organized labor expects to urge its
friends in Congress during the next
session to make an investigation into
the manner in which the spirit Of the
economy laws have been violated by
the Navy Department in discriminating
against the civilian employees of the
Navy Yards in reductions in pay and
extended furloughs."
This Is being done. Alias stated
while the entire personnel of Navy
officers assigned to these stations" re-
mains intact.
Claims 29% Cut.
Alifas pointed out that Navy Yard
employees under the departmental order
Of August 3 had their weekly earnings
cut a total Of over 20 per cent, includ-
ing the Is per cent congressional wage
cut. In addition some employees who
formerly received first-claSs pay are be-
ing re-employed at a reduction Of 10
cents per ahour."
Mr.. Alias expressed the opinion that
1000 other employees will be discharged
before January /, while "on the other
hand there are upward of 1000 naval
officers stationed at these same yards
none of whom are being furloughed and
neither do they lose one days pay per
week, as do the civilians"
Congress" the statement continued
has not recognized naval officers as 9
special preferred class in Government
service. immune from the drastic
economy which is being practiced upon
civilians. The fact that they compose
the boards which are recommending
economies" in Alias opinion, should
make their recommendations to the
scrutiny to avoid the charge that
favoritism was shown to their own
group"
Calls for Correction.
Alias declared that under "the ma
tional recovery act it Is possible tc
expend a portion Of the naval con-
struction fund for modernization oi
battleships and II Immediately assigned
would make the drastic discharge OF
1000 navy yard employees unnecessary. y
In closing, Alifas charged that 1.-The
President cannot afford to jeopardize
the spirit of the national recovery &C,
by permitting condition to exist In
the ttustry under which he has sole
jurisdiction-the Federal Government
under which the personnel composing
the management remains intact and or

PRICE Of BREAD
WILL Be PROBED
Investigation to- Be Made in
Cities Where Increases
Seem Out of Line.
BY the Associated Press.

DR.. Fred c. Howe, consumers coun.
sci for the Farm Administration, sale
today an investigation would be made
in cities where the price Of bread
seemed out Of line and where the price
spread had increased sharply in the last
few months.
Howe made his comment on the
basis Of study by the Farm Admins
tration, which showed the price o1
bread in 16 representative cities hac
increased IA cents from February Is
to August 2. The study was based on
the average cost of a pound loaf oi
white bread, 16 ounces making pound
Average 7.8 Cents.
No specific cities for the investiga-
tion were mentioned by Howe The
study, however, showed that the price
Of bread in San Francisco was 9.3 cents
on August 2 and the price of bread in
Mobile was 9 cents. This compared
with an average of 7.8.
The price spread from February Is to
August In these two cities was less
than that in other places The report
issued by the Farm Administration
showed that the cost of a pound Loaf
of bread in Cincinnati had risen from
So to 7.8 in the period studied, 9
spread of 25, and that in Memphis the
increase had been 81.
Check Labor Costs.
DR.. Howe said that the increased cost
of labor in the various cities had no:
been fully determined and that thi:
might have had an effect in making the
price spread higher in some towns.
There are 62 one-pound loaves in 9
bushel of wheat
The average price Of a pound LOAF
of white bread in 16 representative
cities rose about IA cents from Feb
ruary Is to August 2, Dr. Howe re-
ported, adding:
considering the increases in ma.
terial costs, the moderateness of thi.
advance in average price reflects the
cooperative spirit with which the
bakers of these cities have lived up te
assurances given Secretary Wallace by
the president Of the American Bakers
Association that they would do theil
best to limit bread price advances tc
the increase in ingredient and Other
production costs"

This compilation is the first Of series

DR.. Howe advised the consumers Il
bear in mind that the weight of thu
bread loaf had been increased In some
instances since the price rise begar
and decreased in others. It would bt
a good idea. he said, for the pur.
chaser to ask the grocer what a LOAF
