WORKERS WAGE NOT
INCREASED

Frederick Howe, part of the adj
ministration machinery, declared
that increases were justified if
they were based on "cost factors,
including increases in the market
price of raw materials Through
speculation-Ed), by the process
ing tax, or by any increase in
wages" Needless to say there
have been no increases in wages
to the workers in the baking Oh
milling industries.
One of the largest baking CON-
panies in the country, the Genera
Baking Company, has declared
that Wa1lace's declaration sup.
ports higher prices for bread.
'We win be guided largely
by the views of Secretary Of
Agriculture Wallace, who has
already indicsted that present
price conditions Justify an m
crease of one and one-third
cent per pound of bread" said
Frederick n. Frazier, chair
man Of General BaRing.

In order to pacify the rls-
ing resentment against the
increase in bread
prices Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wallace has issued an
other statement supposedly
in defense of the consumers.
Far from doing any such
thing, his statement is only
a repetition of his previous
declarations that the increase
in wheat prices can and will
be placed on the working class
consumers.
PASS TAX ON TO CON-
SUMERS
His statement is in the form OF
a telegram to 49 mayors thruout
the country in cities where prices
have gone up. In it he declares
that the Department. of Agricul'

This sham battle between Ruth

Although one source fixed the
reduction at $4,000, others believe
it was $4,000. Last year Ruth re-

Rupert has offered $4,000 slash,
