MERCHANTS
Boost Food Prices IA Per
Cent

Washington, D. c. (AFLNS)-Mer-
chants continued their activities
against the masses by increasing the
retail price of food products an aver
age Of IL per cent between February
16 and March is, according to an ma
nouncement by the u. S. Department
of Labor.
A statement by Isador Lubin, chief
Of the departments Bureau of Labor
Statistics, said that fruit and vege-
table merchants were responsible for
the major part Of the increase with
81 per cent boost in the price of fresh
fruits and vegetables.
Although dealers in meat products
were able to raise prices in general
only an average of IL per cent during
the month, they elevated lamb n
per cent above the price exacted dur
ing the previous month, and boosted
roasting chickens 2.5 per cent.
Taking the retailers of food as
group they had boosted prices, ac-
cording to Mr. Lubin's figures, IA
per cent above food prices in March
year ago.
All of which, translated into plain
facts for the masses Of American
workers, means that for every dollar
Of wages received in March, 1886,
they should now be receiving $1.08
merely to break even on the raeketeer-
ed prices imposed on them by food
merchants alone, not to say anything
of the extortion levied by dealers in
clothing, shelter, and other necessi-
ties Of life. On, expressed negatively,
the food-buying power Of every dollar
Of the workers wages was reduced to
- cents during the year.
! 1t is well to remember this fact
when editorial penny a-liners and
economists servilely attached to the
apron strings Of big business keep
/ stressing the bagatellish wage in
ereaes handed out to working men
and women by generous" employers.

sand strikers, marching peacefully
toward meeting some of them
merely going home from an earlier
meeting was broken up by clubs and
tear gas.
Eight companies of state troops
were sent to Lewiston and Auburn,
and dispersed even the smallest
groups Of strikers. The shoe manufac-
turers announced that they would not
recognize any union.

was unusual In that it is the first

the alleged fatal shooting Of Earl
Walker on the morning of August

Miss Francis met Walker in Feb.

THE HIGH JINKS
BY Julian Smythe Peasant, Jr.


Glamour, splendor and stupendous
tcts shall once again throw its spell
upon the High Jinks audience, which
is being presented at the Palace
Theatre, Wed. March 81, 8:15 p. M.
By the Paul Laurence Dunbar High
School Band, under the dictatorship
Of Clarens t. Francois.
The first performance which was
presented at the High School was
such huge success, that the manag-
ing committee of the production ar
ranged for it TO be given at the
Palace Theatre, due to the made
quate seating capacity Of the Dun
bar Auditorium, hundreds Of people
were turned away, because shere
wasn't even standing room at the
time. However, this time, we are
prepared against such an emergency
by having 1T at the Palace Theatre,
but still we are anticipating a full
house. There are only few tickets
left and they can be purchased at
eox's Pharmacy, West 5th and
Mound SITS, and by calling Mrs. Har-
riet Barnet, AD 6595, for reserva-
tions.
