The accelerated pace of the rise is
shown in the index for May of this
year of 1929, for June of 1O46, and
for July of 1862, an increase of 2.a

When the August figures are released
it will show approximately per.

Predictions are that this pace will
become faster rather than slower, I'M
less the government takes vigorous
action to check the rise.
The highest increase in living costs
is in the cost of food. Food, since
the beginning of the war, increased
IA percent as of July of this year,
of which 8.5 occurred during the
March-July period. This column is

FALL RIVER, Mass.-Five cooper

The union-co-operative cafeterias were
opened last month after the company

will be divided among the members
at the end of the year.
The project has attracted national
attention in cooperative circles as
what may be the beginning of a new
era OF union-co-operative joint action.
according to Justice, the newspaper
of the International Ladies Garment
Workers Union. After the first
month of operation, the success of the
venture seems assured.
When the company decided to close
the cafeterias union officers realized

ly they proposed that the members
themselves operate the cafeterias on
a cooperative basis.

FROM EDITORIAL COLUMNS
The Lowdown on High Prices

The price control legislation well as the
threat initiation may be inferred from highly in
series of figures in the Federal Reserve Bulletin
In July the cost of living had risen only percent since
beginning of the but five points of this increase had
occurred March That it will go higher may be
predicted from the fact that basic commodity prices

since March, and the general index of wholesale
prices had risen 20 percent since the war started.
The cost of living however, need not rise much

Burdick to this column: 81 have voted
against every Administration measure
that seemed to me might involve this
country in war. However, now that
the President, who is my commander
In-chief, has given orders to our Navy
to shoot, I will back him UP to the

that shoot the more accurately.

And speaking of Hitler-haters, there

no justification whatever But it is
admitted that Henderson, under pres
ent laws, lacks the necessary author
ity to control prices.
In a speech before the Advertising
Club of Boston last week, Treasury
Secretary Morgenthau warned Of the
danger of initiation, and the likelihood
that the initiation of the World War
period will be repeated if nothing
is done about it now. At that time,
he said, the government waited until
living costs went up 70 percent be-
fore even moving to check the tend
ency. If we do not take heed, he said,
the American housewife again will
find herself paying $2.67 for a 10
pound bag of sugar; go cents for a
dozen eggs; SO cents for a 10-pound
bag of flour; 76 cents for pound of
butter, and so cents for a pound Of
pork chops. That is what the Amer
lready, he pointed out, it costs today
81, 40 to build a six-room house that
year ago cost only $4,000.
The reactionaries are putting many
things in the path as obstacle to the
price-fixing bill. First of all, they
don't want Henderson to be the price
car, because they want to control the
fellow who controls prices, and this
they cannot do with Henderson on
that job. Second, they want to freeze
labor costs, so that wages cannot go
up to meet the already high cost of
living. And third, they want to freeze
the costs of farm products at lower
than the ITO percent of parity, the
present bill providing that these costs
cannot be fixed at less than that fig
ure. But there are going to be more
raised to confuse the
issue in this fight than in many
