ing Costs In Bridgeport Rise Above National Rate

Bridgeport's cost of living
rose $40 between January Is
and April Is in 1912 showing
that wholesalers and retailers
got i'm their ticks i'm anticipa-
ton of the governments price
freezing order. The whole
salers were the most fiagrantly
guilty, especially the large
packing corporations. The
Park City's overall cost of liv-
ing is now 1917 higher than
in October, 1899, whereas the
increase for the entire country
is l4.8%o. These statistics were
released this week by Acting
Commissioners of Labor Sta
tistics Hinrichs, u. S. Depart
Vment of Labor.
FAMILIES HIT HARD
Clothing with an ll% increase
hit the low income families hard
with the highest increases in men
and women's cotton clothing and i'm
shoes. Food which increased 3.1%
for the quarter, actually rose more,
according to consumer sources, be-
cause second grade meats were be-
ing passed off as first grade and
many of the cheapest lines former
ly carried by wholesalers were
eliminated.
Prices ON fruits and vegetables,
except the seasonal one, sky
rocketed. Fats, oils and sugar
prices also increased. Towels,
sheets, rugs, suites of furniture and
mattresses continued to increase i'm
price. The cost of laundry service,
now being used by more workers
since wives are going into war i'm
dustries, is higher, as is toilet and
laundry soap and household sup
plies made of paper. Fuel, cleo
tricity and ice increased l.6%.
PACKERS PRESSURE
Park City retailers reported pres,
sure from the large packers who in
sist on their taking poor cuts and
who eliminate certain lines alto
gether. Charges have been made
by AFL food unions against these
packers that they are encouraging
protests from farmers and retailers
against necessary government ra-
tiOning and price freezing orders,
by buying less live stock from the
farmers and cutting sales to the
retailers.

Merchants End
Town Lockout.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz.-The Flag
staff Merchants Assn ended its 5-day
town-wide lockout to drive out AFL
organizers, after being told by Ted
Orme, representative of the War Pro-
duction Board, that 1000 government
workers at a nearby war project were
without food.
This is a ridiculous situation which
should have been settled by negotia-
tion," Orme said of the merchants
action. "It has now reached a danger
Gus point"
The Yuma Chamber of Commerce
thought the situation far from ridicu-
lous. Its president, E. M. Mcdaniel,
wired the Flagstaff merchants con-

UNEMPLOYMENT
BILL VOTED DOWN

Washington, Feb. 19-(UP)-The
House Ways and Means Commit
tee today voted down President
Roosevelt'S request for a $500, 0O0.-
600 unemployment compensation
appropriation for workers who lose
their jobs through the conversion
of peacetime industries to war pro-
duction.
The committee voted l6 to 8
against the appropriation after less
than an hours elaboration. The re-
lection had been expected following
the opposition of state governors,
who feared that the legislation
might be the first step in federal
izing the unemployment compen-
sation system.
Committee members disclosed
that efforts by administration sup
porters to modify the program SO
that it would be acceptable by
majority of the committee were
over ridden.
