Rising Living Costs

versus wage increases ever present in the current spot light, still present a gloomy prospect as the contest con- tinues with workers thus far on the losing side.
 According to a statement from the OPA labor office at Washing ton, half of the 4O,OOO,OOO Ameri- can workers outside of agriculture are worse off fi1ancially than they were before the World War broke out in Europe four years ago. These 20,0OO,OOO have either re- ceived no increase in wages dur ing the four-year period or their rise in earnings has Jagged be- hind the galloping cost of living. The other 20,000,OOO, the report de- clared, are able to keep pace with skyrocketing prices only by toil- ing long hours of overtime.
 These statements from the Of- flee of Price Administration sub-
 
 stantiate claims which the AFL has been making over a period of months in their endeavor to bring about some reasonable degree of equity between wartime earnings and essential expenditures.
 President Roosevelt, who has previously promised relief on this score, again committed the admin istration in letter of greeting to the AFL convention, in which he included this statement, C. We anticipate good deal of success in the rollback of prices which will stabilize and reduce the cost of liv- ing in essentials. For this the in- formed cooperation of all your members is needed"

Chesapeake City
Bridge Work
Deferred

Army engineers OF the Philada.
district, have indicated that no bridge
will be built across the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal at Chesapeake
City until after the war. because OF
the scarcity of critical materials.
The bridge, which was one of the
important Inks in transportation in
the Chesapeake City area, was de-
stroyed in the summer of 1912 by
a tanker that crashed into one of the
piers.
Although Army engineers have held
hearings and discussions on the type
of bridge that would be suitable fol-
Chesapeake City, they have just re-
vealed that all plans have been pig
eon-holed until after the war.
This means that the town will con.
tinue to be divided by the canal and
will also mean the continuance of the
ferry service.
