Cost-of-Livine Study
Backs Index But WAGE
Policy Is Unsettled
By the Associated Press.

The CIO, severe critic of the
Governments cost-of- Living index,
took comfort today from a new
committee analysis of the index,
although the committees report on
the whole supported the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, which complies the
index.
This apparent paradox is SEEM
ingly explained by the fact that
labor leaders and the statistics
bureau have been talking about two
different things when they wrangled
about "the cost of living" Still
unsolved Is the policy question
whether the index or some other
standard is to be used as basis for
justifying or refusing general wage
increases. -
Appointed by Davis.
The committee. headed by Prof.
Wesley C. Mitchell of Columbia
University, was appointed by Will
liam H. Davis, chairman OF the
Presidents Cost-of-Living Commit
tee, to make technical analysis OF
the index.
The Mitchell committee said the
Bureau of Labor Statistics had per-
formed competent job but sug-
gested less misleading name for
the index. The bureau has agreed
the title is not precise, but 1t Is the
one used by all but two countries
which compile such indexes.
The report also said that If 1t is
possible and financially practical to
measure all the factors critically
put forward in an AFL-CTO report,
no more than three to five percent
age points would be added to the
index. compared with the disparity
of 20 points claimed by the labor
leaders.
Finally, said the Mitchell Com
mittee, "the widespread opinion that
the business index grossly under
states the rise In cost Of living is
justified, If cost of living is taken
to mean the amount of money a
family spends for the commodities
and services it buys"
Labor Findings Condensed.
This" commented r. ]. Thomas.
CIO member of the Cost OF Living
Committee, is precisely what labor
means in it's findings that living
costs have risen more than 43 per
cent since January, 1941." He said
the report confirms the basic find-
ings of labor"
But, the Mitchell group pointed
out, the index does not attempt to
measure the fun cost of living. ITO
most people cost of living means
the amount of money a family
spends. If it buys more food and
finer clothes or moves to a roomler
home. its cost. of living goes up.
But that is not the kind of index
the bureau makes, and this COM
mittee does not think it should now
change its aim.
THE index relates only to families
living in cities of considerable size,
and only to urban families that work
for their living. 8. 1t Is mis-
used also when it is applied to con-
sumers at large"

M(HS Wins
Of

Cont High Man
For Season; Coach
Sees Bright Future

With the seasons basketball
schedule played through, a raw
and inexperienced Bather quin-
tet participated in II official
tits, and emerged victorious IN
only one fourth of the games, it
was revealed today as final fig
ures were tabulated by Coach
Roy Quinn.
At the start of the season,
Quinn began with almost an en-
tirely green squad. 1t was hard
work for new coach TO take
the helm and break in a fresh
squad. Also contributing to the
weakness of M. c. II. S. was the
lack of poise or confidence in the
players. Height also handicap
ped the Bather quintet.
Highlighting the few victories
by the M. c. H: S. squad was
the defeat of Crosse Pointe by
1929 point margin.
Peters, forward, will grad
uate in June, but the loss will
not be felt too severely as most
of the remaining players will
stay in the lineup next season.
"Stubby" Quinn stated that
the chances for the coming year
will be excellent having built
a foundation on which improve
ment, determination, and the
aggressiveness will play major
part. The team is now aware
of its main faults and these will
be amended through constant
practise.
Outstanding players of the
season were Peters, who is grad
uating, and Cont, a promising
figure for next year, and high
