I'm item after item of house furnish
ings, from sheets and blankets to fur

largest mail order houses display in
their successive catalogues charac-
teristic disappearance of the low-cost
items, usually after a substantial price
rise, accompanied by a shift to a
higher price line at inferior quality.

Cheap Items Disappear

1.-THE same held true for Montgomery
Ward. The cheaper blanket in the
SIS class rose to Sc between 1910 and
the spring of 1912, and then disap-
peared from the catalogue so that the
consumer was forced to buy the next
higher price lines, selling respectively
for $40 and SIS.
1.-THE same phenomenon has occurred
in furniture, accompanied by severe
declines in quality. Twin studio
couches first rose in price and then
disappeared from the catalogues in
1912 and 1943, to be replaced by one
piece double beds at even higher
prices.
The report adds:
$50 prevalent are upgrading, dis

terioration of quality that the Sept,

wife, because they've been used as the
basis for the wage increases permitted
under the Little Steel formula of the
War Labor Board.
At that, the Little Steel formula
doesn't even stack up to the SO per
cent wrong figure of the BIS, since
under Little Steel you're only supposed
to get IS per cent increase in wages
to take care of increased living costs.
Why is the BIS figure of 23.4 per
cent so far from reality? The joint
CIO-AFL report, prepared after pro-
longed study of the facts-a study that
began before the Presidential Commit
tee was set up-gives the reasons.
On food, for example, the BIS fig
ures show only 40.2 per cent in
crease, while the reality is 74.2 per
cent. How come? Figures, we're
told, don't leland this is not case
of liars figuring. It's simply mat
ter Of the way you 20 about getting
the evidence on which you base your
figures.
The BIS way is inadequate. To
begin with, it's limited only to GER
tain foods; many that count heavily
In the cost of living aren't included.
On the other hand, kind of double
play goes on between the foods the
BIS does cover and those that are
covered by price control.
Example: the BIS uses sugar to
rover all sweet products. Sugar Is
firmly price-controlled. Jams, jellies,
etc., which the BIS doesn't include In
its index, aren't firmly controlled, and
they're away up in cost as result.
Quality deterioration is another fac
tor the BIS leaves out of consideration.
Yet every housewife knows how shoddy
stuff mot only food, but clothing and
other things as. welD is now sold at
quality prices. Grade B eggs with a

"In furniture, quality deterioration
has been almost as extreme. The new
beds made with wooden springs are
high in price and low in quality. WPB
orders permitting the use of metal
in springs has not brought back pre-
war quality standards. Mattresses
are made with cotton, or cotton and
felt, instead of hair, with consequent
marked reduction in quality.
1.-THE quality of the wood used in fur
niture has deteriorated seriously: I'm
seasoned, green woods and even pack
ing box materials turn up in high
priced furniture sets. Here again the
worst quality depreciation has taken
place in the lower price brackets,
where good deal of the furniture sold
will probably be useless after the war;"

niture speciality stores, despite the
fact that the latter type Of outlets
handle three times the volume Of
the other stores.
1.-THE whole effect of this inadequate
sampling is to understate actual price
advances and to ignore hidden price
increases" the joint labor report de-
clares.
Quality deterioration is extreme.
Some items have had their disability
reduced by as much as 80 or IS per-
cent.
"Can openers are case in point.
Technicians interviewed for this report
stated that can openers now on the
market last only one or two weeks,
whereas before the war they could be
expected to last year or more.
Kitchen utensils Of all kinds are
high in price and are among the
most striking examples Of quality
deterioration. The concensus Of
opinion of technicians, manufac-
turers and trade journal experts
interviewed for this report is that
the range Of quality deterioration
i'm household items Excluding furni-
ture) ranges from Is to go percent,
with general agreement that an
overall figure Of 20 percent for the
field Is conservative.
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1944-02-14

Grade A price tag are prime example
of this.
The vanishing low-price article of
food, clothing and everything else is
also we'll known to every consumer.
Month after month, few and fewer low
cost goods can be found; you have to
move up into the next bracket to find
what you need.
The consumer knows this; but the
BIS doesn't, and that again helps to
make the 23.4 per cent figure shadow
of the real increase.
BIS reports are limited to a few
Of the largest cities ga on every
thing but food, for which the BIS
surveys 56). This means that the
index ignores the smaller "boom
towns" the suburbs, the outlying
areas that have mushroomed up with
war industry.
Then there is large group of mis-
cellaneous factors that the BIS Index
ignores almost completely in its find
ings, though they add up to consid-
cradle slice of the total increases in
living costs.
Black markets are implicitly
ignored, the BIS basing its action on
a report of the American Statistical
Association which blandly says that
they Should not be represented in an
official index of living costs"
Figures on black markets, of course,
are extremely difficult to secure; never
theless, as the CIO-AFL report points
out, they do increase the actual living
costs of workers."
Similarly ignored are wartime
changes in the way workers fam
lilies have to lay out their money;
items such as much larger purchases
of bakery products, jams and jellies,
etc; due to inability TO get sugar for
making them at home and lack of
time on the part of housewives.
The same is true of eating out.

BIS Survey Hoywire

In a special survey for the Presiden-

the organizations showed in detailed
fashion that the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics is completely haywire in its
estimate of a 27.8 percent average
price increase for such goods.
Just what has happened is told by

to measure their effect on prices.
1.-THE BIS admitted that lower
priced merchandise was continuing
to disappear and that in furniture
there was lowering of qualities But
these admissions-long known in the
trade--did not result in any attempt
to modify the Index so that it would
adequately reflect the major affects Of

pound blanket for $4.79. BY spring
of 1912, this cheap blanket, after
rising 20 cents In price, disappeared
from the catalogue.
Meantime, the next higher priced,
all-wool blanket, weighing A pounds,
rose In price from $7.48 In the fall
Of 1910 to 1878 In the spring of
1912, and was then slightly reduced
in price to $40 in the fall of 1943.
"Thus, the purchaser of the $4.79
blanket in 1910 and 1941, II he needs
q blanket, now has to buy one for
$40, an increase Of almost 100
percent. And at the same time, the
weight of this higher-prices blanket
was reduced from A pounds to 8

with mirrors; the OPA selects those
foods in the Index for special atten-
ton, ignoring the others. The BIS
Index doesn't cover them, so they
don't figure in the basis for the Little
Steel formula.
(The answer to this, of course, is not
less price control, but more, as the
joint labor report points out, as well
as more items in the Index.)
Then there's the matter of quality
deterioration-which means that you
get less for more money. This item,
familiar to every housewife, is almost
totally forgotten by the BIS. Accord
ing to the joint CIO-AFL study, this
alone accounts for a nine percent price
