Prices Run Wild
Continued from PaRe

on July 10.
Rises of so per cent in retail
prices of beef and 80 per cent in
pork were forecast by OPA
economists, with the expectation
that prices would level off at 20
to 25 per cent of their former
level.
Cotton prices continued to
shoot up to their daily limit on
the cotton exchanges each day,
foreshadowing price boosts for
all cotton products.
Leather prices were boosted
20 to 80 per cent above the old
ceilings, and already manufac-
turers were asking 8 to 9 per
cent more for some shoe lines.
AS for the overall indexes
that measure important seq
mentS of goods, the Bureau of
Labor Statistics index of whole
sale prices for basic commodi-
ties had gone up 4 per cent in
the first 13 days after OPA
ended. Recent price increases
at wholesale have not yet been
reflected in retail markets for
the most part" BIS pointed
out.
Prices of milk sold through
grocery stores advanced in IL
of the IL cities surveyed follow
ing the removal of subsidies on

Washington milk prices rose "a

opening talk, Gosser told the
large throng that the time had
come for the workers to demand
that the Congress act for the
people who elected them to office
and that they should put stop
to the wild upsurge in prices OF
the things which are essential to
life itself.
Director Gosser assured the
audience that if this demonstra-
ton did not bring results there
would be other rallies to follow
and that they would be nation
wide. In his attack on Congress
man Homer A. Ramey, Gosser
said, Homer Ramey, you'd bet
ter vote the right way this time
or your $4,000 a year job will
be ended come the election. "
The speaker. by this statement,
meant the OPA debate which is
being staged at present in the
House of Representatives at
Washington.
Rent Advice
The people who have had
their rent raised were told by
Director Gosser to pay no more
than the ceiling set by OPA and
that if they were ordered evicted
he would organize Flying
to see that they
would be able to remain in their
homes.
The first speaker on the pro-
gram was Carl Fox, national re-
of the MESA who
asked the people present to sign
petitions being circulated for the
return of OPA and the establish
ment of price control.
Thousands of placards were
in evidence displayed by the de-
urging the con-
sumers not to buy anything
which was not absolutely neces-
sary and to denounce the prof
iteers and those responsible for
the ending of OPA. The senti-
ments carried on some OF the
cards read as follows, eve Want
OPA;" Where Has Our 18 Cent
Raise Gone?" "Unioneers Fight
and Were Not
Buying Till Prices Stop Flying. "

the slaughter houses and mea'
processing plants and the mea'
shortage looks like it is about a
an end.
Livestock dealers and farmers
who had been holding their
stock for prices are now riding
the crest of the inflationary
wave which has set in since
Congress refused to give the
country price control legislation
which means anything. Every
body is unloading, but fast.
What About Prices
In short time,. the supply of
livestock which is finding its
way to the markets is going to
force down prices unless the
meat packing industry shows
concern in governing the mar
ket and is able effectively to
regulate prices by control over
supply. -
What is now true of meat will
be true of other, crops when
they have been harvested. Food
professors are going to have a
magnificent crop this fall, and
unless they create an artificial
shortage, food prices will come
tumbling. This, of course, being
contingent upon good growing
weather, crop damage from
storms and other factors over
which the farmers have no con-
troll.
Wages Will Rise
After talking with farmers,
stock raisers, workers and busi-
nessmen in a number of towns
through which we travelled.
a g r e e m e n t was practically
that unless competi-
ton was maintained and the
country allowed to benefit by
the bumper crops of meat and
farm crops ~ force down prices,
that labor will again be on the
march demanding higher wages
10 meet the increased cost of
living.
One thing is obvious every
initiation is here and it
will continue unless some dras-
lie steps are taken, either di-
'ectly by the people themselves,
oy restraining their purchases to
absolute necessities, which is
hardly likely, or by the govern
nent to prevent runaway infla-
ion.
Politics Plays Part
Politics too is playing its part
n the present situation with the
republicans working for infla-
ion in order to pin it on the ad-
niristration and the Democrats
plit because of their geo.
economic interests.
Out here, there is a lot of talk

Plans for a 4-story building contemplated by the Central La- bor Council are taking shape and G. A. Robinson, president of the body, devoted part of;his time on his recent trip to Seattle to prep arations for he building.
 On his return he said plans for financing the structure are start ed and that investigation into the materials situation indicates a tight" market on the latter. The projected building, 1t is reported, is to be built on land owned by the Central Labor Council, at the corner of Alaska Way and Brooklyn avenue, now occupied only by small buildings of the military police unit.
 Tentatively the new building is to have full basement for storage and heating; street floor containing space for 5 stores; a second story for apart ments; and a third story for un- ion quarters and offices.
 Before the war a nation wide campaign was undertaken for contributions to build a Labor Temple on the sight, but the plans fell through when the Inon- ey raised by a letter campaign was no more than enough to meet the drive expenses.

Speaker Tells Of Japs At Kodiak

The eally days of the war in this area. when Jap submarines patrolled off Kodiak island and one stuck it's periseope up near Cape Chiniak, were recalled in a speech given Tuesday before the Rotary club by Capt. Jim s Russell. Captain Russell was with the military board visiting this area.
 During the early days of the war he had the first and only plane squadron in the Aleutians and af CT service there was trans ferred to Washington and later to the South Pacific and Hono- lulu.
 After the war he had the op- portunity of visiting Japan with a Naval intelligence unit to study the Aleutian campaign from Jap anese records.
 He said nothing was found to indicate that Kodiak was to be bombed at the time of the Dutch Harbor raid, but that submarines patrolled this area constantly just after the war started. one doing periscope reconnaissance off Cape Chiniak.
 One contact report of a Jap sub at that time concerned a large transport stopping at Kodiak, now believed to be the U. s. s Grant, the same boat used for the evacuation of women and children from the base.
 Capt. Russell re-traced the en- tire Aleutian campaign from re- connaisance of Dutch Harbor by Jap planes sent from subs in the Boring Sea, to the evacuation of $500 Jap troops Tn 55 minutes from Kiska harbor by ? Jap cruisers and 10 destroyers.
 Guests at the luncheon includ. ed It. Comdl. V. w. Marsh, Glenn Huff, surplus property of ficer, and Jack Molyneaux, sales. man.

dramatists were and 1t Is doubtful
