Meat Price Boosts
Make Scales Obsolete

New York-Meat prices have
gone so high they have run
right over the top of the COM
puted price charts found on
scales used by butchers to de-
termine how much money should
be jerked out of the hands of
the consuming public.
To alleviate this tragic situ-
alton for retail meat markets,
the Toledo Scale Company has
jumped into the breach and will
produce a new model scale
which will have 900 per cent
more and higher prices compu-
tations.
In announcing the new post
war models, the company said
the scales will provide 70 prices
per pound and furnish $4,000
price characters on the new price
computation chart, or $4,000
more than the pre-war charts.
If the present trend keeps up,
they'd better start working on
a new attachment for the scale,
a ladder!

They are getting worse every day.
"The cost of living is now higher

To stop the soaring cost of liv-

1. An excess profits tax to pro
vide a brake on initiation.
2. Restoration of consumer credit
controls.
3. Regulation of inflationary
bank credit.
A. Regulation of speculation on
the commodity exchanges.
5. ALLEGATION and inventory con-
troll of scarce commodities.
6. Strengthening of rent controls.
7. Rationing Of products in short
supply which virtually affect the
health and welfare of our people.
8. Price controls for scarce COM
modities which "basically affect es-
sential industrial production or the
cost of living" and authority to
limit wage adjustments which
would force a break in the price
ceiling, except where necessary ito
remedy hardship, to correct inequi-
ties, or to prevent an actual low
ering of living standards"

housing bill, Mr.. Truman said:
"We desperately need more hous-

families of moderate income, par
ticularly veterans families, can af-
ford to pay. We are not getting it..
"Most of the housing now being
built is for sale, or for rent, at

abundance of clothing are general
ly heading toward the prewar level,
with quality rising most quickly in
the more plentiful and standardized
products, according to report on
postwar changes in apparel quality
in the July issue of the Monthly
Labor Review, official publication
of the Bureau Of Labor Statistics.
Thus, although clothing prices
have scared skyward, the consumer
is beginning to get more value for
each dollar spent.
Better grade wooden fabrics, the
report said, were among the first tc
make an appearance on the market
after the lifting of wartime restric-
tions, resulting in a sharp slump
in the demand for blended wool fab
rics used during the war.
By March, 1947, when a balance
in the demand and supply of wool
fabrics had been reached, manu-
facturers began to reject woolen
goods having imperfections for the
first time in five years. In the last
few years there has been an in
tensification of research relating
to shrinkage control and washable
ity Of these fabrics, the report
pointed out.
Although consumer pressure
speeded reconversion from substan-
dard wartime cotton constructions,
the emphasis from quantity to quail
ity in that industry was not shift
ed until early this year, because Of
the enormous backlog Of civilian
demand and increased exports.
Now, however, the study revealed,
with the increased use Of combed
cotton yarn, and dress and shirt
Ing fabrics Of better quality, pre-
war standards are gradually being
restored. However, with an eye to
housewife preferences for color
fast and nonshrinking fabrics, an
expert in laundering research, the
report said, recently warned that
1.-The consumer has built up tre-
mendous head Of steam against
shady high-priced merchandise"
and urged the industry to return
as quickly as possible to prewar
quality attitudes.
