Stevenson Hit
Living
BY GARRETT D. HoRNER

BY GARRETT ID. HORNER
Secretary of Labor Mitchell
says Adlai Stevenson simply
doesn't know what he's talking
about" in regard to the cost OF
living.
Mr.. Mitchell issued his blast
late yesterday, after comforting
at the White House with Pres
ident Eisenhower. His blistering
statement challenged Mr.. Stew
enson's assertion at Indianapolis
that living costs have reached an
all-time high under the Eisen-
hover administration.
The Labor Secretary told
newSmen the Democratic pres
idential candidate was lin error
in saying that food costs are
higher now than in 1852. Actu-
ally, Mr.. Mitchell said food
prices are now down 3 per cent
from the all-time high reached
in August, 1852, during the Tru-
man administration.
Cites Earlier so Pet. Rise
He conceded the overall cost
of living index is at an all-time
high now. But he emphasized
that it has gone up only 2.5 per
cent since January, 1858, as COM
pared to so per cent under the
Truman administration from
1945 to 1852.
"Never in the 35-year history
of the cost of living index" Mr.,
Mitchell said, 'have consumer
prices been so stable for so long
a tint as they have in the last
So years.
The Labor Secretary also in
sisted that you can not talk
about prices without talking
about wages" He said wages o1
factory workers are at a record
level high. And he emphasized
that "real wageS-the take-home
pay of factory workers adjusted
for cost of living and after pay
ment of Federal taxes-have
gone UP 712 per cent since
January, 1858, when President
Eisenhower too Office"

examples, among others.
In 1852 a factory worker haC

In 1852. 81 minutes of work
