Factors Entering into Iliv.ul
Making Still Mm-h ALovi-Pre-war
Lewi, Says Ma:
rhersou ,
f Good wapes for the bakers. high
coBt of flour and sugar and a bread
law enacted during Hie war requir
ing all bread loaves to be ono pound
in weight 2-1 hours after baking, are
tJk the causes entering info the cost of
bread today which makes it impos-
wine to reduce the price ut this
time, according to John C. Mael'her
Bon, of MacPherson's bakery.
"Bofore the war flour solK at
$4.50 a barrel and sugar sold at
$4.50 a liundied pounds. Today
Hour sells at $8.50 a barrel ami t,ug
ar at J8 a sack," Mr. Macl'herson
. declared today in discussing the cost
of making bread and other baked
goods.
1 llefore the war we scaled our
bread to 12 ounces before baking,
and now we must scale it to 18 oun
ces in order to meet the require
ments of the bread law that iciiires
the bread to be one pound in weight
24 hours after baking. Mem-h bands
received $18 ae week before the war
and today 1 haven't a baker who isn't
receiving less than $45 a week wag
es. So you can see that everything
catering into our costb has increased
In price."
In discussing the price or bread In
Washington and oilier , slates where.
It has been repotted that bread is
being reduced in price, Mr. MacIMier-
80 n called attention to the abseiicl
of a bread law in those stales. In I
Rome places, lie said; loaves were In
Ing scaled Into the pun liTn an"
pound In weight, whierT would ineitn
still less weight when the bread
baked and a day old.
The inanufaciurers can set their
own weight in places where there -hi
no bread law( and (hero are bread
laws in only two or three slates, but
, in Oiegon the housewife is always
assured of a uniform size loaf weigh
ing a pound, even though she ninyjpjveu at Eagles'
have to pay a cent or two more per
loaf. n
