pre-war profit on bread and that they

tailer which shall ba greater than 1
cents for tha 1 -ounce loaf of bread

Under agreement with Ibe food ad
ministrators, ths bakers of the three
states had adopted for a 4-day period
the wholesale prices of 7 4 cents for
the lt-ouuce loaf and 11 cents for the
H-ounce loaf. They represented to the
conference that bread could not be pro
duced at these prices, after fair triaV
and ajkfd for relief.
Retail Price C kaaged.
The retail loaf la now selling; for I
and 13 cents. It is optldnal with all
bakers whether ar not they return to
the prices fixed aa maximum by the
conference, but It is pointed out tha
the difference between this wholesale
price and the prevailing retail price
still leaves a margin of profit.
The retail price of bread waa not
touched upon by tha administrators.
and retailers must decide for them
selves whether tha publla is to bear th
increase or they are to be content with
a lesser profit. It Is tha opinion of th
food administrators that the retail

"Keller for the bakers was lmpera

absolutely Impossible for them, to con
tinue making bread at the former price.

rRAILROAD' NOT NECESSARY
Mr. Wpntworth Reports AgnlnstPro
posed Construction on .Siuslaw.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Feb. 6. Lloyd J. Wentworth in
a telegram to Representative, Kawley
says there is no present necessity for
building a spur railroad rrom cusnman
to Florence in orders to facilitate ship
building at the mouth of tha Siuslaw
River. ' - -
Mr. Wentworth says there is abund
ant lumber and labor at Florence to
enable private capital to build at least
six wooden ships if the Shipping Board
determine to resume wood construction
and the present lumber mills now idle
are adequate to cut lumber for this
number of ships.
A spur railroad such as Mr. Hawley
recommended to Railway Director Mc
Adoo would cost $100,000 and require
at least four months to build, und the
necessity for it, in Wentworth's
opinion, will not develop until Siuslaw
district undertakes ship construction
on a large scale.
