SALE
Bread and its latest Increase in
price received the attention 01 m
Housewives' council yesterday. Alter
two hours of badinage and argument
on the part of representatives of the
bakers and housewives, the organiza
tion gave its indorsement to a reso
lution prepared by Mrs. George L. Wil
liams asking the fair-price commit
tee to enforce the present eight-cent
wholesale figure on pound loaves.
The women, highly incensed be
cause Mayor Baker did not place a
woman on the municipal bread in
vestigation committee, adopted a mo
tion asking that a member of the
housewives' council be appointed to
serve in this capacity.
Kred Vincent was the principal
epeaker in behalf of the Master Bak
ers association, presenting figures
chowlng that on the Pacific coast
bakery labor is higher than anywhere
else and maintaining that small bak
eries that can afford to sell bread
at less than nine cents are not ab
solutely clean places. This last as
sertion was challenged by btanley
Wright, deputy city attorney, who
eaid city hall officials are constantly
receiving complaints of over-inspec
tion.
Law Enforcement Promised.
"The city is interested in this
bread," he said, "and intends to en
force its ordinance relating to com
bines if it is found that the responsi
bility for raising the price can be
laid to one. We are going to find
out just to what extent the bakers
are being squeezed, as they say they
are. The United States attorney also
is interested in knowing this, as it
would affect interstate shipments."
Housewives who called up a num
ber of bakers yesterday in an effort
to find out how general the price in
crease is, said there is apparently
much brotherly love among the bak
ers, as only two out of about every
15 were not raising. One woman was
told by the proprietor of a bake shop,
"Why, yes, of course we're adding a
cent on the loaf. All the others are
doing it, so why shouldn't we?"
One Raker Not Ralxlnic.
A baker sent in a written notice
saying that he had not raised his
price and does not consider it neces
sary. He maintains that all of the
bakers stocked up on flour for two
months in advance.
Mr. Vincent based his argument on
the recent boost in flour and said
bakers are not stocked up for more
than three to five weeks.
J. O. Wright, superintendent at the
Log Cabin bakery, answered all ques
tions put to him.
"You don't want the bakeries to
sacrifice quality for a little matter
of 1 cent." he said. "We could buy
cheaper flour and deliver bread un
wrapped if you want us to, but you
demand the highest quality.
This increase would have come re
gardless of the flour rise and yet
wheat foods continue the cheapest
foods on the market today."
Bakera Alao Have Cnmplnl.t.
Bakers, as well as housewives, had
complaint to make concerning the
mayor's selection of his investigating
committee. "We would feel much
more satisfied if one of the members
were a certified accountant who
would look into the books of each
concern and yet not publish these
findings among the bakers," said Mr.
Wright.
, Mrs. Williams produced two loaves
of bread, both wrapped in waxed
paper, one a bakery product and the
other from her own kitchen. She had
figures to show that the home-made
loaf cost 6 2-3 cents. "Maybe it was
not put out under scientific enough
conditions to suit Mr. Vincent, she
remarked, "but it's good broad. I
have worked It out myself and I be
lieve the bakers will be getting J1.35
barrel more than the cost of their
Xlour with the increased price."
Argument Is Answered.
Vincent pointed out that the home
made loaf did not represent one cent
invested in equipment, delivery or
labor.'
"If you could produce bread whole
sale at 7 or 8 cents," he said, "I could
get you a job managing most any
bakery in town."
"No thanks, Mrs. Williams snapped,
"'I don't care to mix in with the bakers."
When inquiry was made as to how
much profit the local bakeries are ex
tracting from the business their rep
resentative declared they are losing
money.
"That is a curious situation, chal
lenged Mrs. F. O. Northrup. "Is it the
custom of banks to loan money to
business firms that are losing propo
sitions? And yet you say you have no
difficulty in obtaining funds from
them for factory additions. I'm not
convinced yet and neither are these
other women. If you can show us
you're justified, we're willing to pay
the price, but we ve got to Know more
about it."
The only other matter taken up was
the election of Mrs. C. L. Barber as
recording secretary to fill the vacancy
created by the resignation of Mrs.
F. P. Gillmore.
FOREST PATROLS CONFER
State, Federal, Indian, Private In
terests to Co-operate.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 28. (Special.)
Implication of energy and expense in
patroling the Oregon forests is to be
eliminated through the co-operation
of state, federal, Indian and private
agencies, according to F. A. Klliott,
state forester, who returned today
from Klamath Falls, where he at-
ttnded a conference of the fire patrol
interests.
Under the new plan of operation.
the several agencies will be kept ad
vised of what the other is doing along
rire patrol lines, thereby reducing the
expense and increasing the efficiency
of the several departments engaged
In the work.
It is Mr. Klliott's opinion that next
summer will witness the extension of
the airplane forest fire patrol to all
sections of the Pacific coast, as well
as to some of the most heavily tim
bered districts of the middle west.
