Judge Alschuler's decision says: -Th ouestion of continuing the increase for the future is of course Important. Considering It only in its rh.tin to the cost of living, the prices of those great basic staples which enter so largely into food and clothing values have for many weeks been declining most sharply. It is true that retail prices have not yet taken the downward course to nearly the same degree and in some instances not at all. A frequent pretext is the claim of being stocked up with the goods at the higher prices, although in most instances the possession of goods at low prices was no bar, when wholesale prices advanced, to raising at once the goods on hand, with a good profit on the advance itself, (onuumrr Still Victim. "It is no doubt true that the ulti mate consumer is still the victim of many unconscionable exactions. Coal prices to the user seem to be ridic ulously and inexcusably high, and likewise in many cases, rent. But notwithstanding all this, the authori tative reports, as well as common ex perience, seem to indicate a quite pro gressive recession in cost of living. This tendency to my mind strongly foreshadows continuing and substan tial price declines. Being so convinced I would not be justified in now fix ing for the future higher wage rates based upon past or prospective crease in living costs." in- ROSEBURS JOINS FIGHT ABOIJTIOX OF PUBLIC SERV ICE COMMISSION URGED.
