LABOR RESENTS CIRCULAR Fir Frice Official Hits Back After i Charges of Price- Rise of mr I'ood In Georgia. ; WASHINGTON. Jan. 31. (Special.) A sharp controversy between the department of labor and the depart ' ment of Justice has arisen over the latter department s campaign against the high cost of living. The depart ti ment of justice made public a tele . pram received three days ago from John A. Magnet, fair price commis eioner of the state of Georgia, pro "testing against recent figures from the labor department's statistical bu- reau tending to show an advance of i, the price of necessities. The Georgia s commissioner asks the department of justice to demand that the labor bu J reau "secure its information from a reliable source In the future. ', Joining in the labor department's eido of the controversy, statements were issued here tonight from the t. headquarters of the National Women's Trade Union league protesting to the , secretary of labor against what it - terms "department of justice anti- labor union propoganda." " Circular Are Target. The women's organizations quote . from circulars which they claim are eent out by Miss Edith Strauss, di Jj rector of women's activities in the p. department of Justice. "This is most definitely anti-union , labor propaganda," the statement " says, "and we protest most vigorously against the government trying to use f the women of the country in this " kind of a campaign under the pre- , tense of reducing the tngh cost of j living, using unsound and false argu .", ments. We ask that this propaganda be stopped at once; that all column- nications regarding it already sent out be' recalled and that this entire " anti-union labor programme be re "r pudiated by the government." ,. Georgian Answers Charge. From the fair price commissioner -, of Georgia comes a telegram to Howard Figg. special assistant to the attorney-general in charge of the high cost of living campaign, which says: "The statement attributed to th V statistical department of the burea ir. of labor claiming 4 per cent increase in the cost of necessities in Atlanta from November 15 to December 15 i absolutely untrue and a slander "against those responsible for regu .L lating prices here. During the pe- rlod named there was a slight In tL crease in eggs and butter and a mate - rial increase in sugar on account of "the near-famine. Everything else shows a decline." 50 FARMERS IN SCHOOL Wives Learn Homeraaklng While Men Study Farming at Alsea, AXRA. Or., Jan. 31. (Special.)
