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."
