THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER l2r;182ll- PORTLAND. OREGOr?. G CAR PRICES HIT SLIDE T. P. A. CREDIT : . The Travelers : Protective ass relation In the Northwest claims credit for pre vailing lower dining- car prices. Under r the direction of Clyde Evans, aecretarr. ' aSOO members were on the, alert to -. hand train eating- costs a knockout. ' - They succeeded, too, says Evana, who '- kept close observation and made a re port. . A s yirt, he says, the price of a pot of coffee that had been SO cents was low- cred to 15 'cents on all -dining cars in th Northwest ' Second, the price of bread and batter dropped to 10 cents Where It had been IS., This was so encouraging that an other concerted effort brought still fur ther satisfactory results. General High Cost of Uving has retreated on all - tabie beverages to pre-war lines. Recently Secretary Evans was offi cially notified that baked potatoes had retreated from 20 and 25 cents to 15 cents. He is now going to lead the : attack on the price of Steaks, roast beef, spring chicken and other neces . saries of life. Evans Is en route to California to report upon the prices ; actually charged and the portlonals ac- ' tually saved. Upon his return about October 22 he will start further pro- ' ceedings for another general advance on high prices. .Of course the Travelers Protective ' - association members recognise that maintaining a hundred hotels on wheels is not all velvet.' The cost of service is ' of necessity much greater, and experts ;, . say r ft- amount to 29 cents per diner before said diner opens his napkin. This -would be smaller if prices attracted - imors customers, say the T. P. A. shock 7- troops. , , Of course the estimated percentage of service is 60 per cent of the prices charged, and there are many problems In connection with dining car service that do not enter Into that of merely . ' handling so many guests in a hotel that stays where it is put and does not have to- be caught on the wing with supplies. Medf orfl ;B apt ist :: C o n gr e g a t i o n; to Build BrictChnrcli .
