Hritaln HuroWt Hit
Philadelphia. July 25.-The cost
of living is likely to atay high for
a long time to come In the opinion
of the Philadelphia Board of Trade.
This view Is a result of a compilation
of statistics from many lines of
trade and Industry.
According to these figures the ad
vance In prices In this country since
1914 has been about 107 per cent, in
Canada 115 per cent; Great Britain
133 per cent and France 235 oer
cent. It is pointed out that. In suite
of .material reductions In the price
of steel, the advance In other com
modities since the armsitlce has been
so great that the average price
schedules have been reduced but
5.7 per cent below prices prevailing
October 1, 191S.
The following are riven as reasons
why wages will not be mnch less for
a considerable period of time.
Practical stoppage of Immigration
since 1914, depriving this country of
several millions of workers who
would normally have come to u and
thus have relieved the labor short
age which confronts American in
dustry upon the resumption of ca
pacity operations.
Retention In the government mili
tary service of nearly 2,000,000 work
era, which, it Is declared will doubt
less continue an indefinite period.
Creation of new industries such
as shipbuilding, manufacture of
chemicals and dyes.
, Trgent demand for building and
construction of every class due to
their having been forcibly he'4 bak
ior several years.
Shortage of world food sunolles
and uniformly high prices.
Proiortlontely higher levels of
commodity prices existing through
out Europe.
