FEBSUASIOX FAILS TO CUT BBEAD PBICES; SO U. S. 1YILL USE FORCE, ' ' . . j (By Harry Hunt in Raleigh New and Observer.) Washington, Oct. 16. The baking industry Is to be taken in hand by the local merchant insisted that he the government and forced to behave, would have to - write a check as he The big bakers have rejected all had no cash. . The check was written offers of the food administration to aud handed over. Just as . soon as co-operate voluntarily in bringing j Hendersonvile was reached the pay down .prices. They have hampered nient on the check was held up. La every eifort of the government to gefe : te revidence proved that the men at the real cost and profits. The gov- I were only working a game on the ernment has decided to temporize no i travelers an dthat there was no such longer with them, but to force them i to operate under government license, with strict limitations as to profit. Examination of baking company records, and actual baking tests by the government itself, prove the pub lic is being held up when it is charg ed 10 cents for a 14 or 16-ounce all wheat vloaf. 9 With the baking industry under license the price reduction to be required will approximate 25 per cent. This probably will be secured through the standardization of a 20- ounce ioar to retail fo 10 cents, pro viding 25 .per cent more bread for the same price. It is believed the larg er loatwill be more satisfactory than maintaining the pound standard and fixing the price at an odd figure such as 8 cents. The extent to which the bakers have gone in opposing government ctmirai is snown. Dy the following lnr si th. ..i sent out a story showing that on cords , submitted by bakers them selves, the cost of ingredients enter ing into a one-pound white loaf, re tailing at 10 cents, was but 4.12 cents. This. figure under ordinary practice, the story stated, was doubled to cover cost, of baking, distributing and over head expense. The . Bakers' Publicity Bureau at once began a campaign to offset the effect of this story, Personal letters were sent to editors and matter was enclosed which editors were asked to run-' . i i .xbmn it may be interesting to reveal the results shown in exhaustive baking tests just concluded by the govern ment. These tests, made on six formuals submitted by baking experts, show that with flour at Its present price on the, open market, the cost of ingre dients in a one-pound wheat loaf is not at the bakers' figures Indicated 4.12 cents, but from 3.44 cents to 3.73 cents per loaf. In these tests formulas were sub mitted by the War Emergency Coun cil of the Baking Industry; the Bu reau of Chemistry of the Agricultural Department; Benjamin R. Jacobs, bread expert for the Food Adminis tration; the Washburn-Crosbv Co.. miners; me American in . . stores nisr JjJSJllJS..i:"o 1- ln-JtiBce a, a lieutenant vr., OOI, CAyCl Ut The costs of. ingredients per loaf from these formulas were, respective ly; 3.49 cent. 3.52 cents, 3.48 cents, 3.71 cents, 3.73 cents ad 3.44 cents. From 200 pounds of flour, the weight of bread produced under each formula was: 286, 291, 289, 291, 288 and 284 pounds. The water neces sary for mixing the dough furnished the additional weight." On the basis of these tests, fortified by figures gathered by the Federal Trade Commission, the Food Admin istration feels It Is proceeding .upon firm ground In decided to use the powers granted under tjhe food bill to limit bakers' profits. .- One instance of how profits have been Inflated is the practice of doub ling the cost of Ingredientsto deter mine the cost of production and dls tributionl This method wfes adop ed back in the days when bakers were paying from $4.50 to $5 per barrel for flour. With flour at $10.50 a barrel, however, this method of computation returns an excessive profit .the gov ernment holds. AT THE FIRST BAPTIST " - CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY. Rev W. Cawthon, Pastor.
