A REDUCTION IN PRICE MADE TODAY Consumers to Get Some Benefit From the Fall in Flour. PRICES IN OTHER CITIES The price of bread in the District of Coiumbia has been reduced. Hereafter a loaf of bread will cost the consumer 4 cents instead of 5, as hereto- fore. The bakers claim that there will be no reduction in the quality or weight of the bread to correspond with the lessened cost. This victory for the people 1s one of no mean proportions. For some time past The Star has been agitating the matter and in- sisting that with the price of flour lower than it had ever been before there was no sense or justice in keeping up the price of the manufactured article. The bakers in- sisted that it was impossible to lower the price, as it would cut off the profit, and that with bread at 4 cents a loaf they might as well shut up their shops. Just the same, bread is selling today for 4 cents a loaf and up to the time of going to press ‘The Star has not heard of any shops going into bankruptcy. It is essentially a benefit te the laboring classes and for poor people. People of means who buy their fiour by the barrel and make thelr own bread at home have had the benefit of the low price of the product of the mills, but those other people, the people whose wherewithal to live comes in day by day as they work for it, and sometimes with not so much regularity, those people are forced to buy the staff of life as they need it, and they have been paying the same price as they used to when the price of flour was double what it is now. It is in a sense a victory for The Star, for without the insistent war The Star has made about the matter there is no reason to believe that bread would have gone down. The natural presumption is that they would have been willing to pocket the extra profits that accrued from the reduction in tae price of the raw material. But there is no need for going into that at this time. The fact still remains that the people are so much better off today than they were yesterday. ‘The change went into effect this morning. At an Informal meeting of the boss bakers last evening it was unanimously de- cided to lower the price. Grocers and other retailers who had occasion to buy their bread from the wholesale dealers and man- ufacturers found that @ change had come in the night, and that they could get their bread at wholesale for 3 cents a loaf, with the understanding that they would retail it at an advance of 1 cent. The retail price from the bakers is also 4 cents. It is impossible, of course, to state how long this schedule will prevail, but in all probability it will be as long as the cost of flour remains where it is. One of the boss bakers, and one of the most prominent and active men in the business, said to a Star reporter that there would not be the slight- est change in the quality or quantity of the article, “How long do you suppose bread will stay at its present price?” asked the Star man. “That I do not know,” answered the baker, curtly, “but until such time as we are compelled to raise it.” However, the price of bread is down to 4 cents today. Bread in Other Cities. Not only is Washington to have cheaper bread, but the agitation here has awakened other communities to the fact that, through their own indifference, perhaps, they are continuing to pay as much for bread as when flour cost nearly twice as much as at present. The agitation carried on in The Star, and which has been successful in se curing to the people the benefit of some pro- portion of the reduction in the price of flour, has been taken up in St. Louis and Chicago and other cities. The result may be that in every city in the land the peo- ple will get cheaper bread. Star correspondents have investigated the price of bread and the conditions attend- ing its production in various cities, and the results are given below. Minneapolis’ Good Record. Correspondence of The Evening Star, MINNEAPOLIS, October 23, 1894. Minneapolis has an ordinance regulating the weight and manufacture of bread ex- posed for sale in the city. Connected with the health departn:ent is a bread inspector, who enforces every provision of the ordi- nence to the letter, It is ordered that every single loaf of bread shall not weigh less than sixteen ounces and every double loaf not less than thirty-two ounces, Any baker may, however, supply to his customers any desired shape or weight of loaf over one pound, provided the weight of the loaf 1s stamped thereon. The ordinance further provides that upon every loaf there shall appear a legible stamp, tag or impression, with the name and business address of the baker. Other sections of the same law pro- vide for clean premises, wholesome ingre- dents, &c. For violation of any portion of the ordinance the offender may be sen- tenced to pay a fine not exceeding $100 or to imprisonment in the work house not ex- ceeding ninety days. The price-in this city varies from 2 to 5 cents per loaf, the’ former being one-pound loaves and the output of the lower class of bakeries, while the 5-cent loaves generally weigh from twenty to twenty-two ounces, and are of the most desirable quality. ‘The wages of journeymen bakers range from $9 to four times that amount, but the average good man will earn from $14 to $20 per week. ‘There has been a decided reduction in the retail price of bread in the past three years, ‘The prevailing price three years ago for ali kinds of bread, good and bad, was 5 cents per loaf, and nearly every loaf was from two to’ four ounces under weight. The poorer kinds of bread have been reduced in price to 2 and 3 cents, and while the finer kinds cannot be bought any cheaper, the loaves have been increased from 65 to 80 per cent in size. The reduction in the price of flour has certainly been responsible for the reduction in price of bread and the increase in the size of the loaves, as men- tioned above. Bakers in this city figure that flour 1s fully 33 per cent of the cost of making bread, and a reduction in the cost of this ingredient has the tendency to re- duce the cost of the bread, Four Cents in Alexandria. Correspondence of ‘The Evening Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va., October 24, 1804, ‘The regulation weight of a loaf of bread in this city as required by law 1s sixteen ounces, after baking, and this is the weight sold by all bakers for 4 cents per loaf. The rates for journeymen bakers run from seven to nine dollars per week. There has been no reduction in the retail price of bread within the last three years on ac- count of the reduction in the price of flour. Agitation Needed in Boston, Correspondence of The Evening Star. BOSTON, October 23, 1894, In Massachusette the loaf of bread has not diminished in price with the fall in the cost of flour, nor has the legal weight of the loaf been increased. In fact, there has been no legislation on the matter of bread since the seventies, and the law stands today as it did fifteen years ago. The regulations as to the weight of a loaf of bread are as fol- lews: Revised Statutes, chap. 60, sec. 3.—A loaf of bread for sale shall be two pownds in weight. Bread, except that composed in chief part of rye or maize, shall be sold in whole, half, three-quarter and quar- ter loaves, but not otherwise. Sec. 4. In every shop or place where bread is sold by retail, and in each front window thereof, there shall be conspicuously placed a card, on which shall be legibly printed a list of the difterent kinds and qualities of loaves sold there, with the price of each by the loaf, and by the half, three-quarter and quarter loaf. Sec. 5. Bread, when sold, shall be weighed in presence of the buyer, and Uf found de- 9 ficient in weight, bread shall be added to the legal weight. Whoever violates any of the pro- of the three preceding sections forfeit $10 for each offense, to be recovered on~complaint of indictment to the use of the party suing thereof. Sec. 7. The four preceding sections shall not apply to rolls or to fancy bread weigh- ing less than one-quarter of a pound. It is safe to say that most of the above Provisions would be news to the majority of Boston bakers, and certainly sections 4 and 5 are absolute dead letters. There are no cards, as above described, in the bakers’ windows, and if a dealer were to welgh bread in the presence of customers before selling it, he would break down the pre- sumption of honesty and make them sus- picious at once, There may have been in- stances since the law was enacted, where the forfeit of $10 for each violation has been exacted, but few people, even in the trade, recall them. As a matter of fact, bakers have run the thing about as they pleased, pd the simple reason that the public, indif- ferent and uninformed, have not insisted upon the requirements provided by law. The loaf of bread, as commonly under- stood, is more often the half or one-pound loaf than the legal two-pound loaf. The two-pound loaf is usually sold in two one- pound sections, The regular retail price of the one-pound or half loaf is 5 cents, and any variations from that figure are merely concessions to special customers or classes of customers, There cannot fairly be said to have been any reduction in the retail price of bread during the past three years. Such varia- tions as now occur from the standard price have always occurred, and always will oc- cur, so long as the seller is free to make concessions to the buyer. It is claimed, however, by some bakers that there has been an increase of weight within the past three years. Some especial- ly honest dealers claim that they are now making bread up to the full legal weight, a thing that, from their manner of speak- ing, a questioner must inevitably infer, 1s a reform of recent date. But even in these cases quite a large percentage of bakers interpret the law to mean the weight of the dough rather than the baked loaf. “L always give good weight,” sald a baker to me this morning. “I make every half loaf weigh a full pound before it is baked, and each loaf will bake out about one ounce while In the oven.” ‘The prevailing rates of wages for journey- men bakers is $12 a week, for foremen $18, though some journeymen get as high as $14, and others as little as $11. The wages of foremen range from $16 to $20 a week. The wages of journeymen have not changed in the last five years, but the increasing demand for bakers’ bread has given them steady employment, and this has served to steady, if not to increase, the price of their labor. - In the last two years, a baker told The Star correspondent today, not only has the price of flour and sugar been reduced, but the cost of eggs, pork, lard and butter have decreased nearly one-half. Boston bakers, then, within the past ten years, or at least since the law regulating the price and weight of bread was enacted, have profited by a reduction in material anfounting to fully one-half its cost, and all that they claim to have done in return is to have brought the loaf up to its legal weight. It is hardly to be expected that they would voluntarily increase the weight of a loaf above the legal standard, for human nature isn't built that way, even in Boston. Com- petition might have reduced the price, but it doesn’t seem to have done so. Cincinnati a Five-Cent Town. Correspondence of The Evening Star. CINCINNATI, October 24, 1894. This city has no lgw regulating the size, weight or quality of the bread furnished by bakers. Neither is the subject very well regulated by custom, as it is con- trolled almost wholly by competition. The average weight, however, is about sixteen ounces, Some bakers overrun that an ounce, while some others drop an ounce or two. The retail price is 5 cents a loaf. A few years ago it was 10 cents, then dropped to 8, but for a number of years it has remained steadily at 5. Within the past few years, that is, since the price of flour has been greatly reduced, the weight of the loaf given for 5 cents has _ been materially increased, being now almost double what it was three or four years ago. The rate of wages paid to journey- men bakers is uniform, being governed by the union. Bench men receive $12 per week and oven men $15, A Bread Crasade in St. Louis. Correspondence of The Evening Star. ST. LOUIS, October 21, 1894. Taking the cue from Washington, local papers here have begun a crusade against bakers who persist in charging 1891 prices for 1804 bread. Investigation has developed some inter- esting facts. Although the price of flour in St. Loufs is little more than half what it in 1891-2, the size of the loaf of bread remains the same, in most cases the price not having been reduced to either the con- sumer or the middle man. There are ex- ceptions to this rule, however. In some few instances the retailer is enabled to sell three loaves for 10 cents of a bread a little under the standard weight—the bread, in other words, that has been known as six-for-a-quarter stock. This is not a great reduction, as such bread has jong sold at the rate of 28 loaves for a dollar, Three sizes besides the loaf just referred to are sold here at the following prices: Two for a nickel, one for a nickel (stan- dard) and 10 cents. The nickel loaf Is just twice the size of the smallest loaf baked, and slightly larger than the loaf some dealers are now selling at three for 10 cents. The 10-cent loaf is double the size of the 5-cent loaf. There is no law governing their weight, but by common consent their welghts are as follows: First size, 12 ounces, second size (standard), twenty-four ounces; third size, forty-eight ounces. The sizes ‘of the six-for-a-quarter loaves are not uniform. All bakers do not manufacture them. The wages of bakers here, where the union is not strong, varies. The average is about $5 a week, with board. Their hours are long, but not uniform. Those who are boarded by their employers usually find their own lodgings. In some of the very large bakeries the men both board and ledge themselves, and their wages range from $12 to $15, their hours from nine to twelve. Wages have not been increased lately. Loaves and Prices in Philadelphia. Correspondence of The Evening Star, PHILADELPHIA, October 24, 1804, There are no specific regulations as to the weight of a loaf of bread in Pennsyl- vania. Years ago an act of legislature was passed requiring that a loaf of bread should weigh one pound. All that is required now is that bread shall be sold by weight. The weight of the loaves varies in Philadelphia from one to three pounds each. The gen- eral weight of bread is one pound, and bak- ers of Philadelphia make it this as near as possible. The retail price of bread per loaf varies according to its quality. For a pound loaf the bakers get 2 1-2 cents, or rather sell two loaves for 5 cents. This is known as home-made bread. The average price per pound for very good quality bread is 5 cents. Some large loaves sell for 7 cents. In regard to the prevailing rates of wages for journeymen bakers, it can be stated that in the large establishments the journeymen are paid from $10 to $20 per week, according to the character of the work. In the small bake shops men are given their board and from $6 to $10 or $12 a week. There has been a reduction in the retail price of bread, but this reduction varies, The weight of the loaf has been increased 10 per cent. Within the last three years the reduction in the price of flour has been about $1 per barrel. Generally speak- ing bread costs about 25 per cent less than it did several years ago. Richmond's Five-Cent Loaves. Correspondence of The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va., October 24, 1894. In Virginia there 1s no law regulating the weight of a loaf of bread, but by mutual agreement the bakers place it at from one pound to one pound and two ounces. The retail price of bread per loaf in Rich- mond Is five cents. ‘The prevailing rate of wages for journcy- men bakers is from §) to $15 per week for men, according to experience and qualifica- tions. The wages of boys are less. There has been no reduction in the retail price of bread within the past three years to correspond with the reduction in the price of flour, but there has been within that time an increase in the weight of the loaf of several ounces, Within the past year the weight of the loaf has been in- creased from eleven to twelve ounces to one pound and two ounces, Three years ago the regulation weight of the loaf was ten ounces, which sold at five cents, the price of a one-pound loaf now, Conditions in New York. Correspondence of The Evening Star, NEW YORK, October 24, 1804, One of the hardest and, inappropriately enough, one of the most indigestible prob- lems that the student of economics in this city has to tackle is that of cheap bread. What, with the hard times and the hun- dreds of hands loafing about in east-side bar rooms out of work; with the various bakers’ unions, such as the National and Independent, fighting against each other, and so bringing about their own impotency for any concerted and useful action; with the almost invariable filthiness rampant in the bakeries, both large and small, of this city, brought before the public eye by cru- ling papers, and with the most cursory investigation, proving the journeymen bak- ers of the east side to be the hardest work- ed and worst-paid men in the city, not even excepting those bent under the yoke of the “sweating” system, there is, indeed, cause for dire complaint, both among those who make and those who buy the “staff of life.” The root of the whole trouble, both for bakers and purchasers, really les in New York's strange forgetfulness as to legisla- tion in the matter of making and selling bread. New York, which has enacted an ordinance regulating the weighing of @ pound of sugar, has practically left each baker to follow his own methods unre- strained by either state or municipal legis- lation, with the pleasing result that the expansion or contraction of the average loaf for commerciai purposes is almost un- limited. Every baker being untrammeled by legis- lation, bakes his bread in weights and sells it in prices to suit himself. Ask ten bakers the average price of a one-pound loaf of bread and every one of them will tell you a different price, varying with the class of customers to whom he sells. Baked bread should, of course, be divided into two great divisions—the bread used by the well-to-do and middle classes, and that used by the poor east side, principally foreigners. The bread used by this latter class is of all varieties of weight, cheapness and worth- lessness, besides being in many cases the national bread of the country from which the consumer originally came. Below 14th street and east of the Bowery a pound loaf of so-called white bread can be obtained for 2 cents, rye bread being generally half a cent cheaper. On the other side of town, where the population, if not indigenous American, is, at least, thoroughly Ameri- canized—from the North river up through lith, 10th, 9th, Sth and 7th avenues—the bread is, as a rule, bought in one-pound and two-pound loaves, selling, respectively, on the average for 4 cents and 7 cents, These prices obtain for white bread only, of course, rye being slightly cheaper and sold in larger loaves, some of them weigh- ing as mvch as four pounds. Getting nearer to broadway means, as @ rule, an increase of a cent on the pound, the ‘one-pound loaf averaging 5 cents and the two-pound loaf 8 cents, and sometimes as much as 10 cents. The customer in all cases, understanding the baker’s method: asks for a “S-cent loaf,” or an “‘S-cent loaf,” without any reference, as in England or Germany, to the weight. And, after all, a man who buys a two- pound loaf because he thinks it weighs two pounds. is in ten cases out of twelve getting short weight. The Star correspondent the other day on putting on the scales a loaf represented by the baker to be a two-pound loaf found it over three ounces short of weight. The baker's reply, when asked for an explanation, was nothing if not in- genuous “Oh,” he said, “I put in more than two pounds of dough, but it must have shrunk!” But it is safe to say that the shrinkability of dough would be largely diminished if the law would step in, and by a common-sense ordinance protect the purchaser of bread. But not only is the public at the mercy of the master baker; so in a different and far more vital way are his employes. The Bakers’ Union has a highly pleasing scale of wages, but as far as practical results are concerned they are unable to enforce it, and the scale merely stands for the golden ideal of journeymen bakerdom. According to the union, a foreman is to receive $18 per week, a “second hand,” $12, and a “third hand,” $10, the hours being from eleven to twelve a day, inclusive of meal time. As a matter of fact, the majori- ty of bread bakers consider themselves lucky just at present when they can get a job working from twelve to sixteen hours a day, boarding out for $7 a week. Others, a plenty of them, are getting from $8 to $30 a month with board—board, it must not be forgotten, that it requires long habit and considerable strength of mind and stcmach to even face. And yet the master bakers’ profits are greater today then almost ever before. Within the last two or three years flour has Cropped down from $5.50 to $4 and $3.75 a barrel. But the public has not found any proportionate reduction in the retail price of bread or any increase in the weight of the loaf, in spite of the half- hearted declarations of sporadic bakers that their loaves are fully#a cent cheaper to- day than they were three years ago. The five-cent loaf of 18% and 1891 is the five- cent loaf of 18%, with the shrinking qual- iues of the dough as active as ever, if not more so. Chieago and Her Bakers. Correspondence of The Evening Star. CHICAGO, October 28, 1894, Neither the price nor the weight of bread has been fixed during the last three years to correspond with the reduction in the price of flour. Housekeepers pay just as much for a loaf of bread today as they did when flour cost $1 more a barrel than it does at present. There are regulations in Chicago as to the weight of a loaf of bread. A provision of the Lilinois statutes says that the weight of a loaf of bread, baked, must be at least sixteen ounces. But the law is a dead let- ter. It is not observed, and the violators are not punished. The large bakeries, with but few exceptions, turn out loaves that weigh from sixteen to twenty ounces, and sometimes twenty-four ounces, and these loaves retail for 5 cents. But the smaller bakers do not observe the law. They make loaves, and put them on the market, which do not weigh more than twelve ounces. Many of these loaves are retailed at 5 cents, but some are sold at 4 cents; and a few of the bakeries in the tenement dis- tricts turn out loaves weighing twelve ounces, which are retailed at 3 cents each. These loaves, however, contain very little lard or sugar. There is not much chance for complaint from the very poor people on account of the price of bread, as they can buy bread which retails at 5 cents for 2 cents a loaf when the bread is a day old "These 2-cent loaves can be secured at the large bakeries, and the bread is exception- ally good and’ weighs fully sixteen ounces a loaf. Journeymen bakers are reasonably well a. The prevailing rate of wages is * He week for cight hovrs @ day work. The bakery people claim that they have increased the welght of a loaf of bread since the reduction in the price of flour, but they say they are not doing as much busi- ness or making as much profit as when the price of flour was at the top notch. “The reason for this is because the housekeepers are buying flour by the barrel and are mak- ing their own bread,” said one of the big bakery proprietors. “Our sales have fallen off considerably since the price of flour went down. We cannot afford to reduce the price of a five-cent loaf to four cents, be- cause such a reduction would not corres pond with the reduction In flour. We in- creased the size of the loaf to make things even, but the people cannot be made to be- lieve they are getting the worth of their money, and the result is that those who can afford to buy flour by the barrei are making their own bread. That ts, a great many people are. The reduction in the price of flour has certainly injureg the akery business. Cheap Bread in Pittsburg. Correspondence of The Evening Star. PITTSBURG, Pa., October 17, 1894. There are in Pittsburg no regulations as to the weight of a loaf of bread. As a re sult, there are many weights and many qualities, and the price depends not only cn the weight, but upon the brand of flour used. ‘The retail price of bread per loaf is fmm 5 to 9 cents, according to weight &nd qual- ity. An ordinarily good quality of bread, fit for any table, and of really fine retails at the rate of 9 cents for a Tonk weighing 3 1-2 pounds. This, of course, is a large loaf, the largest made here. A two- pound loaf generally sells for § cents. The five-cent loaves are often a little short in weight. Journeymen bakers are paid from $12 to $15 per week. While the prices of bread have not changed much or any per loaf, of the various brands, our bakers are putting about 50 per cent more flour in the I ey did three years ago, The le vrs of this city sell bread, y claim,so that it can be retailed cheaper an a housekeeper can buy the flour and ake the bread, counting her cost of fugh and labor.
