Talked-of Increase Is Without Justification Despite the intimation of certain bakers Saturday that an increase of 3 to 3 cents a loaf in the retail Price of bread would be necessary to enable them to break even finan- cially, the sentiment of the majority of Seattie’n breadmakers is so strong against such a move that the only | view of the situation possible Mon- day {# an optimistic one, from the conmumers’ point of view. “What do you mean, raise the Price of bread?” Sam Young, man- ager of Young Brothers’ bakery, de- manded, when- the question was put up to him. “The flour market is going Gown, and baking expefises in general are at Jenst getting no high et, so why should we increase the the consumer more at the present time, and if the others change, I don't think we will In fact, 1 am sure we won't.” NO INCREASE IS SUSTIFIABLE NOW E. F. Falters, proprietor of the Mity Nice bakery, expressed the opin- fop that in some cases the proposed increase might be justifiable, but not at the present time. He also pointed to the falling flour market, and de- clared that even those bakeries that claim to be losing money under pres- ent conditions should wait at least 30 days before considering a raise in price, and see just what the mar- ket is going to do. “If flour continues to drop at the Present rate,” said Fallers, “and other expenses go down or hold even, there will be no need of adding to the selling price of bread. In 30 days the market will be settled, and the situation can be sized up accurately.” KE. Haack, manager of the Uni- versity bakery, was emphatic in the assertion that no move toward high-| er prices should be made at the present time, “I do not think that {t will become necessary to ‘raise the price of) bread,” he said. “Anyhow, those who are figuring on such a step should wait until November 1, at least. I can say frankly that we are making money under the present conditions, but we have to work for it." Marry wler, president of the Western bakeries, and L. C. Stiles, | manager of the Ruth Ashbrook bak: | ery, holds with the majority, that there is no legitimate reason for | burdening the public with more cost- ly bread at the present time, R AND COSTS ALLY DROPPING The question of whether bakers should charge 2 to 3 cents more for bread was first raised Saturday by KE, Thofnhill, secretary of the Seattle | Association of Baking Industry, who | submitted figures to show that some | of the members of the association were actually losing money each| month under present conditions, Monday, however, J. 8. Goldsmith, treasurer of the association, declared | that the problem of increase was up| to the individual bakers, and that the Seattle Assoctation of Baking Indus- try could not and would not go on record as sanctioning such a move, Not only is the flour market stead- ily dropping, but a report of the de- partment of agriculture shows that costs in general have registered an average decrease of 4 per cent since July.

The story was around Yelm, after the | uties had left homes. “It's a cinch out of the woods,” declared if Gifford, of Olympia, M a | Chehalis deputies claim could have gotten away.
